Chapter 53 I'm going to die

Chen Boxu raised an eyebrow in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You knew everything?"

"Although what I did wasn't very ethical, you're getting a divorce anyway, so I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted with a "bang." It was only because he reacted quickly that he was able to dodge it at all.

Looking at the broken chair beside him, Chen Boxu's expression turned cold: "Pei Jiuyan, we've been brothers for years, and you're going to fight over a woman?"

Pei Jiuyan, Chen Boxu, and Xing Shangye have a relationship similar to that of Yun Zhaozhao, Zhou Xiao, and Wen Jingyu—they all grew up together. Moreover, when the Pei family ran into trouble, Chen Boxu helped them a lot. If it weren't for him keeping those shady characters in check, the Pei family would have been in even more dire straits.

Pei Jiuyan stared at him coldly, her eyes like poison: "You still have the nerve to call yourselves brothers of many years?"

His chest heaved, clearly indicating he was furious.

He didn't believe Yun Zhaozhao at first, but she spoke with such certainty that he couldn't help but believe her a little.

He had considered countless people, including Fu Shangluo, Wen Jingyu, Ning Xu, and even Zhou Yueming, but he never suspected Chen Boxu. He never expected that the one who would cheat on him in the end would be his own good brother.

He didn't give Chen Boxu a chance to speak again, took off his coat, picked up a chair, and went towards Chen Boxu.

His stance wasn't just about a fight; it was a fight to the death. Chen Boxu didn't dare to underestimate him and picked up the broken stool from the ground to meet him.

Soon, a loud noise came from the private room. The waiters didn't dare to go in because they couldn't afford to offend any of the people inside.

Xing Shangye arrived at this time, accompanied by his assistant Qin.

"You urgently called for my help, but didn't say what happened. What's wrong? Why is Jiu Yan looking for Bo Xu to settle scores with?"

Xing Shangye was completely bewildered. He had asked this question countless times, but still hadn't received an answer. Assistant Qin was as stubborn as an oyster shell, refusing to say anything.

He thought Assistant Qin was exaggerating a bit, and it wasn't until he heard the commotion inside that he realized the situation was serious.

"Grass!"

He cursed and hurriedly pushed open the door, only to be nearly hit by a bottle.

"roll!"

Pei Jiuyan let out a roar, and Xing Shangye dared not actually leave. Pei Jiuyan's current appearance was too frightening. He was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his or Chen Boxu's.

Chen Boxu looked bad; he was lying on the ground, unable to get up, and covered in blood. Pei Jiuyan, however, showed no signs of stopping; he was about to smash the chair he was holding onto Chen Boxu. Xing Shangye was startled and rushed over to catch Pei Jiuyan.

"Stop fighting, or someone will really die."

"Get lost! Or I'll beat you up too."

Pei Jiuyan now seemed somewhat ruthless, unlike anyone Chen Boxu had ever seen before. Even when those people forced him to kneel, he hadn't been this angry. Chen Boxu didn't know what he had done to offend Pei Jiuyan, but things couldn't continue like this.

He hugged Pei Jiuyan tightly, then winked at Assistant Qin, signaling him to quickly rescue Chen Boxu.

Pei Jiuyan's words were clearly not just empty talk. Soon, Xing Shangye felt a sharp pain in his back. That idiot Pei Jiuyan had actually beaten him up too.

"Damn it, Pei Jiuyan, what the hell have you gone mad about? Did Chen Boxu kill your whole family or sleep with your wife? Why are you acting like this?"

He felt Pei Jiuyan pause for a moment, then the punches rained down on him even more frequently. He didn't realize that he had unintentionally discovered the truth.

More than an hour later, Xing Shangye was at the hospital treating his wounds, grinning from ear to ear. He was only grateful that Pei Jiuyan had fallen ill and fainted in the end. If he hadn't collapsed, he and Chen Boxu would probably have really died there.

He was alright; Pei Jiuyan's blows to him were already at their last gasp, resulting in only minor injuries. But Chen Boxu was in a terrible state. He had several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, and fractures in his hands and feet. This was no joke; he was being beaten to death.

Of course, Pei Jiuyan's condition wasn't much better either. His cardiac enzymes were too high, leading to myocarditis. If he hadn't been brought in in time, he probably wouldn't have woken up again.

Even at this critical moment, he still didn't know what had happened. Assistant Qin didn't say a word, but just ran around looking for the best doctor for Pei Jiuyan.

Finally, Xing Shangye waited until Chen Boxu finished his surgery and came out. Ignoring Chen's weakness, he hurriedly asked, "What exactly did you do to Pei Jiuyan? Why is he biting you like a mad dog?"

Chen Boxu felt that Xing Shangye's description was very apt, and he slowly said, "It's nothing, I just touched his flesh and bones."

"What do you mean?" Xing Shangye didn't understand for a moment, but then he suddenly realized and looked at Chen Boxu in shock: "You're after Yun Zhaozhao?"

Chen Boxu's silence was tacit agreement, and Xing Shangye looked shocked: "Are you crazy? You know how much Jiu Yan values ​​the little princess, and you still dare to make a move on her? No, that's not how a brother should act."

Upon hearing this, Chen Boxu lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xing Shangye: "I've been behaving myself these past few years out of consideration for my brother. If he doesn't appreciate it, he can't blame anyone else."

Xing Shangye was speechless. He ran his fingers through his hair and finally managed to squeeze out a single word: "Damn!"

Judging from this, Chen Boxu had feelings for Yun Zhaozhao before, but he hadn't realized it all along.

When did you start liking Yun Zhaozhao?

"Isn't this normal? Ask anyone in the circle who wouldn't want to taste the Yun family's little princess?"

Everyone in this circle is an outstanding individual, a young talent, yet the little princess only had eyes for Pei Jiuyan before.

He said that as soon as the news of their divorce spread, Yun Zhaozhao would be surrounded by countless suitors.

Now that Yun Zhaozhao is no longer protected by the Yun family, she will eventually fall into someone else's hands. Since that's the case, it's better for her to fall into his hands, at least he will treat her well.

Xing Shangye stared at Chen Boxu in astonishment. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "No wonder Jiu Yan wanted to beat you to death. To be honest, I fucking wanted to beat you to death too. Chen Bo, this is really not how you act as a brother."

After saying that, he slammed the door and left. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have saved this idiot.

After leaving Chen Boxu's ward, Xing Shangye went to Pei Jiuyan's ward. Pei Jiuyan was still asleep, his face was pale, and he looked even worse than Chen Boxu. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Yun Zhaozhao's number.

"Hey, sister-in-law."

Xing Shangye called out obediently.

"Don't call me that. Pei Jiuyan and I are divorced. It's not appropriate for me to call you that anymore."

Yun Zhaozhao was a little surprised that Xing Shangye would call her at this time. Soon, she heard Xing Shangye say:

"Sister-in-law, Pei Jiuyan is going to die."
