Grandma Xia was in a good mood after learning that Xia Zhiqian was alright, and she also seemed to be feeling better. Xia Yichu went home with Pei Shizhou. After arriving home, Pei Shizhou said he would buy her something to eat, and Xia Yichu agreed.

He was eating shrimp dumplings and talking to Pei Shizhou. After a while, Pei Shizhou didn't say anything. He turned his head and saw him sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Shizhou, what's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my uncle drove the car away when I got home, and I noticed his expression was a bit off. Maybe I'm overthinking it, Xiao Chu, these two..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yichu stopped eating and hurriedly interrupted Pei Shizhou.

Did Uncle Zhou say where we're going?

Xia Yichu was very concerned about Zhou Wenbin's every move and hoped that she was overthinking it.

"No"

Xia Yichu stood up and pulled Pei Shizhou, saying, "Let's go, let's go see the Pei family."

Pei Shizhou couldn't understand why Xia Yichu would say she wanted to go to the Pei family every time his uncle was away.

"Now? My uncle didn't say he was going to the Pei family, so he might not be there right now."

It's already past nine o'clock, his uncle probably won't go to the Pei family unless something serious happens.

"right"

Xia Yichu gave a firm answer and pulled Pei Shizhou toward the door.

"Xiao Chu, you haven't slept more than a few hours these past two days. Why don't we go again tomorrow? You should get a good night's sleep tonight."

"I'm not sleepy or tired. Shizhou, let's hurry to the Pei family. If we're late, I'm afraid something terrible will happen."

As Xia Yichu locked the door, she spoke. Pei Shizhou wanted to ask more, but Xia Yichu pulled him away hastily.

Along the way, Xia Yichu was extremely anxious, and all sorts of bad thoughts kept surfacing in her mind. Although Pei Shizhou didn't understand why she was in such a hurry, seeing her like this, he didn't dare to dissuade her any further and flagged down a car on the road to head to the Pei family.

"Xiao Chu, do you think my uncle will go to the Pei family? What would he be doing there so late at night?"

What else could they do? Kill Pei Feng, of course. That's what she thought, but Xia Yichu said aloud, "I don't know. Let's go check it out, just in case Uncle Zhou and Pei Feng fight. They outnumber us, and I'm afraid Uncle Zhou will get hurt."

"Don't worry! Pei Feng wouldn't dare hit my uncle, and neither would anyone else in the Pei family. Besides, Pei Feng hasn't done anything recently. My uncle wouldn't go looking for trouble with him."

"Shizhou, regardless of whether your uncle went to see Pei Feng or not, let's go and check first."

Xia Yichu didn't know how to explain to Pei Shizhou. If she told him what Pei Feng had done to Zhou Wenhui, how would she explain how she knew about it?

"Um"

For the rest of the journey, Pei Shizhou held Xia Yichu's hand tightly, and the two did not speak again.

"Driver, please stop here."

Pei Shizhou saw his car parked on the side of the road. They were almost at the Pei family home, so he quickly told the driver to stop. After paying, the two got out of the car, and Xia Yichu also saw the car parked on the side of the road.

"Shizhou, this is your car."

She walked over to the car and said, "It's getting dark," she asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it seems my uncle really has come to the Pei family."

Upon receiving Pei Shizhou's affirmative answer, Xia Yichu knew that her trip today had not been in vain.

"Then let's hurry to the Pei family's house," Xia Yichu urged Pei Shizhou.

"it is good"

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Pei family's door. Xia Yichu looked through the window and saw that the Pei family's lights were off. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhou Wenbin had succeeded so quickly? That shouldn't be the case!

Xia Yichu stepped forward and pushed the Pei family's door, finding it unlocked; it opened easily with a gentle push. She and Pei Shizhou exchanged a glance and tiptoed inside.

The room was silent, with only faint moonlight filtering through the window and spilling onto the floor. They cautiously groped their way forward when suddenly, Xia Yichu kicked something, making a crisp sound.

The two froze instantly, not daring to breathe. Just then, a dark figure darted out from the adjacent room and pounced on them.

Pei Shizhou reacted quickly, shielding Xia Yichu behind him and wrestling with the shadowy figure. In the chaos, the lights suddenly came on; it turned out Xia Yichu had run to turn them on.

