Chapter 57: Sending Pei Hengzhi abroad? ...
The phone call was abruptly ended.
The room fell silent.
After nearly three minutes of silence, the man who had taken off his white coat couldn't help but scratch his cheek. "Young Master Pei, I've finished everything you asked me to do, so I'll be going now..."
Just as he was about to leave, Pei Hengzhi suddenly called out to him, "Liu Yishou."
"Is there anything else, Young Master Pei?"
"How many people can you call now?"
…………
It takes only fifteen minutes to drive from the hospital to Xinghe Bay, where Pei Hengzhi lives.
Fifteen minutes later, hearing the roar of engines approaching from afar, Pei Hengzhi excitedly gripped his phone tightly, "They're here."
Luo Yunqing finally took the initiative to come and find him!
The sound of the engine grew closer and closer, along with my rapidly rising heartbeat, until it reached the outside of the villa.
Boom!
First came a loud bang.
The others in the room, some lighting cigarettes, some yawning... were all stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Liu Yishou got up and walked to the French windows. He lifted the curtains and first saw a pair of high-beam headlights.
I instinctively shielded my eyes with my hand, and after my eyes adjusted, I looked out again. A Mercedes was coming towards me, with half a metal door hanging from its body, dragging along the ground and sparks flying from the friction.
"Depend on!"
Seeing that the car not only did not slow down but instead stepped on the gas, Liu Yishou immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly moved away from the window.
Just as I took a few steps back, the tightly closed villa door was violently flung open, causing the crystal chandelier inside to sway back and forth.
Liu Yishou retreated even further, gripping the spiral staircase handrail and swallowing hard.
No wonder Pei Hengzhi told him to call more people; if it were just the two of them, who knows who would get into trouble with whom.
But then again, why would Pei Hengzhi provoke such a ruthless person?
"Second Aunt's entrance was quite unique," Pei Hengzhi said, still smiling despite the house being smashed up.
Luo Yunqing opened the car door and got out. Looking past him at the child on the sofa in the distance who hadn't woken up despite all the commotion, she narrowed her eyes for a moment: "What did you do to him?"
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything." Pei Hengzhi maintained a smile throughout. "He's my lifesaver."
As long as this weakness is exploited, Luo Yunqing will not dare to act rashly.
"I didn't do anything." Before anyone around could recover from the sudden turn of events, Luo Yunqing strode forward, grabbed his collar, her eyes bloodshot. "I didn't do anything, he's still not awake!"
"I was given some anesthetic." Liu let go of the stair railing and coughed to explain, "I slept for a few hours and then woke up on my own."
"That's a child!" Luo Yunqing tightened her grip again, almost grabbing Pei Hengzhi and lifting him up. "How dare you!"
"It's just an anesthetic, why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Hengzhi looked up and carefully examined the person who was so close to him.
Those eyes were just like when they first met, always staring at him without any attempt to hide it.
What exactly did he do that caused such outrage and resentment?
Pei Hengzhi involuntarily raised his hand hanging at his side, about to grasp the hand that was clutching his collar, but Luo Yunqing suddenly let go and flung him back into his wheelchair.
"It was nothing more than anesthetic drugs." Luo Yunqing used almost all her strength to enunciate these words, her breath trembling. "The nurse said you specifically asked, you knew that Xiaoyu needed a kidney transplant! And you still used the drugs! Pei Hengzhi, Pei Hengzhi, you deserve to die!"
"I deserve to die? And what about you!" Pei Hengzhi retorted, "You've ruined me like this, don't you deserve to die?"
He pushed his wheelchair back a few steps and turned to the sofa: "But... I can never stand up again."
"Where's the evidence?!"
“There’s no evidence, but no one else could be involved but you.” He gripped the handrail tightly, breathing heavily. “I don’t blame you. Even now, I haven’t told anyone. I was so worried about you, afraid that Mother would pin this on you, but what did you do? You turned around and knitted a sweater for your second uncle, had a snowball fight with him, your heart and eyes were only for him! You were laughing so happily…”
This is what he can't stand.
How can he do all this with a clear conscience? And continue to be all lovey-dovey with his second uncle? He should feel guilty, he should make it up to him!
Luo Yun put his hands on his hips and took several deep breaths: "The trending topics on the first day of the Lunar New Year were your doing."
“Yes! I’m building momentum for you!” Pei Hengzhi touched the wound on his head that hadn’t scabbed over yet, “but you don’t know what’s good for you.”
Does he not know?
Who in the Pei family would dare to smash him?
Besides him, Luo Yunqing!
"I'm ungrateful? Yes, I'm ungrateful." Luo Yunqing was almost laughing in anger. "If you have grievances or hatred, come at me! Why did you arrest Xiaoyu!"
"I can't find you." She was either clinging to her second uncle or taking care of the child. "Only by doing this can I get you to come to me on your own."
"Now that I'm here, what do you want?" Luo Yunqing glanced around, estimating there were eight people. "Want to pay double?"
“How could that be?” Pei Hengzhi stiffly raised the corners of his mouth.
How could he bear to hurt him? He likes him too much to even think about it.
"I need you to change my dressing." He tilted his head and pointed to the gauze and ointment on the coffee table. "This couldn't be simpler for you, right?"
"Change your dressing, then give Xiaoyu back to me."
“Okay,” Pei Hengzhi readily agreed.
Watching him compromise for the sake of that child, slowly walking over step by step until he reached the coffee table, bent down and picked up the gauze.
“Pei Hengzhi.” Luo Yunqing slowly pulled off the gauze, coldly glancing at the bald man holding a dagger to Xiaoyu. “You said you called me to come alone, but you didn’t say I shouldn’t notify the others.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
Pei Hengzhi's face turned pale instantly. "You called the police!"
