Chapter 429: [346] The Wu Family Seeks PeacePei Jinye stood still, waiting for a moment, and when the other party continued not to come out, a hint of disappointment showed on his face.
He had planned to apprehend the person if they dared to show up again and directly raid their home.
Unfortunately, the other party no longer dared to come.
“I was perhaps too harsh… I will be more careful next time,” he muttered to himself.
He gestured with his hand.
The Bluebird flapped its wings and rapidly approached Pei Jinye, chirping noisily as it started to report.
Pei Jinye spoke a few quiet words, then the Bluebird soared away.
Just then, Butler Zhong Xuan requested an audience.
Pei Jinye glanced at the time; it was getting late, and at this hour, the butler would not usually show up to disturb him without good reason.
…“What’s the matter?”
Pei Jinye asked casually as he sat at the dining table.
The young butler, Zhong Xuan, hurriedly said, “The Wu Family has called.”
Pei Jinye looked up.
Zhong Xuan had already handed him the voice recorder, respectfully saying, “I’ve recorded the conversation, please review it and then I will delete it.”
He pressed the play button.
A voice came through.
“…Elder Jiang, my apologies for the rash actions of the Wu Family earlier. Hailang meant no harm, and I hope you won’t take it to heart. Regarding our business in Da Peng City, we are willing to pull out, and if the Jiang Family wishes to extend beyond Da Peng City, our Wu Family is also willing to assist. But there is one condition, we hope that your Jiang Family can find the murderer of Wu Zhuofei in Da Peng City… The Wu Family will present a generous token of gratitude in return.”
On hearing this, Pei Jinye looked up.
“He said these words to you?”
“This was his tenth call tonight; the previous nine calls didn’t reveal his intentions, only that he wanted to meet you,” Zhong Xuan reported respectfully.
Pei Jinye simply uttered “Hmm,” then instructed, “Tell them to first hand over the shares of the trading company, to show their sincerity.”
“Yes, Family Head,” Zhong Xuan immediately agreed and made the call in front of Pei Jinye.
Suddenly, Zhong Xuan stiffened and looked up at Pei Jinye.
Covering the mouthpiece, he indicated that it was the Wu Family’s Old Lady on the line, wishing to speak personally with the elder.
Pei Jinye stretched out his hand, and Zhong Xuan immediately passed the satellite phone to him.
“It’s me.”
The voice of the Wu Family’s Old Lady came through the phone.
“We haven’t seen each other in years, and it seems you’ve broken through your own limits.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow slightly.
The Wu Family’s Old Lady had a tone of resentment as if he were some unfaithful lover.
Pei Jinye pondered thoughtfully.
In his memory, Jiang Qingcang seemed to have had some connections with the Wu Family, but it wasn’t a prominent recollection, more like an acquaintance from his school days, a senior student two years ahead of him.
Without Pei Jinye noticing, Zhong Xuan had already tactfully left the room.
Pei Jinye listened quietly to the Old Lady’s story filled with lamenting nonsense, which he had no patience for, and interjected, “Does your family agree to the Jiang Family’s terms?”
“Qingcang, I’m sorry about the grievances between the Wu Family and the Jiang Family… I’m powerless over the struggles between you men… But Zhuofei was my personally-raised grandson, and he cannot die in vain. As long as you help the Wu Family catch the murderer, I can make the decision to aid the Jiang Family in opening the China market.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze remained calm.
As if the man really wasn’t killed by him.
And he scoffed at the words of the Wu Family’s Old Lady.
Previously, the Wu Family and the Jiang Family had been at the brink of a major conflict, yet she did not mediate then. Now, due to Zhuofei’s death, she changed her tone so quickly.
He would not waste an opportunity that came knocking.
“Transfer the shares of the trading company to me, and then I will help you investigate, but only within Da Peng City,” he stipulated.
“That is acceptable,” the Wu Family’s Old Lady answered briskly, “any shred of a clue will do.”
“We’ll sign the agreement first thing in the morning,” Pei Jinye stated succinctly.
The Wu Family’s Old Lady hesitated, seemingly resentful that Jiang Qingcang wouldn’t even show that much trust.
“`
“Good.”
…
The call ended.
Pei Jinye’s face was full of amusement.
Investigate what?
Investigate myself?
…
Meanwhile.
In Nan Du City.
At the Martial Family of Nandu.
After the Wu Family’s Old Lady hung up the phone, someone entered quickly at her beckon.
A middle-aged man, who bore a resemblance to Wu Hailang, asked anxiously, “Mother, are you really going to ask the Jiang family for help?”
The Wu Family’s Old Lady no longer had the amiable expression she held for Pei Jinye, and her face beamed with the authority of someone long accustomed to power, “As the local snakes of Da Peng City, going to them is more effective than going to the officials.”
“But even the Judgement Place has been there without any findings. Can the Jiang family… Even if they are local snakes, do they have better means than the Judgement Place?” the middle-aged man asked with a frown. “Shouldn’t we contact the second brother since he is, after all, in Central State?”
The Wu Family’s Old Lady looked at him silently.
The middle-aged man swallowed his other words.
The Wu Family’s Old Lady said sternly, “Is Da Peng City a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den then? My third son’s son has already fallen there, and now my grandson too. Go to the Judgement Place? Don’t you know how many have already died there?”
The middle-aged man lowered his head, “I’m sorry, mother…”
The Wu Family’s Old Lady was still recalling her call with Jiang Qingcang.
Just as she was lost in thought.
The middle-aged man said softly, “Mother, has that person from the Jiang family really become that powerful? I saw the severity of the injuries Hailang sustained; did they fight each other?”
“They probably didn’t even come to blows,” recalled the Wu Family’s Old Lady. Jiang Qingcang had spoken with such confidence that she felt surprised.
She had heard in the past that the true master of the Jiang family was on the decline.
But now, it seemed that the rumors in the martial world were not at all reliable.
“That person from the Jiang family is an old fox. He tries to hide it, but he probably has indeed broken through his limits.”
The middle-aged man was surprised, “Mother, do you mean to say that Jiang Qingcang has possibly broken through to the Extraordinary Fourth Rank?”
“That seems to be the case,” the Wu Family’s Old Lady nodded, looking at her offspring in front of her, she sighed inwardly.
If it hadn’t been for that woman’s son entering the Central Continent Headquarters, the Martial Family of Nandu as a mere Third Rank Extraordinary backing would not have been enough in Central State.
In earlier years, the Wu Family had seized plenty of commercial territory under her command, laying a solid foundation for the family’s enterprise.
But now, with the rise in power of the Jiang family head, she felt a sense of crisis.
“When can my Wu family truly become a grand household!”
…
…
Early morning.
In Da Peng City.
Pei Jinye was dining at the Jiang family residence. After the meal, he turned to Butler Zhong Xuan, who had come forward to greet him, “The matter with the Wu family, have the President handle it.”
“Yes… Family Head.”
Zhong Xuan paused for a moment.
He hadn’t even processed it yet.
His thoughts about the president of the Jiang family were still fixated on Jiang Qingcang.
Not long after.
As Zhong Xuan stepped out of the back mountain, his heart was still turbulent.
He had never imagined that the Wu family, which a month ago had refused to deal with the Jiang family, was now actively seeking peace.
“With the old Family Head there, what worries could the Jiang family have about thriving?”
