Chapter 764: Chapter 764

After Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi showed Gao Jie the confession of the murderer, along with the testimonies of Fourth Brother Zhao and Liu Qingxia, Gao Jie was utterly stunned.

"Impossible! What are these bastards trying to pull?"

"I need to make a call."

Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi didn’t stop him, giving Gao Jie some semblance of respect.

Ironically, Gao Jie made several calls, but none of them were answered.

At that moment, Gao Jie realized he had been played. Now, he was going to pay the price for his actions.

Liang Hongwei also stepped forward to meet Gao Jie again. "Because of your mistakes, the crime rate in this city has skyrocketed."

"Economically, there has been a direct loss of billions. You can’t escape responsibility for this."

"Bastards, you’re all bastards! It’s not me! It’s them! They’re the ones who made me do this!"

Gao Jie was completely falling apart. He had initially arrived with joy to take office, but now he had become the biggest joke.

Unfortunately, no one listened to Gao Jie’s shouting. He was directly thrown into a small dark room.

An hour later, Guo Qiyu entered with Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, you can go in and have a chat with him. The surveillance cameras have been turned off."

Zhang Yang was a little surprised. Why had Guo Qiyu suddenly had a change of heart? It didn’t seem necessary for him to go this far for Zhang Yang.

But since he was already there, Zhang Yang naturally wasn’t going to let Gao Jie off the hook.

He had suffered for twelve long hours. If it were someone else, they’d be dead or hanging on by a thread.

"Alright, thank you, President Guo." Zhang Yang politely remarked.

Guo Qiyu chuckled and said, "Zhang Yang, I was confused before. From now on, just call me Brother Guo. After all, you were the one who cured my wife’s illness. My useless brother caused some misunderstandings between us."

"But don’t worry, my brother has already been sent overseas. He won’t trouble you again in the future."

Faced with Guo Qiyu’s sudden friendliness, Zhang Yang felt a twinge of caution.

He had seen through Guo Qiyu long ago—arrogance was embedded in his bones. He wasn’t someone worth forming a close relationship with.

But who wouldn’t pretend on the surface? Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Brother Guo, you’re too kind. I still have to thank Sister-in-law for helping me this time."

On the way there, Guo Qiyu had already informed Zhang Yang that Xu Mengyan and Jiang Meiren had teamed up to shut down all the city’s entertainment venues for him.

Xu Mengyan and Jiang Meiren had genuinely stepped in to help him, but it was clear Guo Qiyu was trying to take credit for it.

Zhang Yang, though puzzled, still gave Guo Qiyu face.

He decided that later he’d properly thank Sister-in-law Xu Mengyan as a token of his gratitude, so calling him Brother Guo wasn’t for nothing.

After exchanging some pleasantries with Guo Qiyu, Zhang Yang entered the small dark room.

When Gao Jie raised his head and saw Zhang Yang, his expression immediately turned grim.

"What are you doing here? What right do you have to come in?"

Zhang Yang chuckled mischievously and walked closer. Gao Jie, having witnessed Zhang Yang’s terrifying methods, instinctively backed into a corner.

"I’m warning you—don’t do anything reckless! If you do, it’s against the law!"

Zhang Yang pulled out a silver needle. "Relax. I won’t act recklessly. I have plenty of ways to torment people without leaving a trace, and they’re much more refined than yours."

"Zhang Yang, calm down. I was wrong. Let’s talk this out."

Gao Jie knew Zhang Yang wouldn’t blatantly show up here unless he had nothing to fear.

"Already chickened out? Then tell me—who ordered you to target me?"

Zhang Yang had asked both Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi this question before, but Gao Jie hadn’t dared reveal anything.

"There’s no one! It was all my idea. I acted on my own!"

Zhang Yang sneered coldly, "Do you think I’ll believe that?"

Without further ado, Zhang Yang restrained Gao Jie and inserted the silver needle into several specific acupuncture points.

In an instant, Gao Jie felt an unbearable itch all over his body, as though countless ants were crawling on him.

"What did you do to me? Fix this now!"

"Zhang Yang, you bastard!" Gao Jie scratched furiously at his face and hands, but when he couldn’t bear it anymore, he began clawing at his entire body.

The more it hurt, the itchier it became. The itchier it was, the more he felt compelled to scratch.

Zhang Yang smirked. "I’m done asking. You can just keep scratching away. Even a doctor wouldn’t be able to figure out what’s wrong with you."

"Wait, don’t go! I’ll talk! Just let me go!"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "That won’t be necessary. I’ll find out eventually. Enjoy yourself. Goodbye."

With that, Zhang Yang left without hesitation.

Guo Qiyu hadn’t expected Zhang Yang to come out so quickly. "All done? No rush."

Thinking it would have been too short a time to accomplish anything, Guo Qiyu kindly reminded Zhang Yang that he could stay and let out more steam.

Zhang Yang smiled. "It’s fine. Those who commit too many wrongdoings will eventually bring about their own destruction. He’s already received his rightful punishment."

"Brother Guo, I have some things to take care of, so I’ll be heading out first."

Guo Qiyu didn’t think much of it, smiling as he agreed. "Alright. Your Sister-in-law said to remind you to come over for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" Zhang Yang didn’t refuse. He did indeed want to thank Xu Caimei properly and figured Jiang Meiren would be there too.

After Zhang Yang left, Guo Qiyu immediately entered the small dark room to check on Gao Jie’s condition.

Upon entering, he was shocked to see that, in such a short time, Gao Jie’s face had been clawed into a bloody mess.

"Doctor, call a doctor! It’s so itchy—I’m dying! Please, save me..."

Gao Jie pleaded desperately while still scratching himself. Even his clothes had been torn apart.

Guo Qiyu couldn’t help but ask, "What did he do to you?"

"I don’t know! He just pricked me with a needle! Please, help me..."

Not daring to waste any time, Guo Qiyu immediately summoned a doctor and restrained Gao Jie’s hands.

Gao Jie was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but the physicians were baffled. They had never encountered such symptoms before.

Despite conducting a series of tests, they couldn’t find anything wrong with him.

This left both Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi thoroughly shaken.

Xu Guangzhi asked Guo Qiyu, "Did Zhang Yang really just prick him with one needle?"

Guo Qiyu nodded gravely. "Yes, Zhang Yang came out very quickly. It was just two minutes, at most."

"That’s terrifying. Anyone thinking of crossing Zhang Yang better think twice from now on."

Guo Qiyu nodded in solemn agreement, a sense of dread running down his spine. If Zhang Yang had used this method on his brother earlier, it would have been devastating.

"So, what now?" Xu Guangzhi asked.

Guo Qiyu’s gaze hardened. "His condition is his own problem. It has nothing to do with us. There’s no need for us to concern ourselves with it."

Xu Guangzhi chuckled. "Fair enough. Gao Jie really brought this upon himself."

In the end, the doctors could only conclude that Gao Jie was suffering from a psychological issue.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had just left the Harmonious Society Management Association and was greeted by Tang Tiantian and Xu Caimei waiting anxiously outside.

"Zhang Yang, I’m so glad you’re okay!" Tang Tiantian cried out in relief as she hugged him tightly.
