Pei Sui didn't keep them in suspense, "It was Du Ping's nephew, Du Wei, who sent the poison to Du Ping."
Pei Yu frowned slightly. He had met Du Wei a few times and he seemed to be an honest and simple person who was raised by his aunt, Du Ping.
"Source of the information."
These four words are a general reference to asking Pei Sui how he knew Du Ping wanted to harm his mother, and why he made the phone call so promptly.
Because Pei Huan had said that when Pei Sui called, he told his mother not to drink that bowl of medicine.
That bowl of medicine!
These three words are the key.
This shows that Pei Sui knew Du Ping had poisoned the medicine. Even if he found out that Du Ping wanted to harm his mother, it would be impossible for him to know so precisely.
Pei Sui gazed at the clear tea, seemingly lost in thought. The tea room remained quiet for a long time. Although Pei Yu was someone who liked to take the initiative, he was quite patient and did not disturb Pei Sui's consideration.
He knew that Pei Sui must have had something to rely on to make that phone call so accurately that day.
This reminded him of the time when the Chu family sent people to intercept and kill him. It was the same thing; Pei Sui had called him beforehand, knowing he would be in danger on the road and wanting him to avoid it.
But it was too late that time.
Once the funeral is over, the case should be able to be transferred back from abroad.
The ingredients of the medicine still need to be tested, and they will also need to sort out the belongings left behind by Cui Xueheng at the sanatorium.
Pei Sui finished drinking the tea in his cup and reached out his hand.
Pei Yu coldly lifted his eyelids to glance at him, then picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.
Pei Sui withdrew his hand, brought the teacup to his nose and sniffed it gently before speaking slowly, his voice as cold as Pei Yu's, "If Du Ping hadn't made her move, she actually... wouldn't have survived anyway; it was just a matter of time."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yu paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"
“Her medicine contained a slow-acting poison for a long time. I don’t know how long she’d been drinking it.” Pei Sui paused for a moment, then added, “She poisoned it herself.”
Pei Yu's face immediately showed surprise, "What?!"
Pei Sui took a sip of tea. As the younger brother, he actually understood his older brother's personality very well.
Having been raised by his grandfather since childhood and having spent so many years in the business world, Pei Yu is undoubtedly a very sharp and intelligent person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the head of the Pei family, the richest family in Beijing, and the Pei family wouldn't have stood strong for so many years.
Therefore, he didn't make up a story to fool Pei Yu, but he also didn't mention that Meng Sheng had received a text message predicting the future.
After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
Otherwise, it would not be a blessing, but a curse.
"I only found out that day. I don't know the specifics, but the nursing home in Los Angeles should have the answer."
Pei Yu realized that he was avoiding the main issue and did not answer where the information came from.
He raised an eyebrow. Given Asui's personality, after the embarrassing incident at Plum Garden last time, there was absolutely no way he would send someone to Los Angeles to monitor him.
That's completely unnecessary.
There's no need for that.
Moreover, even if it is indeed surveillance, some details are difficult to reconcile logically.
So he ruled out that possibility in his mind.
But he didn't dwell on it. He didn't want to use his business acumen and tactics with his younger brother, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Where is the source of the information? You can't tell me?"
Pei Sui met his gaze without flinching. "Yes."
Pei Yu put down his teacup, fiddled with the tea set on the table, and after a moment of silence, asked casually, "Is this the same source of information you used when the Chu family tried to ambush me last time, and you called me to warn me that the road was dangerous?"
Tsk!
See? You made the connection so quickly.
He said his brother was not easy to fool.
As Pei Sui sipped his tea, he said, "It's not that I'm trying to keep you at bay, it's just... it's really inconvenient to say."
His expression was sincere, his tone was cold, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Pei Yu could tell that this was indeed inconvenient to say.
He didn't intend to press further. Everyone has secrets, and what Asui couldn't say was something that wasn't convenient for others to know.
Seeing that he remained silent, Pei Sui reminded him, "Du Ping's nephew is probably planning to flee. You'd better hurry up."
Pei Yu was a man of action. He immediately put down his tea set, took out his phone, and called his assistant, instructing him to find Du Wei and temporarily detain him, as he would need to hand him over to the police in a few days.
Upon hearing this order, Sansuke immediately put down what he was doing and went to find someone.
Pei Yu's three assistants are all graduates of prestigious universities, and they are outstanding in both ability and appearance. In particular, the general assistant is a scion of a famous family from another province.
Apart from the second assistant Lang Jiayu, who is more outgoing and talkative due to his responsibilities and interactions with people, the general assistant Xue Ying and the third assistant Fu Yan are both aloof and unapproachable.
After explaining everything, Pei Yu put down his phone and looked at the person across from him who was leisurely sipping tea.
She coldly dismissed him, saying, "Now that we've finished talking, you can leave. I'm going to get some sleep."
"..."
Pei Sui stared at him speechlessly, but didn't say a word.
The meaning is quite clear: you're actually kicking me out?!
Pei Yu remained unmoved.
Pei Sui was the first to look away, and said calmly, "You can sleep as you please, I'm not stopping you."
This tea is really good. He plans to have two more cups and then take two packets home with him.
Pei Yu narrowed his eyes. "You want to steal my tea leaves."
This is an affirmative statement.
Seeing Pei Sui's relaxed expression and the way his brows unfurrowed, he guessed it.
Upon hearing this, Pei Sui frowned immediately. "Steal? The definition of that word is that it carries legal consequences."
This is the rigor of a lawyer.
Pei Yu gave him a cool glance. "Isn't that right?"
“Taking my own things doesn’t count as stealing. Besides, you already know that I took them before I did, so it doesn’t constitute the definition of ‘stealing’.”
Pei Yu snorted coldly, "As a lawyer, you're resorting to sophistry and twisting the facts. It's a miracle you haven't been delisted."
Pei Sui ignored his words and casually pointed to the cabinet, "I want those two packets, and also a packet of the Snow Moon Flower Time drink I'm drinking now."
Pei Yu's face darkened. "Get out!"
Pei Sui slightly lifted his eyelids, and four words floated in his eyes, which gleamed with a dark light—So stingy?
It does not exist.
Although he knew he would most likely end up on his older brother's teahouse blacklist, it didn't matter. After finishing those three cups of tea, it would be easy for him to get in.
He slowly got up, took down the two teas he liked from the cabinet in front of Pei Yu, then walked to the cabinet behind Pei Yu and took the last brand-new package of Xueyuehua Shi. Without looking back, he turned around and left the tea room.
Pei Yu: "..."
Oh.
If he weren't afraid of losing face, he would have called the police.
They're taking advantage of tea leaves, and they do it with such confidence!
That's really shameless!
Very well, Pei Yu is angry.
But can he still chase after them and get the tea leaves back?
That's obviously not possible.
So, in a fit of anger, he could only sulk for a moment, then take a deep breath, drink the last sip of tea in his cup, get up, leave the tea room, and go back to his room to sleep.
