Chapter 345 The Handsome Man Scheme
Su Xi poured him a cup of coffee and said softly, "Besides, I'm fine this time, so please don't be angry, okay?"
Feng Jingnian sat down without saying a word and checked Su Xi from head to toe. After confirming that she was really alright, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still didn't say anything.
His face wasn't cold, nor was the air thin; he even smiled gently, but Su Xi knew that this matter wouldn't be so easily forgotten.
Her fingers twitched slightly, and she lowered her eyes.
“Years have passed, and you’re making me feel suffocated. I even feel like someone is watching me and spying on me when I go to the bathroom.”
I only did this because I was absolutely certain there was no danger.
Su Xi's guilty look deeply touched a chord in Feng Jingnian's heart.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. My method of protecting you was indeed wrong, and I shouldn't have sacrificed your freedom under any circumstances. I will try my best to improve in the future, but... but it would be best to give me a little hint first. I respect your choice 100%, and if you don't want me to follow, I will absolutely not send anyone to follow you."
Su Xi looked up and met the man's deep, gentle eyes. She pursed her lips and nodded emphatically, "Okay."

Pei Yun Shen thought he would have to stay in the dark room for at least a few more weeks, and that he would not see any light for at least a few weeks. Unexpectedly, just after noon, the door to the dark room was opened.
Pei Yun Shen acted instinctively.
My anus tightened.
"What's going on? I've been released? Are you kidding me? I escaped from prison..."
As Pei Yunshen spoke, his eyes were full of vigilance, his hands gripping the door frame, his buttocks sticking out firmly behind him.
But he was still dragged out.
Despair filled the depths of Pei Yun Shen's eyes, and a heart-wrenching scream echoed from the depths of his heart, "No—"
It looks so desolate; background music should be playing here, with snowflakes falling...
The prison guard fanned himself and looked at him with an idiot's gaze, "You're still enjoying yourself in that stinking place, aren't you?"
As you wish, you will remain here, but you need to come out and answer a phone call.
What? Pei Yun Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but was still stunned. Her pale face was filled with great confusion.
Logically, since he had just made a mistake and was put in solitary confinement, he shouldn't be allowed to answer any phone calls.
It's clear that the person who called him has very powerful connections, powerful enough to make them change the rules.
Pei Yun Shen was already terrified by all sorts of unexpected setbacks, so he subconsciously felt that this phone call was bound to be bad news.
Entering the telephone booth with trepidation, Pei Yunshen discovered that the caller ID showed an overseas call.
Pei Yun Shen was stunned again.
I was shoved hard from behind. "Hurry up, stop dawdling like a girl."
Another chimed in, "Yeah, you were such a tough guy when you first came in. You haven't gotten a taste for it yet, have you?"
"Hahaha, it's true what they say: a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, and a person won't grow shaggy if they're not disciplined. Once you're here, no matter where you're from in the country, we'll all assume you're from Chengdu, hahaha..."
Pei Yun Shen was naturally extremely annoyed by these undisguised taunts.
But what troubled and worried him the most was that phone call.
What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.
Pei Yun Shen could only sit down and answer the phone.
Hello.
A commanding and sophisticated voice came from the other end, "Pei Yun Shen, I know you want Feng Jue to help you, and I can help you. Just say the word, and Feng Jue himself will come to visit you in prison immediately and will absolutely guarantee your safety."
Pei Yun Shen was immediately very tempted.
He's currently imprisoned, and it wouldn't be difficult for Luo Anya to kill him without knowing why.
Perhaps she was the one who orchestrated John's affair.
The act of going against the man's wishes has already happened; how long will it take for him to meet his tragic end?
But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Could there be some huge conspiracy involved?
Pei Yun Shen was struggling with his decision when the person opposite him added lightly,
"Including your innocence."
Without hesitation, Pei Yunshen agreed, "Okay. What do I need to do?"
With both innocence and life guaranteed, what's there to hesitate about?
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Even if this phone call is a trap, he'll accept it.
A laugh came from the other end. "Mr. Pei, you're very straightforward. Don't worry, you and I are separated by oceans, we have no grudges against each other, and our current transaction is simply a mutually beneficial arrangement. But..."
The voice on the other end suddenly turned sinister, neither too loud nor too soft, yet chilling: "If you mess things up, your fate will be ten thousand times, a billion times worse than it is now. I will make you wish to be reduced to ashes rather than be reborn as a human."
