Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mysterious Man Behind the Scenes
"The fact that my sister reported you has nothing to do with me!"
Yang Chunguang shrank back, his voice trembling, "If you hit her, you can't hit me anymore..."
Jin Youcai sneered, and just as he raised his fist, Yang Chunguang rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud—pretending to faint.
"Trying to play these tricks on me?"
Jin Youcai had no intention of letting him off the hook. He grabbed the man's collar and dragged him up from the ground like a dead dog, saying viciously, "Your sister reported me for stealing steel from the factory, causing me to go to jail. Your whole family will never have an easy time!"
"You're so clever! Calm down!" Mother Yang wrung her hands anxiously, saying urgently, "How could Chunyan have the guts? Even if she's stupid, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing. There might be some misunderstanding here."
Jin Youcai ignored Yang's mother's words, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Yang Chunguang: "You raped a female educated youth, and fearing exposure, you pushed her into the river to drown her, pretending it was an accident..." He suddenly raised his voice and continued, "I'm going to take this to the police station and make sure they get to the bottom of it!"
Yang Chunguang, who had been pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, a murderous glint flashing in them. If Chunyan hadn't been reluctant to let him go, he would have killed this "insider" long ago.
It's hateful that I was too soft-hearted and left such a huge mess for him.
However… he quickly calmed down. Police investigations rely on evidence; as long as he stubbornly denies it, who can do anything to him?
Wang Shunzheng's expression changed drastically. Rape? Murder? This case was no small matter! He shouted sternly, "Cuff these two and take them back to the station for interrogation!"
Lin Sanlang leaned close to Lin Baozhu's ear and whispered, "Jin Youcai stole steel from the factory and resold it. The police have been watching him for a while. When we went to find Team Leader Wang, he had just been arrested, but Team Leader Wang used some tricks to get him to implicate the Yang family."
He glanced at the ashen-faced Yang family members and sneered, "At first, Jin Youcai didn't believe Yang Chunyan would betray him. But after Team Leader Wang produced the 'evidence,' this madman got a shock and blurted out all the despicable things Yang Chunguang's family had done!"
As they were talking, a scream suddenly erupted from the crowd—
"Ouch! Yang Chunyan's pants are covered in blood!"
The captain's wife slapped her thigh: "She's had a miscarriage!"
Wang Shunzheng looked at the unconscious Yang Chunyan, then turned to glare at Jin Youcai: "Assaulting a witness and pointing out that the other party's injuries are serious is an even more serious crime!"
"Either way, I'm going to get shot."
Jin Youcai laughed maniacally, a gleeful smile flashing across his face as he looked at the expressions of the Yang family members: "Drag their whole family down with me, it's worth dying for!"
"Captain, quickly send a car to take her to the hospital!"
Let's hope it doesn't actually lead to someone's death, or his handwriting will be ruined from writing a self-criticism!
Wang Shunzheng, his face dark, ordered: "Everyone else, take the suspect back for questioning!"
Taking the opportunity, Lin Erlang slipped a stack of letters to Wang Shunzheng: "Correspondence between the Yang family and outsiders."
Seeing that the other party was about to ask, he preemptively said, "The content is absolutely true, but I cannot disclose the source."
The farce finally came to an end. Lin Baozhu knew perfectly well what was going on—Jin Youcai had stolen state property, a serious offense that would land him in the line of duty; if Yang Chunguang was guilty of murder, he wouldn't escape the fate of being executed; and as for Yang Chunyan? Adultery, miscarriage, and now her reputation was ruined… she was doomed for life. At least her third brother was safe!
Yes! She's very satisfied with today's result.
In the dead of night, Lin Erlang stared at the two letters spread out on the table, his knuckles turning white from gripping them so tightly.
The letter clearly stated that the other party not only wanted the younger sister's identity jade pendant, but also wanted to trap her in this mountain valley forever!
"After hiding for so many years, it was still found?..."
His eyes flashed with a chilling light.
However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: if those people knew his younger sister was at his house, why did they still want the jade pendant? Did that jade pendant hold some secret? Or was someone trying to use his younger sister's jade pendant to impersonate her?
"If we get rid of Yang Chunguang today, Zhang Chunguang and Li Chunguang will pop up tomorrow..."
Lin Erlang took a deep breath and locked the letter in the drawer.
Fortunately, the young woman is no longer a pushover—she has a police identity, is a machine tool researcher, and once her results are reported, the higher-ups will definitely pay extra attention to her. At that time, those people who want to take action will have to think twice before they do so!
It's late at night!
Inside the room, Lin Baozhu was butchering a pig when she suddenly heard a click from the window. She quickly changed out of her blood-stained clothes, and as soon as she opened the door, a dark figure dragged her inside—
"Qin Haifeng?"
She lowered her voice and said, "You've got some nerve, climbing over the wall in the middle of the night—"
"Something big has happened!"
The man, breathing rapidly, said, "Today I participated in the interrogation of Yang Chunguang..."

The next morning, Lin Baozhu went straight to the machinery factory.
The factory manager took the list she handed him, his eyelids twitching—ductile iron, 42CrMo alloy steel, nitrided steel 38CrMoAl... which one wasn't a scarce commodity?
"Factory Manager."
Lin Baozhu tapped the number on the paper with her fingertip and chuckled, "This material has strong fatigue resistance, but its coefficient of thermal deformation is relatively high. It requires a special process. However, I just looked around, and our factory doesn't have this rare material..."
The factory manager coughed lightly, folded the list carefully and put it in his pocket, then coughed again: "I'll contact the city steel plant right away!" The factory manager wiped his sweat and ran out, then suddenly turned back, "Oh right, your second brother and sister-in-law have been transferred here as assistants, and a few technicians have gone to transport the lathes, they'll be towed to the workshop in a bit."
"Okay, I'll be right there..."
