CHAPTER 1184: CHAPTER 1180: AN UNEXPECTED DELIGHT

The villagers all started to offer comfort, trying to persuade Chen Yang.

Because in their eyes, they thought Chen Yang had suffered a considerable loss this time.

After all, it’s hundreds of thousands, not just a few thousand or so!

But in reality, Chen Yang didn’t feel that way; to him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

The wild mushrooms were destroyed, so he just needed to ask the cultivation boss to come and replant them.

The only thing that made him a bit upset was the loss of a temperature-controlled room, which would decrease the weekly yield of wild mushrooms.

The supply had been stable these days, and a sudden drop might cause some trouble.

"Thank you all for your concern. Although the loss is somewhat significant, it’s still within an acceptable range; it’s not a big deal." Chen Yang responded with a smile to the aunts and uncles who were worried about him.

Seeing Chen Yang so open-minded, everyone felt relieved.

"Haha, Yang Zi, you’ve got a good attitude; that’s exactly what you need for doing business."

"Yes, our Yang Zi has the mindset to handle it, and these little issues can’t deter him."

...

Chen Yang laughed, and his worried aunts also felt assured, instantly easing the atmosphere.

"Chen Yang, how’s the situation? Have they caught the person?"

Just as the atmosphere was relaxing, Wu Kexin arrived on the scene.

Seeing Wu Kexin in slippers, it was clear she had already gone to bed but rushed over upon hearing about the issue with the temperature-controlled room.

"One temperature-controlled room was destroyed, and all the wild mushrooms inside are gone. They caught the person; he’s over there." Chen Yang said, pointing to the man being restrained by the police not far away.

Upon hearing the situation, Wu Kexin’s brows furrowed immediately, but she didn’t say much and just glanced at the man.

After sizing up the man for a few seconds, her gaze returned to Chen Yang: "This guy looks unfamiliar; doesn’t seem like someone from the Gu Family."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile: "He’s indeed not from the Gu Family."

"Then who is he?"

Wu Kexin questioned, looking at Chen Yang.

She couldn’t think of anyone besides the Gu Family who would retaliate against Chen Yang by destroying all the temperature-controlled rooms at once.

"Let’s head back first; I’ll explain it to you on the way."

Chen Yang thought for a moment and decided not to explain on the spot.

"Go back now? What about the scene here?" Wu Kexin immediately asked.

"I’ve already spoken to the police, and they’ve caught the person; there’s nothing more for me to do here. We just wait quietly for the results; let’s go." Chen Yang, taking it lightly, didn’t want to stay any longer after resolving the matter.

Wu Kexin thought Chen Yang just didn’t want to see the mess, so she reluctantly nodded: "Alright... I’ll go back with you."

"Mm-hmm, let’s go."

Chen Yang smiled, nodded, and took Wu Kexin away from the temperature-controlled room, acting as if nothing had happened.

On the way back to the village, Chen Yang explained the situation with the man to Wu Kexin.

After hearing the whole story, Wu Kexin was infuriated by the man.

"This guy is truly despicable. You just reported him to the police, and he held such a grudge. That was a temperature-controlled room worth a million! How could he do that?" Wu Kexin said through gritted teeth.

Thinking about this, Chen Yang was also quite angry: "Exactly, it’s better to keep such a person locked up. Otherwise, he’d just be a menace to society outside."

"Mm-hmm, true, keeping him locked up is better." Wu Kexin nodded in strong agreement but suddenly chided, "And you too, there are lots of ways to punish him. Why resort to this self-damaging method?"

Earlier, when Chen Yang was explaining the situation to Wu Kexin, he also told her how he had already noticed the man’s movements.

He could have stopped the man at that time, but to ensure the man received a heavier punishment, he intentionally allowed him to cause damage first.

That’s why Wu Kexin had a bit of a bone to pick with Chen Yang.

Yet Chen Yang didn’t regret it and, rather, felt he did the right thing.

After all, a temperature-controlled room wasn’t a big deal to him, and if it meant the man would serve a longer sentence, it was worth it!

"Haha, it’s okay. I’ve already contacted the mushroom farm owner; we’ll repair it tomorrow."

Chen Yang chuckled, saying.

Wu Kexin was helpless upon hearing this, shaking her head without saying much more to Chen Yang.

After finishing their conversation, they arrived at the clinic’s entrance.

Looking at the clinic, Wu Kexin thought for a moment and said: "Chen Yang, you should have a good rest tonight. I’ll head back first. If there’s any issue with tonight’s events, feel free to let me know anytime. I’ll negotiate with the town."

As Wu Kexin suddenly suggested leaving, Chen Yang was momentarily stunned.

But after realizing it, he suddenly turned around and embraced Wu Kexin.

Wu Kexin blushed red at Chen Yang’s sudden action.

"Chen Yang, what are you doing? It’s not good if someone sees us." Wu Kexin struggled slightly but didn’t exert much effort.

Chen Yang chuckled: "It’s late at night; there’s no one around. Besides, you’re leaving me here alone, to worry about the temperature-controlled room, even though you came all this way."

With those words, Wu Kexin rolled her eyes.

She didn’t see any worry over the room’s condition, as his mood seemed fine.

"Don’t you have Annie with you? How can you say you’re alone?" Wu Kexin said, blushing.

"Annie had something to handle today, so she went back. I’m all alone at home. I’d feel really uneasy if you don’t stay with me." Chen Yang exaggerated.

Wu Kexin understood Chen Yang’s intention; his uneasiness was just an excuse; he actually wanted her to stay.

Knowing Annie wasn’t around, she too wanted to stay with Chen Yang since they hadn’t been alone together for quite some time.

"Alright, let’s go back to get some clothes; I can’t go out tomorrow in pajamas." Wu Kexin thought and said.

"Haha, okay, let’s go."

Seeing Wu Kexin agree, Chen Yang immediately embraced her and headed to the village center.

Both shy and pleased, Wu Kexin gave Chen Yang a double glance.

With streetlights in the village illuminating the way, they moved quickly and reached the village center room in just a few minutes.

Back in the room, Wu Kexin wasted no time and directly went to the wardrobe to pick out clothes for tomorrow.

Initially, Chen Yang was sitting in the room, but seeing Wu Kexin choosing clothes, he got up and moved closer to watch.

Wu Kexin knew Chen Yang likely had some mischief up his sleeve, so she carefully picked clothes without touching revealing or sexy ones.

After selecting a couple of plain outfits, she turned to Chen Yang and said, "Alright, I’m ready. Let’s go."

Chen Yang felt a tinge of disappointment seeing she was ready so quickly: "That’s it? Aren’t you going to look more?"

Wu Kexin rolled her eyes, exasperated: "That’s all there is."

"Uh, okay then."

Chen Yang still expected a surprise, but seeing that Wu Kexin was done, he didn’t say more and prepared to leave with her.

But just as Wu Kexin was closing the wardrobe door, Chen Yang suddenly spotted some stockings in the corner.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly stopped Wu Kexin from shutting the wardrobe.
