The Pei family's Qingming Festival ancestor worship this year went relatively smoothly, but it was a bit deserted.
Except for Pei Huan who is more outgoing, the rest of the family are rather dull. The old lady is old and doesn't take care of things now. She doesn't entertain guests all year round and doesn't like to go out.
Cui Xueheng's health condition has not been very good recently, and she was in a bad mood. She only went out to worship her ancestors in the ancestral temple, and did not go to sweep the tomb afterwards.
After having lunch at the old house at noon, Pei Yu chatted with Pei Sui for a while, then he received a call from the company and left.
Before Pei Sui received the call from Meng Sheng, Mrs. Pei had just woken up from her lunch break, and Pei Sui was just in time to tell her about himself and Meng Sheng.
He was brought up by the old lady and he always respected her. As his marriage was an important matter, he naturally had to inform her in advance.
If she doesn't agree, then he... will find a way to make her agree.
But just as I started, I was interrupted by the ringing of the cell phone.
After listening to what Meng Sheng said, his expression changed and he immediately agreed. He didn't even have time to say hello to the old lady, and hurried out the door. At the same time, he also called Pei Yu.
But after making two or three calls in a row, the other party showed that they were on the phone.
Pei Sui frowned, his heart tense.
The Pei family's old house is more than ten minutes away from Jiaonan Road. The road is very long, with many intersections leading to all directions. It is bustling with cars and is not deserted.
This road is also the only way to get to Pei’s headquarters group.
It was ten minutes later that Pei Yu's call went through. After listening to Pei Sui's explanation, he frowned while asking the driver to stop the car.
Just after I asked a few questions, a van driving in the opposite direction came from a distance and hit me at a very fast speed.
The sound of "bang" made Pei Sui's ears hurt on the other end of the phone.
Then the phone hung up.
Pei Sui's face darkened and his eyes suddenly became deep and solemn. He knew that something must have happened.
When he dialed again, Pei Yu's number was no longer reachable. He pursed his lips and dialed the police station and 120 numbers again.
Then speed up and head towards Jiaonan Road.
When he arrived, the scene was already in chaos. There were several cars parked around, and the most conspicuous one was probably Pei Yu's Land Rover.
The front of the car was dented and there were signs of knife cuts on the roof.
Pei Sui breathed rapidly and quickly pushed through the group of people outside. The scene inside stunned him.
Pei Yu had a knife wound on his elbow, and blood had stained half of his suit sleeve red.
There was a familiar figure lying on the ground. She had already fainted, but the blood from her abdomen had soaked her white cheongsam.
There was also a middle-aged woman next to him, crying with tears streaming down her face. She covered her wound tightly and kept shouting, "Miss San, Miss San, don't scare me, open your eyes and look at us..."
Pei Sui's gaze fell on the face that was pale and weak, yet full of beauty and elegance.
Gu Ci?
His pupils shrank in shock, he raised his legs and asked with a frown, "Brother, what's going on?"
Pei Yu's face was not looking good at the moment. He glanced at Pei Sui and said, "A van just came and crashed into us without any care. Four or five people got out and chopped the van with knives..."
Unable to stay in the car, he had to get out.
He went back to his old house to worship his ancestors today, so his bodyguard was not with him today. Fortunately, he and the driver had learned some self-defense fighting skills, but the other side had more people and were quite strong, and they had knives in their hands.
Gu Ci's car came at this time, and he noticed it, so Gu Ci rushed over to help him block the knife.
Before I could finish listening to the whole story, the ambulance and police car arrived one after another.
The group went to the hospital, and Pei Sui contacted the Gu family on the way.
After all, this matter cannot be concealed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Gu Ci was taken to the emergency room, but outside the emergency room there was silence and heaviness.
About half an hour later, people from the Gu family came hurriedly. It was obvious from Liu Lingyi's eyes that she had been crying. When she saw the words "Emergency Room", she almost collapsed.
She rushed forward, grabbed Pei Sui's arm and asked, "A Sui, tell me, how is A Ci? Is she okay?"
Pei Sui pursed his lips. He couldn't guarantee anything in this situation, so he could only say, "Aunt Liu, please trust the doctor. Gu Ci will be fine."
Liu Lingyi covered her chest and cried, "If anything happens to Ah Ci, how can I live? She is weak to begin with..."
Father Gu had a dark face. He looked at Pei Yu, then at Pei Sui, and finally at Cao Ma, the nanny who usually took care of Gu Ci.
"What's going on?"
The nanny was about to speak when Pei Yu stepped forward and said, "Uncle Gu, Ah Ci was injured because she was trying to save me."
After hearing this, the Gu family felt as if the breath in their chest was tight and they couldn't get it up or down.
All in all, the Pei family cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. After all, it was Gu Ci who went up to rescue them.
This brief silence was finally broken by the police who arrived to investigate and take notes.

Whether Pei Yu’s crisis had been resolved or what had happened, Meng Sheng, who was worshipping in Jingkang Temple, had no idea.
When she came out of the meditation room after listening to Master Jingwu's class, it was already dark. She looked into the boundless distance, took out her cell phone and checked the time.
She originally wanted to ask Pei Sui about the result, but as soon as she opened WeChat, a text message flashed on the top of her phone.
[Gu Ci was injured while blocking the knife for Pei Yu. She is no longer in danger of death, but her reproductive system was severely damaged and she will never be able to get pregnant. The Gu family asked the Pei family to be responsible for this.]
Gu Ci blocks the knife?
Unable to get pregnant?
Want the Pei family to be responsible?
These important pieces of information came crashing down on Meng Sheng, leaving him a little confused and his eyes wide open in disbelief.
After being shocked, she felt that the coincidence was a little too unbelievable.
Today is Qingming Festival, and Gu Ci is not feeling well, so why would she be at Jiaonan Road at that time?!
She was thinking about the location of the Gu family's old house in her mind. It seemed that there was a fork in Jiaonan Road that did lead to the Gu family's old house.
If it was an accidental coincidence then it would be easy to explain, but what if it wasn't?
Did Gu Ci's appearance on Jiaonan Road mean that she had anticipated that Pei Yu would get into trouble on Jiaonan Road?
So how did she know?
Meng Sheng paused, and suddenly remembered the "precognitive dream" that Gu Ci had told her about before.
Could it be because of a precognitive dream?
