What she was worried about really came true.

Less than two minutes after she hung up, her cell phone rang. It was a short message. Pei Jiao opened it nervously. It was a message and a picture from Beike. In the picture, Beike was half-lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied. His eyes were wide open.

And the message below was: Come and see me.

It was a few short words, with an address attached. Pei Jiao’s eyes darkened and she almost fainted. She finally understood why Wei Yu had not taken the initiative to contact her all morning. Her brother must have taken action. Wei Yu had moved from the hotel to his property in the capital.

Beike was also brought over by him.

Ding!

Another text came in.

Wei Yu: I won’t hurt your friend, but I won’t let him go if you don’t come.

After reading the message from Wei Yu, Pei Jiao instantly had the urge to call the police after a vicious cycle. But she’d obviously thought it all too easy.

Although her brother had already made a move, Beike had always been at Wei Yu’s place. Last night’s dreams were all about Beike being killed. She broke out in a cold sweat.

No one knew what this lunatic Wei Yu would do on impulse. If he hurt Beike, she would never be able to make up for it. One man takes responsibility for his own actions. After weighing the pros and cons, Pei Jiao still found a way to slip out of the door.

Half an hour later, Pei Jiao arrived at the address Wei Yu had sent her.

The famous wealthy district in the capital was in the opposite direction from the Wei family. Pei Jiao lowered the car window and placed her hand on the window sill. She looked up at the tall building that occupied a wide area but only had three buildings.

“It’s really suitable to hide a woman in a golden house.” Pei Jiao said casually, then took out her phone and called Beike. She knew that Wei Yu had Beike’s phone, so she called him directly. It rang for less than two or three seconds before it was hurriedly picked up.

Pei Jiao said, “I’m here.”

Wei Yu’s voice was steady on the phone. ‘1 1 know you’re here,”

Pei Jiao:

In the distance, the door of the district was slowly opening. Then, Pei Jiao saw Wei Yu walk out. His figure was tall and straight, like a pine tree, but his face was extremely cold, like a demon from hell.

Pei Jiao took one look before looking away and locking the car door. Wei Yu walked to the car window and looked at her through the lowered half of the window. “There’s someone nearby. I received a call just as you arrived.”

That was his explanation. He looked much calmer than yesterday. On the other hand, Pei Jiao was not as calm as him. She tried to calm down. “l want to talk to you properly.”

Wei Yu was easy to talk to. “Sure.”

Pei Jiao also said, “l came with sincerity.”

Wei Yu looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. know.

Get out of the car first.’

Initially, Pei Jiao was worried that Wei Yu would open her car door as soon as he came over, so she locked it in time. Seeing that he was so polite, she had nothing to say and pushed open the car door to get out.

The next second, Wei Yu’s broad figure magnified infinitely in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her. There was no tug or out-of-control emotion. He walked calmly to her and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Pei Jiao was stunned. “Can we talk first?” Wei Yu’s voice was deep. “Just a hug.”

Pei Jiao wanted to push him away forcefully, but she suddenly put her hand down. Forget it, it wouldn’t hurt to let him hug her. Only when he was in a normal mood could the two of them talk calmly.

The short hug did not satisfy Wei Yu. Even so, Wei Yu tried his best to restrain himself from doing anything that she hated. After releasing her, he took her hand and laced his fingers together.

Pei Jiao did not like this closeness and tried to break free. Wei Yu said in a low voice, “I’m afraid you’ll leave again.”

Pei Jiao sighed and said helplessly, “1 1 m here to talk to you. We’re not done yet. Why would I leave?”

Wei Yu’s tense jaw finally relaxed a little. But he kept his grip on her hand. On the way in with her, he would specifically tell her, “l bought this property myself before I left the country. I’ve been renovating it while I was abroad. I’ve lived here a few times since 1 returned.’

Pei Jiao pursed her lips. “Oh.”

Wei Yu said, “The decor is very simple, but it can be changed. Or if you don’t like the floor, you can choose again. I’ll order it.”

Pei Jiao:

Wei Yu said, “If you don’t like flats and like villas, I can get someone to look at the houses immediately. They’ll be renovated according to your aesthetic taste and…

“No.” The more Pei Jiao listened, the more confused she became. She had to interrupt Wei Yu. “What do you mean by telling me this?”

By then she had stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at him in confusion. Although they were here to talk, she had angered him with her words yesterday. Did he not have any grudges?

Before Wei Yu could answer, the property manager who passed by bowed enthusiastically and greeted him. “Mr. Wei, are you going out today?”

Wei Yu’s face was cold and he did not answer. The property manager had good eyesight. When he saw the girl beside Wei Yu, he immediately asked, “Is Mr.

Wei going out with his girlfriend today?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yu’s cold face softened visibly. He held Pei Jiao’s hand tightly and replied, “We just came back.”

The property manager smiled brightly and immediately greeted Pei Jiao.

Then, he praised sincerely, “Mr. Wei, your girlfriend is so beautiful.”

Pei Jiao was a little embarrassed by the enthusiastic praise from the property manager. Wei Yu raised his lips and said, “She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”

Pei Jiao turned to look at him. Unknowingly, her heart skipped a beat. She secretly pinched the soft flesh in her palm and reminded herself why she was here today. That property manager’s words were too annoying. She took Wei Yu’s hand. “Let’s go.”

Wei Yu was almost dragged away by Pei Jiao. The property manager, who was standing where he was, waved enthusiastically. “Mr. Wei, fresh vegetables and seafood will be delivered later.’

Wei Yu remembered that Pei Jiao would silently pick up crayfish to eat at the dining table and said to the property manager, “Send another five pounds of crayfish over.”

The property manager said, “Okay, Mr. Wei. The crayfish you want will definitely be delivered.”

Pei Jiao asked as she walked, “Why did you buy so many crayfish?”

At this moment, the smile on      Yu t s lips did not disappear. “Don’t you like to eat it?”

Pei Jiao was stunned. When did he see that she liked crayfish? “l have no intention of staying to eat with you,” she replied coldly.

Wei Yu said, “What if I keep your friend for dinner?”

Pei Jiao stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at Wei Yu fiercely. ‘You’re threatening me again! ” Wei Yu looked at her steadily. “l just want you to stay.”

—We have no possibility!

The words were in Pei Jiao’s throat and would come out in the next second. However, she was afraid that saying this would anger Wei Yu and affect their subsequent conversation, so she swallowed her words. “Take me to my friend first.’

Wei Yu smirked. “We’re all your friends. I’ve never seen you ask me if I’m

Pei Jiao asked coldly, “Then how are you?”

Wei Yu paused for a moment. The next second, the smile returned to the corners of his eyes. The smile he grinned was extremely unlike his usual appearance. It was very bright. “It’s good that you’re here..”
