The man surnamed Hu directly reported his wife and her family, with whom he had been living for more than ten years, and clearly stated that the Pei family also had a large amount of private property such as gold, silver and treasures hidden, and that there were many foreign books in the house.

As a result, he was promoted directly to the second-in-command of the committee. Then, he became even more unscrupulous and personally led the Pigeon Squad to raid the Pei family and seized countless amounts of money.

Half of them were later secretly transferred by him and embezzled into his own hands.

Before the incident, Pei Zhaojia had always taken good care of himself and did not have a single gray hair. But this time, he could not withstand the blow and his hair turned gray overnight.

He never imagined that the place where his money was buried, which was known only to his closest relatives, would be uncovered by his ambitious son-in-law.

It was too late for the entire family, young and old, to escape.

He tried every possible means, including asking old friends for help, to save his eldest son's family, but it was simply impossible.

In the end, Pei Ziqiu was the only one left in the family. He was arranged to quickly sever ties with his relatives and go to the countryside to become an educated youth.

After all, this is a girl of her prime who is used to those people's methods. If something happens to this child, her family will find it hard to bear.

Therefore, her grandfather Pei Zhaojia, as the head of the family, forced her to leave quickly and find a way to survive on her own.

Pei Zixi, the eighteen-year-old eldest grandson of the Pei family, would rather die than leave his family.

And the ten-year-old grandson Pei Ziyan was too young and had to live with his parents, with no other reliable place to go.

These two grandsons, who were originally good people, have been implicated. I don’t know what kind of hardships they will face in the future. Even worse, they may even lose their lives.

They are the old man's favorites, and Pei Zhaojia felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

But the situation changed suddenly. No matter how many storms he had experienced in the business world, he could never have imagined that his son would one day end up in such a miserable way.

His and his wife Tang Yuzhi's beloved daughter, Pei Shiyun, was only 32 years old. She had suffered from a disease due to the difficult childbirth and had been in poor health for many years.

Pei Shiyun knew clearly that the damned Hu Yixun had learned the place where the Pei family hid important things by extracting information from her one time.

She ruined the whole family.

After this incident, the already fragile man could not withstand the mental blow, and also the humiliation and torture specifically targeted by the Red Team. He died in prison within half a month.

Only two eleven-year-old twin daughters, Hu Yunshan and Hu Yunke, were left, following their grandmother pitifully.

At the age of eleven, he understood a lot of things. He knew that his family was broken up because of his beastly father, and he was deeply hurt emotionally.

They were alone and helpless, imprisoned with their grandparents and their uncle's family.

Ever since their mother was murdered, the two girls regarded Hu Yixun as their enemy and even changed their surnames to Pei.

Pei Ziqiu told Lian Xiaomin about the misfortunes in his family, and Lian Xiaomin sighed with regret.

She suddenly realized that the young girl in front of her was a real capitalist lady.

I thought to myself, maybe there was a reason why this little girl told me these things today that should have been kept secret.

She looked at him quietly and asked, "Zi Qiu, how are your family members now?"

The little girl's lips trembled, and she whispered, "I asked my uncle who arranged for me to go to the countryside to find out how my family has been doing since I left."

"He never replied to my letters. Maybe my father told him not to involve me anymore. It would be safer if he broke up with me completely..."

"Until a few days ago, I suddenly received a letter from Uncle Zhao. When I saw the pseudonym on the envelope, I guessed it was him. I am very happy to finally get news about my family..."

"…But I didn't expect that when I opened the letter, I found that it not only described my family's situation after I left, but also said that Hu Yixun, that bastard, somehow knew that my grandfather had a more secret hidden amount of gold and jewels that were even more priceless!"

"Therefore, after the house was confiscated, the Pei family members were not directly sentenced to death... Whether they were demoted or sentenced to death was still undecided. Instead, they were detained in a special prison until now."

At this point, Pei Ziqiu's face was suddenly filled with grief and indignation: "And now, Uncle Zhao said that the Hu family couldn't pry open the Pei family's mouths, and they can't wait any longer. They want to use my eldest brother and younger brother to force grandfather and father to hand over the last bit of money. Maybe they will start by the end of June at the latest..."

Hearing this, Lian Xiaomin exclaimed: "How much power does he have to kill people directly, and to a child..."

Pei Ziqiu frowned and pursed his lips: "Yes, he didn't even care about his own flesh and blood, his two daughters who were like flower buds, and he was able to detain them in prison for more than seven months. How cruel his methods were! He is a beast..."

"... Uncle Zhao's letter mentioned that the Hu's usual method was to send people to Yungang Farm in the suburbs of Shanghai for reform. In fact, the captain of the farm's security team, Wang Dajiang, had a younger brother, Wang Erjiang, who was bribed by him a long time ago. He would use means at the farm to put people to death."

"A group of people were to be sent to Yungang Farm at the end of June. He secretly found out that my eldest brother and my younger brother's names were on the list..." Pei Ziqiu said worriedly.

Lian Xiaomin nodded. So that's it.

Alas, it is really hard to tell whether some people are human or ghost.

Until one day, you finally discover his true face, but it's too late.

Especially, in today's world, it is not uncommon to be betrayed by the people closest to you.

She was full of sympathy for Pei Ziqiu's family. This seemingly weak girl was actually very resilient. She was talented, beautiful, intelligent and courageous.

With such a family background, if he had not experienced this, he would have been an outstanding person.

Even though she was crying with tears in her eyes, she just said she was talking.

But Lian Xiaomin was so perceptive that she quickly realized that the other party must have her own purpose today as she said these words and revealed all her secrets.

So without saying a word, he stared at the person opposite him with a pair of eyes that could see into people's hearts.

Pei Ziqiu mustered up his courage for a long time before he finally said all his last words.

She raised her head, looked directly at the girl who was younger than herself but very calm, and said:

"Xiaomin, although we have only been friends for a short time, I am not bragging. My grandfather once said that I am good at observing details and very perceptive... Based on my observation and judgment, you must be a very capable and extraordinary person!"

"First, let's talk about Zhang Wenyong. What an outstanding person he is? Everyone in the village knows him. But he is only willing to befriend you in private and practice martial arts with you. You must be extraordinary. Besides, if you were an ordinary person, why would the spy Yu Lei keep staring at you?"
