Pei Minghao was slapped hard across the face and was stunned as he covered his burning cheek.
"mom……"
Pei Minghao was pampered since childhood. Madam Pei doted on him like a precious gem, and he was never hit by her, let alone slapped in front of outsiders.
Pei Minghao was stunned. He looked at Madam Pei in disbelief, even doubting whether the person in front of him was his biological mother. Otherwise, why would she suddenly hit him like this?
Madam Pei the Second looked at Pei Minghao, then at Madam Pei the First, put down her wine cup, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why does your sister-in-law get so scared when the topic of the car accident five years ago comes up? Does the car accident five years ago have anything to do with you?"
Madam Pei the Second laughed as she spoke, glancing sideways at Madam Pei the First from the corner of her eye.
Madam Pei glared fiercely at Madam Pei the Second and said in a cold voice, her tone impatient.
"Stop being sarcastic. I know you've done all those dirty and filthy things. If you mess with me again, I'll expose them all. Then, when we get to Dad, neither of us will get away with it!"
Madam Pei the Second was speechless as she watched Madam Pei the First suddenly rise up and bite.
She turned her face slightly to the side and muttered a couple of words in a low voice.
"I was just saying something casually, why are you so angry? You're crazy!"
After that, the entire carriage fell silent, the atmosphere so tense it was suffocating.
The car started moving and slowly headed towards the Pei family's main residence.
Finally, Pei Minghao quietly asked a question.
"Is Pei Fengzhi's matter going to escalate?"
Madam Pei thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
"Let's not make a big fuss for now. Firstly, the outside world is in an uproar because of Ye Ningwan and Ye Ruoxin. Let these two sisters cover for us. By the time the Ye sisters' matter is over, Pei Fengzhi will probably be unable to recover. By then, even if the old man wants to bail her out, it will be too late!"
Madam Pei scoffed.
"That's absolutely true. Pei Fengzhi still wants to get Ye Ningwan out? Dream on! He's in jail himself now!"
"Who knows, they might even run into each other in prison someday!"
Madam Pei the Second looked at Madam Pei the First's wide-eyed grin, then turned away in disgust, gazing out the carriage window with a dark and unreadable expression, lost in thought.
It wasn't until the car entered the central area of Jiangcheng that the sky had already brightened, and then Pei Erfu suddenly spoke to the driver.
"Put it down right there!"
The driver pulled over, and Madam Pei got out of the car.
"I'm going to buy something. You guys go back first."
After saying that, she got out of the car without looking back.
Madam Pei, sitting in the car, looked puzzled and glanced down at the watch on her wrist.
"It's not even seven o'clock yet, are only the breakfast shops on the roadside still open?"
Pei Minghao didn't care at all, and yawned as he urged the driver to hurry up.
"Hurry home, I've never been out wandering around this late in my life except when I'm drinking. I'm so sleepy."
Pei Minghao and Madam Pei were unaware that after Madam Pei got out of the car, she directly hailed a taxi and went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
...
Ye Ningwan sat in the reception room. The person who came to see her this time was none other than Grizzly Bear.
"lady."
Ye Ningwan nodded to the grizzly bear with a faint smile on her face. Her cat-like eyes narrowed slightly as she quietly gazed at the grizzly bear sitting in front of her. Her first words were a soft question.
What's happening outside?
The grizzly bear was taken aback.
He clearly hadn't expected Ye Ningwan's first words to him to be this.
Grizzlies had considered many possibilities for this meeting and had many ways to deal with it.
For example, if the wife said that life inside was tough and asked when they could leave, he would coax and persuade her by telling her that they could leave soon.
If the lady didn't say much, he would just make up a few random things to put her mind at ease.
Grizzly Bear had no idea that Ye Ningwan was so perceptive; she reacted immediately simply because she saw him.
Sure enough, Ye Ningwan's second sentence was a question to Grizzly Bear.
"What happened to Pei Fengzhi? Was he assassinated again? Or..."
As Ye Ningwan was speaking, she was about to stand up when she suddenly grabbed Grizzly's collar and her voice rose sharply.
"I'm asking you a question!"
The two policewomen behind her immediately stepped forward and forcefully pushed Ye Ningwan back down.
"What are you doing! Don't do anything!"
"Sit still!"
Ye Ningwan was forced to lie face down on the table, struggling to lift her head. Her eyes were red, her long hair was slightly disheveled, and her dark cat-like eyes were fixed on the grizzly bear.
Grizzly Bear, nearly strangled to death by Ye Ningwan, tugged at his collar and coughed twice before raising his hand to signal to the policewoman who was holding Ye Ningwan down.
"I'm fine."
Ye Ningwan broke free from her restraints, sat up straight again, her back ramrod straight, and calmly looked at the grizzly bear before asking a question.
"You don't need to tell me what happened to Pei Fengzhi, just tell me if he's alright? Is he injured? Is he still alive?"
Grizzly sighed and nodded slightly.
"Madam, please rest assured, Ninth Master is definitely alright. He's just temporarily facing some minor difficulties, which are nothing compared to the difficulties he encountered in his earlier years."
"He's alive and well, unharmed. Ninth Master is very strong, much stronger than you imagine."
Ye Ningwan nodded slightly, let out a breath, and spoke slowly.
