"Pei Lin. Why haven't I seen you on vacation recently? "
During the weekend, Pei Lin's cousin, Pei Peng, happened to be passing by on a business trip, so he came over for a visit.
He did not come alone, but brought a few of his kin from his hometown.
After lunch, Pei Peng and Pei Shangyu chatted in the study for a while, and when they came out, they saw Pei Lin coming out of her room.
Pei Lin had a deep impression of this cousin.
Not because of anything else, but because this cousin was one of the rare peers who could communicate with their elders as equals, without any restraint.
After seeing it a few times, Pei Lin had a considerable degree of admiration for this cousin.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I went back to play. Maybe it's because my studies have become more demanding, and I don't have much free time." Pei Lin replied politely.
Although the content of the reply was not very appropriate, but as a teenager of her age, no one would purposely pick on her words to find loopholes.
"If you have time, you should also visit your relatives more often. Otherwise, even the closest relatives will slowly fade away as you drift apart. "
Pei Peng was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and a pair of long and narrow eyes, vaguely resembling a phoenix. But his eyes were a rare double pupil.
There was a second pupil in the pupil, and if one looked closely, it would give off a strange feeling of emptiness.
"Okay cousin, I'll come back to see uncle when I have time." Pei Lin quickly replied.
Pei Peng smiled slightly, and without saying anything more, he strode away with the others.
After leaving the Pei residence, the group got into a fully enclosed soundproof car.
The car sped along the street, and soon left the Pei residence, left the city, and quickly drove into an independent manor in the suburbs.
The car slowly slowed down, and stopped by the gate of the manor.
Pei Peng and the others opened the door and got out, and looked up at the manor. They strode in.
The door was already open, and the owner inside seemed to have known that they would come. He opened the door ahead of time.
After they entered, the black metal door slowly closed again.
On the spacious green lawn of the manor, a bald old man in white casual clothes was holding a cue, and with a snap, he hit the ball on the ground.
The flying ball accurately rolled into a tiny hole more than thirty meters away.
"I'm really getting old … Back in the day, I could hit a free kick hole that was more than two hundred meters away with a single stroke." The old man sighed.
Pei Peng smiled and said, "Father, you are old but strong. You are still young and in the prime of your life. You don't look old at all."
"I know my own situation. I can't compare to you youngsters." The old man shook his head. "How was it? How did your third uncle and the others perform this time?"
"Very bad." Pei Peng said casually, "Although Third Uncle has some resources, he is too indecisive. The family's resources and important positions should not be in the hands of such a person. "
"Follow the plan." The old man nodded. "To think that Pei Shangyu would not support his own family, but instead support that peace motion. What a fool."
"Why didn't the person we sent to guide them last time succeed?" he asked.
Pei Peng lowered his head and said respectfully, "I was discovered by the Corpse Demon that was protecting Pei Lin, but it's okay, it's just a small test. He had a rough idea of the resources that Pei Shangyu had at his disposal. The goal has been achieved. "
"Then do it as soon as possible. Take care of Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing. So that there won't be any additional resistance to our plan. "The old man said lightly.
"Rest assured, Father. The arrangements have been made. We just need to wait for the right time." Pei Peng smiled.
The two then changed the topic to other aspects, and did not mention the situation of Pei Shangyu's family.
No matter how strong Pei Shangyu was, the decision to betray the family had already been decided.
"Right, count the number of line-level Corpse Demons we have. We need to cooperate with the Hall of Joy. "The old man suddenly interrupted.
"The Hall of Joy? If they come forward, it would be a great help and cover for our arrangements. "Pei Peng understood.
"That's right. Feng Ling has at least three Faceless level powerhouses. If we do it ourselves, the traces would be too heavy. But if the Hall of Joy does it, it would be much more discreet. Let them take care of Pei Shangyu as well. Killing two birds with one stone. "The old man explained with a smile.
"Father is wise. Pei Shangyu only has Berman by his side. There are no Faceless powerhouses among his other subordinates. They can only rely on themselves. "Pei Peng praised.
"Then, the task of receiving the Hall of Joy will be left to you. Before next month, take care of Feng Ling and Pei Shangyu. No problem, right? "The old man asked.
"Please wait and see." Pei Peng lowered his head and smiled.
…
…
Hiss …
On the curved track between the verdant grass, two racecars, one black and one red, sped along the track at high speed.
The deafening engine was like a giant beast, roaring over and over again.
The red racecar's surface was like a mirror, constantly streaking across the pale yellow sunset in the sky.
Inside the black window, Pei Shangyu pursed his lips as he gripped the steering wheel, his eyes under the helmet were calm and bright.
The two racecars sped all the way across the long, winding track. Finally, they slowed down at a black and white checkered finish line.
The black racecar arrived first, and Pei Shangyu was still a step behind.
He stopped the car, opened the door, and got out with a smile on his face as he looked towards the direction of the black racecar.
A balding middle-aged man also came down from there without any problems.
"Impressive! Still not as good as you. "Pei Shangyu gave a thumbs up.
"Not at all, it's been a long time. If it weren't for you, Shangyu, I wouldn't even be able to see your taillights. "The bald man smiled bitterly.
"I'm not that good." Pei Shangyu laughed.
The two took off their helmets and chatted as they walked towards the rest area.
"Right, Shangyu, I heard that you and the family seem to have some disagreements? Some things are better dealt with as soon as possible. "The bald man said vaguely.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter." Pei Shangyu said indifferently.
"It's a small matter for you, but some people don't think so. Do you have enough manpower around you? Should I bring some people over to help you out? "The bald man suggested.
"It's fine. No matter what, my house is right next to the Pei Family's base camp. Whoever dares to make a move there, isn't that just asking for death?" Pei Shangyu smiled.
"It's better to be careful. The Pei Family … can't be too reliant on them. "The bald man reminded.
But seeing that Pei Shangyu was still indifferent, he sighed in his heart and said no more.
Some things ultimately depended on oneself. But this kind of thing, even the best of friends, not only would it be useless to say too much, it might even have the opposite effect.
So he did not say anything more.
Thinking that the area where Pei Shangyu lived happened to be under the jurisdiction of the Pei Family's eldest uncle, there should not be any problems.
"Speaking of which, Pengpeng came to my house as a guest last time, and brought me a lot of special goods from Savila. Do you want some?" Pei Shangyu gave the bald man an ambiguous look.
"Oh? Savila, is that it? "The bald man's eyes lit up." Yes, of course! "
"I'll send some over later."
