Fu Wanning steadied herself and mustered her courage to speak loudly, "You were sent by Pei Guangzong, weren't you? I'm warning you, don't ruin yourselves for that scumbag. Do you think you can mess with me, Fu Wanning?"
“Pei Guangzong is nothing but a usurper, a fake young master who has taken over my own brother’s identity and status. Do you think you can get paid for working for him? Cui Hailu has squandered all of the Pei family’s money. You won’t get any benefits because something big is about to happen to the Pei family soon.”
“My great-uncle Pei Shengtao has been exonerated and returned to the city. If she knew I had been wronged, would you all be okay with that?”
The thugs thought Fu Wanning was just trying to scare them. "She's just a university professor. What's there to be afraid of? Unlike the Pei family, who work for the government, Old Madam Pei and her son-in-law are from a branch of a lower-ranking family. In particular, the Pei family's son-in-law is an agent of the Pigeon Tail Society. Of course, I'd choose to help him."
“As long as the Pei family acknowledges Pei Guangzong, then Pei Guangzong is the true young master of the Pei family. You, a daughter of the Pei family, are like an orphan. You are not even worthy of being given the Pei surname. We would be stupid to believe your nonsense.”
Fu Wanning's attempt to intimidate them by mentioning her great-grandfather failed, so she took a deep breath and brought up her brother and sister-in-law's status, saying, "They're just from a collateral branch of a lower-five aristocratic family. Do you even know who my sister-in-law is?"
The thugs didn't take it seriously, their attitude extremely disdainful. "Who else could it be? Tell me, these days no one can scare me..."
Fu Wanning cleared her throat, forcing a fierce look, "My sister-in-law is Gu Wanwan, the granddaughter of a meritorious member of the Gu family, the head of the five great families in Beijing. My older brother, Fu Jingchen, is her fiancé and a regimental commander in the army. If you touch me, believe me, my brother and sister-in-law will throw you in jail and make you eat peanuts. My sister-in-law and brother are not to be trifled with. You should think carefully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs were indeed stunned.
Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen's illustrious names had long been known throughout Beijing's elite circles; they were feared spies and nemesis to enemy agents.
Through their efforts, they not only eliminated human trafficking dens and corrupt officials, but also became a force to be reckoned with by the five lower-ranking families.
That man was also extremely eccentric; he didn't even spare his own aunt and uncle.
Not long ago, the two of them joined forces with a special department to raid the home of Zhao Lao's son-in-law, a member of the Fifth Generation Zhao family, without even giving Zhao Lao any face.
In short, you can't afford to offend Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen, otherwise you're just asking for trouble!
Now they're telling them that Fu Wanning is Gu Wanwan's sister-in-law and Fu Jingchen's younger sister? This joke has gone way too far!
Fu Wanning hadn't expected her brother and sister-in-law's reputation to be so effective, instantly intimidating the thugs. Her courage grew, and she said, "If you have the guts, come and arrest me. Who dies is uncertain, but if I'm not having a good time, you won't be living either!"
The thug hesitated, unsure whether she was telling the truth. He was afraid that arresting her would lead to his death. "How could you possibly know those two big shots? No one will believe you without proof. Maybe you're just trying to fool me!"
Fu Wanning raised her head. "I look like my older brother, but I, Pei Guangzong, don't look like him at all!"
At that moment, one of the thugs suddenly screamed.
