Chapter 1698: Beiping Old Dream: The Beautiful Actor Overpowers the Big Shot 13

~8 min read 1,450 words

Pei Yinnian finished discussing business at the Drunken Fragrance Lodge; it was about opening a new factory.

The new factory also had shares held by a warlord stationed in Beiping; the Pei family provided the funds, and as a guest Pei Yinnian inevitably had to drink, and on the return trip he closed his eyes to rest, unable to hide his weariness.

The originally smooth road was blocked by a police car; the driver glanced outside and actually saw another vehicle from the old residence at the entrance of the Colourful Development Theatre, and hurriedly turned to tell Pei Yinnian.

Get out.

Pei Yinnian pulled out the pistol hidden in the compartment under the seat and quickly got out of the car.

At this time, whoever could come out of the old residence was either Jin Chen or Pei Yiqing.

Pei Yiqing was startled by the police who had rushed over, and the people who came out were shouting that some actor had gone mad, thinking something had happened to Jin Chen, and they didn't have time to ponder whether Xiao Bofeng's words were true or false, rushing inside.

What he saw was Jin Chen's great coat stained with blood, surrounded by a crowd who wanted the police to arrest him.

What are you doing!

Pei Yiqing pushed his way in, shoved aside the police trying to seize Jin Chen, and shouted, 'Do you know he's my older brother Pei Yinnian's man? Who are you trying to arrest!'

You dare to arrest someone, and I don't even want to be scolded!

Jin Chen remained silent, letting Pei Yiqing misunderstand, and only let out a sigh.

It seems Young Master Xiao doesn't intend to let me go.

Pei Yiqing glared and looked at Xiao Bofeng, 'You ordered this?'

Xiao Bofeng: '……'

He felt a bit dazed.

It was indeed that Big Gouzi was told to teach Jin Chen a lesson, but I didn't expect it to stir up so much blood, even summoning the police.

Besides, Jin Chen looks like the one with the lightest injury!

Just then, the crowd made way again.

Pei Yinnian walked over slowly, saw this scene, his brows furrowed, his aura solemn and cold.

Jin Chen seemed to sense something, slowly turned sideways, his dark eyes showing helplessness, and his stern brows and eyes instantly softened.

It was as if he had changed from a rose that could draw blood to a rose that retained only beauty but was fragile.

Mr. Pei……

Mr. Pei!

The chief police officer was startled; he had thought the young man in Western clothes was lying, never expecting he actually belonged to Mr. Pei!

Had I known they'd go through all this trouble.

The police officer secretly glared at the equally frightened deputy squad leader whose face had turned pale.

What's going on.

Pei Yinnian stepped closer and asked Jin Chen in a low voice.

Jin Chen leaned against Pei Yinnian's shoulder, his tone filled with a faint sense of grievance: 'He wants to sleep with me, and even hired thugs to force me to submit.'

His long fingers pointed at the deputy squad leader of the Colourful Development Theatre, Gouzi.

Gouzi: '……'

Damn.

He never expected Pei Yinnian to come rushing over!

Gouzi was so frightened his legs trembled, ignoring the pain on his body, he looked to Xiao Bofeng for help, hoping he could get him off the hook.

This exchange of glances was seen by Pei Yiqing, who felt both disappointed and shocked.

Pei Yiqing gritted his teeth: 'How could you do something like this, slandering another's purity—is this your new idea?'

Xiao Bofeng had just barely soothed him, but in an instant he was thrown back to square one, full of anger.

He took a deep breath and told Pei Yinnian, 'Let's settle this privately and have the police leave.'

Pei Yinnian put his arm around Jin Chen's shoulder, not knowing what he had thought of, and when he lifted his eyes to look at him, he curled his lips.

Exactly what I intended.

The police had to give Pei Yinnian face; besides, there was a Young Master Xiao present, and they would rather not get involved with this hot potato, so they dispersed the onlookers and left in formation.

In the newly tidied room.

The elderly squad leader who had hurried over was shocked speechless, never expecting the foolish son to dare do such a thing, and wished to grab Gouzi and make him kneel to apologize to Pei Yinnian.

