Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Scheming Against Her

Pei Yansi heard her reply and was clearly dissatisfied with her answer.

He stood up, pushed Shen Heyu back under him, and bending down, he whispered in her ear, panting, "But I’m still feeling uncomfortable..."

After saying that, Pei Yansi didn’t give her a chance to react and sealed her lips directly.

"Mmm..."

A low moan spilled from Shen Heyu’s mouth.

When the night had finally fallen, Pei Yansi relented.

Both their bodies were soaked with sweat. Pei Yansi carried her into the bathroom, where he filled the bathtub with hot water and then, holding Shen Heyu, lay down in it.

He began to wash her by hand, squeezing shower gel and lathering her body with foam while asking, "What do you plan to do about this?"

He was speaking to her nicely, not forcing her to make a decision.

He wanted to hear Shen Heyu’s own judgment regarding Shen Jiangli.

He didn’t want to hear her protecting that man.

At the same time, he had some selfishness, hoping to use this opportunity to estimate Shen Jiangli’s position in her heart. Especially after what happened with Shen Fanshuang, he was uncertain whether Shen Heyu still harbored hard feelings toward Shen Jiangli.

Thus, her attitude would determine the ruthlessness of Pei Yansi’s actions towards Shen Jiangli.

He wanted to be cruel.

But considering that Shen Jiangli had been with Shen Heyu for so many years, if she still felt gratitude or affection for him, going too far would surely drive her away from him.

He didn’t want that outcome.

Shen Heyu fell silent for a while and then looked at him seriously as she replied, "As long as you find evidence, enough to send him to prison, to pay for my sister’s life, he means nothing to me."

Shen Heyu considered herself not a weak person, especially since Pei Yansi’s actions this time had crossed her emotional boundaries.

How could she possibly still see him as a friend?

Pei Yansi squinted his eyes, staring at her for a long while, discerning the truthfulness of her words.

He didn’t want her to lie to him.

After a long look, and finding no deception, he finally said, "I will help you, to make him give you an explanation. But I have a condition."

Shen Heyu blinked, looking at him, "I won’t agree."

Pei Yansi frowned.

He had not even mentioned what the condition was, and she had already outright refused.

He said, "Don’t you need my help?"

Pei Yansi gently persuaded, "If I take action for you, it could ensure Shen Jiangli never rises again. At least, he could pay the corresponding price for the incident with Shen Fanshuang."

Shen Heyu shook her head, "I’ve already learned enough from you; the rest, I can go to the police."

Pei Yansi laughed as if he’d heard a funny joke, spreading the shower gel on Shen Heyu’s body, rubbing it in as he spoke, "If reporting to the police were truly effective, he wouldn’t have been above the law all these years."

Upon hearing this, she was stunned for a moment. In that instant, she truly felt that Pei Yansi had a point.

After all this time, Shen Jiangli hadn’t faced any legal sanctions. What that implied, she was certainly aware.

She said, "So what do you want?"

Pei Yansi replied, "Just do as I say, and I’ll take care of this matter for you."

Shen Heyu hung her head, not wanting to agree. Without thinking, she knew that Pei Yansi wanted her to obediently comply, and that this matter was definitely about keeping her by his side forever.

In the end, it was just another cage.

Pei Yansi saw that she didn’t want to agree. He picked up the showerhead, washed the foam off her body, and slowly said, "You need to think this through, if you don’t have my help, trying to handle him would be as hard as climbing to heaven."

"After all, you know who he is, and besides, if you don’t have my protection, the kind of thing that happened today will definitely continue to occur in the future."

Shen Heyu remained silent.

She had to admit, what he said wasn’t without reason.

If Pei Yansi didn’t intervene on her behalf, Shen Jiangli wouldn’t be punished, and she herself had no evidence to prove his misconduct toward her.

Even if she could prove it, Shen Jiangli would manipulate things from the shadows, ensuring that the law couldn’t touch him.

Shen Heyu always knew that the law was just a toy for the rich.

She raised her head and looked earnestly at Pei Yansi, saying, "If I don’t agree with you, will you let this matter go?"

Shen Heyu was testing the waters.

She found it hard to believe, knowing that Pei Yansi always had the strongest possessiveness, and was easily jealous, that he would just let it slide after what Shen Jiangli had done to her.

He should take action, right? If he did, Shen Jiangli would surely not dare to do anything to her again.

Pei Yansi observed Shen Heyu’s expression and almost instantly pierced through her thoughts. A hint of calculation flashed in his eyes as he said, "No."

"Why?" Shen Heyu asked curiously. The words had barely left her lips when she realized she had asked the wrong question, and quickly added, "I mean, are you just going to take a beating for nothing?"

Pei Yansi’s lips curved into a meaningful smile, "Right, as you saw, he had a weapon. I’m no match for him."

It was intentional.

He knew that Shen Heyu was trying to use him. She didn’t want to listen to him, but she wanted him to teach Shen Jiangli a lesson.

In truth, even if she didn’t agree, Pei Yansi wouldn’t just swallow his pride over today’s grievance.

Especially not what Shen Jiangli had done to her, which he absolutely couldn’t tolerate. But to make Shen Heyu comply, he pretended otherwise.

"I’m not his match, and even if I were, it would require enormous manpower and resources. If you’re not willing to comply, I truly have no motivation to do these things for you."

Having finished his words, Pei Yansi had also finished helping her bathe. He casually reached for the bathrobe nearby, wrapped it around Shen Heyu, and carried her out.

As they walked, he said, "So you see, if you want me to do something for you, to make sure Shen Jiangli can’t lay hands on you again, you’ve got to offer something in return, don’t you?"

He walked to the bed, set Shen Heyu down, and by now it was already dark outside. Neither of them had eaten, and just as she lay down, her stomach growled.

She felt a bit embarrassed—here they were discussing serious matters, and her stomach was singing.

Pei Yansi noticed her discomfort and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes, "What would you like to eat?"

Shen Heyu shook her head, "Let’s clarify this matter first."

"What matter?"

"What compensation do you want?" she asked knowingly. She still wanted to leave herself an out, "In any case, I won’t be accompanying you 24 hours a day."

Pei Yansi smiled inwardly.

He couldn’t hide the triumph in his eyes.

He felt as if the wounds on his body no longer hurt, the little white rabbit had fallen into his trap. He held back his smile, pretending to be serious:

"It’s not like that, staying by my side 24 hours a day, you wouldn’t find that tedious. I just want you to take your daughter and obediently come home with me."