Pei Yun Shen shivered instantly, goosebumps rising all over his body, but he still said earnestly, "Don't worry, I'm already in this situation, you are my lifeline. I will definitely do my best to serve you wholeheartedly and without any ulterior motives."
"You'd better keep your word." After saying that, the other person lowered their voice and explained what had happened.
Pei Yun Shen listened intently, his eyes darting around, his fists unconsciously clenching and kneading.
His eyes were as deep and dark as a black hole that could devour everything.
However, after the other person finished speaking, Pei Yun Shen immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
The two exchanged a few more words, and after Pei Yunshen hung up the phone, he made another call.
Of course, even if he were an ordinary prisoner, let alone in his current solitary confinement, he wouldn't be allowed to make phone calls anymore. After all, the number of phone calls allowed each month is strictly limited.
Therefore, the authority to make this phone call is beyond doubt, and it was once again arranged by that mysterious person from across the ocean.
Liu Cheng frowned when he saw Pei Yun Shen's call.
If it were before, he would have been 100% certain that Pei Yun Shen's phone call was through him to convey something to the big boss.
Unfortunately, he had just seen a media release about Pei Yun Shen being raped.
So, Pei Yun Shen wouldn't be trying to offer himself up to me, using his good looks to get me to do something for him, would he?
Instantly, goosebumps started falling all over his body as if they were free.
Undoubtedly, Pei Yun Shen's looks are still very striking, possessing a kind of feminine beauty.
She has an innate, subtle, and ethereal quality.
Unfortunately, he spends every day with the incredibly handsome and ethereal big boss, so he's almost completely immune to any kind of beauty, whether male or female.
He doesn't even look at ordinary women.
Top-tier women naturally require top-tier dowries.
This is also why he hasn't saved enough money to get married yet.
Of course, these thoughts were just fleeting, and he answered the phone on the second ring.
After all, he had to answer the call if there was even the slightest possibility that it was related to the big boss.
"What is it? Speak quickly." Liu Cheng's tone was not friendly.
Pei Yun Shen suddenly gripped the phone tightly, afraid that Liu Cheng might hang up on him in a fit of anger. If the mission wasn't completed, what would become of him...?
So Pei Yun Shen instinctively raised his voice, "Brother Liu~"
"What the hell?" Just those two words made Liu Cheng so disgusted he almost wanted to cut his ear off.
After reading the news report, he assumed Pei Yunshen was forced. He hadn't expected him to act so rudely right off the bat; whether it was voluntary or forced was now unknown.
"Pei Yun Shen, show some manly spirit and speak properly, or I'm hanging up."
"Alright, Assistant Liu, I have something I'd like to ask you to pass on to President Feng."
This "General Manager Feng" naturally refers to Feng Jue.
Liu Cheng only uttered one word: "Speak."
So Pei Yunshen succinctly and clearly recounted the events.
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng paused, his eyes flashing with complex and ever-changing emotions.
Are you telling the truth?
"Of course it's true, otherwise how do you think I would know such a private matter?"
Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment. That matter had always been a secret investigation. So secret that even Su Xi didn't know it existed, so...
"Okay, I understand." Liu Cheng hung up the phone and immediately got up to go to the president's office.
As expected, after hearing Liu Cheng's report, Feng Jue put down his work and went straight to the prison.
Pei Yun Shen returned to the small dark room, and before he could even sit down properly, the iron door was opened again, and blinding light shone in.
Pei Yunshen's gaze deepened. Feng Jue had arrived much earlier than he had expected. This showed how important this matter was to him.
He might be able to use this as an excuse to get Feng Jue to bail him out, avenge him, and eliminate that wicked woman Luo Anya. He might even give her a large sum of money that she could never spend in her lifetime, allowing her to continue living a carefree life as a playboy abroad.
Throughout the journey, Pei Yun Shen's smile was harder to suppress than an AK. He was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling.
As expected of President Feng, the meeting room where he was received was the largest and brightest.
Thinking that he was once just as rich, powerful, handsome, and talented as Feng Jue, but all of that was ruined by that filthy slut Luo Anya, he wished he could rush out and sell that damned woman to Las Vegas, let her be ridden by thousands and crushed by tens of thousands, and finally turn her into a human pig.
"President Feng, it's been a long time. I can tell you everything I know about that matter, but you have to promise me a few things."
Feng Jue sneered, "You have no bargaining chips with me now. Tell me everything you know, and I will naturally guarantee your safety. Otherwise, I have 100 ways to make you obediently tell me."
