Chapter Seventy-One: The Pei Family Launches an Attack!
Xu Wang took a deep breath, turned his head, and threw a series of air punches in Pei Yanchuan's direction.
Me, left hook, right hook...
Pei Yanchuan, who was working diligently, felt the gaze on him and looked up at where Xu Wang was.
When Xu Wang saw Pei Yanchuan looking over, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Xu Wang turned around and screamed, "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Pei Yanchuan smiled and, seeing that there was nothing else, continued working diligently. The plan to acquire the Zhong family's assets had been finalized, and all that was left was to implement it.
Pei Yanchuan assigned tasks to others.
In just one afternoon, the Zhong family suffered a huge blow. First, the supply chain suddenly broke down, and then a sure-fire cooperation was rejected. In just one afternoon, it was as if the world had changed. All the people who wanted to cooperate with them avoided them like the plague. Some could still say a few words, but some didn't even answer the phone.
Zhong Ran's older brother, Zhong Yuan, was extremely busy. He couldn't understand why the other party had suddenly gone back on their word in the afternoon, even though they had just agreed on it that morning.
After trying for a long time without any effect, Zhong Yuan sat angrily in his office, throwing everything he could find on the floor.
Zhong Yuan was not entirely stupid. Instead of continuing to clean up the mess, he began to investigate the cause. After repeated inquiries, he finally learned some information.
It was Pei who did it.
Zhong Yuan was incredulous upon receiving the news. His family had no connection with the Pei family. Could it be because of something that happened when they were children? But so many years have passed, and this move is too sudden.
Zhong Yuan immediately contacted his younger brother, Zhong Ran, and asked him to ask the Leng family for help.
Zhong Ran was also taken aback when she received the call from her older brother.
Zhong Ran subconsciously thought of that look from two days ago, that look that saw him as a lifeless object, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Zhong Ran didn't understand why Pei Yanchuan would suddenly make trouble, but he couldn't care less about that now. Zhong Ran immediately called Leng Yifan.
After receiving the information, Leng Yifan first told Zhong Ran not to worry, and then told his father about it.
Leng's father had much more information through his connections than Zhong Yuan.
After pondering for a while, Leng's father decided to take Leng Yifan to visit Old Master Pei, since Old Master Pei was the only one who could stop Pei Yanchuan's plan at the moment.
The phone rang non-stop at the Pei family's old residence all afternoon.
Ring ring ring...
"Hello, who is this?" The old butler answered the phone with practiced ease.
Grandpa Pei sat by the pond, leisurely feeding the large, fat koi in the pond.
The koi carp puffed out their mouths, sucking in the fish food from the surface of the water in a whirlwind.
The old butler was on the phone, constantly replying to the person on the other end, using the same script he never used.
The old housekeeper hung up the phone.
Grandpa Pei raised his head with a chuckle: "It's still because of that brat, isn't it?"
"Master is right. They've all been subtly trying to find out why the young master suddenly attacked the Zhong family." The old butler nodded with a smile.
“There must be a reason, but I think the kid’s motive is the most important. After all, the Zhong family has been there all this time and he hasn’t even looked at them. Now that he’s suddenly making trouble, there must be a trigger.” Old Master Pei sprinkled another batch of fish food on the koi.
"Does Master mean Young Master Xu?" the old butler whispered.
Grandpa Pei's smile remained unchanged: "I raised Yan Chuan from childhood, and I know his personality. Although he is very indifferent to everyone and everything, his possessiveness as a top alpha has not diminished with his personality. In fact, due to some deficiencies in his childhood, his possessiveness may be even more obsessive."
"The Zhong family's crimes have long been laid bare; all that's missing is the spark to ignite them."
The old butler nodded knowingly.
Just as the two were about to go back inside, the phone rang again.
The old housekeeper answered the phone, and his pupils contracted after hearing the self-introduction on the other end.
A minute later, the old butler avoided the phone call, bent down slightly and leaned closer to Old Master Pei: "Master, the head of the Leng family said he would like to come and visit you tonight."
Old Master Pei paused for a moment, then nodded slightly a few seconds later.
After receiving the instructions, the old butler relayed the answer to the other party and then hung up the phone.
"Have that brat come over alone tonight."
"Yes, sir."
Pei Yanchuan had just returned home with Xu Wang when he received the call from the old housekeeper.
After listening, Pei Yanchuan gave a simple reply and then began preparing dinner as usual.
During dinner, Pei Yanchuan informed Xu Wang that he might have to go back to the old house later and would be back in about an hour.
Xu Wang looked up while eating and asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Pei Yanchuan smiled and shook his head: "No need, it's just some work arrangements. I'll be back soon. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
Xu Wang knew immediately that it must be about the Zhong family, and obediently nodded.
