When Pei Jiao woke up, she realized that her limbs were tied up. Her vision was dark and she could not see anything. It was still unknown what kind of environment she was in. She tried to curl her knees and found that she couldnât move.
âYouâre awake!â A strange manâs voice came from straight ahead.
Pei Jiao slowly raised her head. Although she could not see anything, her intuition told her that she was looking in the direction of the man.
Pei Jiao found this voice vaguely familiar. But she couldnât remember where sheâd heard it before.
Until the man spoke againâ
âDonât be afraid. In mv hands. youâre either safe and sound. or youâre safe and sound.â The manâs tone was mixed with a hint of frivolity as he slowly leaned in front of Pei Jiao. âNow, 1 have good news for you. As long as you cooperate with me, the chances of you being safe and sound are higher!â
Pei Jiao could feel the man approaching. She smelled strong tobacco, acrid and unpleasant. The action of leaning back was her disdainful attitude, and this inadvertent little movement made the man laugh. That laughter was low and deep, making oneâs hair stand on end.
Pei Jiao probed, âBeiyang?â The manâs laughter suddenly disappeared. Pei Jiao knew that she had guessed correctly, but what she did not understand was, âWhy did you kidnap me?â
Beiyang was Beikeâs biological brother. She had met Beiyang a few times at the Xingzhou Guild, but Beiyang did not have a good relationship with Beike. The conflict between the two brothers was very deep.
She wondered if Beiyangs kidnapping this time had anything to do with Beikeâ¦
After a long while, Beiyangs voice came. It was as low and cold as ever. âCan you distinguish people by their voices?â
âYes,â Pei Jiao admitted. âYou havenât answered my question.â
âWhatâs the hurry!â Beiyang grabbed Pei Jiaoâs chin. He exerted a little force, forcing her to look up.
Pei Jiao was unwilling to cooperate. Her jaw twisted.
Beiyang warned coldly, âIf you move around again, I donât mind dislocating your jaw for a few minutes. Just these few minutes are enough for you.â
Pei Jiao wanted to struggle again. Beiyang slowly exerted strength on his wrist. Pei Jiao cried out in pain and did not dare to move again. Seeing that she had become obedient after learning her lesson, Beiyang was satisfied. âYou donât take the soft approach, but the hard one. Youâre asking for trouble.â
Pei Jiao swallowed and felt a chill run down her spine. Even though she could not see anything, she could feel the threat coming from Beiyang. Beiyang studied Pei Jiaoâs face closely. Although she was blindfolded, it did not affect his admiration at all.
Pei Jiao hated such dominance. She frowned. âHave you forgotten that the Pei family is behind me?â
âHahahahaâ¦!â Beiyangs wanton laughter came. âYou can even know itâs me from my voice. How can I not know that youâre from the Pei family? Have you forgotten what I just said? Youâll be fine. At most, youâll suffer a little for the next two days. Besides, 1 donât want to offend the Pei family. I just want something. When I get it, Iâll let you go.â
Wanted something? She had disappeared from the base for more than a month and did not owe anyone anything. What did Beiyang mean?
As she was thinking, the black cloth in front of her was removed, and the blazing light blinded Pei Jiao. She subconsciously turned her head. After a while, she barely opened her eyes. She turned her head and Beiyangs half-smiling face came into view. She composed herself and said, âLong time no see.â
Beiyang replied, âItâs been a long time.â
Pei Jiao asked, âAm I still in the capital?â
âYes! Of course!â Beiyang grabbed Pei Jiaoâs shoulder and thoughtfully helped her up from the ground. Then, he sat her on the chair beside him. âIâve let you suffer.â
Pei Jiao was very cooperative. She knew better than to make a scene. Because she knew that Beiyang was different from Beike. He was too ruthless and was best at being ruthless when talking. He was a pervert.
Pei Jiao was not afraid of hooligans, baddies, or people stronger than her, because these people always had room to deal with them. However, she was afraid of perverts, because perverts were the most unfathomable.
Pei Jiao moved the corners of her lips and forced a smile. âIs it convenient to say what you want?â
Beiyang smiled. âGood question.â Then, Pei Jiao calmed herself down and listened to Beiyang say, âA document.â
Pei Jiao asked, âWhat document?â
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a tall foreigner entered. His name was Martin and he was Beiyangs subordinate. After Martin came in, he walked straight to Bei Yang and leaned over to whisper, âSecond Young Master is here.â
Since they were close, Pei Jiao could roughly hear it. Beiyang laughed softly. âLook at my move. Itâs so accurate. Kidnapping him is useless. Kidnapping Pei Jiao made him compromise immediately.â
âLetâs go and see my lover brother!â As he spoke, Beiyang was about to get up.
And Martin wasnât finished. âThereâs someone else who came with the second young master.â
Beiyang didnât take it seriously and asked casually, âWho?â
Martin said, âOne of the participants in completing that secret document, Dr. Wei.â
Beiyangs eyes flashed with disbelief. He quickly turned to look at Pei Jiao and suddenly laughed. ââ¦l didnât expect that Dr. Wei would actually come. Pei Jiao, youâve really impressed me. Your business ability hasnât been very good for the past two years, but youâre very good at charming people. If I can keep Dr. Wei here today, youâll take credit.â
Pei Jiaoâs heart sank.
Beike had naturally come to confront Beiyang and resolve the matter.. Why was Wei Yu here at this time?
