Pei Man looked at Su Chen's confident deanor and nodded slightly, choosing to trust him.
Although she didn't know where Su Chen's confidence ca from, she knew that he was not a blindly optimistic person; he must have a solid foundation to dare to say such a thing.
This actually piqued her curiosity about Su Chen even more. Who exactly was he, and why did he have such confidence?
"By the way, Su Chen, if you really plan to take action against the major families, I suggest you don't completely let the Pei Family off the hook. At least make it look convincing."
A mont later, Pei Man said, then glanced at Su Chen:
"You should understand the reasoning behind this."
"Okay, I'll do as you say," he replied.
Su Chen nodded slightly. On one hand, Pei Man didn't want the Pei Family to stand apart from the rest, and on the other, this could confuse the other families in so ways.
Of course, as Pei Man had said, he wouldn't really go after them; it was just by the way.
He would have to tell Lin Ruoxue about this when he returned, but it wouldn't really affect the plan she had nearly completed.
"By the way, there's sothing I'm not sure whether I should ask," Su Chen pondered aloud.
"After you've taken liberties with a few tis, why suddenly beco so polite?"
Pei Man looked at Su Chen, with a teasing smile tugging at her lips.
Even with Su Chen's thick skin, he felt rather embarrassed by her comnt.
"This... This..."
He stumbled over his words, unable to articulate anything.
"Pfft!"
Pei Man burst into laughter upon seeing his awkwardness, looking incredibly beautiful as if pear blossoms were blooming.
"Alright, just ask whatever it is, no need to hem and haw," she said, still smiling.
"This... I actually wanted to ask, do you know so secrets of the Five Great Families that others don't?"
Su Chen's real intention in asking this was to see if Pei Man was aware of so underlying matters related to the Five Great Families.
"I really don't know about that," Pei Man shook her head and said.
"I was just asking casually," Su Chen frowned slightly. Actually, this answer was within his expectations; perhaps such matters were only known to the Family Heads of those families.
He had thought that due to Pei Man's special status within the Pei Family, she might know sothing. However, the result turned out to be a disappointnt.
"Alright, it's been over two hours, we should get going!" Su Chen didn't linger on the topic and stood up, smiling as he spoke.
As soon as he said this, Pei Man beca sowhat bashful because of the possible innuendo in his words.
Just as Su Chen was about to escort Pei Man out, he suddenly felt sothing was off. He walked over to Pei Man, crouched down next to her, and then abruptly reached out to grab the hem of her pink dress and violently tore it!
"Rip!"
"Ah!"
A sound imdiately rang out, and Pei Man's dress was torn from the bottom, all the way up above her knee.
Pei Man was also startled by Su Chen's sudden action and let out a cry of shock!
"Now, that looks about right!"
Su Chen laughed and then slightly adjusted the torn area, re-covering Pei Man's legs.
"Oh, almost forgot sothing."
Suddenly, a flash crossed Su Chen's eyes. He took off his jacket and then unfastened all the buttons of his shirt, refastened them, making sure to button one wrong on purpose.
At this mont, Pei Man instantly understood why Su Chen did this. Her face couldn't help but show a faint blush. As she spent more ti with Su Chen, she found herself blushing more often.
"Alright, we can go now."
Su Chen said, smiling.
"You're so naughty!"
Pei Man said sowhat shyly yet amusedly, impressed by his cunning.
"Acting, right? Of course, it has to look real!"
Su Chen didn't care and curled his lips as he spoke.
While speaking, Su Chen began pushing Pei Man out, believing that the man in the duckbill cap must still be waiting sowhere in the hotel.
At the mont, Pei Man wasn't thinking about this; her mind was occupied by what she had caught a glimpse of when Su Chen unbuttoned his shirt! Even though Su Chen quickly buttoned up again, she had still seen the crisscrossed scars covering his body!
She was profoundly shocked at that mont, not expecting to see so many scars on this man!
How did he get all these scars?
How on earth did soone survive after sustaining so many injuries?
What exactly had he been through?
Despite the intense shock and the multitude of questions, Pei Man didn't show it, and she managed to regain her composure as Su Chen got dressed.
However, these feelings of shock and questions didn't vanish; instead, she buried them deep in her heart.
She found that the more she interacted with this man, the more she wanted to understand him!
He was like a mystery that she could never unravel, drawing her in more and more!
Su Chen hadn't expected Pei Man to harbor so many thoughts. He had started to see Pei Man as a good friend, so he didn't avoid her much just now.
In Su Chen's opinion, even if she saw the scars, it didn't matter; it wasn't a big deal...
When Su Chen pushed Pei Man back into the hotel lobby, a casual glance revealed the man in the duckbill cap sitting on a lobby sofa, pretending to read a newspaper.
But his gaze swept over Su Chen and Pei Man in the corner of his eye...
Su Chen treated him as if he was air, took care of the check at the front desk, and then left with Pei Man.
Since the car was parked downstairs at the movie theater, Su Chen went to retrieve it first, and then drove Pei Man back ho.
The man in the duckbill cap naturally followed them, maintaining a distance of several hundred ters.
In the car, he imdiately reported to Shen Shao the information about the two leaving the hotel, including details like Pei Man's skirt being torn and Su Chen buttoning his shirt wrong.
After hearing the report, Shen Shao beca even more convinced of his suspicions. Besides going to do "that kind of thing," what else could they have done?
It must be said, details like these could indeed inspire even wilder speculations.
At this mont, Shen Shao was so angry he had only one thought: he wanted to kill soone!
Su Chen's Buick was driving through the streets of Yandu, a satisfied smile on his face.
He believed that after today's events, Shen Shao would definitely take action.
Even if he was capable of enduring, this sort of thing was likely too much to bear!
He was pleased, but Pei Man sitting next to him was having trouble looking at her torn skirt.
If she went back like this and was seen, what would she say?