The white gauze was thrown into the air. Luo Yunqing kicked over the wheelchair, turned around and ran to the sofa, picking up Xiaoyu in one arm.
"You motherfucker, you dare call the police!" The bald man next to the sofa suddenly revealed malice in his eyes and raised his dagger.
Before Pei Hengzhi could even get up, he hurriedly scolded, "Don't hurt him!"
Unfortunately, his words had no effect in such a chaotic situation.
The dagger stabbed straight down.
Luo Yunqing raised her hand to block, but the sharp blade slashed her sleeve, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Luo Yunqing!" Pei Hengzhi almost roared.
The man showed no fear and subtly raised the corners of his mouth at him.
He soon understood the meaning behind that smile.
"Xiao Luo!"
Pei Yanli rushed over with the police, still holding her cell phone which was on a call.
What shocked Pei Hengzhi even more was his legs.
"Second Uncle's leg is healed!"
Pei Yanli, leaning on her cane, paused briefly beside him before raising her cane to knock the dagger from the bald man's hand and embracing Luo Yunqing.
"husband."
"Let's go to the hospital first."
Pei Yanli quickly stopped his bleeding, helped him up and walked out, without looking at Pei Hengzhi again.
"Second Uncle!"
“Young Master still has the strength to call me Second Uncle.” Chen Zhao said with his hands behind his back, looking down at him, “This matter will not be left like this.”
Including Liu Yishou and Pei Hengzhi, a total of nine people were taken away by the police on charges of human trafficking.
Upon receiving the news, Pei Wenxian felt dizzy and fainted from anger at his son who was always causing trouble.
In less than a night, in addition to human trafficking, several more charges were added, including but not limited to intentional injury and defamation.
Pei Wenxian had just woken up when he heard that Pei Yanli was determined to appeal.
"He insisted on going racing, fell off a cliff, and then tried to pin the blame on Xiao Luo!"
"To get revenge on Xiao Luo, we'll kidnap the child!"
“Father, you want me to let him go for the sake of our family, but do you know that the child was supposed to have a kidney transplant today? He's currently under anesthesia and his body isn't up to standard, so it has to be postponed. If I let Xiaoheng go, what will happen to the child? Not to mention, Xiao Luo also had to undergo surgery.”
He tolerated the car accident because there was no evidence. He also turned a blind eye to Lu Weixu out of consideration for family. But now that she's pointing a knife at Xiao Luo, can he still tolerate it?
"No matter what you say today, I will not back down another step." Pei Yanli's attitude was extremely firm.
The various charges brought against Pei Hengzhi, including just the charge of human trafficking, are enough to sentence him to more than ten years in prison.
"Ten years, will Xiao Heng still be alive?" Wang Manshu's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down, tightly gripping Pei Wenxian. "Xiao Heng's legs are already crippled, he can't stand up, he can't go in."
"If we don't go in and let him off lightly, will he think it's not a big deal? He'll just find another opportunity to make a move next time!" Pei Yanli didn't give them any face at all and refuted them on the spot.
Wang Manshu's face turned pale, and she quickly tugged at Pei Wenxian, urging him to speak.
“This is indeed Xiao Heng’s fault.” Pei Wenxian had no way to deny it after being caught red-handed by the police. “But ten years, isn’t that too long?”
Pei Yanli narrowed her eyes slightly: "Then what does Elder Brother mean?"
"We will take full responsibility for all expenses of the child who needs a kidney transplant, including all subsequent treatments," Pei Wenxian said sincerely. "As for Luo Yunqing, I will personally apologize to him."
"Is Big Brother planning to completely strip Xiao Heng of her title?"
Pei Wenxian lowered his head even further. "Second brother, he is my only child, and now he's turned into this. I beg you... please, for my sake, let him go."
"Let him go." Pei Yanli slowly stood up, leaning on her cane, and couldn't help but wonder, "Wasn't I enough?"
It doesn't matter how they harm him, as long as they don't set their sights on Luo Yunqing!
"Second brother." Seeing that he was determined, Wang Manshu simply knelt down. "What happened before was our fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It was me. It was all my fault. Xiao Heng is already in this state. He can't go to jail."
…………
"If he can't go to jail, we'll send him abroad?" Luo Yunqing withdrew her hand after half of the gauze was being removed. "Is this the price he paid for preventing Xiaoyu from having surgery?"
“I will have people watching him,” Pei Yanli assured him, “so that he will never have the chance to return to the country again.”
Luo Yunqing reached out her hand, but dodged it again and turned her back.
They were clearly dissatisfied with the outcome.
However, "Even if my brother tries to pull some strings, he can't get a ten-year sentence. Although it's charged with human trafficking, the authorities will just escalate it to attempted trafficking."
Pei Yanli also knew that he and Xiaoyu had been wronged by this matter. "Big brother signed an agreement to cover all of Xiaoyu's expenses during his surgery and hospitalization, and to provide financial assistance to him until he turns eighteen."
"Who wants his money! I can raise Xiaoyu too!" Luo Yunqing's eyes reddened with anger, and she pushed him away.
“I know you can take care of him.” Pei Yanli pursed her lips and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. “Since they’re offering compensation… we might as well take it. Okay, stop crying. Didn’t the hospital send out a notice that they’ll schedule Xiaoyu’s surgery again in a week?”
"I'm not going."
Luo Yunqing shook his head repeatedly. Xiaoyu had suffered this undeserved misfortune entirely because of him.
"Are you really not going?"
Pei Yanli opened the message on her phone, and her soft, sweet voice immediately came out: "Brother Xiao Luo, when are you coming tomorrow~"
