Chapter 843 He Destroyed His Hard Work

As soon as Pei Zheng walked out of the study, he met Pei Gan who came back in the middle of the night.

He smelled of alcohol mixed with a woman's perfume, and his face was slightly flushed. One could tell at a glance how relaxed and comfortable he had been tonight.

"Big brother."

Pei Gan burped and quickly straightened his attitude.

He knew his elder brother didn't like his playful behavior, but it was hard for him to refuse a friend's invitation. He was getting engaged soon, so he didn't have much time left to be carefree.

"Good-for-nothing!"

Pei Zheng suppressed his anger in his heart and kicked him.

He kicked him in the knee. Pei Gan cried out in pain and fell to the ground. He hugged his knee and said aggrievedly: "Brother, I didn't spend the night outside. I just got together with my good brothers."

"Pei Gan, didn't I tell you to stay away from those bad friends? Did you ignore my words?"

He kicked him in the heart again, "If you let me know next time, I will punish you."

Pei Gan had never seen him so angry before. He only cursed at people before.

The first time I got in touch with him, I kicked him to death.

He huddled up in a ball, really afraid that his eldest brother would kick him to death. "Brother, I won't dare to do that again! I swear, I will never mess around with them again!"

Pei Zheng took a deep breath, thought about his careless mouth and what he had accidentally encountered last time, and asked.

"Did you know that our family exports silk?"

"I know. I heard you and Dad talking about it last time. But what's the big deal? Foreigners just like this kind of thing. Isn't it normal for our family to make money by exporting silk? Could it be... is there something wrong with the silk?"

Something very big must have happened, for my brother to be so angry and out of control.

What big deal can it be with just a boatload of silk?

Pei Zheng looked at his confused look and felt that he was mad.

He actually thought Pei Gan had leaked the information, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, he said, "You must stay at home until we get engaged. If you take one step out of the house, I will break your legs!"

Pei Gan muttered, "How can we continue the engagement if it's interrupted?"

"Don't even think about escaping this marriage! Even if my legs are broken, I'll have you carried over. You'd better win over the Feng family and find out if they took a lot of gold when they left the imperial capital, and where their mines are."

The Feng family has a gold mine, and Pei Zheng believes this absurd rumor.

Gold is hard currency in any dynasty and any country.

Pei Gan lay on the ground crying, as if he had lost his parents.

But Pei Zheng didn't buy it. He just told the people around him, "Find someone to keep a close eye on him."

"yes."

Pei Zheng then walked out the door, and the car drove away with a roar.

Pei Gan clutched his chest and asked, "Is my brother crazy? Why is he so angry?"

A subordinate beside him whispered, "Master, something big has happened at home. Please be careful recently and don't offend the eldest master."

"What's the big deal?"

"You'll know tomorrow."

That's a big deal.

The young master had been doing well for many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a setback. Wouldn't that drive him crazy?

Pei Gan didn't dare ask any more questions, feeling rather pitiful. He had spent so much time indulging in prostitutes, only to end up marrying a girl whose hair hadn't even fully grown.

…

A luxury car sped away in the night.

Finally we stopped at Shisanwan Pier.

People at Shisanwan Wharf were in panic.

Pei Zheng was sitting in the car, and no one dared to stop him because of the iconic license plate number.

He looked towards the dock, his tone filled with bloodthirsty coldness: "Do it."

"Yes, young master."

At the command.

Suddenly there was an explosion at the dock.

Then there was a strong burst of fireworks.

"The warehouse is on fire!"

"Put out the fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Call the police first!"

"That warehouse is filled with silk, I'm afraid it can't be saved!"

The pier was in even greater chaos, with many people shouting for help, using fire extinguishers and water cannons, and the sirens of fire trucks could be heard in the distance.

The subordinate sitting in the car said, "Don't worry, young master, this fire cannot be put out. It will be completely burned by the time the police car arrives. The things we are transporting this time are just some cloth, calligraphy and paintings, which are light and easy to burn."

Those cultural relics are thousands of years old and are priceless.

Burn it.

Although Pei Zheng was the head of a noble family, it still took him some effort to get these things.

But now, he has to burn his own hard work with his own hands.

He was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

I cursed Zhong Yi a few more times in my heart!

He stared at the flames rising into the sky, his eyes red with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "It must be burned completely. No one can find any clues!"

"Okay, young master."

"And we need to find a top hacker to recover the data as soon as possible."

"I've already used my connections to contact Fei Luan from the hacker forum. He'll take care of everything. But offering 20 million seems a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

"Transfer the money! I want all the data restored to its original state!"

"yes."

Pei Zheng took a few deep breaths before he calmed down the rage surging in his heart.

He will remember this night of humiliation!

…

the next day.

After Qiao Xi woke up, washed and tidied herself, she went downstairs and heard a commotion in the living room.

"The Thirteen Bay Pier burned down last night!"

"The flames shot up into the sky! They said the warehouse wasn't properly fireproofed, and a whole bunch of silk was burned to ashes. The firefighters couldn't save it."

Sun Weimeng spoke vividly, as if he were there himself.

"The Pei family is in such bad luck! I don't know how much liquidated damages they'll have to pay. Furthermore, something has happened to the Thirteen Bay Wharf, causing it to shut down. They say the data isn't working."

His gossip spread quickly. "It seems someone entered the dock last night to cause trouble. Could it be just a fire? What a big grudge! Aren't they afraid of being sent to jail? But the funny thing is, the Pei family hasn't found the arsonist yet. Where is their face?"

He looked at Huo Sijiao who was sitting on the sofa and asked, "Don't you think so?"

Huo Sijiao didn't even raise her head. "How would I know? You should ask my brother."

"Your brother left early this morning. Who knows where he went? He didn't even take Lao Chen with him. Maybe he went out to hunt for food? I always hear that many men cheat during pregnancy, even good men."

Huo Sijiao took the pillow and threw it over: "You want to die! My brother is not that kind of person!"

Sun Weimeng dodged the attack and said, "Don't disbelieve me! These days, there's an endless stream of new tactics. As long as your sister-in-law has a pregnancy checkup at the hospital, big data will start pushing information. What they push to your sister-in-law is a parenting guide, and what they push to your brother is a massage with a young model. It's so disgusting just by being exposed to this information... Those shady businesses have no moral compass in order to make a living."

Some men can't control themselves when their wives are pregnant.

As soon as I saw the channel push, I was tempted. I went there several times.

Huo Sijiao half-believed it and half-doubted, "Really?"

She also caught a glimpse of Qiao Xi standing at the stairs out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
