Chapter 1067: Chapter 1063: The Motive Is Nonsense

Accountant Wu was violently beating him up.

After a full ten minutes, Old He could no longer take it and quickly waved his hand, indicating that he would confess.

Accountant Wu, having vented most of his anger by then, saw that Old He wanted to speak and stopped his assault.

"Speak quickly, or I’ll surely beat you to death today!"

Accountant Wu shouted loudly.

Old He lay on the ground, took a couple of breaths, and after his breathing steadied, he said, "The poison in the herbs... I put it there!"

"Of course I know you did it. What was your motive? Why harm others?" Accountant Wu was furious, hands on his hips.

Chen Yang, hearing Old He’s confession, stepped forward.

Old He glanced at Chen Yang and then said, "Because the security at your hotel looks down on people like a watchdog. When I went to spend money, they wouldn’t let me in. I wanted revenge, so I came up with this plan."

Old He was gasping, without any unusual expression on his face.

But this reason, to Chen Yang, didn’t seem quite right.

Is this even a reason? It sounds quite ridiculous, right?

"Wow, you’re really ruthless! Just for something like this, you nearly poisoned a hundred people to death! You’d better be ready to rot in jail!"

Chen Yang found it absurd, but Accountant Wu did not. At this moment, all he wanted to do was bring the real culprit to justice.

Without another word, he grabbed Old He directly to take him to the police in Lin Tianxia.

While Chen Yang had doubts, he too wanted to quickly exonerate Li Han.

So, without dwelling on those questions, he joined Accountant Wu in taking Old He out of the alley.

Yang Ruoxi had been waiting outside the whole time. Seeing Chen Yang and Accountant Wu bringing out a beaten man, she immediately knew that was Old He.

"How did it go, Chen Yang? Did this guy admit it? Did he poison them?"

Yang Ruoxi asked eagerly.

Chen Yang nodded, "He admitted it. He was the one responsible for the poisoning. We’re taking him back to the police. Li Han should be in the clear."

"That’s great! My sister is finally safe!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was overjoyed!

Not wanting to waste any time, she immediately got into the car with Chen Yang and Accountant Wu, taking Old He back to Lin Tianxia.

The situation in Lin Tianxia was already improving a lot.

The patients who woke up were all sent to the hospital for check-ups, and the medical staff went along with them.

Currently, only the hotel staff and the police responsible for investigating the incident remained in the hotel.

When Chen Yang brought Old He back, the police had already identified the root of the problem.

It was the ingredients that were the issue.

Just as they were about to investigate the source of the ingredients, Chen Yang, Yang Ruoxi, and Accountant Wu returned with Old He.

Chen Yang directly found the person in charge of the investigation and recounted Old He’s situation to him.

Upon hearing that Old He was the supplier of the ingredients, the officer immediately handcuffed Old He.

"Since you provided the ingredients, you’re a prime suspect. Come with us to assist in the investigation."

Old He didn’t even have a chance to speak before he was loaded into a police car and taken away.

After cuffing and taking Old He away, the officer then turned his attention to Accountant Wu.

"You also need to come with us, as you bear some responsibility in this matter."

Accountant Wu had mentally prepared himself for this.

So he didn’t say anything, obediently following the police.

Seeing both of them being taken away, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask, "Officer... The problem has been identified, and the patients are fine. When can you release my sister? She needs to oversee the hotel’s aftermath handling."

Yang Ruoxi was very worried about Li Han, eagerly wanting her to be released from the police station.

Chen Yang felt the same, very concerned about Li Han.

"We can only release her after a thorough investigation is complete. Please understand, as this is a serious matter that can’t be brushed off." The officer thought for a moment before replying.

"How long will it take for the investigation to be complete?"

Yang Ruoxi immediately followed up with another question.

"If the suspect cooperates, we should be done today. But if they refuse to cooperate, it might take a long time." The officer explained.

"This..."

Hearing that it might take longer, Yang Ruoxi became anxious again, wanting to say something.

But Chen Yang stopped her.

Chen Yang knew the officer was simply doing his duty, and there was nothing they could do about it.

They should support and cooperate, not argue.

"Alright, thank you, officer."

While stopping Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang also thanked the officer.

"Yes, yes, we’ll do it as quickly as possible! Don’t worry too much."

The officer nodded and then turned to leave.

After the officer left, Chen Yang comforted Yang Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, the police are also in a tough spot. Though today’s incident didn’t cause very severe consequences, over a hundred people were poisoned. The fact that Li Han can be exonerated is already very good. All we can do now is wait." Chen Yang earnestly reassured Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi was reasonable; she was just overly worried about Li Han a moment ago, leading to her reaction.

After listening to Chen Yang’s reassurance, she immediately understood.

"Yes, yes, you’re right, Chen Yang. We just hope my sister can be exonerated. We need to handle outside matters for her. We’ll leave the investigation to the police."

Yang Ruoxi wiped away the tears on her face and nodded sensibly.

Chen Yang gave her a comforting pat on the head and then, without lingering in the hotel, took Yang Ruoxi to the county central hospital to check on the poisoning patients.

Although Chen Yang’s antidote relieved the patients, he had arranged with Old Li for them to be sent to the hospital for examination to prevent any unforeseen issues.

After several hours, all the patients had completed their examinations.

"Old Li."

Chen Yang first found Old Li in the hospital’s department.

Seeing Chen Yang, Old Li immediately briefed him on the situation there.

"Chen Yang, you’re here. Everything’s alright here. All the patients have been detoxified by your antidote, with only a minor portion still feeling a little unwell." Old Li smiled as he spoke to Chen Yang.

Hearing this, Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi were relieved.

"It’s good that they’re okay."

Chen Yang smiled.

"The patients are fine, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any trouble. More problems lie ahead." Old Li suddenly said.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi were puzzled by this.

But before they could ask, they saw that many elderly men and women suddenly gathered outside the department door.

As soon as these people saw Chen Yang, they began to clamor.

"Are you two senior executives of the hotel? Our banquet turned into such a mess. Are you just going to let it go?"

"You can’t just let it slide. Our bodies shouldn’t suffer in vain. Your hotel must give us an explanation."

"Yeah, an explanation! Who knows if there are any lasting effects? We absolutely can’t let this go."

...

The people outside were family members of the patients. They were very emotional, loudly confronting Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi.

Chen Yang was fine, having strong endurance.

Seeing this scene didn’t affect him much.

But Yang Ruoxi was different. She had never seen any scene like this.

Seeing the fierce looks of those family members outside, she was terrified and instinctively hid behind Chen Yang.
