Chapter 151 - 149: Found by Mo Yu

Chapter 151: Chapter 149: Found by Mo Yu

It didn’t take long to identify Gou Ji; the man hadn’t made much effort to hide his whereabouts during the day.

When they discovered he had fled to Mountain Ridge Town, even the higher-ups began to suspect Lin Feng was behind it.

Otherwise, why run to Mountain Ridge Town after the assault?

In the hospital, Kong Lin, who had just regained consciousness, was yelling at the top of his lungs.

"It was definitely Lin Feng from Lin Xian Village! Go arrest him, now!"

"My son is still in a coma, and instead of catching the culprit, you’re here guarding me? What’s the point?"

"You cops are all in it together! I’m going to report you to your superiors!"

"..."

A crowd of livestreamers had shown up at the hospital, all hoping to get first-hand information and chase some clout.

But with police guarding the entrance, they couldn’t get inside. All they could do was record some of the audio.

Online, the situation was blowing up. With some people fanning the flames behind the scenes, the number of netizens cursing out Lin Feng grew and grew.

When Hu Xia started her stream, she was left speechless by the comments scrolling across the screen: "village tyrant," "county-level elites," "government-business collusion," and so on.

Given Lin Xian Village’s current status, some matters were beyond the county’s jurisdiction and required approval from even higher authorities.

’If these people are going to throw insults, they should at least get their facts straight and aim their vitriol more accurately.’

"You all have such short memories. You’ll believe anything anyone tells you."

"You get proven wrong time and time again, but you still don’t learn to think for yourselves. You just spend all day online being trolls."

Apparently, the netizens didn’t see anything wrong with their own behavior; on the contrary, they thought they were making perfect sense.

"So we’re trolls? Then tell us, why did the people who came to protest with a banner during the day get attacked that same night?"

"Yeah, why did they show up to protest during the day and end up nearly beaten to death that night?"

"And another thing! I heard the attacker fled to Mountain Ridge Town last night. How can you still claim Lin Xian Village didn’t hire a thug!"

Hu Xia asked in surprise, "The assailant fled to Mountain Ridge Town? How did you hear about that?"

She called out to Lin Feng, "Boss! Boss! Someone’s saying the attacker fled to Mountain Ridge Town! You don’t think he’s coming for you, do you?"

Lin Feng was also a little surprised to hear that. ’Why would he run to Mountain Ridge Town? Could one of the Mountain Ridge Town villagers have done it?’

It wasn’t impossible. Someone could have seen the protest during the day and, not wanting to let them ruin Lin Xian Village’s tourism business, actually dared to take matters into their own hands.

Cutting off a person’s livelihood is like murdering their parents, after all.

A lot of people in Mountain Ridge Town were now making money thanks to the tourism in Lin Xian Village.

"Look! The police are here talking to your Lin Xian Village employees! You can’t cover this up for much longer."

"It’s really happening. I can’t believe Lin Xian Village is actually involved in this."

Hu Xia read the comments and glanced behind her. She saw that the police were, in fact, speaking with Ding Haolian and Qin Youyou.

She was puzzled. ’Could they be involved? The Kong father and son certainly have a grudge against them.’

’But that can’t be right,’ she thought. ’The Kongs just got out of the detention center. Even if Ding Haolian and Qin Youyou wanted revenge, they wouldn’t have had time to plan anything.’

Besides, the person who attacked the Kongs was completely reckless, only bothering to wear a mask.

"There’s no way Lin Xian Village can talk its way out of this one. Even if your boss isn’t involved, your employees are."

"The Earth God punishes evil and promotes good, yet your Lin Xian Village still has villains in its midst!"

"Lin Xian Village should hand over the Earth God! You people don’t deserve to have one!"

Hu Xia ignored the stream comments. "Boss, I’m going to go ask what’s happening."

"Okay, go find out. There must be some kind of misunderstanding."

Lin Feng didn’t believe the pair would hire someone to attack the Kongs. Besides, Qin Youyou had just told him yesterday that someone was harassing her; she wouldn’t have been in any state of mind to plot something like this.

The police were just conducting a routine inquiry. They had identified Gou Ji and found that his life intersected with both Ding Haolian’s and Qin Youyou’s.

Combined with their existing conflict with the Kong Family, this led the police to suspect they had hired someone to carry out the attack.

But what they learned only confused them further. ’Could it be that Gou Ji attacked the Kongs out of some twisted sense of revenge for Qin Youyou?’