"uncle"

When Pei Shizhou was fighting with the shadowy figure, he was afraid it was his uncle, so he held back. He didn't expect it to really be his uncle.

When Zhou Wenbin saw Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu, he said, panting, "What brings you here?"

While supporting Zhou Wenbin, Pei Shizhou asked, "Uncle, where are the rest of the Pei family?"

Xia Yichu rushed into Pei Feng and Feng Yarou's room and saw Feng Yarou lying motionless on the bed. She nervously checked Feng Yarou's breathing and found that she was still breathing.

Xia Yichu breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she wasn't dead. Despite all the commotion, Feng Yarou hadn't woken up. It seemed she had been drugged by Zhou Wenbin, but Pei Feng was nowhere to be found.

At this moment, Pei Shizhou and Zhou Wenbin also walked in. Pei Shizhou asked anxiously, "Uncle, what happened? Where is Pei Feng?"

"Pei Feng isn't home. I don't know where he went."

When he arrived at the Pei family's residence, he encountered Feng Yarou, who had just returned. As she opened the door, Zhou Wenbin covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief from behind, knocking her unconscious.

He dragged her onto the bed again and looked her over from head to toe. There was no one in the Pei family except for Feng Yarou, who had just returned.

Zhou Wenbin turned off the lights in the Pei family's house and prepared to make a move on Feng Yarou inside. Hearing a noise outside, he assumed it was Pei Feng returning home.

"Uncle, what brings you to the Pei family?"

This question stumped Zhou Wenbin. His eyes darted around, avoiding Pei Shizhou's gaze, and he looked somewhat flustered.

"uncle"

"Shizhou, let's go outside first and talk about it."

Now is not the time to question Zhou Wenbin; it wouldn't look good if the rest of the Pei family came back and saw them here.

Pei Shizhou nodded, then pulled Xia Yichu away first. Zhou Wenbin tidied up the mess he had made, trying to restore it to its original state. Then he came out, and Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu had been waiting at the door for quite a while.

Seeing Zhou Wenbin come out, they walked towards the car. Pei Shizhou stopped beside the car.

"Uncle, give me the car keys."

Zhou Wenbin did not refuse and took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Pei Shizhou.

"Xiao Chu, get in the car."

Pei Shizhou opened the passenger door for Xia Yichu. Xia Yichu wanted to sit in the back, but saw that Zhou Wenbin had already gotten in.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu sat down, and Pei Shizhou closed the door for her. He got into the car himself, started the engine, and the atmosphere inside was somewhat heavy throughout the journey.

Xia Yichu secretly observed Zhou Wenbin's expression through the rearview mirror. Zhou Wenbin had his head down, and Xia Yichu couldn't see the expression on his face.

Now, not only is Zhou Wenbin afraid that Pei Shizhou will ask him about the purpose of his visit to the Pei family, but Xia Yichu also doesn't know how to explain to Pei Shizhou why she cares so much about Zhou Wenbin's visit to the Pei family.

Pei Shizhou was filled with doubt and didn't know how to ask them. Lost in thought, he realized the car had arrived at his house. Pei Shizhou parked the car, and the three of them got out.

Zhou Wenbin pretended to yawn and said, "A-Zhou, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."

After saying that, Zhou Wenbin turned and left.

"no"

"no"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu said in unison. With the matter unresolved, Xia Yichu feared that Zhou Wenbin might find another opportunity to kill Pei Feng.

"Uncle, come to my house and we can talk. Don't worry my grandparents and me, okay?"

Pei Shizhou felt that his uncle and Xia Yichu were hiding something from him, and he definitely wouldn't want them to leave until they explained it clearly.

"Shi Zhou, I was just bored tonight and thought about telling Pei Feng at noon that Pei Zongyu wasn't his biological son. I wanted to go to the Pei family to see him make a fool of himself."

Zhou Wenbin is still trying to fool people, but Pei Shizhou is not so easily fooled.

"You're lying. Would you really need to drug Feng Yarou to make fun of Pei Feng?"

As expected, Pei Shizhou didn't believe him at all.
