Pei Fengzhi, with a cold and aloof expression, spoke calmly to Pei Minghan.

“Pei Minghan, surrender now. I’ll spare your life because you’re my nephew, and I won’t harm the entire main branch of the family.”

"This is my bottom line for backing down."

"This is your last chance."

Ye Ningwan turned her head and glanced at Pei Fengzhi, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Pei Fengzhi is such a person.

He saw that she was aloof and indifferent, like a banished immortal who was untouched by worldly affairs, without a trace of earthly emotion.

In reality, Pei Fengzhi is more sentimental than anyone else.

Even if he is ruthless, he will always leave a way out for his family members.

However, Pei Minghan misunderstood this gentle point.

He tilted his head back and burst into laughter.

"I knew it! Pei Fengzhi, you weren't going to kill me! And you wouldn't dare touch Pei Minghao! You seem ruthless, but you're just a coward!"

"You know the old man doesn't like infighting within the family, but in your attempt to please him, you're completely ruthless towards your own family!"

"You're scared too, aren't you! You're afraid that if I die, the old man won't forgive you, and then the duck that's already in your mouth will fly away!"

"The rules left by our ancestors state that anyone who kills a member of their own family will be stripped of their position as head of the family and expelled from the Pei family! If you have the guts, then kill me! If you kill me, the Pei family will have nothing to do with you anymore!"

Pei Minghan's laughter echoed throughout the abandoned factory. His face was covered in blood, and one of his arms was severed and twisted in a bizarre position, resembling a zombie cornered by a pursuer.

His laughter was wild, like a duck whose neck had been twisted.

After laughing for a while, Pei Minghan then provocatively said to Pei Fengzhi.

"Uncle Jiu, to be honest, I really want you to kill me! Anyway, I'm already crippled, but the Pei family will fall into my father's hands, and the entire Pei family will still belong to our eldest branch!"

“My father is the eldest son of the eldest son's family, and I am the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family. We are the rightful eldest sons and grandsons. Your mother is just the old man's fifth wife. You are of lowly status. What right do you have to compete with me!”

"Are you worthy?!"

"Don't think I don't know what your mother does. Your mother is someone who's ridden by a thousand men and trampled by ten thousand..."

A deep, dark mist welled up in Pei Fengzhi's eyes.

He gripped the gun tightly, raised it, and was about to pull the trigger on Pei Minghan.

Pei Minghan's gaze was fixed on the muzzle of Pei Fengzhi's gun, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

He looked forward to death, and even more so to how miserable Pei Fengzhi would be after killing him.

At this moment, Madam Pei rushed over, opened her arms, and stood weeping in front of Pei Fengzhi's gun.

"No! Pei Fengzhi, I beg you, please don't harm my son! It's all my fault, please spare him! I'm begging you!"

As she spoke, Madam Pei suddenly knelt down, crawled forward on her knees, and tightly grasped Pei Fengzhi's hand that was holding the gun, weeping bitterly.

Pei Fengzhi frowned, but his wrist holding the gun remained motionless.

He didn't fire, but instead looked up at Pei Minghan and said, word by word.

“Pei Minghan, even if you die, the Pei family will not fall into the hands of the eldest son’s branch.”

“I just received the news that my older brother’s plane crashed on his way back from Europe and he has now been confirmed dead.”

Pei Minghan stared wide-eyed in astonishment and roared in disbelief.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He roared, coughing up blood repeatedly from his throat due to his overwhelming emotions, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Pei Fengzhi.

"You must be lying to me! Pei Fengzhi, for the sake of the Pei family's fortune, you would actually say such shameless things. You are truly despicable. A shameless person like you is simply not worthy of being the heir of the Pei family. Grandpa was truly blind!"

Pei Fengzhi's voice was calm. He lowered his eyes to look at Madam Pei and said in a deep voice.

"You can check online now. My brother is indeed dead. The plane was passing through a war zone before entering the country and was hit by a missile. It exploded in the air. No one on board could have survived."

"The airline has already published the obituary."

Madam Pei almost took out her phone with trembling hands and searched for news.

Then, she threw her phone down, screamed, covered her face, and burst into tears.

"It's all my fault, it's all because of me!"

“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Grandpa wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to come back, and this wouldn’t have happened.”

"It's all because of me! I'm the one who killed him!"

"..."

Madam Pei clutched her chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

Pei Minghan's eyes were almost bleeding with hatred.

He stood on the pile of scrap in a fit of rage, jumping up and down and cursing Madam Pei, cursing her for ruining his plans, for being too soft-hearted, for not being worthy of being a mother, and for cursing her to die immediately!

Pei Fengzhi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Madam Pei cried her heart out.

Finally, Madam Pei, overwhelmed with emotion, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Pei Minghan's sharp and sarcastic curses still lingered throughout the abandoned factory.

"You bitch! If it weren't for all the trouble you caused, my father would already be the heir to the Pei family!"

"It's all because of you, it's all..."

Ye Ningwan frowned, unable to bear it any longer.

No mother who loves her child should be insulted like this, even if she hates Madam Pei very much.
