Chapter 961 They are all stalling for time
wrong!
It was impossible for anyone to pass by at this time. Pei Zheng investigated for a long time. The highway near the old dock in the northern suburbs was almost abandoned. It was impossible for anyone to come to such a deserted place.
"alert!"
Pei Zheng shouted loudly.
At the same time, he sent people to investigate the inexplicable car lights, and he still had some delusions in his mind.
Maybe, he was just passing by.
Zhao Qin said that Huo Xingzhou had been deceived.
Then who else would go against their Pei family?
"Hurry up and load the ship! We can set sail now if we're done. Don't linger, get going!" Pei Zheng's heart was in his throat. With such a large deal, the entire Pei family was practically on the line; there was no room for loss.
"yes."
"Yes, sir."
The freighter started moving, making a loud noise.
All the seabirds in this area were startled.
And the last round of cargo has not been loaded yet.
The volume of long-staple cotton shipped this time was huge, and only such a large volume could cope with the sudden inspection. Pei Zheng considered all the details very carefully, but he forgot that Huo Xingzhou was not a man who could be easily deceived.
The strange headlights were getting closer.
Pei Zheng couldn't deceive himself that he was just passing by.
It should have been discovered!
He took out his cell phone and called Zhao Qin, but found that the call was not going through.
I have no signal.
Why was his signal blocked?
He had no time to think so much at this moment.
"Get the car ready for me, let's go."
He had to escape.
Once he left the scene, there would be no evidence pointing to him, and everything could be blamed on Zheng Baijia.
"retreat!"
"Everyone retreat!"
When Pei Zheng left, he did not forget to take his confidants with him. It was not because he cared about them that much, but because he was worried that those people would become a handle if they stayed.
He couldn't take the risk.
Damn it!
What exactly are Zhao Qin and Li Cheng doing?
"Sir, the car is ready. Where are we going now?"
"Go back to the Pei family! No, I can't go back tonight. Just drop me off at the hotel when we get back to the city." He was afraid that he would meet Huo Xingzhou's people on the way home, which would be embarrassing.
Pei Zheng's car was driving towards a small road in the dense forest, which was a way out for himself.
pity.
The Huo family's convoy was large and surrounded Pei Zheng's car, pressing forward step by step.
The Pei family's car could only move backwards.
Pei Zheng could see the handsome face in the car opposite through the car window, with the help of the car lights and moonlight.
Huo Xingzhou is really here!
He has never been cheated!
But it was Zhao Qin who was fooled.
For some reason, his heart suddenly dropped to his stomach. Tonight's confrontation would not be easy.
"Boss Pei, what should we do next? We're surrounded on all sides, and the cargo ship has been captured. There's also..."
Tricky.
Pei Zheng gritted his teeth and thought about how to deal with the situation.
It's not a desperate situation yet, he still has a chance to turn the situation around.
"Boss Pei, they brought too many people. We have no way..."
The Huo family came prepared, almost sending out all their forces. Pei Zheng hadn't expected Huo Xingzhou to have been hiding his strength all this time, and the last time at the fork in the road, it wasn't even all the people he brought with him.
This man is unfathomable.
It is indeed easy to feel intimidated when facing such an enemy.
"Shut up! How dare you boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?"
Pei Zheng's eyes were red and bloodshot.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the car window.
Old Chen's honest face was revealed. "Mr. Pei, please get out of the car and talk."
Pei Zheng knew he couldn't avoid it.
It didn't help that he hid in the car.
"Boss Pei, our young master wants you to get out of the car and talk. You don't want to be a coward, do you?"
Pei Zheng's face turned pale and he opened the car door.
The driver quickly shouted, "Boss Pei, you can't get off the car. There are so many of them that can kill you at any time!"
"How could I not know this?" But he believed that Huo Xingzhou had a conscience and was not a man with bloody hands.
Pei Zheng felt that it was impossible for him to die at Huo Xingzhou's hands tonight.
Pei Zheng opened the car door and got out.
He looked at the crowd across from him, his gaze finally landing on Huo Xingzhou: "Mr. Huo, why are you in a place like this so late at night? Are you here to admire the moon or the scenery?"
Huo Xingzhou smiled faintly.
"That's what I wanted to ask Mr. Pei. What attracted you to this wilderness?"
"Mr. Huo, you don't know. This was once a prosperous place. It was where our Pei family started. The old dock in the northern suburbs was a bustling place decades ago. I came here to indulge in the memories of the old people, my youth, and the glory of my ancestors."
Huo Xingzhou listened to his nonsense and showed a sarcastic look on his face.
"If the ancestors of the Pei family knew that their place of origin had become a dirty and filthy trading place, they would be heartbroken."
"Mr. Huo, please be more polite."
Huo Xingzhou really knew that he was smuggling those precious cultural relics here tonight. Who leaked the information?
He was clearly creating confusion and had thrown out many smoke bombs.
How did Huo Xingzhou lock onto this place so accurately?
Is there a thief inside?
"I'm being polite, but can your ancestors' coffin cover it?"
"Huo Xingzhou, don't be so aggressive. What exactly do you mean by coming here with such a threatening attitude and blocking all of us here?"
"I want to see the Pei family's ancestral wharf. Could Mr. Pei introduce it to me?"
"If I say no!"
Before Pei Zheng could finish his words, a sharp dagger was placed across his neck. The Pei family's men had no power to fight back.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were heavy, but his tone was very relaxed: "Boss Pei, you can express your opinion again. Did you reject me just now?"
Pei Zheng was sure that as long as he said "yes", the knife on his neck would draw blood.
Huo Xingzhou would not kill anyone, but he had countless ways to deal with others, making life worse than death and even more desperate.
"Mr. Pei, please lead the way to your ancestral dock. I want to see it too."
Pei Zheng had no choice but to be pushed away by Huo Xingzhou's men.
The scene in front of me is getting brighter and brighter.
He was taken to the old dock and looked at the bodyguards who were being held hostage and the hired workers who were as quiet as chickens and dared not move. Pei Zheng knew that his initiative had been completely lost, and Huo Xingzhou could decide the future of the Pei family.
but!
He still wanted to struggle.
Maybe there will be a turning point.
"Mr. Huo, what do you mean? I didn't expect the dock to be so busy. I didn't even know when the old dock was reopened."
Pack!
Keep pretending!
"So Mr. Pei didn't know. It seems he won't cry until he sees the coffin." Huo Xingzhou saw that he was still struggling, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Pei Zheng, it's pointless to keep denying it at this time."
Pei Zheng's eyes turned cold and his expression became very ugly.
"What do you mean, Mr. Huo? What are your conditions?"
