Chapter 719 - 719 717 Let Her Off the Hook

719: Chapter 717: Let Her Off the Hook 719: Chapter 717: Let Her Off the Hook Seeing the Widow Wei being dragged onto the car, Chang Jun let out a big sigh of relief, secretly glad that this incident hadn’t implicated him.

But as he was feeling relieved, Chen Yang glanced at him and then called out to the police officers who were about to leave.

“Wait a moment, Comrade Officer, you’ve missed someone.”

Chen Yang spoke loudly.

The police officer stopped upon hearing this and turned back to Chen Yang to ask who it was.

Chen Yang directly accused Chang Jun: “He’s also one of the people who slandered me, and even more, he’s the mastermind.”

All the people on the scene were stunned when they heard this.

They couldn’t figure out how this matter was related to Chang Jun.

And when Chang Jun heard this, he exploded on the spot.

“Chen Yang!

What the hell are you talking about?

Are you framing me?

The police officer is right here, you have to be responsible for what you say.”

Chang Jun retorted loudly.

Chen Yang didn’t even entertain him but told the police directly that he had evidence.

The police originally thought it was unlikely, since Chang Jun was the one who called the police, how could he also be involved in this matter?

However, since Chen Yang said he had evidence, the police took it seriously.

“Show the evidence.

If it really proves he’s involved in this matter, indeed we can take him away,” said the police officer earnestly.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang did not dilly-dally and immediately took out his phone to play another video.

The footage in this video showed the Widow Wei and Chang Jun plotting together, which Chen Yang had recorded in the hills that day.

At that time, Chen Yang knew that the Widow Wei and Chang Jun wanted to target him, so he deliberately filmed this video.

This video could not only prove Chang Jun’s involvement in framing Chen Yang, but it even revealed their clandestine relationship.

Just a second ago, Chang Jun was furiously angry, but he deflated instantly.

Fear was written all over his face!

If this confirmed his role in framing Chen Yang, then he would certainly lose his government-provided meal ticket!

“You… How could you have such a video?

It’s definitely fake, you’re framing me,” Chang Jun cried out in panic, trying to deny the incontrovertible evidence in front of him.

“Whether it’s true or not, I trust the officer here can see for himself,” Chen Yang said with a cold smile.

The police officer watched the video twice and, upon confirming there were no issues, went to apprehend the suspect.

Chang Jun watched the confidently approaching police officers, completely in a panic.

“Comrade Officer, listen to my explanation, it’s not what it looks like, he’s framing me, this is all fake…” Chang Jun frantically tried to explain.

But the police didn’t pay any attention to him.

“If you want to explain, explain back at the station!”

With a scolding tone, they cuffed him directly and put him in the car.

Chang Jun was on the verge of tears, his eyes fixated on Gu Ming.

The meaning was clear, he was hoping for Gu Ming to save him.

But at this moment, where could Gu Ming even have a say?

Thus, he could only watch as both the Widow Wei and Chang Jun were taken away.

After the police car had left and was out of sight, the villagers on the scene started chattering again.

“Tsk tsk tsk, who would’ve thought, Widow Wei is so heartless, framing Yang Zi just for some lover.”

“Blinded by lust, it’s detestable indeed, but I feel sorry for her kid, how will he manage to live now.”

…

The villagers sighed incessantly.

Wu Kexin also hadn’t expected that things would escalate to this point.

“The Gu Family really has no other way to deal with you, huh?

They’ve actually resorted to such despicable tactics,” Wu Kexin whispered to Chen Yang as she moved closer.

It was obvious from the video that Chang Jun was instructed by someone to get the Widow Wei to do this.

And since Chang Jun is with the Gu Family, who else could have instructed him other than Gu Ming?

“Heh heh,” Chen Yang let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, his eyes turning towards Gu Ming.

Gu Ming attempted to steal chickens but ended up losing his rice; his face was a ghastly shade of iron blue.

After detecting Chen Yang’s gaze, he huffed heavily in displeasure and walked away with his people.

The commotion at Chen Yang’s doorstep didn’t last long, and everyone eventually dispersed.

After all, it was getting late, and they had to rise early for work the next day.

Once everyone had gone, Chen Yang also escorted Wu Kexin back to the village committee.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Yang would have gone straight to sleep, but today’s events made that inconvenient.

So Chen Yang returned home alone.

…

Early the next morning, Chen Yang drove to the village committee.

Following Wu Kexin’s visit, he then headed to the town office.

Widow Wei and Chang Jun were detained there.

How to handle this matter would ultimately depend on Chen Yang’s decision, so he had to come and deal with it.

Framing someone is not a trivial matter, nor is it an insignificant one.

If Chen Yang really wanted to be punitive, both of them would certainly end up behind bars.

But if he chose not to pursue it, he could also release them.

So the decision rested in Chen Yang’s hands.

Upon entering the place where Widow Wei and Chang Jun were detained, a police officer received them.

The officer led Chen Yang and Wu Kexin into a room.

This room was where the two were being held.

Although they had been interrogated all night, when Chen Yang and Wu Kexin arrived, neither of them were sleeping; instead, they sat nervously on the bed in the room, evidently lost in thought.

“Last night, these two confessed to everything, and the evidence is quite substantial; if you wish to prosecute, there would be no doubt about the outcome,” said the police officer to Chen Yang.

“Mm-hmm, I got it, thank you,” Chen Yang expressed his gratitude.

The officer waved it off, saying “you’re welcome,” and then left the room.

At this point, Widow Wei and Chang Jun noticed Chen Yang’s arrival.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, they immediately began to plead for mercy.

“Wuu wuu wuu, Brother Chen Yang, I’m truly sorry, please be magnanimous and don’t hold this against me, let me off just this once,” Chang Jun loudly begged.

But Chen Yang didn’t even glance at him; Chang Jun was definitely someone he wouldn’t let off.

His main reason for coming here was to see Widow Wei.

Or rather, to give Widow Wei a chance.

Sending Widow Wei away was something that Chen Yang found hard to bear.

After all, she had a child of only a few years old at home—if she were imprisoned, her family would be in serious trouble.

Being from the same village, her husband had, after all, some interactions with Chen Yang.

“Wuu wuu wuu…

Yang Zi, sister-in-law is sorry, I was blinded by nonsense, my mind was clouded by lard, I did such an unconscionable thing to you, I’m really inhumane,” wept Widow Wei.

After Chang Jun’s pleading, Widow Wei collapsed onto her knees in front of Chen Yang, admitting her wrongdoing.

She regretted being persuaded by Chang Jun to do such a thing.

Getting emotional, she even raised her hand to slap her own face.

It wasn’t a pretend slap, but a real, forceful one, resounding with each slap.

So after a few times, her cheeks began to swell.

However, she did not stop; she continued to slap herself, sincerely apologizing to Chen Yang, and repenting for her lard-blinded mind.

Chen Yang felt no sympathy for Widow Wei’s actions; he only felt concern for her child at home.

“Enough, you don’t have to do this anymore.

I’ll give you a chance with this matter—I won’t let you go to prison,” said Chen Yang after a long silence, deciding to let Widow Wei off.

Upon hearing this, Widow Wei burst into tears of joy, continuously thanking Chen Yang.

“You don’t need to thank me; I’m doing this for the sake of your child.

As for you, you’d better behave yourself.” With that, Chen Yang turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Yang forgiving Widow Wei yet not agreeing to let him off, Chang Jun became panic-stricken.

He hurriedly tried to call out to Chen Yang, but Chen Yang didn’t even acknowledge him, taking Wu Kexin and leaving instead.
