Chapter 493: Chapter 491: Feel Wronged?
"I’m going too!" Xia Wenyan muttered discontentedly.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was pinned down by Xia Wenjue with one hand.
His gaze was indifferent, yet his tone carried an undeniable authority, "You stay put in the hospital. This matter isn’t over; there will be a time for you to exert your effort later."
Seeing Xia Wenyan still wanting to struggle, Xia Wenmo added coolly, "Once your arm is healed, you can fight to your heart’s content."
Xia Wenqing also understood the intentions of the person who came, shrugging his shoulders, "It seems my elective courses in international law will be of use again."
Hearing the words of the three, Xia Wenyan immediately understood their intentions.
Was going to deal with those underlings merely a starter dish; were they planning to strike directly at their headquarters?
Xia Wenyan, having just woken up from surgery, didn’t even know that the people preparing to attack Lu Zhaozhao were the same ones who had previously targeted him.
He didn’t even realize he had been schemed against.
But having just listened to what his older brothers said, he instantly understood everything.
Xia Wenyan nodded gravely, "I understand. I won’t cause any more trouble then; I leave it all to you."
As he said these words, his gaze turned towards Song Sinian and he nodded, "Please take care of Zhaozhao."
After all, if their little sister got scared, they would have to rely on Song Sinian to comfort her.
Song Sinian also nodded in response.
There had been bodyguards around Lu Zhaozhao all the time, but since she had been accompanying him at the hospital recently, the Xia family wasn’t very clear about the situation.
Song Sinian didn’t intend to explain, so the group headed towards the location of Lu Zhaozhao and Wen Qingyu.
They did not plan to be merciful with those people today.
It’s unimaginable how stupid the Fengya Family must be.
Having suffered a setback from Pei Huai, they were seeking a presence within the country.
They didn’t even inquire about the background of the people they were targeting, huh!
They really must be used to acting like absolute lords in their own country, thinking they can behave obnoxiously everywhere?
Meanwhile, Pei Huai, who had already learned about Xia Wenyan’s car accident, stood in his study with an exceedingly unsightly expression.
Behind him stood quivering people, all servants of the Rimu Family.
Seeing the color of Pei Huai’s face, none dared to breathe too loudly.
They had thought that this heir, although brought in by them and seemingly easy to manipulate, turned out to act decisively, nearly destroying these seasoned old bones.
The people of the Rimu Family now both respected and feared Pei Huai.
They had initially thought of combining the Rimu and Fengya families through marriage, but who would have thought the Fengya woman would dare to drug Pei Huai?
Drugging was one thing, but to also challenge them so brazenly?
They started to doubt whether the Fengya family head, letting that woman lead, would even survive.
With such intellect, it seemed all her skills were focused on sleeping with men.
"Today I’ve called everyone here because I have matters to discuss," Pei Huai turned around, his gaze colder than his expression scanning the servants.
The servants exchanged glances, none daring to say much, quietly waiting for Pei Huai to continue.
Suddenly, he gestured to a bodyguard who, in no time, dragged in a tightly bound man.
The servants of the Rimu family silently watched as the bodyguard pushed the man to the ground. Seeing his tied limbs and covered eyes, a chill ran down their spines.
Because this man was one of their own, a servant of the Rimu Family.
Pei Huai slowly sat in the chair facing them, lightly tapping the chair’s backrest, his tone as cold as his touch, "Remove the cloth from his eyes and his mouth."
The bodyguards immediately complied, freeing the man’s mouth and eyes.
"Family Head, I am innocent!" the man immediately cried out to Pei Huai as soon as his mouth was freed.
Pei Huai’s eyebrows slightly arched, his look sardonic, "Innocent? Are you innocently involved in drugging me with that woman, or do you feel innocent in betraying your Family Head?"
The other servants felt sweat form on their brows.
This man truly dared, having colluded with a woman to drug their Family Head; did he no longer wish to live?
What sort of person was Pei Huai? Hadn’t they known enough about him recently?
He might well be the most ruthless among all the past Family Heads.
The bound man shivered as he looked at Pei Huai, "Family Head, I was considering our family’s future. A marriage alliance between the Fengya and Rimu families would definitely strengthen our family."
He thought the woman’s approach was a bit radical, but considering her looks, he believed a man like Pei Huai wouldn’t resist her charm, and thus he carelessly agreed.
But who could have foreseen that instead of succeeding, she would end up with a scarred face, with the relationship between the two families now extremely tense?
Now caught and brought here by Pei Huai, he had no choice but to stick up for himself. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Pei Huai suddenly chuckled coldly, "Considering the family’s future?"
He slowly stood up from the chair, approached the man, and then kicked him in the stomach. The man groaned, collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood.
"Since you’re so considerate for the family, why don’t you make a sacrifice and marry into the Yamamoto family?"
His voice was chilling, causing a shiver to run through the attending servants.
The Yamamoto woman was already 60 years old, often surrounded by young men – typically those from impoverished families or in debt.
That was because the old woman was excessively libertine, and ordinary men couldn’t endure her; thus young men were frequently replaced by her side.
The aftermath left by her hands had disabled more than nine out of ten men.
Letting this man marry into the Yamamoto family was a clear message.
Even for the sake of the Rimu family, the Yamamoto woman might not kill him outright, but his days in the Yamamoto household would not be pleasant.
Thinking thus, the servants couldn’t help but feel a wave of horror.
Hearing this, the man, enduring the pain, pleaded, "Family Head, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have collaborated with another family. Please forgive me this once."
"Forgive you?" Pei Huai sneered, "I won’t let the Fengya woman off, why should I let you off?"
The servants trembled, but hearing Pei Huai’s words, they still couldn’t help but speak.
"Family Head, our relations with the Fengya family are already poor; is it necessary to worsen them further?"
