Chapter 65 Thoroughly Dealing with the Pei Family
Hongdu is one of the top-tier upscale venues, with private rooms where the cost starts at four figures per hour. From the carpets underfoot to the wallpaper and murals that you can casually glance at, everything is polished and exudes an air of luxury.
Pei Gaosheng and Zhang Wenxiu had never been to a place like this before.
Pei Ming was even more eager; if the manager hadn't been there with him, he would have wanted to take the painting down and examine it closely.
Pei Gaosheng tugged at Pei Ming's clothes, and he immediately understood. The father and son were both arrogant and determined not to be looked down upon.
Little did they know that the manager standing to the side was filled with disdain.
Zhang Wenxiu was always alert, and she felt somewhat uneasy.
Before they arrived, they knew that the person they were going to meet was Pei Wu's superior, who said that Pei Wu was in the hospital and that he would come to discuss the relevant compensation.
On the way, Pei Gaosheng was extremely excited: "So what if I'm a Beta? How could my offspring be bad? If I didn't like them, what busy boss would help his subordinates with such trivial matters?"
Pei Ming's eyes lit up: "Dad, can that big boss compensate for the car's cost?"
"He has to pay!" Pei Gaosheng said fiercely. "Since he's standing up for Pei Wu, he can't just leave without any compensation, can he? Not only does he have to pay, but if he wants to be with Pei Wu, he also has to take responsibility for our whole family!"
Zhang Wenxiu stopped Pei Gaosheng from making irrelevant remarks, but she herself had similar thoughts to some extent.
After their conversation that day, Pei Wu didn't answer a single one of her calls. Zhang Wenxiu thought this kid was really stubborn. She had been under too much pressure and lost her mind back then, but in the end, she didn't actually smother him to death.
The door to the private room opened, and Lu Xiwen was turning his teacup. Hearing the noise, he lifted his eyelids and gave a cold, indifferent glance. Behind him stood Lan Zhe, who stood tall and slender.
"Oh, hello big boss." Pei Gaosheng hunched his shoulders and bowed repeatedly, which made Lan Zhe frown slightly.
How could Pei Wu, such a virtuous and upright person, have such a family?
"Please sit down," Lu Xiwen said.
Pei Gaosheng pulled Pei Ming to sit down, completely ignoring Zhang Wenxiu. It was only after Zhang Wenxiu tentatively sat down on the edge of the chair a few times that she finally managed to get a seat.
"Boss, where is my Pei Wu?"
"He's in the hospital," Lu Xiwen said. "He suddenly differentiated and is now an Omega."
Pei Gaosheng's eyes widened instantly, and after a moment his facial muscles began to twitch wildly, making his face look like a piece of rotten flesh whose nerves were not yet dead.
At this moment, his brain, which had been ruined by alcohol, began to spin rapidly, and Lan Zhe could even see greed materialize in this man's eyes.
Pei Gaosheng rubbed his hands together, his dry lips turning red, and he finally spoke: "Big boss, may I ask if you have taken a fancy to my Pei Wu?"
“Yes,” Lu Xiwen said. “I am his Alpha.”
"You want to be my older brother's Alpha?" Pei Ming stood up excitedly. "How much money are you going to give my family?"
Zhang Wenxiu also looked up expectantly.
But Lu Xiwen's eyes were deep and dark, like the silent yet turbulent sea at night.
Pei Wu had a nightmare a few nights ago, and she kept calling out intermittently, "Don't do this, I don't want treatment anymore..."
"Mom, let go..."
After Lu Xiwen provided pheromones three times, Pei Wu gradually calmed down.
At this moment, when these people heard that Pei Wu had differentiated again, they were not thinking about how their son had passed the optimal age for differentiation and was an Omega, whose physical and mental pain was several times that of a normal person. Instead, they were thinking about how much money they could get from him.
Lu Xiwen was unwilling to waste any more words, "I want you to sever all ties with Pei Wu."
