Chapter 297 -298: Tell He Zinan

Getting angry already?

Li Yang shook his head. *This villain has no patience at all. Even I’m not getting worked up yet.*

Li Yang said slowly, “I’m the one asking the questions now.”

Mo Jiang’s expression darkened. “Kid, you’d better think carefully…”

“I’ll ask you one last time,” Li Yang said, cutting off his threat. “Otherwise, you might regret it later.”

“Insolent!” Mo Jiang roared. “If you don’t know what’s good for you, then don’t blame me…”

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He realized something was wrong.

He immediately staggered back a few steps, clutching his neck. He looked like he was in extreme discomfort.

Li Yang smiled coldly. “From the moment you got out of the car, I knew you were using poison. I just didn’t expose you. I let you do it, but I redirected all the poisonous gas back onto you. Of course, you had no idea.”

If Li Yang had said this a few minutes earlier, Mo Jiang would never have believed him. But now, he had no choice but to believe it, because he was already poisoned.

“You didn’t expect that, did you?” Li Yang chuckled. “Now, you can answer the question I asked earlier.”

“You…” Mo Jiang forced out a single word before frantically fumbling in his clothes for the antidote.

But just as he got his hands on it, Li Yang snatched it away.

“Now, you’ll have to give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise…” Li Yang said calmly, looking at the antidote in his hand, “you can just wait to die from the poison.”

“Give it to me…” Mo Jiang, who had arrived full of confidence, never expected to be cornered by Li Yang like this. His face was a mask of panic. “Give it to me, quickly…”

As he spoke, he desperately reached his hands toward Li Yang, as if to grab the antidote back.

But Li Yang just stood there, watching him coldly.

“I wasn’t the one who administered the poison! It was my master!” Mo Jiang, left with no other choice, blurted out. “And I didn’t want to come here today! My master sent me! I have no personal grudge against you! Now give me the antidote!”

“Why did you poison her?”

He Zinan had helped him out a few times, and Li Yang had a good impression of her, so he asked on her behalf.

“It… it was He Tianba’s rival. They hired us to poison her to distract him.”

Li Yang understood.

It was a truly cunning move. To distract He Tianba, his rivals had used a vicious tactic, poisoning He Zinan with something that wouldn’t kill her but would certainly make her suffer.

If it hadn’t been for him, He Zinan would probably still be suffering a fate worse than death.

“I forgot to mention something. I was the one who cured Miss He’s poison. You should know that, right?” Li Yang watched him.

Mo Jiang stared at Li Yang, his eyes filled with venom.

“I want to know who your insider is,” Li Yang asked suddenly.

Mo Jiang froze, looking at Li Yang in surprise.

“If you don’t talk, I’ll destroy the antidote,” Li Yang said lightly. “Once it’s gone, it’s over for you. Think carefully.”

“It’s Huang Ji…” Mo Jiang, terrified to his core, blurted out to Li Yang. “It’s really him! I gave him the poison, and he administered it to He Tianba!”

Li Yang grunted in acknowledgment, picturing the young man.

*I knew you didn’t look like a good person. You really didn’t disappoint.*

“Alright, I understand,” Li Yang said faintly. “You can take your medicine now.”

Li Yang tossed the antidote back to Mo Jiang.

Mo Jiang scrambled to open it and swallow a pill.

After taking the antidote, Mo Jiang finally felt much better. He glared at Li Yang, grinding his teeth.

“Don’t ever come to our village again.” Li Yang felt a flicker of killing intent but didn’t want to kill someone in his own village. “Now, get the hell out of here, or I’ll make you regret it.”

Mo Jiang knew he was no match for Li Yang. With a cold snort, he swallowed the bitter pill of today’s defeat and drove away.

Li Yang immediately called He Zinan.

“Miss He, I have a few things to tell you. You’ll need to sort this out.”

“First, the man named Huang Ji is an mole for your rival. He’s the one who poisoned your father.”

“Second, Mo Jiang is the one who gave Huang Ji the poison, and he also poisoned you. He just came here looking for me, trying to get my detoxification method. I beat him and sent him running, and he’s on his way back now. I’m guessing Huang Ji is the one who told him where to find me.”

“Third, I don’t want to be involved in this mess, so I need you to clean up the loose ends.”

Li Yang stated the facts plainly.

On the other end of the line, He Zinan was stunned for a moment, but she recovered quickly. “Okay, I understand everything you’ve said. I’ll take care of it right away.”

After she said that, she hung up.

Li Yang put his phone away. *This has nothing to do with me. Don’t come looking for me over this. I just want to be a simple farmer.*

Meanwhile, Mo Jiang was already driving back and calling Huang Ji. “Huang! That guy is too powerful! You’ve been exposed! Run!”
