Xu Zhengxi has gone mad.
The entire mountain villa was in complete chaos.
Pei Jun lowered his eyes, scanning the bodyguards in the courtyard like a hawk.
"Zhengxi, are you planning to use these ragtag troops to deal with your grandfather's guards?" Pei Jun glanced at his beloved grandson.
Xu Zhengxi's face was terrifyingly sinister.
He walked step by step to Pei Jun, his height giving him an advantage over his beloved grandfather.
"So what if they're guards? Do you dare to fire a shot?"
Xu Zhengxi's lips curled slightly, and his cold expression made his mockery of Pei Jun crystal clear.
In peacetime, opening fire and engaging in a shootout? If things escalate, no one will be able to escape unscathed!
If he's gone, we should search high and low for him!
If Pei Jun dares to use his guards to cause an accidental clash, he should consider the interests of the entire Pei family and whether he can afford to gamble with that!
"What do you want?!" Pei Jun saw through the brat's ruthlessness and decided to try to negotiate.
"I will personally question every single member of the Pei family!"
Xu Zhengxi met Pei Jun's hawk-like eyes, his gaze sharp as a cold sword, piercing straight into those two dark, somber eyes.
Pei Jun's yellowish whites were bloodshot, and his eyelids trembled slightly.
The little brat! He was so angry he could barely contain his killing intent!
"Zhengxi! Don't go too far." Pei Li stepped forward to block the old man's pathetic momentum.
"Does Uncle have a way to hand over my people and the main culprit?" Xu Zhengxi turned to look at Pei Li.
His eyes held none of the respect a junior should show to an elder; instead, they were those of a wolf king warning his opponent, fierce and sharp.
"You little brat!" Pei Li took a deep breath to keep his emotions in check. If he had a heart attack on the spot, no one would be able to control this wolf cub!
Xu Zhengxi's lips curled slightly, his expression cold. He reached out and stroked Pei Li's chest, his mockery piercing to the heart.
"Then let's begin." Xu Zhengxi instructed Si Kangzhu, "Keep an eye on the people."
Then, with one arm around his maternal grandfather and the other around his maternal uncle, they walked towards the side hall.
Pei Xun watched the three people walk away, then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.
Inside the hall, members of the Pei family were chatting in small groups.
Jiang Shuning and Pei Yun sat side by side, one with a face full of resentment and the other with a face full of worry.
He then glanced at the guards and servants of the Pei family, his brows furrowing.
Who exactly kidnapped Xu Zhe?
An hour later, Pei Jun and Pei Li came out of the side hall, didn't come over to talk to anyone else, and went straight back to their room with sullen faces.
Xu Zhengxi came out and invited Pei Xun and Pei Yun to the side hall.
The uncle and nephew exchanged a glance and went to find Xu Zhengxi.
"Pei Yun, tell me again what happened on the mountain." Xu Zhengxi's tone was noticeably gentler towards her.
As for Pei Xun, he didn't even ask.
Xu Zhengxi asked him to come along so that he could help analyze the situation from the sidelines.
Pei Yun had already recounted the events in front of everyone before, and now she explained the whole story in detail, adding her own intuition and guesses.
"You think it has nothing to do with Jiang Shuning?" Xu Zhengxi frowned.
“Yes.” Pei Yun analyzed, “If Jiang Shuning wanted to do this, she wouldn’t need to appear and increase suspicion.”
"Moreover, after spending time with her, I feel that although she likes to play the role of a 'good sister-in-law' who cares about people, she is not complicated or bad."
After listening, Xu Zhengxi looked at his uncle Pei Xun: "Uncle, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Pei Xun lit a cigar and stared at the rising smoke:
"When Pei Yun left Xu Zhe, she specifically told her to call for help if anything happened, but Xu Zhe didn't."
“Si Kangzhu checked, and there weren’t even any footprints left around there, let alone a fourth person.”
Xu Zhengxi and Pei Yun unconsciously straightened up, waiting for him to continue.
