Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 43 This person is not simple.

Chen Mo realized at that moment that things had gotten out of hand.

The fierce look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of an innocent victim, as he hurriedly tried to explain himself.

"No, Ms. An, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to discuss work with you. You're overreacting..."

"I bother!"

An Min was furious and forgot all about being polite: "Who said discussing work with you involves grabbing someone's wrist? Who said discussing work with you involves clinging to someone?"

“Zhao Di’s mother, and all the neighbors! You all saw it! He started it!”

Zhao Di's eyes darted around, glancing at the angry An Min and then at the aggrieved Chen Mo.

However, his resentment towards Anmin and his desire to watch the drama unfold prevailed.

Instead of testifying for Anmin, she raised her voice in an ambiguous and suggestive tone.

"Oh dear! This is really... Teacher An, Technician Chen was just trying to help, why don't you talk things out properly! This shoving and pulling... it'll sound terrible if word gets out! Commander Liang is still at home!"

She deliberately emphasized the words "Commander Liang is at home," and glanced at An Min's courtyard gate, making a suggestive gesture.

These words, seemingly meant to mediate, actually added fuel to the fire, directly implying An Min's indecent behavior.

He's getting into a physical altercation with people at the entrance of the residential compound; what kind of good person could he be?

The neighbors looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with the excitement of watching a show unfold.

Life in the family compound is dull and boring; what everyone loves to hear most now is gossip.

With such a lively scene, who wouldn't want to watch the drama unfold?

In the midst of this chaos, the courtyard gate of Anmin's house, which had been slightly ajar, was suddenly pushed open.

Liang Yi's tall figure appeared at the doorway, his face ashen, his eyes cold and sharp as ice blades, and he exuded a terrifyingly low pressure.

His eyes, as cold as stars, were fixed on Chen Mo.

A terrifying aura, as if warning strangers to stay away, instantly enveloped the entire intersection.

The buzzing discussions that had been going on just moments before have completely stopped.

Zhao Di's mother trembled in fright, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground, scattering the potatoes and carrots she had just taken from someone else's house all over the ground.

She shrank her neck, wishing she could disappear on the spot.

Other neighbors who had been peeking around quickly withdrew their heads and dared not utter a sound.

Liang Yi's gaze swept lightly over Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt uncomfortable all over, and his calves started to cramp.

Liang Yi's eyes are terrifying!

They could practically tear him apart alive.

To confront him head-on? That's suicide!

His mind worked incredibly fast, and he instantly changed his strategy.

The only way now is to feign weakness and act aggrieved, and clear myself of any wrongdoing.

Just as Liang Yi made a slight movement and was about to walk over, Chen Mo reacted.

He suddenly took a step back, not to attack, but to defend, even staggering slightly.

Chen Mo clutched his wrist, which An Min had just flung away.

The feigned gentleness vanished from his face instantly, replaced by a somewhat frightened expression.

His face was pale, and his lips were trembling slightly.

Clearly, Chen Mo acted as if he was very afraid of Liang Yi.

"Commander Liang! Please don't misunderstand! Please don't do anything!"

Chen Mo's voice rose, trembling with a startled tone.

It sounds urgent and panicked, even a bit pitiful.

"It's my fault! It's all my fault! Teacher An... she was right to scold me!"

He changed the subject so quickly.

He admitted his mistake directly, but the key point came later. Chen Mo's tone was somewhat urgent, as if he was eager to explain clearly, or as if he was intimidated by Liang Yi's imposing manner and became incoherent.

"It was me... I was too anxious, Teacher An, Commander Liang, please let me explain."

“I really came for the land in Dongxiang Village, but Teacher An… she turned around and was about to leave without giving me any leeway. I… in my haste, all I could think about was getting her to listen to me first.”

"I'm afraid that if Teacher An leaves, the data won't match up tomorrow, and that will delay important matters!"

He tried to make his voice sound full of responsibility and regret: "I...I really didn't think about anything else! I just really wanted to do my job well! I was so afraid of delaying the farming season! Teacher An is so skilled, I...I just wanted to grab her and ask her for clarification as soon as possible!"

He specifically emphasized "holding her back" rather than "grabbing her wrist," and stressed his seemingly innocent motives.

But he didn't mention a word about the threats he had just made to Anmin.

"It's understandable that Teacher An reacted strongly. It's my fault. I didn't pay attention to my words and was too rash! I startled Teacher An and caused you, Commander Liang, to misunderstand. I deserve to die! I'm a bastard!"

As Chen Mo spoke, he bowed slightly, his pale face and trembling voice adding to the effect.

He was exactly the kind of honest technician who made an unintentional mistake because he was too engrossed in his work and acted rashly.

He even glanced at the dumbfounded Zhao Di Niang beside him with a wronged expression.

An Min frowned slightly as she looked at Chen Mo.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Mo is really good at acting.

You can tell just by looking at the change in everyone's attitude towards him.

Liang Yi didn't say much, he just reached out and pulled An Min's hand.

"Since Technician Chen has apologized, let's just let this matter go."

Hearing Liang Yi say this, An Min was somewhat surprised, but Liang Yi was clearly not the kind of person who would be wronged without understanding why.

Anmin glanced at him and ultimately said nothing.

Chen Mo lowered his head and smiled. He knew that these foolish people would believe what he said.

Even Liang Yi believed him, so it seems he wasn't that smart after all.

Liang Yi ignored Chen Mo and pulled An Min into the courtyard.

"Liang Yi, you don't actually believe Chen Mo's nonsense, do you?"

The courtyard gate closed behind him, and Liang Yi released An Min's hand.

“His words were full of holes; anyone could tell something was amiss.”

An Min looked up, the taut lines of his jaw indicating that his anger had not subsided.

"Then why did you..."

"He's using subtle tactics. If we take a hard line, it will only give him an opportunity to make trouble."

Liang Yi's smile hadn't faded, but now it revealed a hint of sarcasm.

Do you think I'm that stupid?

Upon hearing this, An Min understood what Liang Yi meant.

Liang Yi wasn't stupid. The most likely reason he did this was because he knew that if he continued to entangle himself with the matter, something bad would definitely happen.

It is highly likely that Chen Mo will take the initiative and turn the tables.

At that time, the one being blamed will still be Anmin.

Since that's the case, Liang Yi simply decided not to get entangled with him any further.

He will find a way to deal with Chen Mo when the time is right.

"To destroy someone, first make them mad?"

An Min uttered a sentence calmly, and Liang Yi nodded.

The couple smiled at each other. No wonder the people in the camp said that Commander Liang was cunning and shrewd.

That old fox must have read all of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

At this moment, outside the family compound, a ragged man looked at the small courtyard with a vicious glint in his eyes.

"Anmin! I will absolutely, absolutely not let you get away with this!"