On the main seat, Pei Yiqing had his arm around Jin Chen as they sat on the newly moved long soft chair of the attendant, feeling oppressive.

Jin Chen took off his blood-stained great coat and leaned weakly in Pei Yinnian's embrace.

Actually, only his forearm from throwing punches was bruised, and he had bumped it himself.

Pei Yiqing felt he had made a mistake, failing to take good care of the person his older brother liked; he dared not sit, and stood in punishment behind Pei Yinnian.

Xiao Bofeng sat on the left, his face extremely grim; Xu Nanchun stood beside him, her weak gaze occasionally flicking toward Pei Yiqing, only to be glared back by him.

Gouzi's plea for mercy was the first to break the silence; Xiao Bofeng, seeing Pei Yinnian unmoved, said coldly, 'It's just an actor—your companion isn't even hurt, just let him apologize.'

It's just an actor.

Xu Nanchun clasped her hands tightly, closed her eyes, trying not to show a strange expression, while Pei Yiqing frowned, looking at him as if just meeting Xiao Bofeng, his disappointment layered one after another.

Jin Chen glanced up at Xiao Bofeng with a faint look, tightened his hold on Pei Yinnian's hand, and softly complained, 'He scolded me again.'

As he spoke, he was full of grievance, yet leaned against Pei Yinnian's chest; the warm breath on his jaw sparked a faint itch, turning into soft-heartedness and pity.

Moreover, Pei Yinnian is naturally protective of his own.

'Where are you hurt?' he asked Jin Chen.

Jin Chen thought, found the wound, and said, 'Take a look.'

A bruise the size of half a palm, originally not important, but in Pei Yinnian's eyes it was especially glaring.

The atmosphere in the room sank a little further.

Pei Yinnian lifted his gaze, calmly swept over Gouzi, and said, 'Break three fingers.'

Gouzi's face changed drastically, "No…… I can't."

The martial arts performer has lost his fingers; from now on he can't even claim to inherit the Cai Fa Theatre, let alone have a chance to step on stage!

Pei Yinnian: "No one is negotiating with you."

Just as his words fell, the driver who had followed up already drew a dagger, and in Gouzi's pleading voice, firmly pressed his shoulder.

No… can't! Can't! Dad! Save me!

Gouzi shouted, eyes nearly bursting as he stared at the approaching dagger, desperately trying to pull back his hand that was being held down.

The old class monitor was drenched in cold sweat, trembling as he went to look at Pei Yinnian's indifferent face, already knowing in his heart that he would not change the order.

They said it was a punishment for Gouzi, but the real purpose was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys aimed at Xiao Bofeng.

Just being able to keep one's life… would be good.

"Son…" the old class monitor pressed his eyes, shouting loudly: "You've done wrong, you should accept the punishment!"

Hand rose, blade fell.

Three sections of severed finger, mixed with fresh blood, fell to the ground; Gouzi directly fainted from the pain.

Bang!

Xiao Bofeng forcefully slapped the armrest until it cracked; it was obvious what Pei Yinnian's purpose was.

Pei Yinnian, you're something!

Pei Yinnian was unusually calm, leaning slightly back, smelling the agarwood that Jin Chen had buried in his embrace, covering the bloody scent.

Over-praise.

Pei Yiqing glanced at his brother, then at Jin Chen, and after thinking about the slap he had given, he belatedly realized.

They came out this time, it seems they didn't suffer any loss.

Hmm, this is very Pei Family.

Pei Yiqing obediently followed his brother away; now his mind is in a mess, and he doesn't want to see Xiao Bofeng at all.

Jin Chen naturally rode in Pei Yinnian's car; Pei Yiqing remembered something, and before getting in the car he said to his brother: "Brother, it's… it's me who pulled Jin Chen out to play."

Not bad, the help wasn't in vain.

Jin Chen gave a praising glance at Pei Yiqing, then turned his gaze to Pei Yinnian's eyes, and fell silent.

Alright, the wife didn't believe.