A man as deep and calculating as Pei Yun Shen would never reveal everything he knows without reservation.
Moreover, he had a premonition that there was a bigger fish behind him, so it was necessary to keep his life.
Upon hearing Feng Jue's words, Pei Yun Shen's heart sank. The more lofty his ideals were just moments before, the harsher the reality became.
However, he knew Feng Jue's personality better than anyone. He said there were 100 ways to get him to tell the truth, and Feng Jue naturally believed him without a doubt.
For example, he's currently in debt with a mountain of romantic entanglements. He's even heard that the prisoners have started lining up and are even dueling for him to get the front number... It's an eyesore just thinking about it.
So if he doesn't obediently confess and instead tries to blackmail him with bargaining, Feng Jue only needs one sentence to make those troublemakers pierce him with a thousand arrows.
He will become the target of public criticism.
Chrysanthemums wither and fall, leaving only sorrow on the ground; the fallen petals break one's heart.
Pei Yun Shen shuddered violently, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and said directly, "I know you've been looking for a savior. You were three years old at the time, and the girl who saved you must have been three years older than you, six years old."
Feng Jue's face remained expressionless, but the fingers at his sides slowly clenched.
The little girl, who was three years older than him, not only saved his life, but should also know about his background.
After all, such a harrowing kidnapping should leave a lasting memory for a 6-year-old girl.
Pei Yun Shen didn't know whether what the mysterious man told him was true or false. After saying these words, he looked up at Feng Jue, wanting to see his reaction, but instead met a pair of hawk-like eyes.
Pei Yun Shen shuddered and continued obediently, "I also know that you gave that little girl a peace pendant to thank her."
Feng Jue finally couldn't help but speak up, "Get to the point."
He wanted to know where the little girl was and who she was.
"That's all I can remember. If I remember anything else in the future, I'll definitely tell you as soon as possible."
Only by saying this would Feng Jue be reluctant to let him die and would protect him like a precious gem.
Feng Jue smiled slightly.
In Pei Yun Shen's eyes, that smile was bloodthirsty and cruel, as if a sharp knife was hanging over his throat, ready to splatter blood on the spot at any moment.
Pei Yunshen trembled a few times like a sieve, and could only follow the mysterious person's instructions and immediately said, "I heard all of this from someone when I was on a business trip to Z country and I had drunk too much. That person's surname is Ren."
Later, after much thought, I became quite certain that person's name was Ren Xingheng.
Ren Xingheng?
Feng Jue's eyes deepened. He had a photographic memory; he could remember the name and appearance of anyone he met in business after just one meeting.
He remembered Ren Xingheng's name perfectly, down to the number of hairs on his body and the stubble on his face.
Isn't this the same man who shamelessly danced with Su Xi a few times?
What a coincidence!
Pei Yunshen chuckled awkwardly, "President Feng, that's all I can think of right now."
Feng Jue chuckled lightly, "You don't need to think about it. I'll naturally find that guy surnamed Ren and get to the bottom of this."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yun Shen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. So, he's no longer of any use to him?
Before Pei Yun Shen could say anything, Feng Jue said coldly, "Don't worry, I will protect your life."
He wanted to keep him alive to lure out the big fish behind him.
The real big fish are always hidden behind the scenes.
It shouldn't be Ren Xingheng, whose identity has already been revealed.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yun Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of color visibly returned to his lifeless face.
Feng Jue never does anything that doesn't benefit him, nor has he ever been a philanthropist. Since he promised to protect his safety, there must be some value he can still utilize in him.
He quickly said, "President Feng, I am guilty, but it was all because that bitch Luo Anya lured me into doing this. She's the mastermind. I'm serving a life sentence, shouldn't she be eating peanuts?"
The mere mention of that bitch Luo Anya sent a surge of anger through Pei Yunshen's body. He wouldn't die happy unless he dragged Luo Anya down with him.
"You want me to make Luo Anya pay the price?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Pei Yun Shen nodded vigorously, his face beaming with smiles.
But the moment he met Feng Jue's icy gaze, the smile on his face abruptly vanished.
Feng Jue scoffed, "You think I'm that idle?"
Perhaps having obtained some information from the little girl, the man seemed to be in a fairly good mood.
He glanced subtly behind Pei Yun Shen, his tone sarcastic.
"I didn't open your back door."
In an instant, Pei Yun Shen's face turned black then green, then green then white, then white then blue, his whole face looking as ugly as if he had just been dug out of a grave.
