Chapter 2275: A Different Solution

~7 min read 1,360 words

Jiang Mobai's brows danced with joy.

Su Kexuan also felt this was good news.

Before long, a young man was shoved over.

The young man was bruised and battered, his arms tied behind his back, and the expression on his face was extremely terrified.

Jiang Mobai took a look and frowned, saying, "Aren't you the maintenance worker here?"

"Yes, I don't know why I was tied up either, Mr. Jiang, please talk to them and let me go!"

Letting him go was impossible.

Jiang Mobai looked at the investigators.

The other party spoke up to explain: "We saw from the surveillance that this person was acting suspiciously, digging a hole and burying something. And in the hole he dug, we found remnants of explosives!"

Jiang Mobai was furious upon hearing this; he raised his foot and kicked him hard, berating him: "You take my money and then try to sabotage me? Do you really think I, Jiang Mobai, am a pushover!"

The worker was kicked in the chest, feeling a burning, stinging pain.

After catching his breath for a long time, he said tremblingly: "Mr. Jiang, I really don't know anything! You can't just say I'm the culprit because I happened to be squatting there, bored, digging a hole; that's not fair!"

When this person spoke, his expression was terrified.

Yet his eyeballs were darting around.

Seeing Su Kexuan standing by Jiang Mobai's side, he pleaded in her direction: "Miss Su, help me! These people are too terrifying, they want to take my life!"

The worker felt that Su Kexuan was a woman after all, and therefore prone to being soft-hearted.

By begging her for mercy, there was a high possibility he would be rescued.

However...

Su Kexuan was not a soft-hearted person.

She did not speak rashly either, but instead said to Jiang Mobai: "Go check if this person has recently purchased any chemical supplies, the kind that can be used to make bombs."

"Alright."

Jiang Mobai made a phone call to make arrangements.

While Jiang Mobai was on the phone, Su Kexuan silently observed the worker.

She discovered that although the worker was flustered, he was not worried.

From this, it could be inferred that this person did not know how to assemble a bomb, but rather... someone had handed the bomb directly to him.

Su Kexuan had guessed correctly.

The worker knew that Jiang Mobai wouldn't be able to find anything even if he checked, so he began to cry out miserably: "You can't just talk nonsense because you have power and influence! You say I planted the explosives, but where is the evidence!?"

After Jiang Mobai finished his call, he kept staring at his phone.

Upon receiving a message, he sneered.

Then, he grabbed the worker by the collar, his voice cold and chilling: "The evidence is the ten million that suddenly appeared in your bank account!"

"I..."

"Don't you dare say this money is relocation compensation for your family home; the one who transferred the money to you is a foreign account!"

The worker hadn't expected Jiang Mobai to be able to check his account so quickly, and he panicked.

He didn't know how to respond, so he could only repeat over and over: "I was framed, I really was framed!"

"Whether you were framed or not, a beating will tell!"

The worker's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He comforted himself that Jiang Mobai looked like a decent person and shouldn't do something so brutal.

But...

The cold, sinister smile on Jiang Mobai's face made the worker lose his confidence.

He dared not gamble.

He had no choice but to turn his head and look at Su Kexuan as if seeking help, hoping she would intervene.

But how could Su Kexuan save him?

It was already good enough that she wasn't urging Jiang Mobai to start sooner!

Just then, someone hurried over.

The person was also a member of the motorcade.

When he walked up to Jiang Mobai, he reported respectfully: "Someone is about to kick the bucket!"

"About to kick the bucket? You haven't been at it for long, how is someone already about to die?"

"Sigh, it's just that the guy can't take a beating!"

"Since that one can't take a beating, I'll find you one who can; this one has a very stiff mouth, treat him well in a bit!"

The team member followed the direction Jiang Mobai was looking and discovered the dazed worker.

Immediately, the team member responded with excitement: "Got it, just watch!"

The worker was scared silly.

He asked with a deathly pale face: "What, what are you going to do?"

"Besides you, we found another suspect. Unfortunately, that person was very uncooperative, so we had to beat him until he gave in."

The worker knew that today's incident was his own doing alone.

The person Jiang Mobai mentioned was just a poor scapegoat.

But even such a poor scapegoat was being taught a harsh lesson.

Then, as the real culprit...

The worker's face turned even paler.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai let out a cold snort, then ordered someone to bring that scapegoat over.

Before long, several members of the motorcade dragged a man with a limp body over.

The man was completely unconscious.

A great deal of blood was flowing from beneath him.

Along the path he had been dragged, a long trail of blood was left behind.

Upon seeing this, the worker was nearly scared to death!

And that man covered in blood was tossed right in front of the worker!

"Ugh... help me..."

The blood-stained man regained consciousness for a brief moment.

He widened his eyes, looked at the worker, and even reached out a hand toward him.

But the worker could barely look after himself; how could he save anyone?

Immediately, the worker screamed and retreated, his whole body trembling.

But Jiang Mobai would not allow him to retreat; he grabbed the man by the collar and shoved him right in front of the blood-covered man.

Then, he parted his lips and said, "Take a good look. This is the consequence of not being obedient!"

The worker was going crazy; he cried out, "Mr. Jiang, please let me go. I really don't know anything!"

"You don't know? It seems you still haven't learned your lesson. Next, you'll just have to be properly disciplined by a few of my brothers!"

"No, don't!"

"That's not up to you!"

As Jiang Mobai spoke, he made a gesture.

Two young men immediately came over to drag the worker away.

The moment they touched his body, the worker screamed, "Don't touch me! I don't want to die! I—I'll tell you everything!!"

Finally hearing the words he wanted to hear, Jiang Mobai lightly raised an eyebrow.

Afterward, he looked at Su Kexuan, seemingly with the intent of seeking credit.

When Su Kexuan first saw that "blood-covered man," she was startled.

But when she noticed the corner of the man's mouth curling up beneath the filthy blood, she stopped worrying.

It occurred to her that this was a setup by Jiang Mobai.

The goal was to break the worker's psychological defenses and make him obediently tell the truth.

It had to be said that when it came to using schemes, especially crooked ones, Jiang Mobai always grasped the essentials.

Su Kexuan could not help but admire him.

The subsequent progress of events went much more smoothly.

Jiang Mobai obtained from the worker the evidence of his transaction with others.

Afterward, he handed this evidence to Xie Wanyi, asking him to use it to find the true mastermind behind the scenes.

After an investigation by Xie Wanyi, there was soon a result: "The mastermind who bribed the worker is Chu Tiankuo's assistant."

Jiang Mobai did not feel surprised by this result.

Now that he had the evidence, he could go settle the score with Chu Tiankuo!

Xie Wanyi did not know Jiang Mobai's intentions.

He simply asked, based on Jiang Mobai's usual style of doing things, "Do you intend to call the police and have him arrested?"

"No, I do not intend to hand this matter over to the police to handle."
