Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Escaped?
Lu Zhaozhao’s voice was soft and comforting to listen to.
Pei Huai couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth, the upward arc becoming even more pronounced when his gaze reached Xia Wenyan.
After chatting briefly, they ended the phone call.
Seeing this, Xia Wenyan came closer with a tense face and asked, "Zhaozhao... she hasn’t already found out about us coming to Country R, has she?"
He remembered his parents saying that they kept the trip to Country R a secret from Zhaozhao as they worried that she would insist on coming to Country R as well.
Previously, Lu Zhaozhao had caught a cold and was hospitalized after visiting Xiao Mo’s house with his mother and Xu Zhenzhen, so they were really worried about her traveling overseas.
Pei Huai lightly nodded, put down the breakfast he had brought on the bedside table, and handed him the milk before saying, "It seems she has known for a while, she even knows what your parents are here in Country R to do."
"Uh..." Xia Wenyan’s hand trembled as he drank the milk, looking somewhat frightened at Pei Huai, "Zhaozhao knows? My parents won’t think it was me who leaked it, will they?"
Because of a fractured arm, he had just gained a tiny bit of standing at home; if his parents found out that Lu Zhaozhao learned this from him, he feared he would be beaten even worse.
Maybe both his arms would end up in slings next time.
Seeing his cowardly look, Pei Huai couldn’t help but chuckle, "Zhaozhao already knew before she called. It’s not your fault."
"Oh, that’s good, that’s good."
If she knew before the phone call, then he could pin the blame on Song Sinian!
A sister is dear to him, but a brother-in-law can be ignored.
Thinking this, Xia Wenyan picked up his milk and drank obediently.
Since he had cleared the air with Pei Huai, he found himself feeling more relaxed in his company.
Xia Wenyan opened his mouth, about to say something, when suddenly Pei Huai’s phone rang in the quiet room.
Pei Huai’s eyebrows lifted slightly, he reached for the phone and answered it.
"Family Head, Meizi Feng Ya has escaped."
As soon as the voice from the other end of the phone reached him, Pei Huai’s expression instantly darkened.
He had known about the Fengya Family appointing a new heir and had assigned people to watch the Fengya Family.
Since Meizi Feng Ya was now useless to the Fengyas, he naturally wouldn’t let her go.
Unexpectedly, the Fengya Family had let the woman go.
His fist clenched involuntarily as he asked in a low voice, "Where has she gone? Have people been sent to pursue her?"
The person on the other end of the line was clearly a bit worried, stuttering, "The, the family, Meizi Feng Ya was always kept within the Fengya Family, the specific details, we can’t investigate."
"Waste!"
He scolded quietly, about to curse out loud when he noticed Xia Wenyan’s shocked eyes. Realizing something, Pei Huai ruffled his head and then spoke again, "First, investigate the places that woman might go to, and then look for our insiders within the organization to see where exactly she has gone."
He didn’t believe Fengya Ichiro had no involvement in this.
Although he was disappointed in his own daughter, he had indeed previously regarded Meizi Feng Ya as his sole heir and the affection couldn’t be fake.
Even if Fengya Ichiro detested Meizi Feng Ya, he wouldn’t just watch her life be endangered.
Therefore, Meizi Feng Ya’s escape was highly likely linked to Fengya Ichiro.
The person on the other end of the phone hadn’t expected Pei Huai’s anger to subside so quickly, and they were also stunned for a while, unable to speak.
Pei Huai certainly knew why the other party hadn’t responded for so long.
He cleared his throat, "Did you clearly hear what I just instructed you?"
Only then did the person on the other end recall, "Yes, Family Head."
"Good."
Having said this, Pei Huai then hung up the phone.
Xia Wenyan looked at Pei Huai, puzzled, and after a moment asked, "Brother Pei, is there something wrong with the Feng Ya’s side?"
When he came to Country R, his parents and three older brothers told him not to interfere in Country R’s affairs.
So, he just laid low, and therefore he only knew about Feng Ya Meizi, nothing else.
Having just heard Pei Huai mention that woman, the only person he could associate with was Feng Ya Meizi.
Pei Huai nodded slightly, not planning to hide it from Xia Wenyan, "The people watching over the Fengya Family say that Feng Ya Meizi has escaped."
"Escaped?" Xia Wenyan’s eyes widened instantly, seemingly in disbelief, "Why would she run?"
Pei Huai’s dark eyes blinked slightly, "She’s probably worried that the newly appointed heir would see her as a threat, after all, that woman had a group of supporters when she was the heir. It wouldn’t be too wrong for the new heir to move against her, wanting his own connections."
He intentionally skirted around the heavy topics, giving Xia Wenyan a brief primer on the Fengya Family’s situation.
Although he wasn’t exactly lying, the real reason for Feng Ya Meizi’s escape wasn’t just this.
After all, even if the new heir wanted to seize the initiative, they wouldn’t make it look so ugly.
Moreover, the chosen heir was appointed in such a rush; their position wasn’t even stable, and it was not likely they would move against Feng Ya Meizi.
She fled so hurriedly because she was afraid he would make a move.
Pei Huai’s gaze slightly lowered, he indeed wanted to kick her while she was down, but he hadn’t expected Fengya Ichiro, that old fox to be so vigilant and to have Feng Ya Meizi escape outright.
It seems he appeared too benevolent, which might be why Fengya Ichiro dared to do so.
Xia Wenyan picked up a sandwich from his plate and took a bite, casually asking, "Brother Pei, does that mean this matter is over?"
Since she had already fled, she probably wouldn’t be flaunting her power in the country anymore.
Now that the Fengya Family has changed heirs, they should be out of the picture, right? 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Pei Huai’s lips curved slightly, casually taking his finished milk glass, "Yes, it’s more or less over."
Of course... that’s just on the surface.
Fengya Ichiro had suffered such a loss and definitely wouldn’t let it go. He might not be as impulsive as Feng Ya Meizi, but what he would do next was unknown.
He couldn’t let Xia Wenyan be surrounded by such unpredictable dangers.
So, his previous plan might have to be moved up.
Pei Huai’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Xia Wenyan, this messy situation shouldn’t be his concern, he should just happily do what he wants.
Meanwhile, Feng Ya Meizi, who had already escaped, had just gotten off the plane.
As soon as she exited the airport, she saw the person who had come to pick her up.
"Meizi, you must be exhausted from the journey. I have already prepared a room at home; are you moving in today?"
