Chapter 251: Chapter 251: A Match Made in Heaven, A Couple Destined to Be Together

Pei Liyan simply looked at her with deep eyes. "Intuition."

Qiao Rui: "....."

Pei Liyan was quite calm, saying such a reason without feeling any shame.

"Are you so confident in your intuition?" Qiao Rui felt that men seemed to have a kind of blind confidence.

Pei Liyan nodded and said, "I should say I’m very confident about winning against you."

Qiao Rui let out a snort of laughter, "That’s really quite a coincidence, I’m also very confident in my intuition."

"So I think we are evenly matched, a natural pair." Pei Liyan smiled slightly.

Qiao Rui tugged at the corner of her mouth; Pei Liyan’s skin was truly thick enough to circle the equator several times.

She naturally wouldn’t be polite and mocked, "I’m hardly a match for you, Mr. Pei. You are pure and flawless, and when it comes to feelings, you are so devoted, faithful until death."

Hearing Qiao Rui’s sarcasm, Pei Liyan didn’t get angry, just looked at her deeply with his eyes and replied, "Since you know I’m very devoted, you should know that I won’t let go easily."

Meeting the man’s persistent gaze, Qiao Rui felt tense and then averted her eyes.

The more he talked, the more shameless he became. Couldn’t he hear that she was mocking him?

Yet he still climbed up the pole, which was truly unbearable.

Qiao Rui didn’t continue to argue with him.

She calmed down, thinking about where she had gone wrong that made Pei Liyan believe the kidnapping was real.

And after thinking for a long time, she still felt that this was a staged kidnapping.

Because there were too many doubts.

But then seeing Pei Liyan’s confident demeanor, Qiao Rui was still a bit puzzled as to why he would say that.

At that moment, her phone vibrated, a message.

Qiao Rui checked the message without showing any reaction, and upon reading it, her face changed imperceptibly.

Pei Liyan by her side caught all of this.

Huang Ying said Qiao Xiang and He Lan had been kidnapped, and they were still investigating the details of the kidnappers.

"Received a message?" Pei Liyan spoke.

Qiao Rui was startled, her eyebrows tightened as she glanced at him, ignoring his remark.

Pei Liyan looked ahead at the road, "You’re too confident in your own judgment and reasoning, but sometimes, you overlook the essence."

"Is that so?" Qiao Rui frowned, "Judgment and reasoning, aren’t you relying on them too? Even though you call it intuition, intuition can sometimes be even more unreliable than judgment and reasoning."

Pei Liyan calmly retorted, "Yes, like my intuition that you’re a simple girl, but it turns out you really have a scheming mind and capabilities."

Qiao Rui huffed, "Then your intuition is wrong."

"So, I’m going to bet once more," Pei Liyan said, "If I win the bet, don’t forget our wager."

Qiao Rui blushed and looked at the road ahead, suddenly changing the subject, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"One minute," Pei Liyan’s voice was faint, "You don’t need to change the subject, think about our wager."

Qiao Rui’s eyes darkened, "Let’s talk about it when you win!"

"Fine, wait and see."

Qiao Rui took out her cell phone and sent a message to Huang Ying: Check the details of the other party, is this a real kidnapping or a trap set by Qiao Xiang?

Huang Ying replied with a message: Received.

Pei Liyan was right next to her, and though he wasn’t looking at her, he noticed Qiao Rui’s action from the corner of his eye.

She really was extraordinary.

Soon, the car arrived at the Haitian Building, and from a distance, Qiao Rui was astonished by this iconic structure.

She naturally knew that Pei Liyan had a private residence here, which was very luxurious.

But this time, they had first stayed at Ludao, and today, he said they would move here.

Then the incident of Qiao Xiang and He Lan being kidnapped occurred.

After the car arrived, Pei Liyan called Lu Heming on the phone, "Find the exact location, and don’t startle the snake."

"Yes, President Pei."

The car reached the approximate spot, and Qiao Rui looked closely at the local geography. Three hundred meters south of the Haitian Building was a cultural center.

Beside it was a cultural street. The previous location could only be narrowed down to this cultural center and the cultural street, and there were many shops along this street.

Pei Liyan drove the car directly into the cultural center.

The security guard didn’t even stop the car.

Only then did Qiao Rui realize that Lu Heming’s car was leading the way.

Several cars entered the parking lot of the cultural center.

Pei Liyan said to her, "Get out of the car!"

Qiao Rui nodded, "Pei Liyan, may I ask you one more time?"

Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow.

"How exactly are you so sure?"

"Men die for money, birds die for food," Pei Liyan gave only eight words in reply.

Qiao Rui still frowned, finding him a bit mysterious.

But the message from Huang Ying let Qiao Rui know that this matter wasn’t so simple.

After getting out of the car, Lu Heming led them into the cultural center.

A person in charge of the cultural center came up, "Mr. Lu, the room you requested is ready, please follow me!"

"Alright, much appreciated!" Lu Heming followed.

He Zheng walked ahead with big strides.

Pei Liyan walked behind He Zheng with Qiao Rui, with Fang Mo and Si Ran following them.

The group entered a spacious conference room on the first floor, and the person in charge left.

Lu Heming said, "I had this room prepared as a temporary command center, and at the same time, I had people check the security footage of entrances and exits along the entire cultural street."

"Very good!" Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "Heming, check all the friends of Qiao Xiang who have been in contact with her."

At this, Qiao Rui became alert.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. Could it be?

She turned her gaze to Pei Liyan.

Just then, he also looked over.

Qiao Rui didn’t look away.

Pei Liyan slightly raised his eyebrows, understanding she might have thought of something.

Qiao Rui wasn’t sure if she was correct, but she suddenly felt that she might not necessarily lose this bet.

Yet Pei Liyan acted as if she was sure to lose.

Qiao Rui gently huffed and turned her head to He Zheng, saying, "Mr. He, Mr. Pei says that this kidnapping is real."

He Zheng looked at Pei Liyan suddenly, holding out hope, but after Qiao Rui’s remark, he became worried.

Pei Liyan nodded and met He Zheng’s worried eyes, "Don’t worry, I won’t let them be harmed."

"How can I not worry? What if they kill the hostages?" As soon as He Zheng thought about He Lan’s stubborn temper, he felt a headache coming on, "You know what He Lan is like, what if she angers the kidnappers?"

"They want money, a hundred million," Pei Liyan said solemnly, "He Lan won’t be harmed."

Although He Zheng was full of worries, he still said, "Right, she will definitely be fine. This incident will teach that brat a lesson. She doesn’t rest well in the middle of the night and insists on going out."

Seeing him say this, Lu Heming comforted, "Mr. He, please rest assured, my efficiency in handling matters in Liancheng is still quite good."

He Zheng nodded, appearing much calmer, "I’m not worried about your efficiency; I’m worried about He Lan’s stubbornness, and Qiao Xiang is the same. They both need to learn a lesson."

Now they were just waiting for news.

Suddenly, Pei Liyan’s phone rang.

He glanced at it and answered, his lips parting softly, "Speak!"
