Once Pei Jiangchao was taken away, someone from the government called the Pei family to inform them.
When Old Master Pei found out about the situation, his entire body went limp and he almost fainted.
To his astonishment, Zheng Zhuoming had the recording of their conversation in the study.
In that case, he and Pei Jianghai would be implicated because they protected Pei Jiangchao and even tried to find a scapegoat.
However, how did Zheng Zhuoming get the recording?
Master Pei's first reaction was to suspect that there was a spy in the Pei family, because the Pei family's house was heavily guarded. It was very easy for outsiders to get in.
However, if the spy was very powerful, he or she might be able to avoid the Pei family's security.
However, he needed to investigate the details.
After Old Master Pei hung up the phone, he didn't have time to catch his breath. Instead, he immediately called the butler over to investigate who had entered the study over the past few days and who was outside the study at that time yesterday.
Because the Pei family was a rich family, there were surveillance cameras installed in all the public spaces in the house, except for private spaces, in case of accidents.
However, after the investigation, the housekeeper and Master Pei were the only ones who entered the study alone.
Because Master Pei didn't let the housekeeper come in to clean the study, he let the housekeeper do it. Master Pei trusted the housekeeper completely, so he wouldn't doubt him.
Other people, including his biological sons, Pei Jiangchao and Pei Jianghai, weren't allowed to enter the study without Master Pei's permission.
Of course, Master Pei wouldn't doubt them.
However, the surveillance cameras outside the study were all broken at that time yesterday, so they couldn't find anything.
In that case, it was obvious that the spy had come close to the study to record the conversation and had destroyed the surveillance cameras in advance.
However, how did he or she do it?
In addition, this was the second floor. If he or she wanted to record the conversation, he or she had to climb to the window on the second floor.
No matter what, the investigation showed that the spy had destroyed the surveillance cameras outside first, then climbed to the window to record the conversation.
Although the surveillance cameras outside the study were all broken, the other places were fine, so they began to investigate the surveillance cameras in other places to see if they could find anything.
Because they hadn't found out who had recorded the conversation, all the servants in the Pei family needed to be investigated.
Even so, what should not have been exposed had already been exposed. Now, the Pei Clan was in trouble.
Old Master Pei couldn't catch his breath. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. This time, it wasn't just Pei Jiangchao's problem. It also involved him and Pei Jianghai.
If they hadn't known that it was Pei Jiangchao who had kidnapped Dai Xiongyu and hadn't suggested that Pei Jiangchao find someone to take the blame, he and Pei Jianghai wouldn't be in trouble.
Before the incident happened, they certainly couldn't watch Pei Jiangchao get into trouble, but after the incident was exposed, he regretted knowing that Pei Jiangchao had kidnapped Dai Xiongyu.
If they didn't know that Pei Jiangchao kidnapped Dai Xiongyu and didn't help him cover up, then Pei Jiangchao would be the only one who was in trouble now.
However, they were selfish and heartless. This was originally Pei Jiangchao's problem. Now that he had implicated them, the Pei family would be finished if they were also in trouble.
However, they were only covering up for Dai Xiongyu, and Dai Xiongyu wasn't hurt, so Pei Jiangchao's crime wasn't very serious.
Even if they were given a light sentence, they would be sentenced to half a year or a year in prison.
If he and Pei Jianghai were sentenced to half a year or a year in prison, the Pei family would suffer a disastrous decline.
However, if the Dai family was willing to settle it privately, they only needed to pay a sum of money, and everything would be fine.
Of course, it only referred to him and Pei Jianghai, because they were only covering up for Dai Xiongyu. As long as the Dai family was willing to settle it privately, they could, but Pei Jiangchao couldn't. After all, he had committed a serious crime.
He didn't hurt Dai Xiongyu, so he wouldn't be sentenced to a heavy sentence. However, it was necessary for him to be sentenced to two or three years in prison.
However, the Dai family couldn't wait to see the end of the Pei family. How could they be willing to settle it privately?
Even though he knew that, Old Master Pei had to try to fight for it. At least there was hope if he fought for it. If he didn't, there would be no hope at all.
Not long after Old Master Pei learned about it, Pei Jianghai also found it unbelievable, so he called Old Master Pei at once.
"Father, do you know that Jiangchao was taken away?" Pei Jianghai asked.
"Yes, I do," Old Master Pei said with a deep voice.
"How did they get the recording? Is there a spy in our family? Have you investigated it yet?" Pei Jianghai asked.
"Yes, but I haven't found out who did it yet." Old Master Pei then told Pei Jianghai everything.
"What? The surveillance cameras were all destroyed? Could it have something to do with the staff in the control room? "Pei Jianghai asked.
"It has nothing to do with the control room, because the surveillance cameras in the control room aren't broken. No one has touched them," Old Master Pei said.
"Then how did the surveillance cameras break? Even if someone did it, they should have recorded the scene before the surveillance cameras were destroyed, right? "Pei Jianghai asked. He felt that it was very strange.
Old Master Pei finally realized the problem when he heard this. That's right! Even if someone did it, they should have recorded the scene before the surveillance cameras were destroyed. However, nothing was recorded, and the surveillance cameras broke all of a sudden.
They still didn't know how the surveillance cameras broke.
"No, so we can only continue to investigate it. As for the exposure of the recording, I think we should take the initiative to apologize to the Dai family and see if we can settle it privately. If something happens to us, the Pei family will be doomed," Old Master Pei said. Old Master Pei said. He only cared about himself and Pei Jianghai now. If he tried to settle Pei Jiangchao's matter privately, he was afraid that he would anger the Dai family even more.
"Can we turn to the Yuan family for help?" Pei Jianghai asked. He felt that it was unrealistic to settle it privately with the Dai family, but if there was no other way, he could only agree.
"The Yuan family is in a lot of trouble now. I'm afraid they can't help us, but I'll call Old Master Yuan first. If they don't help us, we can only rely on ourselves," Old Master Pei said.
Hearing that, Pei Jianghai agreed, so he didn't say anything more.
After the two of them hung up, Old Master Pei immediately called Old Master Yuan. However, Old Master Yuan did not pick up the phone.
