Chapter 119
Cui Pei took a deep breath. "Fourth Miss, please go hide in the back to avoid being accidentally hurt. Leave this to me."
Wen Shu's lips trembled as she saw him all alone, and she couldn't help but worry, "Can you manage on your own?"
“It’s nothing,” Cui Pei smiled. “Just a few small fry.”
Cui Pei was thinking that if he brought the instigator back and let the boss vent his anger, he might be able to avoid punishment.
Now that Wen Si Niangzi is in trouble, he has to find someone to take the fall for her!
"Who are you?" Cui Pei picked up the stick and stood still.
He Chang choked, then chuckled maliciously, his lips twitching uncontrollably. In Shanzhou, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
These past few days have been quite an eye-opener; one by one, people have come to their deaths in front of the He family.
"Who am I?" He Chang made a gesture, and more than a dozen servants and thugs simultaneously assumed an attack stance. He put his hands behind his back, "Today I'll show you who I am!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people rushed over in unison. Cui Pei fought them in close combat and held his own.
However, as time goes on, it inevitably becomes difficult to cope with.
You have to hold back so you don't kill him.
Before Cui Pei could react, he was hit twice with a stick. Just as the man was about to smash the stick over his head, a stone suddenly flew through the air and hit his wrist with a sharp 'whoosh,' causing the stick to fall to the ground.
Cui Pei seized the opportunity, kicked the man three zhang away, turned around and looked at the newcomer, and said happily, "Boss! What brings you here?"
Pei Lingjun's face darkened. He quickly threw everyone to the ground, the movement aggravating the injuries he had sustained from the blows. He frowned slightly, ignoring Cui Pei's words, and asked coldly, "The He family again?"
"Yes, I guess the He family doesn't know our identities, otherwise how could they be so presumptuous?"
During the conversation, the people opposite clearly also noticed Pei Lingjun. Someone stepped forward to remind He Chang, "Young master, this is the man who argued with the eldest young lady yesterday. Lord Liang came in person yesterday and didn't give our He family any face. Maybe they have some influence..."
He Chang pressed his burning wound, the scar around his eye contorted in pain, his heart filled with resentment. "Did I suffer this injury for nothing? What Lord Liang? Shanzhou is the domain of the He family. I don't care about Lord Liang or Lord Zhang. Once we're in Shanzhou, they all have to listen to the He family!"
He Chang's brows furrowed. "Arrest them all and take them away. Let's vent our anger for my sister!"
The personal servant directed the thugs, but the men hesitated to make a move when they saw the two people surrounded, their expressions filled with apprehension and fear.
Pei Lingjun's expression was cold and indifferent as he turned to ask, "How is Wen Shu?"
Cui Pei hunched his neck and said, "My hand is injured, but it's not a big problem."
"They're all injured, and you call it not a big deal?" Pei Lingjun chuckled. "Damn the He family!"
Pei Lingjun quickly cleared out the people nearby with a stick, then leaped onto the carriage in a flash, grabbed He Chang by the collar, and shoved him down.
The handkerchief fell to the ground, revealing fresh teeth marks on his arm.
Pei Lingjun was furious and grabbed He Chang by the neck, demanding, "You touched her?!"
Before the people around could react, He Chang was pinned to the ground, his neck being choked and his eyes rolling back in his head.
"Cough...no, I didn't touch it! I just touched it a few times..."
How many times did you touch it? And how many more times did you touch it?
Pei Lingjun gritted his teeth, his hand gripping Pei Lingjun's neck tightening its grip.