Based on the information they had gathered, this was the most likely motive. The main priority now was to apprehend Gou Ji.

After entering Mountain Ridge Town, the man had vanished. He had most likely headed into the mountains.

At that moment, Gou Ji had just crested a mountain and was making his way around toward the North Mountain Fruit Garden.

The man was in a frenzied state. Thinking he would see Qin Youyou soon, he scrambled quickly toward the summit.

If Lin Feng hadn’t disabled the personnel alert function during the day, he would have already seen an alert for Gou Ji.

Lin Feng had turned it off because of all the tourists in Lin Xian Village, leaving only the wild animal alerts active.

Otherwise, with so many tourists in the village, the alarm would go off constantly, especially since some of them would touch the buildings and trigger it.

Hu Xia soon returned and announced to her livestream, "Wuyuan County just issued a wanted notice. You can all go look it up. The assailant has been identified."

"This guy might have some mental issues. For the past few days, he’s been harassing Qin Youyou, trying to force her to be his girlfriend."

"Because of him, Youyou has been forced to stay here in Lin Xian Village, too scared to go home."

"For whatever reason, when the Kongs got out of the detention center yesterday and came here to protest, he was present as well."

"And who would have guessed that later that night, the guy would show up at their door and attack them."

"As for why he did it? We’ll have to wait until the police catch him to get that answer."

After hearing Hu Xia’s explanation, some viewers in the chat searched online and found that Wuyuan County had indeed issued an official notice.

Especially after seeing Gou Ji’s photo. While it’s wrong to judge people by their appearance, the guy looked truly bizarre.

Furthermore, the expression in the photo—a hint of ferocity in his lecherous gaze—perfectly illustrated the idea that one’s face reflects their heart.

The only thing people didn’t understand was what grudge this man had against the Kong Family. Could he have been taking revenge on them for Qin Youyou?

Lin Feng went out and spoke with the police captain for a moment, then found Mo Yu and headed toward their guard post.

"Here, Mo Yu. Get a good sniff of this and find the man in this photo."

"Boss Lin, are you sure this dog can understand you?"

"WOOF WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF..."

The captain watched Mo Yu barking at him. "Is he cursing at me?"

Lin Feng suppressed a laugh. "No, no. He’s just correcting you."

The captain glanced at Mo Yu, feeling like the dog was giving him a funny look.

"Go find him."

Hearing Lin Feng’s command, Mo Yu stopped barking and bolted outside.

The curious captain hurried out after him, trying to keep up, but he was no match for Mo Yu’s speed.

"What a dog!"

"Boss Lin, how about we make a deal? Let us recruit this dog for the K-9 unit."

"Don’t even think about it. Bye."

Mo Yu’s sense of smell was incredibly keen. He had never used this particular Skill before, so this was the perfect chance to test it out.

As soon as Mo Yu activated his Skill, he quickly locked onto two locations. One was the spot outside the village entrance where Gou Ji had loitered the day before.

The other was Gou Ji himself, who had just reached a peak on North Mountain and was taking a rest.

He ran a circle outside the entrance, then decisively bolted back into the village and barked twice at Lin Feng.

"You found him? Let’s go. Take me to him."

Lin Feng wasn’t worried about any danger. As long as firearms weren’t involved, his inventory made him practically invincible.

If dropping an excavator on someone didn’t finish the job, he could always summon a dump truck to send them on a one-way trip to another dimension.

’He’s actually on North Mountain? When did he get in here?’

Although Gou Ji wasn’t all there in the head, he knew he would be caught if he went out now, so he hid himself in the mountains.

He planned to wait until Qin Youyou was about to get off work, then come down from the mountain and go straight to her.

Lying on a rock, he failed to notice a dog watching him from behind a tree.

After confirming the target, Mo Yu backed away and returned to Lin Feng.

"WOOF WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF..."

"Good boy, good boy. You’ll get a big bone to chew on tonight."

Lin Feng didn’t play the hero; he immediately called the captain.

"I found him. He’s on North Mountain. Get your guys over to the vegetable greenhouses. I’ll wait for you there."

"You found him? Hold on, I’m bringing my team over right now!"

The captain quickly assembled his officers and rushed toward the vegetable greenhouses.

When they arrived and he learned that Mo Yu was the one who had found the suspect, the captain’s gaze on the dog grew even more fervent.

Then, following Mo Yu’s lead, they ran up the mountain.
