"Where is he now? I’ll tell you, I want to see the person alive or the body dead," Pei Yansi said with an icy face as he looked at Chen Wenzhou.
Chen Wenzhou smiled confidently, but just as he was about to speak, there was a knock at the door. His assistant rushed in, looking deathly pale.
Chen Wenzhou frowned and, in front of Pei Yansi, pretended to scold his subordinate, "Are you blind? Don’t you see I’m talking with President Pei? Haven’t you got eyes?"
The assistant, pale, nodded in greeting to Pei Yan, "President Pei."
Then, looking anxiously at Chen Wenzhou, the assistant whispered, "President Chen, there’s something very urgent I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Chen Wenzhou asked impatiently, frowning. He had finally achieved a victory, and now someone was ruining his mood.
The assistant bent over and whispered a few words into Chen Wenzhou’s ear.
Pei Yansi saw with his own eyes that before the assistant could finish, Chen Wenzhou lost his composure, slammed the sofa’s armrest with force, and stood up furiously.
Chen Wenzhou’s lips pressed into a straight line, and after a deep breath, he waved his hand to dismiss the assistant.
"President Pei really has some skill, using a diversionary tactic on me."
Pei Yansi gave a faint smile and, as his phone screen lit up, he glanced at it. Zhao Jin had sent him a message: Wang Zhiqiang had been rescued.
Setting down his phone, Pei Yan leisurely picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. The Chen family’s coffee was indeed quite bitter.
"You flatter me," Pei Yansi knew exactly what Chen Wenzhou was referring to.
"Who exactly is this person? My intuition tells me his identity is not as simple as just a bodyguard. What’s your purpose in protecting him? You’re not planning to use him against our Chen Family, are you?"
Anger flickered in Chen Wenzhou’s eyes. His men had interrogated Wang Zhiqiang all night and hadn’t gotten a single true word out of him. He was livid.
Pei Yansi calmly set down his coffee cup, "President Chen, what are you talking about? Who are you referring to? Are you talking about the bodyguard named Wang Zhiqiang? Didn’t you say he fell into the river?"
"Don’t play dumb with me. I know you never wanted to marry Mengmeng, but don’t take it too far. After all, our families are about to be united."
The mention of that issue turned Pei Yansi’s gaze deadly.
If it weren’t for them, the woman he liked wouldn’t have used this as an excuse to leave his side.
Pei Yan had no desire to continue this charade at this point. His complexion was as cold as ice, and he stood up, setting down his coffee cup.
He was a bit nobler than Chen Wenzhou, and thus, his presence was more commanding as he looked slightly down at Chen Wenzhou.
Chen Wenzhou’s expression was also quite interesting, like prey that had caught the attention of a cheetah, the man was completely on guard.
His whole body tensed while Pei Yansi simply raised his eyebrows slightly without a sound.
"I came here today to give you a warning. It’s best not to lay hands on my people in the future. If I catch you playing dirty tricks behind my back again, I definitely won’t let you off."
After speaking, Pei Yansi didn’t look back as he left the study and shut the door. Chen Wenzhou, furious, grabbed his coffee cup and smashed it to the ground with force.
Once in the car, he called Zhao Jin.
"How is Wang Zhiqiang doing? I want to ask him some questions in person."
"Wang Zhiqiang was frightened, he fell asleep after eating something just now."
"I see." Pei Yansi hung up the phone, and just as he was about to put his cell phone down, he saw that his wallpaper was Shen Heyu.
Seeing Shen Heyu, his heart throbbed violently, and a touch of sadness flashed through his eyes.
Could it be that Shen Heyu could only live a fulfilling life away from him? But when she was by his side, he had also offered her all the best things he could.
Pei Yansi dejectedly raised his hand to press on his brow, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a drawn blade, cutting to the quick.
No one could prevent Shen Heyu from leaving him, and even if Shen Heyu had temporarily left his side, he was determined to find her and bring her back.
He would never allow another man to have her; the only person in this world who could have Shen Heyu was himself.
The car quickly came to a stop on the lawn outside Pei’s Villa.
The driver opened the door, and Pei Yansi exited the car and strode toward the house because on the way there, Zhao Jin had received a call and woke up Wang Zhiqiang ahead of time.
Wang Zhiqiang sat in the villa for a while, waiting for Pei Yansi.
As soon as Pei Yansi appeared, Wang Zhiqiang immediately stood up nervously, and before Pei Yansi could say a word, he frantically explained.
"Although they kidnapped me this time, you believe me, I didn’t reveal anything," Wang Zhiqiang seemed very worried that Pei Yansi would regard him as a traitor. He took off his clothes to reveal the wounds on his body, all of which had been inflicted with a whip.
Pei Yansi sat down on the sofa and elegantly crossed his legs, his gaze on Wang Zhiqiang was indifferent.
"Don’t be nervous, sit down."
Pei Yansi knew he certainly hadn’t confessed; otherwise, Chen Wenzhou wouldn’t have been so furious today, incessantly pressing Pei Yansi about this bodyguard’s identity.
"It seems like after you were taken by them yesterday, you suffered quite a bit. Don’t worry, I will arrange for more personnel to ensure your personal safety," Pei Yansi said calmly.
With those words from him, Wang Zhiqiang felt relieved and sat back down, though he still looked very tense.
"What did they ask you after they kidnapped you yesterday?"
"They asked me if I was involved in Chen Lingmeng’s car accident. I kept my mouth shut tight, insisting that I was your backup bodyguard. They didn’t believe it and kept whipping me."
"They also showed my photo to other people to see if anyone recognized me. Fortunately, no one has spotted my identity for the time being."
Pei Yansi briefly furrowed his brow; Chen Wenzhou suspected he was involved in Chen Ling’s car accident.
He guessed Wang Zhiqiang wouldn’t be able to keep his identity secret for much longer. Once Chen Wenzhou started investigating in this direction, it probably wouldn’t take long to uncover his true identity.
"I will have someone protect you during this time."
"Think back carefully about what happened at the scene of the car accident, especially since you said the woman in the car when the accident occurred wasn’t Chen Lingmeng. I need you to provide further evidence to convince me."
Upon hearing Pei Yansi’s words, Wang Zhiqiang’s eyes lit up as he stood up excitedly, stuttering, "I, I have evidence..."
"What evidence?" Pei Yansi’s gaze sharply focused in an instant.
