Pei Zhi's decision to have Hu Shi attend the anniversary memorial abroad was truly for Hu Shi's own good.

During her time in the country, Pei Zhi also caused Hu Shi a lot of trouble.

Whether as compensation or something else, Hu Shi's attendance at the anniversary memorial service meant he was considered a member of a collateral branch of the Xie family.

Hu Shih was born into a wealthy family and thought he was worldly-wise.

Private jets? Who hasn't flown on one?

Although Hu Shi didn't actually sit there, he did.

However, this was the first time Hu Shi had ever tried such a luxurious and top-of-the-line private jet.

After the plane landed, Hu Shih was escorted to a car by his bodyguards.

And each of these bodyguards was armed.

At this moment, Hu Shih finally felt a sense of reality; this was abroad, and these weapons were allowed to be carried.

If he wasn't mistaken, these bodyguards were all wearing bulletproof vests, right?

Hu Shih gasped. Was Pei Zhi's commotion a bit too much?

Even making a movie wouldn't go this far, would it?

Soon, Hu Shih realized just how naive his ideas were.

With a loud bang, the car began to skid.

"The tires were shot out."

Hu Shih listened to the driver speaking in English.

Your car tire got shot out? What was used to shoot it out?

It's not what he thinks, is it?

He's just coming abroad to attend a memorial service; there shouldn't be any danger to his life, right?

The bodyguard who was originally sitting in the passenger seat opened the car door and rolled out of the car.

Hu Shih just stared in disbelief the whole time.

The driver reassured him, "Sir, please rest assured, this is an armored car."

Hu Shih, his face pale, could only nod.

Did Pei Zhi dislike him for a long time?

He didn't die in China, so Pei Zhi invited him abroad so she could get rid of him openly and legitimately.

Is it because he knows too many of Pei Zhi's secrets?

A woman's heart is the most poisonous!

Several loud bangs were heard outside the car, and bodyguards escorted Hu Shi to another bulletproof car.

This time, they escorted Hu Shi back to the manor without incident.

When Hu Shi got out of the car, his legs went weak. Pei Zhi helped him up quickly, otherwise Hu Shi would have really knelt down in front of Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi's tone was full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sent my car to pick you up."

"Huh?" Hu Shi was stunned, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Pei Zhi gestured to the aunt, and soon an aunt brought over a cup of hot tea.

Another aunt helped Hu Shi change his clothes and wipe away his sweat.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Hu Shi felt a little better.

What did you mean by what you just said?

“Things have been a bit unsettled at home lately. They probably thought it was me in the car, which scared you, didn’t it?”

Pei Zhi's words lingered in Hu Shi's mind.

"No, you mean, someone dislikes you and wants to..." Hu Shi made a throat-slitting gesture.

Holy crap, is this guy insane?

Domestically, Fan Yunshu, that woman, just wanted to teach Pei Zhi a lesson.

Abroad, Pei Zhi's life is truly in danger.

"Then why are you still staying here? Let's go back quickly."

Pei Zhi said casually, "It's a small matter, it can be resolved quickly."

Hu Shi opened his mouth, but for a long time he didn't know what to say.

This is considered a small matter? Then what would be considered a big matter?

Hu Shi finally understood why Pei Zhi could drive his car into the river without batting an eye in China.

So, Pei Zhi has developed a strong heart by living in such an environment abroad every day?

"Pei Zhi, tell me honestly, is Xie Cinian's business shady, and are you being hunted down by gangsters?"

Pei Zhi was the boss's woman, and Xie Cinian was so hated that they could only vent their anger by killing the boss's woman.

"What are you thinking? The Xie family's business is very clean."

Pei Zhi paused, then continued, "Even if it wasn't clean before, it's clean now."

Since Xie Ci Nian intends to move his business to China, there will be no shady dealings involved.

"The Xie family has too many branches. With so many people, the distribution of benefits is uneven, and some people want to compete for them."

Pei Zhi shook her head. "Alright, let Auntie take you upstairs to take a shower, rest for a while, and then come down for dinner."

Hu Shih said worriedly, "Okay, then don't go out. It's very dangerous outside."

After Hu Shih left, Pei Zhi let the bodyguards in.

"Thirteen companies, or twenty?"

Xie Cinian did not allow thirteen families to participate in the anniversary memorial service, but instead joined twenty families.

Pei Zhi didn't send an invitation over.

This action also indicates that from then on, there would be no more thirteen or twentieth branches of the Xie family.

These two families naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Xie Cinian is the head of the Xie family, so they can't easily make a move against him, and they're also afraid that if things escalate, the other branches of the Xie family won't let them off the hook.

Therefore, they set their sights on Pei Zhi.

They might not actually want to kill Pei Zhi; perhaps they just want to teach Pei Zhi a lesson.

This frightened Pei Zhi, so she tried to persuade Xie Cinian not to exterminate them.

Of course, if something goes wrong while causing trouble for Pei Zhi and Pei Zhi accidentally dies, then it can only be considered Pei Zhi's bad luck.
