Chapter 917: Can You Run?

"Hmph, if you're going to walk the world of martial arts and lack even this much awareness, how could I have possibly made it to where I am today?" Pei Qing sneered and said, "But Li Jian, you're right; this time, it's the people above who want to move against the Sword Mansion."

"That old man surnamed Wu just now truly had murderous intent toward me. Let them and Chen Yu bite each other; I'm running first," Pei Yuan said coldly. "I have a ton of gold on the plane. Once I get abroad, I'm bound to make a comeback. I will definitely kill my way back."

"President Pei, being abroad is not like being in the country; we need to keep a low profile. Besides, I've followed you for so long, it's time to part ways," Li Jian suddenly said.

"What do you mean? You want to leave?" Pei Qing stretched out his hand, and a pistol pressed against Li Jian's head.

"President Pei, your affairs have already spread. In the eyes of all parties, you are a piece of fat meat. Don't you think it would be very dangerous to follow you?" Li Jian was not afraid.

"I've followed you for twenty years; if I haven't earned any merit, I've at least put in the hard labor. After we leave the country, split some of the goods with me, and let's part ways here."

"The gold is mine; it's money I earned through blood and sweat. You want a share?" With a *click*, the pistol was cocked. Pei Yuan grinned hideously, "Li Jian, you're also a smart man. Why didn't you bring up conditions after we got out? By bringing up these conditions now, aren't you just looking for death?"

"President Pei, I just thought that since we've known each other for so long, you wouldn't kill me. But the facts prove I was wrong; I was truly, absolutely wrong," Li Jian sighed.

Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel, and the car came to a steady stop on the side with a screech.

"What are you doing? Drive," Pei Yuan was startled. The gun in his hand tightened, pressing against Li Jian's head.

"Pei Yuan, didn't expect us to meet again so soon, did you?" Just then, a cold voice came over.

Pei Yuan turned his head and discovered in horror that a military vehicle was parked to the side, and Chen Yu had already been waiting for him there.

"Li Jian, you traitor, I'll kill you first!" Pei Yuan angrily pulled the trigger. If he didn't understand what was going on by now, he would truly be a fool.

But the gun in his hand emitted a *click-click* sound of firing on empty, and no bullets came out.

"President Pei, having followed you for so long, how could I not know what kind of person you are? Knowing early on that you are ruthless and vicious, how could I possibly let your gun have bullets in it?"

Li Jian smiled slightly. He walked out, bowed slightly to Chen Yu, and said, "Mr. Chen, Tianyuan Pavilion member Li Jian, reporting to you."

Tianyuan Pavilion, a department specializing in special intelligence. Su Yan had previously contacted Chen Yu; an undercover agent had long been planted by Pei Yuan's side, and now they had been activated.

"Good, thank you for your hard work," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Li Jian, you bastard, you've been lurking by my side all this time, what are you trying to do?" Pei Yuan roared in anger.

"Pei Yuan, I have collected evidence of everything you've done over these years. You don't need to say anything else; just wait for the judgment of the law," Li Jian sneered.

Pei Yuan was trembling with rage, but things had reached this point. Even if he was unconvinced, there was nothing he could do; he had to bow his head.

"The Tiance Sword Mansion will not let you off," Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"You need to get one thing clear: I came here this time specifically to move against the Tiance Sword Mansion," Chen Yu smiled. "Pei Yuan, you know too many things about the Tiance Sword Mansion."

"So even if they want to take action, they will definitely move against you first. After all, silencing a witness is easier than saving someone. Do you intend to fight us to the death, or do you intend to hand over all the dirt on the Sword Mansion?"

Pei Yuan's expression changed, and Chen Yu's words made him fall into silence.

Yes, he knew a lot of dirt on the Tiance Sword Mansion. Now, the most likely thing for the Sword Mansion to do was to silence him.

"If I say I have a lot of evidence regarding the dirt on the Sword Mansion, will you let me go?" Pei Yuan was silent for a long time before asking.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I want to hear the truth," Pei Yuan nodded.

"Then I can tell you clearly: impossible," Chen Yu said. "At most, I'll let you die a bit more quickly. Given what you've done, even skinning you alive wouldn't relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Then why should I cooperate with you?" Pei Yuan laughed miserably. "Death is inevitable either way. Even if I die, I won't let you have it easy."

"Do you really think that death is the end of it?" Chen Yu smiled. He turned his head to look at Zhang Xu and Zhou Yuqing and said, "Your enemy is right here. Whether to give him a quick end or torture him slowly, that's up to you."

Zhang Xu and Zhou Yuqing's eyes were filled with a strange light.

A Dagger appeared in Zhou Yuqing's hand. She walked forward and raised the Dagger in her hand, her hands trembling slightly.

The person before her was the one who killed the dozen or so members of her family. He was the enemy she had wanted to kill day and night, but now that the enemy was truly before her, and without any power to resist, she couldn't bring herself to strike.

"Come on, kill me! I killed all dozen of your family members. Kill me now to avenge them! Come on, give me a quick end!" Pei Yuan grinned hideously.

Zhou Yuqing's eyes were red, and her tears fell uncontrollably. After a long while, she loosened her hand, and the Dagger fell to the ground.

"Pei Yuan, I admit I can't bring myself to do it, because not everyone is as cruel as you. As long as you are brought to justice and justice is returned to our Zhou Family, that is enough. For what you have done, Heaven will naturally punish you."

Zhou Yuqing turned and left, sobbing slightly to the side.

Zhang Xu said nothing. He walked forward, picked up the knife, and stabbed Pei Yuan's thigh three times in succession.

Pei Yuan screamed in agony. He fell to the ground with a thud and hissed, "If you have the guts, give me a quick end! Come on!"

"Pei Yuan, I won't kill you today either, because Yuqing is right. For everything you've done, Heaven will naturally punish you."

"I stabbed you three times today, let that be my revenge for myself. Future matters will be handled by the state," Zhang Xu turned around and said. "Mr. Chen, I'm done. How to proceed is up to you."

"Good," Chen Yu nodded. "Rest assured, this person will definitely receive the punishment he deserves, but the Tiance Sword Mansion behind him is the real big rat. I will take him to the Tiance Sword Mansion later."

"And people from above will also come to your Zhou Family to restart the investigation procedures from back then. This time, anyone involved will not be spared. Justice will be returned to you."

Tonight in Jinling was destined to be an extraordinary night.

Countless people connected to the Pei Family were investigated. Airports, high-speed rail stations, and roads leading out of the city were all guarded by official personnel.

Many people who had been in cahoots with the Pei Family attempted to flee, but without exception, they were all captured.
