Upon entering, Xu Zhe was immediately berated by the old general, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Even if a young person is terribly timid inside, they absolutely cannot show it; they must save face.
She straightened her back forcefully: "I promised to break up with Xu Zhengxi, and I made it clear to him. But he chained me up, and there are dozens of people watching over the house. I can't even leave my room."
Pei Jun: "..."
Is this wolf cub really that... domineering and tyrannical? His methods are so ruthless; no wonder he raised this cub!
Realizing he was smiling, Pei Jun quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and continued to keep a straight face at the little girl.
Xu Zhe: "He insisted on having an ambiguous relationship with me. I couldn't stop him, but could you?"
Pei Jun's words caught in his throat when she asked him that. If he could stop the wolf cubs, would he be bothering a little kid?!
Xu Zhe: "You couldn't have stopped me, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to come all the way to the school."
"..." Pei Jun was truly speechless. After not seeing her for several months, the little girl had become sharp-tongued and more and more like a wolf cub!
“But Zhengxi went too far for you this time. Black and white shouldn’t be the standard for someone of his level. A lose-lose situation benefits no one.” Pei Jun couldn’t help but speak his mind.
Xu Zhe tilted his head slightly: "So, what do you think should be done? Let it slide and let it go? Rely entirely on whether the bad guys will have a change of heart? Am I tough enough?"
"You..." Pei Jun stared wide-eyed. You really know how to talk!
Xu Zhe: "I can understand Zhengxi. If you can't even protect the people you love, even if you sit in a high position, you're nothing but a coward with your hands tied and feet bound!"
Upon hearing "beloved person," Pei Jun exclaimed, "Aren't kids these days really willing to say anything? Aren't they ever embarrassed?"
What cowardly nonsense? How could Pei Jun's son be a coward!
He sighed, picked up a few sheets of A4 paper, and handed them over: "Look at this."
Xu Zhe took it; it turned out to be a screenshot of an online post. He really was an old man, printing out all this stuff.
“All the arrows you hold in your hand are arrows shot at Zhengxi by your opponents. Zhengxi is indeed one of the best among the young cadres of her cohort, but rising to the top is not entirely based on ability.”
"This time he turned against the Jiang family, and many people are happy to see them make things worse. Some rivals will even take the opportunity to kick him while he's down!"
Xu Zhe read the printed posts, which were all about the Xu Group's illegal and irregular evidence collection, questioning Xu Zhengxi's abuse of power to give the Xu Group preferential treatment.
Both Xu Jinheng and Xu Jinhan, siblings, worked as sewing machines in state institutions, meaning that all these dirty deeds of providing evidence were done by Xu Shixin.
Pei Jun: "Zheng Xi has been in officialdom for so many years, rising steadily and with a bright future ahead of him. He would disdain doing such things. Moreover, given his family background and the assets left to him by Old Master Xu and the Pei family, he has no need to resort to shady means to amass wealth."
"Their opponents can't find any fault with him, so they'll have to look for a breakthrough with Xu Shixin. That rotten bastard, it'll be too easy to find something on him! Humph!"
Xu Zhe carefully read the post. He found that it would be difficult for anyone other than a core internal staff member to know such details, including the illegal and irregular thought process and procedures.
She frowned: "This doesn't seem like something an outsider could discover."
Pei Jun raised an eyebrow, surprised that the little girl, who was still in school, could actually tell.
"Indeed, the process and thought process are so detailed that only Xu Shixin himself probably knows these things."
Xu Zhe stared at Pei Jun, then took a half-step forward: "So...?"
She didn't want the answer to be what she guessed; if it were true, Xu Zhengxi would be too pitiful!
“Yes.” Pei Jun’s eyes were sinister. “Xu Shixin abandoned his wife before, and now he’s abandoning his children!”
"Why?!" Xu Zhe couldn't understand. Xu Zhengxi was so outstanding; any father would wholeheartedly support and protect him. What reason could Xu Shixin possibly have to stab his own son in the back?!
"Why?" Pei Jun sneered, "Because some people only look like humans, but are actually just beasts!"
"Back then, he couldn't resist the temptation of other women and abandoned his wife. My daughter died not so much from illness as from depression, and passed away at a young age!"
"Now, his own business is shady, and he's being threatened by his political rivals. To protect himself, he's willing to stab his own son in the back!"
Xu Zhe felt like his chest was about to explode. Xu Shixin was utterly despicable; he had kidnapped him and made his youngest son take the blame, and now...
Pei Jun sighed: "During the Spring Festival this year, his dirty deeds were spotted by Zheng Xi's rivals. This idiot actually made senior executives take the blame in order to cover up his crimes, which ultimately led to someone's death."
"At that time, Xu Zhengxi had just returned from being detained in Beidu. Because Xu Shixin was seized upon by the enemy, the Pei family intervened in time."
"This time, because someone has leverage over him again, and his eldest son also hates him, he simply stands on the opposing side. As long as he can protect himself and the Xu family's wealth, he doesn't care about Zhengxi's life or death at all!"
Xu Zhe bit his lower lip, his teeth sinking deep into the soft flesh, and blood quickly seeped from the wound.
Xu Shixin was once her nightmare, but now he is the enemy of the man she loves. Only one thought runs through her mind: she wants him dead!
"Girl..." Pei Jun saw that Xu Zhe was full of anger and her lips were bleeding from being bitten so hard, so he couldn't help but want to comfort her.
"Don't worry, the Pei family is not to be trifled with, and Zheng Xi is a vicious wolf cub!"
Thousands of images flashed through Xu Zhe's mind, but he had only one thought: to kill Xu Shixin!
"Girl, sigh~ I was just worried about Zhengxi, that's why I couldn't help but come to find you." Pei Jun was frightened by the little girl's expression. The usually gentle and weak child was now covered in blood, as if she had just eaten someone!
"Please give me Xu Shixin's phone number." Xu Zhe finally relented, a drop of bright red blood trickling down his chin.
Pei Jun frowned. Why did this little girl want that beast's phone number?! To avenge Xu Zhengxi?!
With that small frame? You might get devoured alive the moment you get close to an animal!
"Please give me Xu Shixin's phone number." Xu Zhe repeated this sentence, blood flowing down to the edge of her chin, about to drip down. She reached out and wiped it away, like a resolute warrior.
Pei Jun suddenly became interested in what the little girl was going to do. Anyway, no matter how much she jumped around, she couldn't escape the security circle set up by Xu Zhengxi. He wanted to see if the little wolf cub had learned to bite!
He got up, went to Principal Dai's desk, tore off a sticky note, and copied down a series of numbers.
"What do you want with him?" Pei Jun handed over the note.
Xu Zhe took it, put it in his phone, and saved it to his contacts.
Then he looked up and said, "I'm going to kill him!"
