Chapter 503: Chapter 501: What do you want me to help investigate?
In R country, as long as you are strong enough, you can pretty much walk on level ground, even when dealing with ancient families like the Fengya Family.
Song Sinian nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised at all.
He pondered for a moment before asking, "Did Xia Wenyan also go to the Fengya Family?"
Zhao Xi immediately shook her head, "No, it seems he stayed in the hotel, but he might go to the Rimu Family today..."
As for why, they of course knew it all too well.
Xia Wenyan’s hand was injured, and going to R country would not have been very useful.
But since he insisted on going there, the Xia Family naturally had to arrange a safe place for him.
With Pei Huai’s status in R country, it couldn’t be safer to place him there.
Song Sinian thought for a moment, then took out his phone and composed a message.
At the same time, Pei Huai, far away in R country, heard the notification sound from his phone.
In the dim room, the phone screen slowly lit up.
He irritably pressed at his temples. Because he had forcefully soaked in ice water to suppress the effects of drugs, his body was somewhat weak, and as a result, he developed a high fever the next day once the effects of the drugs wore off.
Although his condition improved somewhat over the past two days, his symptoms of a cold were still rather severe.
He reached for his phone, glanced over it, and just happened to see the words "Song Sinian."
Pei Huai’s eyebrows furrowed, but he still picked up the phone.
"Xia Wenyan is in R country, and he should go to the Rimu Family today. Be mentally prepared."
Pei Huai did a carp flip, sitting up straight from the bed.
He picked up the phone and called Song Sinian without any patience to text back.
"Du du du..."
After two rings, the call was picked up.
Pei Huai’s voice, heavy with nasal congestion, traveled through, "Why has Yanyan come to R country? Where exactly is he now?"
He ran his hand through his hair in frustration, the whole person agitated.
He did want to see Xia Wenyan, but not under these circumstances.
He had just started dealing with the Fengya Family, and although most of the Rimu Family had settled down, the hidden dangers lurking in the shadows were still significant. He was worried that Xia Wenyan might get hurt after arriving in R country.
He had not escaped being affected when he was in Hua Country, let alone staying by his side now.
The more Pei Huai thought, the more his head hurt, and even the tone of his speech carried a distinct irritability.
"Have you not had a chance to look at today’s news?" Song Sinian’s voice over the phone was unhurried and carried a hint of coolness, "The Fengya Family has been dealt with, and their current successor has been replaced."
Pei Huai was slightly stunned and suddenly felt a throbbing in his temples, "I... just woke up and didn’t notice the situation with the Fengya Family."
Song Sinian naturally understood that Pei Huai was not the type to oversleep, and listening to his muffled voice, he knew that Pei Huai was either injured or had been calculated by others.
He did not ask further but continued, "Xia Family people personally sought revenge at the Fengya Family, and the aftermath will be handled cleanly. Under the dual pressures of both economics and power, the Fengya Family will not act rashly. You just need to take care of the Rimu Family’s matters."
Listening to Song Sinian’s voice, Pei Huai seemed to realize something, "The economic pressure, wouldn’t be without the involvement of the Song Group, right?"
"..."
Song Sinian did not confirm or deny, his silence practically an answer.
Pei Huai blinked and was not offended.
With the pressure from the Song Group and XJ Group, the Fengya Family indeed wouldn’t dare to make any further moves. Perhaps that’s how their heir was forced to be removed? 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Pei Huai squinted, thinking that without the threat from the Fengya Family, Xia Wenyan coming to R country would be much safer, and he instantly felt more at ease.
He pursed his lips, "For this matter, consider that I owe you one. If there’s anything you need me to do in the future, I’m ready anytime."
"No need for anytime, just help me with one thing right now," Song Sinian wasted no opportunity and said directly.
Pei Huai had a moment of surprise but quickly recovered, "Sure, tell me, what do you want me to investigate?"
All his forces were practically in R country by now; whatever Song Sinian wanted to investigate was likely related to R country.
After all, for domestic issues, he could find out by lifting a finger, no need for Pei Huai’s help.
Song Sinian pondered briefly on the other end of the phone, "I heard that Fengya Ichiro previously had many lovers, including some from Hua Country. Check if there’s a woman with the surname Feng."
He had just been reviewing files and noticed many of Lu Dagui’s overseas orders were related to R country’s Fengya Family.
He didn’t believe Lu Dagui had the courage to secure such orders, but if someone was helping him from the shadows, it was possible.
He vaguely felt this matter might involve Feng Xixi.
Even if the final investigation results were unrelated, it was necessary to eliminate this suspicious point first.
Pei Huai agreed without hesitation, "I understand, I’ll have someone inform you of the results of the investigation as soon as possible."
"Mhm."
Song Sinian had just responded when Pei Huai’s hotel room door was knocked on.
Song Sinian corners of his mouth lightly lifted, "Then I won’t disturb your leisure time."
Saying this, the other end of the phone hung up the call.
Pei Huai looked at the disconnected phone with a puzzled face and called out to the door, "Come in."
A bodyguard-like figure entered, and upon seeing Pei Huai, immediately lowered his head, cautiously saying, "Master, someone outside wishes to see you, claiming to be your friend."
"I..."
Pei Huai’s instinct was almost to send them away, but remembering Song Sinian’s recent call, he changed his words, "Did he mention his name?"
The bodyguard shook his head, looking somewhat uneasy at Pei Huai.
Under normal circumstances, their master would have already lost his temper at the news of a so-called friend seeking him out.
But now, their master had not only refrained from getting angry, but his attitude had even softened when asking questions, leaving the bodyguard feeling utterly befuddled.
"Does he look good?" Pei Huai pinched the bridge of his nose, leaning back on the sofa.
Recently, since he became the Master of the Rimu Family, many people had come to him flaunting their past friendship.
Usually, Pei Huai would tell these people to get lost, but Song Sinian had just mentioned that Xia Wen had come to R country, prompting him to ask a few more questions.
If it was Xia Wenyan who had come to see him, it wouldn’t be good to turn him away.
The bodyguard was momentarily dazed but quickly caught on, "That person... he’s good-looking, just that his arm seems to be injured, he..."
"Let him in right away."
Pei Huai felt an urgent desire to rush downstairs and personally fetch Xia Wenyan.
But all his actions in R country were now under the scrutiny of the old farts of the Rimu Family; he couldn’t show too much special attention to Xia Wenyan publicly, or else he might become a target for those with ill intentions.
