Chapter Seven Leading the Snake out of its Hole
East Street.
Silver Bird Restaurant.
The entire hall on the first floor was noisy. A group of people gathered around a fat middle-aged man with a blushing face and a smell of alcohol.
"Don't leave in a hurry. Tell everyone, who is that friend of yours?"
"Yes, you said yesterday that the passerby who was hit was your friend, so why didn't you take him to the Hu Mansion to collect compensation?"
"I think you're bragging, right?"
Everyone was talking to each other, talking around the middle-aged man.
"You're just bragging! Does it have anything to do with you whether I know him or not? Humph, I've already told him the news. As for when he will go to Hu Mansion, how do I know?"
"I won't bother you anymore. I'm not giving you any money. Why are you making fun of me?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, muttered dissatisfiedly, pushed away the people surrounding him, and staggered out of the restaurant.
"Just brag, you won't know your last name after drinking two ounces of wine!"
"Even if you know each other, the money won't be in your hands. Why are you so proud?!"
Seeing the middle-aged man about to leave, someone in the crowd shouted disdainfully.
"Hmph, I will go to the Hu Mansion in person tomorrow to collect compensation on behalf of my friend!"
The middle-aged man dropped a word angrily and left.
People in the restaurant waved their hands, ignored the middle-aged man, and started talking again.
Just as the middle-aged man left, a figure dressed in black appeared from the darkness and followed the middle-aged man.
At the entrance of an alley opposite the restaurant, there was also a figure hiding himself in the dark. Looking at the leaving middle-aged man and the man in black, a trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows, and he slowly followed.
.
It's Pei Jie!
...
As the night gets darker, there are no more pedestrians on the streets.
The staggering middle-aged man staggered all the way, muttering something in his mouth, dancing, and occasionally sneering.
After a long time, the middle-aged man stumbled into a remote alley, moving slowly while holding on to the wall.
It seemed that he drank a lot tonight and was lucky to be able to find his way home.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man dressed in black appeared behind the middle-aged man and walked straight towards the middle-aged man, his steps getting faster and faster.
The middle-aged man also heard the footsteps, staggered and turned his head to look behind him, and then saw the man in black suddenly appearing behind him.
The man in black stopped and pulled out the short knife in his hand.
"What are you doing?! You don't believe me? You think I'm bragging?!"
The middle-aged man looked at the man in black with slightly blurred eyes, swallowing his saliva and asked.
"Do you really know the passerby who was hit?"
The man in black stared at the middle-aged man and asked in a lowered voice.
"Of course, he is my friend!"
The middle-aged man nodded and patted his chest.
"Have you met him?"
The man in black continued to ask, and the short knife in his hand was slowly raised.
"Hey? What are you doing? What are you doing with the knife?"
"Who are you? What do you want to do?!"
When the middle-aged man saw the dagger, he trembled with fright. He pointed at the man in black and asked loudly. Then he turned around and held on to the wall and started to escape towards home. However, his legs had long been out of control and he could not escape faster than he could.
Turtles are slow.
However, at this moment, the man in black had already raised the short knife in his hand and stabbed the middle-aged man in the back of the heart!
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed over, and in the light of the sword, he stopped the man in black from stabbing the middle-aged man in the back of the heart!
Pei Jie!
It's also a knife, but his knife is faster and more powerful than the dagger in the hand of the man in black!
"who are you?!"
Seeing Pei Jie suddenly appearing, the man in black was stunned for a moment and exclaimed.
"Who are you?!"
Pei Jie stared at the man in black and asked coldly.
But the man in black covered his face with a black cloth, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The man in black glanced at the middle-aged man who had already staggered away for some distance, grasped the short knife in his hand, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, turned around and ran quickly towards the other end of the alley.
But Pei Jie obviously didn't want to let him go just like that. He snorted coldly and chased after him. He rushed to the man in black in an instant, and then swung out another knife and struck the man in black directly in the back!
As if he felt the whistling wind coming from behind, the man in black could only stop and waved the short knife in his hand out of desperation!
A crisp sound of gold and iron was heard, and then the man in black screamed, the short knife flew away from his hand, and the man couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Pei Jie couldn't help but frown and looked at the man in black again.
"who are you?!"
The man in black stared at Pei Jie and asked loudly. The right hand holding the knife just now was already full of blood, and a deep wound with bone visible appeared on his wrist.
"You don't know him."
"But maybe you'll recognize me."
At this moment, a voice sounded, and a figure appeared from the entrance of the alley, coming slowly.
It's Hu Fei!
Hearing the sound, the man in black turned his head and looked behind him. As Hu Fei approached, the man in black saw Hu Fei's face clearly through the moonlight, and then a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
"It seems you do know me."
Hu Fei walked closer, looked at the speechless man in black, and said with a smile.
The man in black nodded, but then shook his head.
"Since you don't admit it, let me see who you really are."
Hu Fei said, took two steps forward, squatted down, and stretched out his hand towards the black cloth covering the face of the man in black.
The man in black trembled all over and was about to make a move, but then he felt a cold feeling on his neck. Pei Jie's knife was already on his neck, and he was too frightened to move any further.
The moment the black cloth was torn off, an unfamiliar face appeared in front of Hu Fei's eyes.
He did not know this person. To be precise, Hu Weiyong's son did not know this person and had no impression of him in his memory.
"You are not the mastermind, who sent you here?"
Hu Fei was still squatting on the ground, staring into the eyes of the man in black, and asked word by word.
After listening to Hu Fei's question, the man in black swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, bit his lips and said nothing.
"Your plan is not bad. First, you sent someone to bribe the coachman of the Hu family, and then on a good day, you sent someone to collide with the carriage I was riding in, causing it to roll over and kill me without anyone noticing.
"
"Once I die, Hu Weiyong will definitely not let it go. Then you make this matter bigger, which will naturally draw the fire to Hu Weiyong. Your target is not me, but Hu Weiyong. Am I right?"
Hu Fei stared into the eyes of the man in black and spoke word by word.
After hearing Hu Fei's words, the man in black froze on the ground, looking at the harmless smile on Hu Fei's face in horror, unable to say a word.
I didn't want to say it just now, I couldn't say it, but now I really can't say it.
Pei Jie, who was standing aside, was also stunned. He was no less surprised than the man in black. He didn't expect that behind this incident, someone actually wanted to deal with the Prime Minister!
"It seems that you don't want to betray your master. That's good. I like loyal people, but I hate being used as a pawn! And it's a dead move without any explanation!"
"Don't worry, since you want to play, then I will play with you slowly."
Hu Fei sneered and stood up slowly.
"Take him back and see if his master will come to save him. I, a playboy, have nothing else but plenty of time."
Hu Fei looked up at Pei Jie and said coldly.
After the words fell, Hu Fei had already turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley, one hand behind his back and the other hand shaking the folding fan, which was unusually comfortable.
Pei Jie was stunned, knocked the man in black unconscious with one palm, carried the man in black on his back, and followed Hu Fei.
Until this moment, Pei Jie understood in his heart that the young master released Ah Shui and hosted a banquet, then claimed that he drank it and went to Yinque Restaurant, and then exposed Ah Shui and let Qian Ju of Yinque Restaurant deliberately let the news out to speak against Hu Mansion.
I have to compensate the person who was hit by the passerby, and then tonight's scene.
All of this, seemingly unrelated and even inexplicable, turned out to be a trick planned by the young master to lure the snake out of its hole.
But he couldn't understand how the dandy young master who used to live happily and cause trouble could suddenly become so smart and even scheming.
After thinking about all this, Pei Jie felt not only shocked, but also deep awe, an awe that sent shivers down his spine...
