Novel Full Chapter 226 - 226 226 The Pei Family Strikes Against Qingwu
Chapter 226: Chapter 226 The Pei Family Strikes Against Qingwu? Leave No One Alive! Chapter 226: Chapter 226 The Pei Family Strikes Against Qingwu? Leave No One Alive! The store owner glanced briefly at the clothes on Qingwu and Su Mi, immediately sensing they were definitely wealthy people!
Wealthy people were good, especially rich young ladies, the easiest to deceive. They usually believed anything you told them.
“What kind of jade are you looking for, ladies? Our shop only has premium goods!”
The store owner wore a fierce expression, with a smile full of greed.
Qingwu’s eyes fell on the owner’s hand.
This wasn’t the hand of someone who had been involved in the underworld, nor did this owner seem adept at cutting jade.
He was most likely hired from outside for the specific purpose of deceiving outsiders.
The owner noticed their silence and feared letting two potential patrons escape.
“Our shop only carries goods you won’t find anywhere else. Take this bracelet, for example; it’s top-quality glass species!”
Qingwu looked at the injected bracelet in the owner’s hand. “Made from plastic?”
The owner’s hand visibly shook!
How did this girl figure it out?
He forced a smile, maintaining his composure. “So the young lady is an expert. How about this bracelet? This one’s genuine glass species!”
Qingwu raised an eyebrow slightly. “Made from glass?”
The owner’s smile began to falter.
The products he presented were among the better imitations; how could this girl spot them at a glance?
Whenever wealthy, well-dressed young ladies came to buy jade, they always used injected or glass bracelets to handle them…
It seemed they had run into someone knowledgeable!
The owner observed the change in Qingwu’s expression.
This young girl appeared under twenty; could it be that her family often bought jade, and she learned a thing or two?
Since she knew jade, if she took one look at their store, she wouldn’t have come in!
After all, their store didn’t carry anything decent; anyone knowledgeable passing by knew their quality.
The entire store’s inventory combined couldn’t yield a genuine glass species.
“If you’re not here to buy, what are you here for?”
Qingwu looked at the brutish-looking owner before her, her gaze cold, her voice indifferent.
“To find your store’s real owner.”
“I am the owner. What do you need?”
“You’re not.”
Even if a shop specialized in selling fakes, someone who knew nothing about jade couldn’t be its owner.
Qingwu gave him a glance, pulled Su Mi, and turned to leave.
The owner watched them leave, feeling uneasy.
These two girls came in and didn’t buy anything; were they causing trouble?
If they were troublemakers, he wouldn’t let them leave so safely!
The owner watched their departing figures, his expression gradually turning sinister…
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
After reporting the store’s events, the person on the other end gave a cold laugh.
“Follow them, see which shop these girls enter. If someone’s after me, make sure they never return!”
The video surveillance captured Qingwu and Su Mi’s figures, and the person on the call looked at them, then at the man sitting in the shadows.
The middle-aged man who had just been making threats changed his expression.
“Elder Pei Liu, this girl is President Pei’s sweetheart. Are we really going to make a move here?”
Elder Pei Liu leisurely sipped his tea, casting a glance at the surveillance footage of Qingwu.
Even through somewhat blurry surveillance, Qingwu’s graceful silhouette and composed, elegant steps were evident.
Clearly an exceptional beauty.
Elder Pei Liu sneered, “Pei Jue is still a child, picking such an immature girl. Pretty, yes, but only fit to be a caged bird.”
He cruelly curled his lips.
“I’d like to see how Pei Jue reacts if his songbird meets its end. Would it be more spectacular than before?”
“But she’s still the eldest daughter of the Shen Family… If we move against her, how will we answer to them?”
“Once I become the head of the Pei Family, no Shen Family will be able to touch me!”
Elder Pei Liu’s voice brimmed with confidence.
Wasn’t Pei Jue’s mother also a daughter of a distinguished family? Yet she couldn’t do anything to him!
As long as he bore the Pei surname, and made that young brat die in despair, giving up the position, what could the Shen Family do to him?
“Send a few men. It doesn’t take many to deal with this little girl. Just let her die slowly enough for my distant nephew to see his lover’s last moments.”
“Yes, I’ll handle it immediately.”
Exiting the jade store, Qingwu led Su Mi to an antique shop across the street.
Upon entering, the person behind the counter greeted them coldly.
“Look around as you like; you might not afford our items.”
Qingwu coolly retorted, “Tian Liang, is there anything in this shop I can’t afford?”
Tian Liang, hearing the familiar voice, immediately looked up, adopting a sycophantic expression.
“Heh, boss, what brings you here?”
“Deal with a few tagalongs behind us.”
Su Mi, puzzled, asked, “Huh? Someone’s following us? I didn’t notice at all!”
She watched wide-eyed as Tian Liang pulled out a sniper rifle, fitted with a silencer, from under the counter and gleefully headed out.
Su Mi’s jaw nearly hit the ground, gaping at Qingwu!
“Darling, aren’t your acquaintances a bit too… wild?”
Turning her head, she found that Qingwu was already reclining in the store’s prepared lounge chair, comfortably resting with her eyes closed.
Beside her was a cup of tea, and on her lap lay a cat, appearing from nowhere!
The scene was so tranquil, Su Mi almost forgot the sounds of fighting and screaming from behind…
Surely it was all her imagination!
Qingwu opened her eyes, looking at Su Mi, and beckoned.
“There’s a stool here. Come sit down, it won’t take long. There aren’t many of them; they’ll be dead soon.”
“…Alright!”
Half an hour later.
Tian Liang whistled back, casually wiping blood from his face, “Boss, they were all sent by Elder Pei Liu.”
Tian Liang seemed somewhat disappointed.
“They were so weak, just two shots and they talked. Not a single tough one. It’s not satisfying!”
Elder Pei Liu?
He should be Pei Jue’s distant uncle.
Attacking her meant he was opposed to Pei Jue.
Did he think she was easy prey? What a joke!
Qingwu settled back down, closing her eyes, occasionally stroking the silky smooth fur of the cat.
“A new batch is arriving soon. Your sense of achievement is on the way.”
“Don’t leave a single one.”
