My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 261 - 260: Winning People’s Hearts

"Gather people immediately!" Jin Dalong shouted loudly, "Follow me to capture someone!"

"Capture someone? Who?" the weasel-eyed man asked.

"Of course, the person who attacked me!" Jin Dalong said.

"The person who attacked you? Who is it?"

"The caretaker of the storeroom, Li Chaotian!"

"Li Chaotian? Impossible, right? Li Chaotian is very timid, even lending him some courage, he wouldn't dare to attack young master Jin."

"That's what the letter says." Jin Dalong threw the letter to the weasel-eyed man.

There was just one sentence written on the letter: Young master Jin, the person who attacked you is the storeroom caretaker Li Chaotian!

"To determine that it was Li Chaotian based on just one letter is somewhat reckless," the weasel-eyed man said. "It could very well be someone trying to frame Li Chaotian." Saying this, the weasel-eyed man added another sentence, "The origin of this letter is worth scrutinizing. Why didn't the person who wrote the letter dare to expose Li Chaotian in person?

Instead, they threw an anonymous letter into the yard..."

"You talk too much!" Jin Dalong glared, "Since someone wrote a letter to accuse Li Chaotian, it shows that Li Chaotian has major suspicions, and we must properly investigate! If it turns out he did it, I absolutely won't spare him; on the contrary, if it turns out he was wronged, I'll compensate him justly."

"But..." The weasel-eyed man still wanted to speak, but Jin Dalong didn't give him the opportunity.

"Gather people immediately! Go to the storeroom to find Li Chaotian!" Jin Dalong ordered, leaving no room for discussion.

"...Yes, I'll go gather people right now." The weasel-eyed man turned around and strode away.

...

After a short while.

Jin Dalong led a group of people and stormed into the storeroom with a fierce momentum.

"Li Chaotian! Come out to me! Li Chaotian! Come out!!!" Jin Dalong bellowed at the top of his lungs.

"What's happening? Who's making such a racket here!" Li Chaotian walked out from inside, "Young master Jin?" When he saw that the troublemaker was Jin Dalong, Li Chaotian immediately smiled and greeted him respectfully, "It's young master Jin! Welcome, welcome!"

"Li Chaotian!" Jin Dalong glared fiercely at Li Chaotian, "Do you realize your guilt?"

"Eh?" Li Chaotian was taken aback, "What guilt? What have I done?"

"Still playing dumb!" Jin Dalong snorted, "Your attack on me has been exposed!"

"What? I attacked you?" Li Chaotian was startled, his hands flailing, "I didn't attack you! Truly, I didn't attack you!"

"Search him!" Jin Dalong ordered with a sweep of his hand, "Don't overlook any place!"

"Hula la..."

A gang of people rushed up and began to search the storeroom, even Li Chaotian himself was subjected to a body search.

"What are you doing! Stop!" Li Chaotian's face turned green with anger, "I'm the caretaker of the storeroom, you have no right to search me! Young master Jin, you're going too far, I'll go to the Sect Leader tomorrow to lodge a complaint and have him deliver me justice!"

"Don't try to scare me with the Sect Leader," Jin Dalong sneered, "I'm not buying it!"

"Young master, I found a Storage Necklace on Li Chaotian."

"This is my necklace!"

Jin Dalong snatched the necklace, inspected it carefully for a moment, "Yes, this is my necklace! Damn it! The items in the Storage Necklace are all gone... Li Chaotian! Where have you hidden my things!"

"This necklace is yours..." Li Chaotian was dumbfounded, then a chill rose in his heart, "Young master Jin, you've misunderstood, I found this necklace..."

"Found it?" Jin Dalong laughed in extreme anger, "On the verge of death, yet still you have the nerve to talk tough! Come on, beat him ruthlessly!"

"Bang bang bang..."

"Thump thump thump..."

"Clang clang clang..."

A group of people began hitting and kicking Li Chaotian with no restraint. In no time, Li Chaotian had been beaten into a pig's head.

"I'm telling the truth! I found the necklace! Found it!" Li Chaotian cried out, "Young master Jin, you must believe me, I really didn't deceive you."

"Still talking tough!" Jin Dalong charged up, kicking Li Chaotian twice harshly: "I'll kick you for talking tough! I'll kick you for not telling the truth! I'll kick you for attacking me!" With every curse, he kicked, unleashing all his strength to beat Li Chaotian: "If you're sensible, hand over everything quickly! I might leave you a whole corpse!"

"How can you not believe me, young master," Li Chaotian cried, snot and tears streaming, "You are Elder Jin's son, a person of noble status. Even lending me several guts, I wouldn't dare to attack you. Besides, we have no grudges; why would I attack you?"

"Still arguing!"

"I'm telling the whole truth! There's been a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding your mother! Beat him! Beat him to death!"

"Patter patter..."

"Clatter clatter..."

"Ah..."

The sound of the beating, the cries of agony, the furious cursing—they all merged into one.

