Chapter 914: Hatred

"Even if I truly liked you, I would only like that kind-hearted girl, not the you of now." Chen Yu stared at Tang Xue and said, "Look at yourself, what do you look like now?"

Tang Xue was stunned. She hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yu's hands with both of hers, and begged, "Brother Chen, I will change. I will go back to how I was before."

"Tang Xue..." Chen Yu slowly pushed her hands away. "You can no longer go back. Once evil thoughts appear in a person's heart, they can never return to the past. So, take care of yourself."

"Take Tang Xue back to Shengjing and hand her over to the Heaven War Pavilion to handle. The forces behind her are very strong, so be sure to be careful." Chen Yu dialed a phone number.

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

A moment later, several men in black walked up and dragged Tang Xue away.

"Brother Chen, are you really this heartless?" Tang Xue stared fixedly at Chen Yu, and she cried out resentfully, "I hate you, I hate you, Chen Yu..."

Tang Xue was dragged away in the end, but the resentful look in her eyes after she left made Chen Yu sigh somewhat.

What was the reason that made her become like this? Was it because of him? Chen Yu laughed at himself, then he shook his head and left this place.

At another safe location, Chen Yu met Zhang Xu and Zhou Yuqing.

Chen Yu had long sensed that there was a problem with Tang Xue, so while sending her away, he also had the two of them relocate and set up an ambush at the original place.

Sure enough, after Chen Yu left, someone attacked the safe house where the two had originally been, but all the attackers were captured.

"Mr. Chen, I have already obtained information on several other victims. Give me some time, and I can contact them," Zhang Xu said.

"There is no time. Things are progressing too fast; we must act tonight," Chen Yu said. "Otherwise, Pei Yuan will run away."

"Act tonight?" Zhou Yuqing and Zhang Xu were taken aback. "But are we prepared?"

"You just need to be responsible for your own matters. As long as the things in your hands can prove that your parents and relatives were all killed by Pei Yuan, that is enough," Chen Yu said.

"That is no problem. The things in our hands are enough for him to die a hundred times over," Zhang Xu said in a deep voice.

"Then let's act," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Tonight, the Pei Family will be destroyed."

Tonight in Jinling, it was destined to be somewhat unusual.

In a Half-Mountain Villa somewhere in Jinling, inside an extremely luxurious hall, a man in his fifties was crazily smashing the things in the room to pieces.

This man was none other than Pei Yuan. The Half-Mountain Villa was an estate, an architectural imitation of European royalty, a tens-of-thousands-of-square-meter estate that was entirely private territory.

Moreover, the decorations inside his room were very luxurious; the furniture of all sizes, down to the lamps and tea sets, were all custom-imported items.

It was just that now, these precious items had been smashed to pieces by him.

A group of bodyguards waited to the side, watching the furious Pei Yuan. Everyone kept their heads down; now that Pei Yuan was in the heat of his anger, no one dared to step forward and court disaster.

"It has been several hours. Who can tell me the reason? Our stronghold had just relocated, so why was it targeted by the military? Where is my son now? Speak!" Pei Yuan roared.

"President Pei..." A butler cautiously approached and said carefully, "As for the stronghold, it was the young master who brought people there, and then the military appeared inexplicably."

"Preliminary investigation suggests that the young master's car had a tracker installed on it..."

"This piece of trash, why didn't he die? Why is he still alive? He ruined my big plans," Pei Yuan roared in anger.

"This... the young master died from a gunshot wound during the chaos. His remains are currently with the military," the butler gritted his teeth and said the matter out loud.

"He is dead?" A flash of powerlessness crossed Pei Yuan's eyes, and he collapsed onto the sofa with a thud.

Although this youngest son only knew how to eat, drink, and play, he was, after all, Pei Yuan's son. Now that his son was dead, it was impossible for him not to be sad and heartbroken.

"Then what about the eldest? Why hasn't he been bailed out yet?" Pei Yuan raged.

"The eldest young master is currently injured, but his life is not in danger. We have already pulled many strings, and even used the connections of the Jinling General Director, but it was useless. The military and the government are two different systems."

The butler said, "I have already contacted the Sword Mansion and asked them to use the Outer Sect Disciples working in the military department to apply pressure, but at the earliest, we will have to wait until tomorrow to have news."

"Then hurry up, I want to know his news quickly," Pei Yuan roared. "Everyone, get out."

Most of the people in the room retreated, leaving only the butler behind.

"What else do you have?" Pei Yuan said, feeling distracted and uneasy.

"Sir, this matter is unusual. I think we should still prepare for two possibilities," the butler hesitated and said.

"What is unusual about it? We have the Tiance Sword Mansion backing us. If something really happens, we can just find a few scapegoats to take the fall," Pei Yuan raged. "I don't believe anyone would actually investigate."

"That is how it is said, but the Sword Mansion has not been very peaceful these past few days," the butler hesitated and said. "I heard that the Third Elder, Duan Ziqi... had his head cut off and hung above the sect."

"There is such a thing?" Pei Yuan's eyelids twitched. "Who is so bold as to dare to challenge the Sword Mansion? Is it the other two sects?"

"No, I heard it came from Shengjing, and the background is very significant," the butler said. "So this matter carries a hint of the unusual."

"How is it not normal?" Pei Yuan also began to take it seriously.

"Coming from Shengjing and daring to challenge the Sword Mansion, this shows that the Sword Mansion's actions over these years have already caught the attention of those above," the butler said cautiously.

Pei Yuan's expression changed drastically. With the butler's reminder, he suddenly realized that there was indeed a problem.

Indeed, the Sword Mansion was the boss in the Jiangnan region, and even looking at the whole of Huaxia, it was one of the top existences.

But the sharp weapon of the state was not something a single sect could contend with, and the Tiance Sword Mansion's style of conduct over these years should have made those above feel threatened.

So if this time it was people from Dragon Breath who came, it was not impossible.

"What you said... is not without reason."

Pei Yuan's expression began to turn grave. He slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the room, appearing somewhat restless.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped his footsteps, stared at the butler, and said, "Li Jian, you have been with me for twenty years. Do you think that with the current strength of the Tiance Sword Mansion, even if it were Dragon Breath, what are the chances of them wanting to move against them?"

"President Pei, do you really want to hear the truth?" Li Jian gave a bitter smile.

"Of course, I want to hear the truth," Pei Yuan said with a cold expression. "I don't understand Dragon Breath, but I think that the Tiance Sword Mansion is one of the top-ranked sects in Huaxia. If Dragon Breath wants to move against them, don't they also have to consider many things?"