"That won't do." Pei Gaosheng was like a mangy dog that had bitten him. He knew that Lu Xiwen was rich and that he had heard that the cars he drove were worth tens of millions. He was already prepared to become a member of a wealthy family.
Maybe Pei Wu wanted to shake them off. Pei Gaosheng snorted coldly, "Big boss, Pei Wu is my son, so he has to be filial to me. If you are his Alpha, hehe, then you should understand."
“I understand,” Lu Xiwen leaned forward. “It’s you who don’t understand.”
Pei Gaosheng: "What?"
Lan Zhe threw a stack of documents in front of them.
Pei Gaosheng and Pei Ming thought it was some kind of property transfer agreement, so they excitedly opened it. But after reading for only two seconds, their expressions changed drastically.
Lan Zhe said indifferently, "Pei Gaosheng, two years ago, there was an explosion at the auto repair shop where you worked. You were hospitalized for three months and received 390,000 yuan in compensation. In reality, you and someone else stole parts from the company and sold them. Later, fearing that you would be discovered, you took the risk of blowing up the warehouse. However, you did it well and it was never discovered."
“During this period, you illegally profited a total of 61,000 yuan. I calculated that with all these crimes combined, you could be sentenced to 20 years in prison.”
Lan Zhe then looked at Pei Ming, "You're even more interesting. Theft and robbery, although your mother came forward to compensate you and settle the matter, that's because the evidence wasn't sent to the police station. Three days before the car accident, you forcibly marked an Omega in the alley behind Ninghai Vocational High School. You wanted money to settle this matter, but unfortunately, you're an adult. According to the Omega Protection Law, the minimum age is five years."
Pei Gaosheng interrupted sharply: "Impossible! You forged all of these!"
Lan Zhe scoffed, "Are you an idiot? Your partner isn't dead, and he has a bunch of chat and transfer records. It's not hard to investigate."
Pei Gaosheng: "Is he crazy to tell you all this?!"
“I gave him two million and promised that this matter would not implicate him,” Lu Xiwen said calmly.
Under Pei Gaosheng's horrified gaze, Lu Xiwen said, "Yes, I'd rather give him two million than give you a single penny."
This was completely different from what he had imagined before coming. Pei Ming jumped up with a "Ahhh!" but instantly knelt down on the ground, his whole body convulsing violently, just like he was having a stroke.
"Don't be nervous," Lan Zhe said. "It's just a pheromone attack. It's okay if you lose control of your bladder. Someone will come and clean up after you in a bit."
Zhang Wenxiu was already pale with fright. "Help! Murder!"
Lan Zhe: "Madam, the soundproofing in this private room is excellent; you can't hear anything from outside."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenxiu scrambled towards Lu Xiwen, resorting to the same three tactics as always: frantically kowtowing, begging for mercy, and slapping herself in the face.
In her mind, a junior cannot bear the sight of an elder kowtowing. Even though Lu Xiwen wanted to be with Pei Wu, she would still be wary. But even when blood was flowing from her forehead, Lu Xiwen could only quietly admire her.
Zhang Wenxiu suddenly paused, slowly raising her head. The Alpha's eyes were cold and indifferent, as if she weren't even a living being.
In a top-tier worldview, there are only territories, expulsion, and plunder. If these people weren't related to Pei Wu by blood, Lu Xiwen would have had far too many ways to make them disappear without a trace.
Zhang Wenxiu finally realized how naive their ideas were.
"What...what do you want us to do?" Zhang Wenxiu was trembling all over. "Please let us go...please..."
"Didn't I already say that?" Lu Xiwen said, "From now on, don't bother Pei Wu anymore, and then leave Hongdu. Throwing tantrums won't work on me. If it weren't for Pei Wu..."
Lu Xiwen gave a soft snort.
Zhang Wenxiu understood his unfinished words, and she almost fainted.
“Make a scene once, and you’ll go in.” Lu Xiwen said calmly, “Trust me, once you’re in, you won’t get out. And I think for people like you, it’s better to live a miserable life than to die.”
Zhang Wenxiu collapsed to the ground.
