CHAPTER 1183: CHAPTER 1179: INCORRIGIBLE

"Brother! Please don’t do this, I really know I was wrong. I was just impulsive for a moment, and that’s why I did what I did. Give me a chance to make it right!" The man kneeled in front of Chen Yang, begging loudly for mercy.

But, Chen Yang remained unmoved.

The last time the guy was extorting people, Chen Yang could say he had already given him a chance.

Not only did he not correct his behavior, he actually came back for revenge. Does such a person deserve sympathy, another chance?

"You can forget about any chance. This thermostatic room is worth at least a million, and not only did you wreck it, you want to ruin the few remaining items as well. You have a truly black heart," Chen Yang said coldly, thinking about the man’s murmuring earlier, fueling his anger.

If it weren’t for seeing the police approaching, he would’ve loved to give the guy a couple of slaps.

"Brother, brother, I beg you, please don’t call the police. Tonight, I will fully compensate for your loss, okay? Just give me a chance." Seeing Chen Yang’s firm stance, the man became even more desperate in his pleas.

At the same time, he truly became fearful, with tears welling up in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was really scared.

Whimpering...

Before Chen Yang could say anything else after the man finished his pleas, the sound of a police siren suddenly interrupted.

The police had arrived.

Chen Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw two police cars already entering Liuhe Village.

The man was first shocked and trembling with fear at the sight.

Then his expression suddenly turned wild.

Seeing the police cars arriving and Chen Yang still unwilling to forgive him, he abruptly stood up.

As he got up, he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it at Chen Yang.

Taking advantage of the moment Chen Yang shielded himself, he bolted away.

Gotta admit, the guy’s speed was fast; in the time it took for Chen Yang to react, he had already run more than ten meters away.

"Truly incorrigible,"

Watching the flustered man fleeing, Chen Yang’s anger boiled even more.

He swiftly charged forward and caught up with the man.

With a direct kick to his back.

The man was already in extreme panic, using all his strength to run away.

Unable to maintain balance, with a slight external force, he immediately stumbled and tumbled like a ball, eventually falling in the field.

"Running from me, really, wishful thinking."

Chen Yang stood on the ridge, saying.

The man fell into the paddy, struggled to stand up again, and began pleading, "Brother, I really know I’m wrong, give me a chance, I can’t go to jail."

Initially, when the man was pleading like this, although Chen Yang didn’t assuage, he was somewhat swayed internally.

But now, there wasn’t a hint of other thoughts in him.

If he truly wanted to reform, would he still behave like this?

Chen Yang stood on the ridge, looking coldly at the man, saying nothing.

Yet, the man didn’t give up, constantly speaking kindly to Chen Yang in the paddy.

Chen Yang remained utterly silent.

Not until the police arrived did Chen Yang speak directly, "I reported it; this guy here in the field stole at night and damaged my thermostatic room."

Upon hearing this, the police immediately lit up the paddy with a flashlight.

"You, come out."

The police yelled sternly, loudly.

Seeing the police had arrived so close, the man looked as if his face turned ashen, like all his spirit had been sucked out instantly.

He knew he couldn’t escape, so he followed the police’s instructions and walked out of the field.

As soon as he came out, the police promptly cuffed him and brought him to the doorway of the thermostatic room.

The police did not interrogate immediately but followed Chen Yang into the thermostatic room to check the specific damage.

At first, Chen Yang only turned on the light to glimpse the "tragic" state of the thermostatic room.

Now, with the police meticulously inspecting, it became clear how ruthless the guy had been.

The vast thermostatic room had no untouched spot.

All wild mushroom seedlings were almost entirely uprooted and stomped into the soil.

Not a single wild mushroom was left for Chen Yang.

Seeing the situation, Chen Yang had no intention of letting the man off.

"Officer, you’ve seen the scene, what do you think the guy will face?" Chen Yang directly asked the police.

The police were collecting evidence on-site, taking pictures, and gathering tools used in the crime.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s question, the police officer looked up and replied, "You caught him on the scene; the criminal facts are indisputable. The sentencing will depend on the actual loss."

After saying this, the police asked Chen Yang the price of his thermostatic room.

Chen Yang pondered and said, "I’m not sure about the exact price, but I know it can yield tens of thousands a day."

Upon hearing this, the police were shocked.

"Tens of thousands?"

"Yes, I cultivate valuable wild mushrooms. Such a large thermostatic room can produce several hundred kilograms daily," Chen Yang confirmed with a nod.

The police were initially surprised but settled the moment they heard about the wild mushrooms.

In the county, the reputation of wild mushrooms is well-known; who doesn’t know they’re expensive?

"Then this is serious; I estimate at least ten years or more, plus compensation for your economic losses," the police roughly concluded.

Catching this response, Chen Yang felt relieved.

He lost a thermostatic room, but it wouldn’t be in vain. They could get the guy ten years or more and monetary compensation.

He was very satisfied with this outcome.

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, officer." Chen Yang nodded with a slight smile.

"It’s my duty,"

The police waved his hand and continued collecting evidence at the scene.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang left the thermostatic room and went to a quiet place to contact the mushroom cultivation boss, asking him to come over the next day to repair the thermostatic room.

Upon hearing the opportunity for business, the boss agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I will be there first thing in the morning."

Chen Yang gave a hum, hung up the phone, and then returned to the doorway of the thermostatic room.

In the dead of the night, any disturbance seemed particularly loud.

Especially with police cars entering the village. By the time Chen Yang returned, the entrance to the thermostatic room was crowded with villagers who came out to watch the commotion.

All gathered at the entrance to the thermostatic room.

The villagers had arrived minutes ago and had a general understanding of what had happened, though none had entered the thermostatic room.

Seeing Chen Yang arriving, the villagers spoke up, showing their concern for Chen Yang.

"Yang Zi, how much damage is done to the thermostatic room?"

"Don’t worry too much, Yang Zi, it’s good they’ve caught him."
