Chapter 2834 Save Yourself First
Although the reason for not answering the phone might be that the mobile phone was not with him, Mr. Pei believed that it was because Mr. Yuan knew the purpose of his call, so he did not intend to help and simply did not answer the phone.
Yes, the Yuan family also knew about Pei Jiangchao’s arrest for kidnapping Dai Xiongyu.
Elder Yuan was also very angry about Pei Jiangchao's behavior. He was helping the Pei family so much, but the Pei family caused such a big incident.
Therefore, the elder was righteous and didn't want to help Pei Jiangchao anymore.
Now, things related to the Yuan family are one after another, and he is very tired.
Therefore, Mr. Yuan did not answer Mr. Pei's call immediately, but it was impossible for him to say that he would not help. After all, the relationship between the Pei family and the Yuan family is so good. The Yuan family wants to pull the Pei family to the top because the Pei family has paid enough attention to and made enough contributions to the Yuan family.
Moreover, if he really just stood by and watched, the Pei family would probably be disappointed and would no longer support the Yuan family.
Of course, he couldn't help Pei Jiangchao. If there wasn't such strong evidence, he could help. But the evidence was so strong, if they intervened, they would undoubtedly cause trouble. The Yuan family was in a lot of trouble now! Therefore, he could only help Mr. Pei and Pei Jianghai with the crime of harboring someone, but he couldn't be 100% sure whether he could help.
Moreover, even if they could not help, it would not disappoint the Pei family and make them stop supporting the Yuan family.
Mr. Pei was unwilling to give up, so he called the second one, hoping that Mr. Yuan just didn't have his cell phone with him.
But this time, Mr. Yuan accepted the call, and Mr. Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Yuan! I wonder if you know what happened to the Pei family?" asked Old Master Pei. Although he thought that the Yuan family already knew about it, he was not sure. He thought that this incident had just happened, so he still asked first.
"I know. I just found out. But please tell me in detail what happened." said the elder.
"Jiang Chao kidnapped Dai Xiongyu. This was his personal behavior and we were all unaware of it. It was only when we talked about it last night that we noticed that Jiang Chao's expression was not right. After asking him, we found out that it was him who kidnapped Dai Xiongyu. We also didn't want to see Jiang Chao get into trouble, so we discussed arranging someone to take the blame. If those people gave Jiang Chao up, we could have someone to take the blame. If they didn't, that would be the best. But we didn't expect that those people gave Jiang Chao up last night. They thought that they had arranged people to monitor the Pei family and recorded our conversation." said Old Master Pei.
"Has the recording been investigated? What's the situation? Is there a spy in the Pei family, or was it their people who did it?" asked the elder.
“We immediately investigated as soon as we got the news. From the surveillance, no one else came into my study, but all the surveillance that could capture the outside of the study window were destroyed, so we can conclude that the other party recorded the audio outside the window. We are now investigating whether all the people in the Pei family have any evidence of their alibi at that time. If it is proven that they were not present, then they were outsiders.” said Mr. Pei.
"Didn't you capture any evidence before the surveillance broke down?" asked the elder.
“No, so we are checking now to see why the surveillance camera is broken, and to see if we can find the other party through other surveillance cameras,” said Mr. Pei.
In this case, the elder had nothing more to ask.
"The Pei family is a power of the Yuan family, so of course I can't just ignore it. But I can only try my best to prevent you and Jiang Hai from being held accountable. As for Jiang Chao, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. After all, there is the Leng family behind the Dai family. And you also know that a lot of things have happened in the Yuan family recently, and it's a mess!" Old Master Yuan spoke before Old Master Pei could speak.
In fact, Mr. Pei's purpose in looking for Mr. Yuan was just to ask him to protect himself and Pei Jianghai, because he also knew that it was not easy to protect Pei Jiangchao, especially with so many families eyeing them at the same time.
However, when he heard the elder say it on his own initiative, he still felt disappointed for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and he suppressed his disappointment and no longer felt any dissatisfaction towards the elder.
"It's enough to prevent Jiang Hai and I from being held accountable. Jiang Chao did do something he shouldn't have done, and the evidence is conclusive. He can't get away with it." Grandpa Pei said.
"I will try my best to help you, but you should not put all your hopes on me. Besides, the main things still need to be done by you. I can only assist you." said the elder.
"Yes, yes, I know." Old Master Pei responded. After all, this was the Pei family's business. If only the elder came forward, it would seem that the Pei family was not sincere. Not only would people not let it go, but they would be even more angry.
"Then what should I do first?" asked Mr. Pei.
"Of course, we can't use force to deal with this kind of thing, so my idea is that you and Jiang Hai go to the Dai family in person to apologize, saying that you are eager to protect your son, so you came up with the idea of finding someone to take the blame, and then take the initiative to bear the compensation. At a time like this, you can't care so much about your face, just save yourself first. As for Jiang Chao, you don't have to beg for mercy, just deal with it as it should be handled. You are just shielding him, and the crime is not serious, and then I will come forward to plead for him. The Dai family has a lot of things to do now, and they shouldn't pursue you and Jiang Hai in depth." said the elder.
What Grandpa Yuan said were also what Grandpa Pei had thought of just now. However, now with the help of Grandpa Yuan, he felt a little more hopeful.
"Okay, then I'll go find Dai Qinghua right away." Mr. Pei said, and Dai Qinghua is the old man of the Dai family.
Before Mr. Pei left the house, the housekeeper checked all the surveillance footage he could find and saw a dark shadow climbing over the wall of Pei's house, but the person was wrapped too tightly and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Of course, for this kind of thing, they actively assume that it is a man who is responsible, because to them, women are weak and simply cannot do such a thing.
Mr. Pei asked the housekeeper to continue to send people to investigate, and he called Pei Jianghai again, asking him not to go to work for the time being and to go to the Dai family with him first.
Then Pei Jianghai did not go to work and left immediately.
Because Pei Jianghai is the leader, he has much more freedom in terms of time than others. As long as there is nothing to hold him back at work, he can leave at any time.
