Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Disappearing Into Thin Air

Outside the Pei Family Mansion.

Qiao Rui and Pei Jibai had already emerged from the secret room, standing in the courtyard of the Pei Mansion, where the bright sunlight made them both squint uncomfortably.

Behind them, the bodyguards had also caught up.

Pei Jibai hadn’t yet recovered from his shock.

He was incredibly excited and couldn’t help but ask Qiao Rui, "Sister-in-law, how are you so skilled? You can even beat the Pei Family’s bodyguards."

"It’s just that they didn’t have time to react, not that I am that impressive," Qiao Rui said indifferently.

"Sister-in-law, if you were so capable, why didn’t you resist from the beginning?" Pei Jibai was very puzzled.

Qiao Rui didn’t answer, only lifting her eyes to look into the distance.

Elder Madam Pei, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Li were walking towards them.

It seemed that the elder madam had received the news from the surveillance side and had hurried over.

In an instant, Elder Madam Pei had stopped in front of Qiao Rui.

She narrowed her eyes, looking at Qiao Rui, and said, "Girl, not bad, getting out of the secret room on your own."

Qiao Rui merely glanced lightly at the elder madam, with several bodyguards behind her.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Elder Madam Pei continued, "I don’t understand, if you were capable of leaving, why wait until now?"

"That’s a question Pei Jibai just asked me," Qiao Rui replied. "The reason I was willing to be detained for three days was out of respect, because you are Pei Liyan’s grandmother."

"Oh?" Elder Madam Pei raised her eyebrows. "So, by escaping today, am I not Pei Liyan’s grandmother anymore?"

"Three days were enough for me to realize that you don’t deserve my respect, so there’s no point in wasting any more time," Qiao Rui said frankly. "In other words, if you don’t know your own limits, don’t talk to me about Pei Family rules. If we must discuss them, let Pei Liyan talk to me!"

"Girl, do you realize how much your arrogance annoys people?" Elder Madam Pei said with a sinister smile. "My Pei Family isn’t a place you can just come and go as you please."

Qiao Rui looked towards the elder madam and said in a cold voice, "I came here not by choice, but because you sent people to capture me."

"It was I who had you brought here, and you think you can just leave easily? Today, I will have the bodyguards teach you some manners," Elder Madam Pei was also surprised that Qiao Rui was able to escape. It was truly shocking.

But that didn’t mean this wretched girl could trample on the rules of the Pei Family just like that.

Qiao Rui cast a fleeting glance at her and continued walking forward.

Pei Jibai saw the elder madam behind him and felt all sorts of protests in his heart.

But he didn’t speak up this time, not wanting to ruin his sister-in-law’s plan.

"Don’t move!" Elder Madam Pei shouted coldly.

Qiao Rui continued walking forward as if she hadn’t heard a word, her expression icy.

She had run out of patience. Everything that needed to be said had been, and she was not going to waste any more time with Elder Madam Pei.

The bodyguards immediately stepped in to block Qiao Rui’s path.

Yet, Qiao Rui continued walking forward.

Elder Madam Pei, accustomed to giving orders, was very embarrassed and angered when Qiao Rui ignored her, exclaiming, "Grab her for me, I want to see just how skilled this damned girl is."

As the elder madam spoke, Qiao Rui had already leaped up, kicking the bodyguard in the chest who was blocking her way.

Following that, she grabbed the bodyguard’s arm and with a pull, there was a "crack," his wrist dislocated.

Qiao Rui didn’t give them any chance, directly flipping the bodyguards to the ground in front of the elder madam.

The entire scuffle was executed sharply and decisively, with no hesitation.

Seeing all of her men down on the ground sent a shock through the elder madam.

Qiao Rui looked at her indifferently and said, "I have given you plenty of face, Elder Madam. It’s best to stop here. If you continue to make a scene, it will only embarrass you."

This time the elder madam was truly frightened.

Her complexion turned a bit pale, but she definitely wouldn’t accept this outcome and was completely enraged.

She scoffed, "It seems you are very skilled indeed."

Qiao Rui was unimpressed.

Pei Jibai, however, detected the towering rage in the elder madam’s tone.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandma, let my sister-in-law leave."

"Shut your mouth, I’ll settle your account later!" Elder Madam Pei sharply rebuked.

Qiao Rui spoke indifferently, "If I wanted to leave, the Pei Family’s bodyguards wouldn’t be able to stop me. However, before I go, I’d like to make one thing clear: I disdain any dirty tricks. If Elder Madam Pei is still fuming and looking for trouble, then be direct. I don’t like beating around the bush. Time is precious, and I don’t want to waste it."

"You really are arrogant," Elder Madam Pei said with a heavy voice.

"My arrogance is based on my own abilities," Qiao Rui replied coolly, looking at the elder madam. "Your arrogance relies on bodyguards. There’s a fundamental difference between us."

"You!" Elder Madam Pei’s face changed color, choked with words.

Qiao Rui glanced at her and said, "That’s enough. Stop doing things unbecoming of your age, it’s highly distasteful."

With that, Qiao Rui left.

None of the bodyguards stopped her.

Elder Madam Pei trembled with anger.

On the other side, Pei Jibai also took off running as if afraid of being caught, quickly catching up to Qiao Rui.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll take you home," said Pei Jibai.

"Forget it, Jibai. Thank you for the gesture," Qiao Rui had reached the door.

Pei Jibai was taken aback, "Are you afraid that Grandma will talk about us or something?"

Qiao Rui gave a faint smile. "That’s not it. After being locked up for so long, I need to go back to take a shower and change clothes. You should too. So that’s it, I’ll take a cab home."

She bid farewell nonchalantly.

And left in a taxi.

But after leaving the Pei Mansion, Qiao Rui disappeared.

Upon receiving news of Qiao Rui’s departure, Pei Liyan was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected her patience to last only three days.

"Find out where she went," Pei Liyan instructed.

"President, we couldn’t find any leads," Fang Mo said. "It’s as if she vanished into thin air."

Pei Liyan frowned tightly. "How could there be no trace?"

"It must be that the young madam deliberately doesn’t want to be found," said Fang Mo.

Pei Liyan tried calling her, but her phone was switched off, unreachable.

He asked Mrs. Feng, who said straightforwardly that after being taken away by Elder Madam Pei’s people, she never returned.

It really did seem like a deliberate disappearance.

Qiao Rui went back to her apartment, took a shower, changed her clothes, and was watching a show when she received a call from Song Muyu.

"Ruirui, I can’t stand it anymore!"

"What happened?" Qiao Rui became anxious instantly upon hearing those words.

"Last night at the Song Family, Song Xun forced himself on me," Song Muyu’s voice was a bit pained. "I couldn’t resist, couldn’t refuse him. He is getting engaged, yet he is still doing this to me."

Qiao Rui paused, then said, "You should come back to Qingcheng."

"The company sent me here; I can’t go back for a few more days," Song Muyu said. "Pei Liyan is also here, do you want to come?"

Qiao Rui replied, "I won’t go."

Whether as Qiao Rui or Ruirui, she didn’t want anything to do with Pei Liyan.

"I think I understand how you feel," Song Muyu laughed bitterly, "I understand if you don’t come, and we can talk about it when we meet—ah—"

As she spoke, Song Muyu’s call was cut off. Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment before urgently shouting, "Muyu?"

From the other end of the phone came a vicious laugh: "Take this bitch down!"

The call ended.

When Qiao Rui tried to call back, there was no answer.
