Chapter 445: Chapter 445 The Gentleman’s Agreement

"Indeed, that’s how scumbags should be treated." Jiang Jinfeng smiled at him and said, "This isn’t about scumbags, it’s about scum—a complete disgrace."

Pei Liyan frowned, thinking about such a scene, inexplicably feeling a bit of pain.

Pain for others.

Jiang Jinfeng, who had been upset for the whole evening, saw Pei Liyan’s expression, smiled, and spoke again, "So, Mr. Pei should be careful not to provoke Qiao Rui. She never shows mercy to scumbags, so Mr. Pei, take care of yourself."

Pei Liyan’s lips twitched involuntarily. "No need for Mr. Jiang to worry about this."

Seeing his expression, Jiang Jinfeng’s mood improved slightly, having been depressed all night. "That’s for the best, considering it’s about happiness and the future."

Pei Liyan glanced at him. "Mr. Jiang, no need to gloat; that day will never come for me."

"Haha!" Jiang Jinfeng laughed. "Mr. Pei, you seem nervous."

Pei Liyan looked at the man in front of him with a proud expression, snorted lightly. "I have nothing to be nervous about; Qiao Rui and Ruirui are the same person, and I feel at ease."

"Only just now feeling at ease, huh? Being so anxious before is definitely a sign of guilt." Jiang Jinfeng didn’t hold back. "You came to me for confirmation because you were afraid of angering Qiao Rui, weren’t you?"

That was indeed true.

If he wasn’t afraid of angering that girl, there wouldn’t be any need for this.

After all, what he did before with Ruirui wasn’t good enough.

Now, knowing it’s the same person, the burden instantly lifted.

"Let’s talk about Lin Tinglei." Pei Liyan wanted to avoid dwelling on this and changed the topic.

Jiang Jinfeng didn’t continue bickering with him and said, "Frankly, Lin Tinglei should be turned into someone like Chen Haimin to vent our anger. But, he’s done too many evil deeds; he should be sentenced to death to satisfy our wrath."

Pei Liyan frowned slightly, "How much evidence do you have against Lin Tinglei?"

"He’s especially despicable." Jiang Jinfeng smiled faintly. "As far as I know, he’s caused deaths. A girl he hurt wanted to sue him, then suddenly fell from the building and died. Her family claimed it was an accidental death."

Pei Liyan was stunned, "Is there a problem here?"

Jiang Jinfeng nodded, "The deceased’s family received 200,000 yuan in compensation from Lin Tinglei."

"200,000 yuan in compensation?" Pei Liyan was baffled, "Is a life only worth 200,000 yuan?"

"For the Lin family’s stinginess, 200,000 yuan was already the limit. Lin Tinglei threatened the family with their young daughter; otherwise, how would they accept just 200,000 yuan?" Jiang Jinfeng continued indignantly, "So, the family claimed it was an accidental fall, and the building management compensated them with 1 million yuan. No one ever said Lin Tinglei killed her."

Pei Liyan nodded slightly, "So based on this, once it’s thoroughly investigated and evidence is found, Lin Tinglei is destined to die."

"One or two incidents might not be enough to kill him, but if there are more, multiple charges combined, it’s enough to take his life. We’re still collecting evidence, and what’s coming next is uncertain. But he’s committed many evil deeds, and the amount of unchecked wrongdoings is far more than this."

Pei Liyan’s expression was particularly stern. "Lin Tinglei is even more detestable than his father."

"Indeed, he surpasses him." Jiang Jinfeng mocked, "The Lin father and son, their level of wrongdoing is indeed greater than their predecessors."

Pei Liyan immediately understood Qiao Rui’s intentions.

Frankly, initial capital accumulation often involves bloodshed; it’s not surprising. The Lin family indeed needs governance.

Before, Pei Liyan found it odd that Qiao Rui was dealing with Lin Tinglei. It seems Lin Tinglei truly deserves this fate.

Jiang Jinfeng looked at the news, which recently covers a lot about the Lin and Qiao families, predicting who will win in their confrontation.

But seeing members of the Lin family being taken away one by one and so much unfavorable news about the Lin family comes out, everyone soon felt the Qiao family would win.

The direction of public opinion changed; no one ever said Qiao Rui was old-fashioned or ugly again.

Some media even hailed her as stunningly beautiful, a former ugly duckling turned swan after marrying Pei Liyan.

They praised Pei Liyan as if he were a flower, as if Qiao Rui’s success was due to Pei Liyan’s wise discernment.

After finishing a pot of tea, Pei Liyan spoke, "Let’s go, time to head back."

Jiang Jinfeng nodded, "Indeed, it’s time to go, but President Pei, your actions trap me in unrighteousness."

"You’ve schemed against me so many times, concealed so many times, yet I’ve said nothing, and now you seek favors from me." Pei Liyan snorted lightly, "That’s the gentleman’s agreement between us; both men, just adhere to it."

"Of course." Jiang Jinfeng spoke solemnly, "I just hope you will never do anything to wrong Qiao Rui in this lifetime."

"No need for you to say that." Pei Liyan answered firmly, "I’m very aware that doing anything to wrong her immediately gives you and the others a chance."

Jiang Jinfeng smiled bitterly, fearing that even if there were a chance, Qiao Rui wouldn’t necessarily give him that opportunity.

In Qiao Rui’s heart, there was always only Pei Liyan.

"President Pei overthinks." Jiang Jinfeng spoke again, "I’ve always adhered to the word ’boundary.’

Pei Liyan listened to his seriousness and nodded, "I trust your character."

"Don’t put such a big hat on me." Jiang Jinfeng laughed, "As long as my conscience is clear, that’s enough."

Pei Liyan smiled knowingly, "A clear conscience is already sufficient."

The two walked out of the teahouse together, and Jiang Jinfeng handed the documents directly back to Pei Liyan.

Seeing Jiang Jinfeng voluntarily return the materials, he knew this person had decent character.

His return also adhered to the gentleman’s agreement.

He increasingly felt that starting with Jiang Jinfeng to discuss this was the right choice.

Both returned to their cars.

Jiang Jinfeng drove off.

Fang Mo whispered to Pei Liyan, "President, Madam has returned to the villa."

"Alright, I’ll head back now." Pei Liyan squinted slightly, smiled, "Keep an eye on the hospital, and control the media at all times."

"Understood." Fang Mo nodded, "President, there’s one more thing to inform you!"

"Speak."

"I noticed Assistant Gu seems to be investigating actress Su Mei and Liang Jinqian." Fang Mo said, "Not sure why they are being investigated."

Pei Liyan paused, eyes deepening, "Previously, I had you investigate Liang Jinqian, what’s the result?"

"We’ve gathered some of his materials, enough to cause his downfall." Fang Mo said, "Enough to ruin him completely."

Pei Liyan spoke solemnly, "Hold onto it, to be used at any time."

"Understood." Fang Mo nodded.