"It really wasn't me... Not me... Ah..." Moments later, Li Chaotian lay on the ground, bloodied, his breath faint, his limbs broken, a piece of his scalp missing, both eyes swollen shut, nasal bones fractured, his mouth swollen, and his clothes torn to shreds; there wasn't a single spot on his body left unscathed.

To describe it in one word, it would be "tragic!"

In two words, "very tragic!"

Three words to describe it, "super tragic!"

Four words... "Tragic to the extreme!"

The entrance was swarmed with people, mostly disciples from the storeroom department. Gao Fei stood among the crowd, watching Li Chaotian get brutally beaten, feeling a surge of pleasure in his heart.

"Speak! Where did you hide my stuff!" Jin Dalong strode over, stepped on Li Chaotian's face, and pressed down hard, "Speak up!"

"It wasn't me..." Li Chaotian said weakly, "I found the necklace..."

"Bang!"

Jin Dalong kicked Li Chaotian's face viciously.

"Ah..." Li Chaotian's body shuddered and then he passed out.

"Playing dead?!" Jin Dalong kicked Li Chaotian several more times, "Play! Keep playing! I want to see how long you can keep this up!" No matter how Jin Dalong kicked, beat, or cursed, Li Chaotian did not react.

"Young Master Jin, stop beating him." A man held Jin Dalong back, "If you keep going, he's really going to die."

"He deserves to die!" Jin Dalong snorted.

"Li Chaotian's death is not a pity, but the things young master lost... will be impossible to recover," the man said softly.

"Then what do you suggest?" Jin Dalong asked angrily, for the things he lost were very valuable and had to be retrieved.

"Lock Li Chaotian up and interrogate him slowly," the man suggested.

"Fine, this bastard is your responsibility now. I don't care how you do it, but make sure you get him to talk!" Jin Dalong commanded.

"Young Master Jin, rest assured, I will handle it," the man promised, patting his chest.

And so, Li Chaotian, who had fallen unconscious, was carried away, and the fate that awaited him... was going to be miserable.

...

Gao Fei returned to his quarters and woke up Zhu Xiaoliang, who was deep in sleep, "I have some great news for you; you'll be thrilled to hear it."

"What news?" Zhu Xiaoliang yawned, "Can't it wait until tomorrow? I'm so sleepy right now."

"Li Chaotian got beaten up."

"Eh? Who got beaten?"

"Li Chaotian!"

"What happened!" Zhu Xiaoliang immediately became alert, grabbed Gao Fei's arm, and asked eagerly.

"It's Elder Jin's son..." Gao Fei briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Karma! It's truly karma!" Zhu Xiaoliang cheered loudly, "That's fantastic! So satisfying! Li Chaotian, that old scoundrel, deserves no good end after all the bad things he's done... Eh? Wait a minute." Zhu Xiaoliang came back to his senses with confusion in his eyes, "As far as I know, Li Chaotian is a cowardly scoundrel who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

He wouldn't have the guts to attack Elder Jin's son... "

"He probably acted rashly in a drunken moment," Gao Fei said casually.

"Drunk?" Zhu Xiaoliang's mouth twitched, "You really can find excuses."

"Alright, don't overthink it," Gao Fei patted Zhu Xiaoliang's shoulder, "Get some sleep. We have to work tomorrow."

"How can I sleep?" Zhu Xiaoliang said, "I'm too excited, way too excited!"

"You get excited on your own; I'm going to sleep." Gao Fei turned around, lay on the bed, pulled the covers over himself, closed his eyes, and soon began to snore loudly.

...

In the dim and damp dungeon.

Li Chaotian lay on the ground like a dead dog, his face pale, his eyes lifeless, and he mumbled to himself, "How could things have come to this... I really didn't attack Jin Dalong... The necklace was something I found... I really did find it... Why won't anyone believe me... "

"The necklace... All the problems started with that necklace."

"If only I hadn't picked up the necklace and claimed it as my own, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"All caused by greed."

"What should I do? I can't just wait here to die, can I?"

"Oh Heaven, please open your eyes, let Jin Dalong find the real culprit and clear my name, Heaven, I beseech you!"

Li Chaotian was truly out of options now and could only place his hopes on Heaven.

...

After Li Chaotian was taken away, the storeroom department had a new manager assigned. The newly appointed manager, Wu Dongzhu, was an elderly man who was fairly kind and polite to his subordinates, a vast improvement over Li Chaotian.

On his first day in office, Wu Dongzhu did everyone a good turn!

What kind of good turn? Of course, it was improving the meals!

Vegetarian dishes were replaced with meat dishes, and there was soup every evening, raising the meal standards by a notch compared to before.

This action received unanimous praise from everyone.

Improving meals was just the first step, and soon after, he also improved the accommodation situation; the dilapidated houses were renovated, bedding was completely replaced, and every now and then, Wu Dongzhu would hold meetings to chat informally with everyone, ostensibly to "foster good relations."

It had to be said that Wu Dongzhu was very good at winning people's hearts.

If Li Chaotian had Wu Dongzhu's methods, he wouldn't have been ousted.
