Pei Zhongtian suddenly frowned: "Send someone to monitor closely. If there is any movement, report immediately."
Pei Qingyu immediately nodded: "Yes."
I don't know why, but Pei Zhongtian always has an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if... something big is about to happen.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Yan Feng has been coming to the Pei family for several years. It doesn't matter whether he had bad intentions at the beginning or chose to betray him later. Now all this is enough to prove that the Cheng family has long had evil intentions towards my Pei family.
Heart. But...why would Cheng Chongjun do this?"
The relationship between the Pei family and the Cheng family is not close, but there has never been any irreconcilable conflict over the years. To be honest, the biggest quarrel between them and the Zhou family is that Pei Zhongtian has doubted the banquet several times before.
Feng is from the Zhou family.
He never imagined that the people involved behind this were actually the Cheng family.
Pei Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Yan Feng's target... seems to have always been you."
From poisoning during the hunting competition four years ago to deliberately refining the problematic elixir, Yan Feng's actions showed that the person he really wanted to deal with was Pei Zhongtian.
Pei Zhongtian frowned.
Pei Qingyu paused and reminded: "After all, you are the leader of the Pei family. The Cheng family probably did this to control and dismantle the entire Pei family by dealing with you."
After the words fell, the room fell silent.
After a long time, Pei Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "This is indeed the most likely reason..."
He is the backbone of the entire Pei family. Both of his sons failed to live up to their expectations and failed to achieve success. If Pei Qingyu hadn't come back later, he might not have been able to find a qualified heir.
If you want to defeat this Pei family, you only need to start with Pei Zhongtian.
Whenever he falls, the entire Pei family will collapse like a building.
What is the purpose of the Cheng family's plan?
…
At this time, Yan Feng was staying in his room.
It was getting late, but he had no intention of resting.
The candle burned quietly, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and there was a cold look between his brows.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Pei Zhongtian's courtyard, with a sneer on his lips.
Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Although the status of the Pei family has risen after the hunting competition, the situation that there are not many strong people in the whole family has not changed much.
As long as Pei Zhongtian is captured, the rest will have nothing to fear.
That Pei Qingyu is indeed a genius, but it's a pity that he will never have the opportunity to grow again.
Yanfeng took a sip of tea and continued to wait.
…
Secret room.
The dark and cramped cell was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Dried black and red blood could be seen faintly between the cracks of the floor tiles, which was shocking.
There is a whole row of torture instruments placed next to it, which makes people shudder just by looking at it.
In the middle, a man who looked to be in his forties was kneeling on the ground, his body covered in scars.
He lowered his head, his hair was disheveled, and he was motionless, as if he was dead.
Only his weak breathing and body shaking slightly due to pain showed that he was still alive.
There were footsteps coming from outside, step by step, as if they were stepping on his heart.
The closer he got, the tighter his heart tightened.
But he still didn't move, and he didn't even raise his head to take a look and see who was coming.
