Pei Yansi was weak, so Shen Heyu didn’t want to make him worry, she shook her head.
But Pei Yansi knew Shen Heyu was lying. When he had burst in earlier, the Chen family had been putting Shen Heyu in a desperate situation.
"Brother Yan Si, do you even take me into consideration at all? I am your official fiancée, yet you show concern for your ex-wife right in front of me!"
Chen Lingmeng was nearly driven mad, she had schemed to marry Pei Yansi, but what use was it, for Pei Yansi’s heart never had a place for her.
"Pei Yansi, I’m warning you not to go too far!" Grandpa Chen could not stand it any longer and threatened Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi scoffed, tugging at his pale, bloodless lips, "Who exactly is going too far, me or you? At a time , you still want to pressure Shen Heyu."
"Pei Yansi, have you really thought about why we’ve been continually pressuring Shen Heyu, putting pressure on her? All this is because of you!" Chen Wenzhou came out from behind his wheelchair, one step at a time, moving up to Pei Yansi.
Now, Pei Yansi was completely not a match for him; if Chen Wenzhou were to lay a hand on him, he would have no strength to resist.
"You have already separated from Shen Heyu, and you had agreed to follow our arrangements, but at such a time, you still keep entangled with this woman, even causing a scene in front of Mengmeng, is this not driving her to madness?"
"If you had cleanly and honestly cut ties with Shen Heyu, having a proper life with Mengmeng, how could there be such disputes?"
Chen Wenzhou pushed all the blame onto Pei Yansi.
"You’re talking nonsense!" Shen Heyu stood by Pei Yansi’s side, clearly feeling his body tense up. Simply standing there seemed to be an effort for him.
Pei Yansi was too weak and couldn’t bear further blows, so Shen Heyu bravely stepped out in front of Pei Yansi.
Chen Wenzhou looked down, his gaze falling on Shen Heyu, and seeing her defending Pei Yansi, he sneered mockingly.
"What now? Even after you two ended things so long ago, you still want to make a show of undying love in front of us?" Chen Wenzhou’s lips curled mockingly.
"I’m just stepping out to speak a word of fairness. Don’t think you can dump everything on Pei Yansi; he won’t carry this pot."
"Your relationship really is touching." Chen Wenzhou mocked them, clapping his hands.
"Shen Heyu, if I recall correctly, even before we applied any pressure on you, the moment we proposed you leave Pei Yansi, you agreed without hesitation."
"Now that you’ve separated, Pei Yansi is about to marry my sister, and at this moment, you come out and find it hard to part with him, no wonder my sister gets angry."
"You shut your mouth! You know very well the reason I agreed to marry Chen Lingmeng back then."
"You pinned Chen Lingmeng’s car accident on me, trying to make me feel guilty, persuading me to marry her according to your wishes."
"In truth, I never genuinely considered marrying her. I have been investigating the real truth behind the previous car accident all along." Pei Yansi looked straight into Chen Wenzhou’s eyes and saw a fleeting flicker of guilt.
Chen Wenzhou and Chen Lingmeng knew that Pei Yansi was looking into the car accident, but Grandpa Chen did not, and his heart sank.
He immediately realized that he was the only one kept in the dark about this matter. Seeing Chen Wenzhou and Chen Lingmeng’s reactions, it seemed they had known for quite some time that Pei Yansi was investigating the car accident.
Yet, not a single person had mentioned this to him. Grandpa Chen clenched his cane so tightly in anger that it almost seemed he would crush it.
"No matter how much more you investigate, that car crash was caused by you, and Mengmeng’s legs were harmed by you to the point where she can no longer stand. You must take responsibility for this," Grandpa Chen insisted.
"Now that things have developed to this point, you still want to pin all the blame on me. It’s a pity that I have already cleared up this investigation," Pei Yansi said, his gaze sharp as he looked toward the Chen family.
After he spoke with such conviction, the three members of the Chen family each displayed a different complexion.
Grandpa Chen was truly an old fox in the business world. Despite Pei Yansi revealing the truth, he still maintained a stern face, unmoved as if Mount Tai were collapsing before his eyes.
Chen Wenzhou, being younger, nervously clenched his hands after Pei Yansi’s words, but his facial expression barely changed.
The most noticeable reaction was from Chen Lingmeng. Upon hearing Pei Yansi’s words, her pupils dilated with a face full of shock and panic, blatantly revealing all her weaknesses.
Pei Yansi’s piercing eyes turned toward Chen Lingmeng, who was the best point of leverage.
Sensing this, Chen Wenzhou immediately moved a step to the side to block Pei Yansi’s line of sight toward Chen Lingmeng.
Chen Wenzhou was also unsure of what Pei Yansi had uncovered and what evidence he held, so in this situation, he had no choice but to blindly probe the extent of Pei Yansi’s cards.
"Pei Yansi, you know that talk requires evidence. Do you have any evidence for your claims? Without proof, that would be slander, and we have the right to take you to court," Chen Wenzhou said sternly as he looked at Pei Yansi.
In fact, if it wasn’t for today’s threat to Shen Heyu’s safety, Pei Yansi was not planning to lay his cards out so soon.
"You’re probably also investigating that security guard who was with me last time. Now I’ll tell you his identity: his name is Wang Zhiqiang. You should know him well since it was you who made a deal with him and planned that car crash with your own hands."
Hearing the name Wang Zhiqiang, Chen Wenzhou involuntarily pursed his lips so tightly that they formed a thin line.
No wonder he felt that man looked familiar when he first laid eyes on him.
It turned out he had indeed seen that person before, but what a pity he only realized it now. Otherwise, the last time that man ended up in his hands, he should have made him disappear from this world.
Chen Wenzhou’s threatened demeanor was telling; the card that Pei Yansi had laid out was indeed both advantageous and effective for him.
Grandpa Chen, realizing that the way things were developing was not in their favor, stepped forward with a composed face.
In such a situation, Grandpa Chen’s demeanor was as stable as Mount Tai, and he chuckled.
"President Pei said that our family’s Chen Wenzhou made a deal with that man named Wang Zhiqiang. Then, can you present concrete evidence to prove that their transaction actually took place?"
Pei Yansi’s gaze turned menacingly toward Grandpa Chen, who clearly was not easy to deal with.
"If I dare to be certain of this matter, it means I have evidence in hand. You want evidence? I will organize the evidence and lay it before you, leaving you speechless."
