CHAPTER 917: CHAPTER 725: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 66_3

Bo Qin’s expression remained unchanged, "Old Pei, there’s something you need to understand first. Their eating habits have nothing to do with me, and I came here with the utmost sincerity, only to find myself in an irredeemable situation. Sorry, I’m not a kind person; perhaps you’ve underestimated my character, Bo Qin."

Old Pei never thought he had underestimated his character. On the contrary, he even felt that he had never truly seen through this young man, who was both brave and clever, with outstanding methods.

In the end, hadn’t he already fallen into his hands?

Ultimately, who underestimated whom?

The negotiation ended unpleasantly. As Bo Qin left the study, he heard Old Pei’s cold and ominous voice behind him, "Young man, aren’t you worried that too rigid bones will break?"

Bo Qin didn’t take his threat seriously and continued to walk out, casually replying, "Old Pei, Fengcheng has changed. It’s no longer the Fengcheng completely controlled by your Pei Family. There are many who wish to see you fall, ready to make their move. Tell me, how will you make me learn a lesson?"

Old Pei was so furious that his chest heaved violently, almost losing his breath.

He pointed at Bo Qin, "You, you, you..."

Without saying another word, Bo Qin swaggered out of the Pei family. As he passed Pei Rong in the hallway, she called after him, "Bo Qin."

Bo Qin didn’t stop and continued to walk out. Pei Rong’s face was angry, "Stop him."

As soon as Pei Rong’s bodyguard moved, Bo Qin’s men stepped in to restrain them. In terms of talent, Bo Qin indeed had many capable people around him. Had it not been for Bo Qin’s previous lack of precaution and being schemed against, no one would ordinarily be able to trouble him, unless he allowed it himself.

A cold smile appeared on his lips, and he heard Pei Rong’s almost pleading voice, "Bo Qin, this is my fault. I desired you for your allure. I beg you not to make things difficult for the Pei family."

"Too late."

Bo Qin’s words echoed in the empty hall, and Pei Rong felt her entire body go weak, collapsing onto the carpet.

Finished.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Bo Qin told her at the hotel initially—don’t give him a chance to counterattack, or else...

Now, everything was starting to come true, and she felt an endless terror.

Bo Qin was never easy to deal with, and if others schemed against him once, he’d turn the tables so thoroughly that they’d have no way out, collapsing completely.

Trying to use certain things to threaten and win him over was meaningless as long as he didn’t consent.

Watching Bo Qin’s figure disappear from the house until he was completely gone, Pei Rong felt as though she had fallen from the clouds to the ground. She couldn’t imagine how she would face life after the downfall of the Pei family.

"Stand up."

Just then, Old Pei’s voice came from the staircase. Old Pei looked at the dazed Pei Rong and snorted, "Although these things are counted against you, you’re not entirely wrong, but what’s done is done. Take the family’s liquid assets and leave the country as soon as possible. Don’t come back."

Pei Rong got up from the ground, "Grandfather, what about you?"

"This old man will never leave this place. Everything should end, and I should stay here too. Go pack your things and leave immediately. You’re the only young lady of the Pei family; you should be able to live without worries in the latter half of your life.

But you can’t stay here any longer."

Pei Rong shook her head, "Grandfather, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you."

Old Pei shook his head, his blurred eyes sweeping around the old mansion, "Leave; this place will soon be sealed. Bo Qin wasn’t wrong in what he said. After so many years, the Pei Family, which once controlled Fengcheng, is not what it used to be."

For years, Pei Rong had ignored these matters, and now with her grandfather’s lament, she finally felt a sense of impending doom, "Grandfather, has the Pei family declined this much?"

Old Pei looked at her, "What else would you expect? Knowing this is a gamble we can’t afford to lose, would I have supported you? I thought too simply back then, knowing Bo Qin’s temperament, but I valued myself too highly and took myself too seriously.

Listen to your grandfather, leave quickly. If you don’t, after today, you might never have the chance to leave again."

Pei Rong bit her lip, unable to decide whether to leave or not. She actually didn’t want to leave, despite her carefree demeanor; she couldn’t leave her grandfather alone here.

She shook her head, "I won’t leave; I’ll stay here with grandfather."

Old Pei, however, disagreed. He waved his hand, "You all, take the young lady away, to wherever but don’t stay in Fengcheng."

A few people came up to take her away.
