Ye Ningwan untied the ropes binding Madam Pei.
Go find your son.
Madam Pei was initially incredulous that Ye Ningwan had let her off so easily.
She hesitated for a moment, then immediately thought of Pei Minghao.
Yes, Ye Ningwan was certain that she couldn't let go of Pei Minghao; the rope in her heart was always more effective than the rope on her body.
Madam Pei gritted her teeth, turned around, and slowly walked forward.
"Minghan! Minghan, where are you?!"
Her voice echoed continuously through the abandoned factory.
She didn't know how much time had passed; it felt like an eternity before Pei Minghan's weak, hoarse voice finally came from not far away.
"Mom, I'm here."
Even though Pei Minghan's voice was very soft, as a mother, Madam Pei immediately recognized his location and quickened her pace to run in that direction.
After passing through mountains of waste, she found Pei Minghan sitting on the ground, leaning against another pile of waste.
Pei Minghan was still wearing a hospital gown, her face was pale, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was thin and sunken from the pain, looking as haggard as if she were about to die.
In addition, there were traces of blood on the trousers of his hospital gown.
It was probably after he left the ward that the wound on his lower body started bleeding because the dressing wasn't changed.
A foul stench emanated from Pei Minghan, because he was wearing a urine bag.
Madam Pei disregarded all of this and rushed towards Pei Minghan, her eyes filled with tears.
"Minghan! Minghan, what happened to you?"
"You can't do this, you'll die if you keep going like this. Come with Mommy, Mommy will take you to see a doctor, okay?"
Pei Minghan stared coldly at Madam Pei, who was grabbing his arm, her sharp eyes bloodshot, and questioned her word by word.
"Did Pei Fengzhi threaten you with Minghao?"
It has to be said that at this moment, Pei Minghan seemed to have a complete epiphany, and guessed it immediately.
Madam Pei hesitated for a long time before nodding with red eyes.
Her voice choked with sobs.
“Minghan, you only have this one younger brother. You’ve always doted on him since we were little. You’ve always given in to him. You can’t just stand by and watch him die!”
Pei Minghan's eyes softened for a minute, but the next second, they returned to their coldness.
He snorted coldly, forcefully shoved away Madam Pei, who was grabbing his arm, and sneered.
"So you now think I'm useless, so you don't want me as your son anymore, and instead plan to support Pei Minghao?"
"Hehehe, Mom! Do you really love me? Do you really care about me? Or do you just want to be the matriarch of the Pei family, and you just want power?"
Madam Pei suddenly raised her head, staring at her son in disbelief, her legs swaying unsteadily.
Her voice was trembling.
"Pei Minghan, is that really what you think of me? I've done so much for you two brothers over the years, put in so much effort, do you think I'm only after power?"
How could you say such a thing?
In her final questioning, Madam Pei spoke with a hoarse voice.
Pei Minghan turned his head away, refusing to look at the tears on her face, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Then why do you want me to think about Minghao? Mom, you should know that things have come to this point, neither Pei Fengzhi nor Ye Ningwan will let me go! If I go out, I'll only die. I might as well take a gamble. If Pei Fengzhi really cares about Ye Ningwan and his son, maybe he'll give the Pei family business to Dad!"
"Then Dad will be the new head of the Pei family, and I'll have everything! You'll be able to do everything too! Minghao too! Pei Fengzhi has never killed anyone from the Pei family. Even if the fifth brother wanted to kill Pei Fengzhi back then, he was only exiled to Siberia in the end!"
"Mom! He won't kill Pei Minghao! You have to believe me!"
Madam Pei gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face.
"Even if Pei Fengzhi can't, what about Ye Ningwan?"
"Ye Ningwan just chopped off one of your brother's fingers. That woman is capable of anything when she goes crazy!"
Pei Minghan gritted her teeth, remained silent for a few seconds, and then roared.
"I don't care! I don't care! I want justice for myself! I want Pei Fengzhi and Ye Ningwan to compensate me! If they won't compensate me with their entire fortune, then they'll compensate me with their lives!"
"I can't live my whole life like this, feeling so wronged and resentful! It's too stifling!"
A cold laugh came from behind the pile of scrap.
"It seems the final negotiations have broken down. Madam Pei, I overestimated you. It turns out that in Pei Minghan's eyes, you, his mother, and his brother, Pei Minghao, are nothing at all."
"For him, his own person is the most important thing. That's the good son you've raised!"
Pei Minghan and Madam Pei turned around at the same time and saw Ye Ningwan walking over with a mocking smile on her face.
Madam Pei's face was ashen, as if covered with a layer of gold leaf.
She murmured.
"Ye...no...that's not how it is..."
Ye Ningwan ignored Madam Pei and instead stared down at Pei Minghan with a disdainful expression.
"Pei Minghan, you've always been like this! Someone like you doesn't deserve to be the heir of the Pei family at all!"
When Pei Minghan saw Ye Ningwan, his eyes were already bloodshot. He clenched his fists, his teeth were grinding, and he roared at Ye Ningwan.
