The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Wanting to Harm Qingwu Is Like a Fool’s Dream Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Wanting to Harm Qingwu Is Like a Fool’s Dream Pei Group.

The man in the impeccably tailored black suit looked cold and sinister, crossing his hands as he faced the middle-aged man across from him who was overstepping his bounds.

Pei Jue removed the gold-rimmed non-prescription glasses from his nose and wiped them leisurely.

“Fifth Uncle,” he said, “the terms you’ve proposed are utterly fantastical. It makes me wonder if you drank too much last night. If you have some mental ailment, I wouldn’t mind helping you find an institution.”

Elder Pei Wu’s face changed color repeatedly.

“Dear nephew, the group is so big, it isn’t just you who gets to make all the decisions. I’m only asking for some shares in the company; it’s not excessive.”

Seventy percent of Pei Group’s shares were held by Pei Jue alone, with the rest controlled mostly by the old master, leaving only a small portion to be divided among others.

What Elder Pei Wu wanted was precisely the shares in the old master’s hands.

Pei Jue sneered cruelly, “Fool’s talk!”

Elder Pei Wu slammed the table in anger, his corpulent body trembling.

A moment later, Elder Pei Wu sneered coldly, “Dear nephew, you’re quite pleased with yourself now, but I wonder if your little girlfriend will be too!”

A frown instantly knitted Pei Jue’s brows.

“What do you mean by that?”

Elder Pei Wu, seeing Pei Jue’s reaction, knew he had made the right gamble.

Ah, still just a lad who doesn’t know how to control his emotions!

“Dear nephew, as your elder, I must teach you a lesson,” he continued.

“To be a successful leader, you can’t have a weakness. Fifth Uncle is doing you a favor by removing it; you should be thanking me!”

Elder Pei Wu had a strange expression, “Heh, dear nephew, it was you who put Ms. Shen in danger. If you hadn’t flaunted her at the auction, I wouldn’t have known your intentions.”

He wanted to say more, but a sharp pain shot through his leg!

Elder Pei Wu looked at the gun pointed at him and the blood gushing from his leg, meeting Pei Jue’s fierce, murderous eyes, and was utterly terrified!

Pei Jue gritted his teeth as he looked at him, “Fifth Uncle, if anything, even a strand of hair, happens to Qingwu, I’ll have the lives of your entire family!”

Elder Pei Wu was filled with unspeakable fear. At that moment, he suddenly realized that Pei Jue didn’t leave him alone before because he wasn’t afraid!

Pei Jue’s methods were far scarier than he and Old Six had imagined.

Throwing aside Elder Pei Wu’s still trembling body, Pei Jue strode outside.

He reached the parking lot at lightning speed, got into his car, and stepped on the gas, rushing out.

He made several calls, but Qingwu didn’t pick up.

Even though he knew that there should be someone with Qingwu and that nothing too serious would happen, combined with her skills…

Aware that maybe he shouldn’t worry, Pei Jue’s heart still pounded out of rhythm!

Scenes from his childhood seemed to replay before his eyes, and he saw that moment from years ago again!

Pei Jue’s palms were clammy with cold sweat, and the veins in his hands bulged as he gripped the steering wheel.

The car raced along, tires scraping against the ground and sparking as it stopped at the entrance of the antique shop.

Tian Liang was whistling, using a power hose to wash away the bloodstains on the steps.

As soon as he saw Pei Jue’s car stop at the shop’s entrance, the Singer stepped out, exuding a murderous aura that even made Tian Liang shiver.

The Singer was… here to seek revenge against their boss?

Or had he finally discovered that their boss was a treacherous conman?

Adhering to the principle of being a competent subordinate, Tian Liang stammered as he opened his mouth.

“Si… Singer… President Pei! Our boss i-i-isn’t here…”

Pei Jue’s gaze passed over Tian Liang and fell inside the shop.

A vine chair swayed gently in the sunlight, enveloped in warmth, with a white, slender hand gently stroking a cat in its lap…

Qingwu turned slightly, yawning, her enchanting eyes clouded with a hint of mist, giving her gaze an added touch of dreamy haze.

“Pei Jue? What brings you here?”

Pei Jue stood still, looking at Qingwu for a moment, as if to ensure that the scene before him was accurate, then strode forward.

He knelt on one knee before the vine chair, and the chubby cat on Qingwu’s lap sprang away, sniffing the scent of blood on him.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Me? I’ve been sunbathing here all along. What could’ve happened?”

Pei Jue breathed a sigh of relief!

The joy of regaining something lost swirled up in his mind, and he pressed Qingwu’s hand to his brow.

“As long as you’re fine, I was just afraid…”

Qingwu was somewhat surprised.

Pei Jue, who was always so aloof and decisive, a lifelong opponent, now seemed uncertain for once. It was truly rare.

Sensing the reason behind Pei Jue’s unease, Qingwu’s voice unconsciously softened.

“I’m alright. All those who came were dealt with.”

Pei Jue nodded, his tone tinged with affection.

“I’m sorry, it’s because of the Pei Family.”

“It’s alright, it wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to apologize.”

Qingwu added another comment, “Several Pei Family businesses have infringed upon Beidou Star’s interests. I would’ve taken them out eventually.”

So, this had nothing to do with Pei Jue.

Understanding the underlying implications, Pei Jue wasn’t reassured.

If those people weren’t dealt with, they’d surely come for her again!

Lapdog Tian Liang, witnessing this scene, patted his chest. Good thing the Singer wasn’t here for revenge, as he was still worried their boss had found some wild man outside…

Tian Liang brought over a chair for Pei Jue, placing it beside their boss’s vine chair.

“Have a seat, President Pei. There were two groups, thirty-five people, all cleared; the instigator hasn’t been dealt with yet.”

Pei Jue sat next to Qingwu and said coldly, “I will take their lives myself.”

Tian Liang chuckled, “Good to hear you say that; our boss hasn’t suffered such unwarranted disasters before.”

“I understand!”

Though many wanted to kill their boss, few mistook her for a defenseless canary!

Tian Liang was getting excited!

Even if their boss could be a canary, she’d be the type of venomous one that could bite through a crocodile’s neck.

Qingwu handed a handkerchief to Pei Jue, then thought better of it. She decided to help him wipe his face herself.

She explained softly, “You have blood on your face, looks like splatter. Whose blood is it?”

“Leg, I think. I forgot. Should’ve shot for the heart.”

Hearing the frustration in Pei Jue’s words, Qingwu couldn’t help but curl her lips.

“There’s always next time.”

“Alright, as you say.”

The scene was warm and harmonious.

Over to the side, Su Mi pretended she saw nothing.

Suddenly, she felt like an extra, why was this?

Sour, too sour, like she’d eaten a dozen lemons and still couldn’t quite bear it!

…

Elder Pei Liu, who was seated in front of the screen, jumped out of his chair for good news!

“What did you say? All the people we sent are dead? Could it be that Pei Jue anticipated this? Impossible!”

“And Old Five was injured by Pei Jue? How dare he!”
