Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Joining Forces to Deal with Qingwu and Pei Jue Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Joining Forces to Deal with Qingwu and Pei Jue Pei Liu was instantly drenched in sweat!
In their eyes, Pei Jue was just a young upstart who knew nothing.
He only got this far because of Elder Pei’s support; without Elder Pei, he was nothing!
“Where did Pei Jue get the guts? Could it be that the old man knows? That shouldn’t be…”
They had done quite a few unsavory things over the years. The old man might not be completely unaware, but he merely turned a blind eye.
Could it be that they made a move on Ms. Shen, and the old man couldn’t stand it anymore?
Pei Liu was soaked in cold sweat as he looked at the photos on his phone and calmed down.
In the photo, Fifth Elder Pei had been injured on the thigh; it looked like he couldn’t be saved!
The middle-aged man next to Pei Liu asked in confusion, “Sixth Elder, is the old man interfering in this, or is it the Shen family…
“Not necessarily. If it’s really the Shen family and the old man, I and Fifth Elder can only consider ourselves unlucky. Quickly go find Xuan Jing and ask him how to handle this!”
You have to know, he chose this time to make a move on Pei Jue, all because of Xuan Jing’s suggestion!
If Xuan Jing hadn’t said that Pei Jue was recently injured and that now was the best time to deal with him, he wouldn’t have acted so impulsively…
Pei Liu thought it over and decided to call Xuan Jing himself.
The voice on the other end sounded frail, with a hint of illness. Xuan Jing held two curio walnuts, meticulously rolling them back and forth.
“Pei Liu, I only told you that you could make a move on Pei Jue, but I never said you could lay a finger on Ms. Shen.”
He wore an extremely sickly smile.
“After all, Ms. Shen is also someone I’m interested in… if you all made a move on her, I wouldn’t be happy either.”
Pei Liu sneered.
“Don’t tell me you couldn’t guess we’d make a move on Ms. Shen. If you want to use me and Fifth Elder as your shields, dream on!”
Xuan Jing shrugged and stretched a bit.
“I truly didn’t guess. I wanted you to take out Pei Jue. The marriage engagement with Ms. Shen would be voided, which would be good for both you and me.”
The Pei family’s intent to take out Pei Jue and rise to power was as clear as day.
All Xuan Jing wanted was that marriage contract!
Pei Liu frowned and said, “Marriage contract? It seems Ms. Shen is quite extraordinary to catch the interest of someone like you…”
That girl did indeed have some charm, to have Pei Jue and Xuan Jing both so enamored!
Xuan Jing chuckled, “So, Pei Liu, do you want to continue cooperating with me? I want Ms. Shen. You want the helm of the Pei family. It’s mutually beneficial.”
Pei Liu felt a bit tempted.
Xuan Jing’s influence in the circle was not to be underestimated. If he could join forces with him, toppling Pei Jue wasn’t out of the question…
Once he got the helm of the Pei family, what did it matter if the Shen family wanted to cause trouble for him?
Xuan Jing added the final bargaining chip.
“Besides, what happened to Fifth Elder is also beneficial to you.”
“What do you mean? We are blood brothers. No matter what, what happens between me and Elder Five is our business. I won’t let an outsider like you sow discord!”
Xuan Jing silently smirked, “But at this time, no one would suspect you if something happened to Fifth Elder. One less brother is also one less competitor. Sixth Elder, don’t you get it?”
There were only so many shares. If a portion really were to be given to Elder Five, how much would he have left?
But Pei Liu didn’t relax, “This is my matter. No need for you to worry! If you want to cooperate with me, show your sincerity!”
“Easy enough.”
Setting down the phone, Xuan Jing turned his gaze to the person beside him, “When it comes to making a move on Pei Jue, how much chance of success do you think you have?”
Tarzan, who was eating an apple, nearly spit the apple in Xuan Jing’s face!
“Who? You called me here just to kill Pei Jue? I say, Xuan Jing, you’re damn ruthless! It was Pei Jue who hurt my leg!”
Going to find Pei Jue now was basically asking him to walk into a death trap!
If he had to jump off a building, it would probably be faster than seeking out Pei Jue and wishing for death.
Xuan Jing raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you want to avenge the people of Blue Whale?”
Tarzan finished the apple silently, wiped his mouth casually.
He shook his head, “On our border, we don’t abide by that!”
If he really wanted revenge, there wouldn’t be enough people to hunt for every grudge every day. Blue Whale had made too many enemies to count.
Besides, Pei Jue sought out Blue Whale, wasn’t it for revenge?
To be honest, he underestimated Deep Sea’s capabilities from the start!
Xuan Jing continued persuading Tarzan.
“If you really didn’t want revenge, you wouldn’t have come when the boss asked you to find me.”
“That’s bullshit. The boss called; if I didn’t come, I’d be waiting for him to chop me up?”
Tarzan thought Xuan Jing was an idiot.
Since he had the chance to come to Beijing to eat and drink, of course he came!
Xuan Jing set down the curio walnuts in his hands.
“I’ll look for opportunities to weaken Pei Jue; then you can make your move.”
Tarzan had no objections to this and sneered as he closed his eyes to rest.
But Xuan Jing really had to have the capability to act against Pei Jue.
Xuan Jing mentally reviewed the plan, and after confirming it was flawless, a smile crept onto his lips.
“I need to be discharged soon; otherwise, I’ll miss the start of school and the chance to meet her…”
“Tarzan, you can proceed with what was arranged last time.”
Tarzan smirked, “Yashan’s all set! I say, you’re a real sly one, always thinking of crooked ideas.”
Xuan Jing shrugged.
“Crooked ideas, as long as they work, are good ideas.”
…
Pei Liu set down the phone, a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
His middle-aged secretary bowed and said, “Sixth Elder, someone outside claims to be an old acquaintance of yours; I’ve let them in.”
“Bring them in.”
It wasn’t uncommon for people to seek help from Pei Liu; he didn’t think much of it.
A woman dressed in a form-fitting velvet qipao, with somewhat cheap jade accessories, walked in from outside in high heels, her swaying figure carrying a certain charm. Though older, she still retained her allure and was quite attractive.
Pei Liu stood up immediately, frowning, “Yueqiang? What brings you here?”
Seeing Pei Liu, Qian Yueqiang’s eyes reddened!
They hadn’t seen each other for many years, and now seeing Pei Liu, Qian Yueqiang’s eyes welled with tears!
“Sixth Brother, after all these years, I still can’t forget you…”
Pei Liu promptly invited Qian Yueqiang to sit beside him.
“Haven’t you gotten married? How have you been all these years?”
At Pei Liu’s concerned words, Qian Yueqiang immediately broke into tears!
She wiped away the tears on her face, gazed shyly at her first love—Pei Liu—who was by far the wealthiest among the men she had relations with…
Had she known back then that Pei Liu was from the Pei family, she would never have married Lin Jingsheng, who had nothing!
This time, no matter what, she was determined to hold onto Pei Liu!
