Pei Xu was both stifled and furious.

He had been toiling in the business world for thirty years—a veteran

Who could have thought he’d stumble at the hands of a girl not even twenty?

Even if the Yu family were told, they’d never believe that Si Fuqing, so young, could have secured investment from RS Group. There had to be someone influential supporting her.

Pei Xu could only conclude that Zuo Tianfeng had joined forces with Si Fuqing to swindle his shares away!

But once the agreement was signed, it held legal weight. Who would spit out money they had already pocketed?

Pei Xu and Elder Qi had no choice but to leave Pei Group.

Though they still had savings, how could that compare to the annual dividends from their shares?

And now, with RS Group’s capital injection, Pei Group was about to break into the elite circles of the Sijiucheng and would inevitably step onto the international stage.

But he could only watch, with nothing to gain.

How could Pei Xu not hate them?

“Zuo Tianfeng, just you wait!” Pei Xu sneered coldly. “I’ve been kicked out of the Pei family, but your Zuo family won’t have it easy either! I’ll see to it your house collapses!”

Hearing this, Zuo Tianfeng’s anger flared as well. “Pei Xu, you—”

“Beep, beep, beep.”

The call was cut off.

When he tried to dial again, the line was disconnected.

Zuo Tianfeng’s face went dark.

He’d been blocked.

Zuo Xianyu furrowed her brows, trying to steady her racing heart. “Dad, I think I just heard him mention RS Group?”

“This Pei Xu, is he out of his mind?” Zuo Tianfeng, baffled and still smarting from being yelled at, let out a bitter laugh. “What does he take RS Group for? Cabbage on the roadside*? He even claimed that Si Fuqing knows the Duke of Mouston?”

*Something (or someone) that is ordinary, common, or easy to get, like cabbages growing by the roadside.

But Zuo Xianyu’s expression shifted—she lost composure for the first time and blurted out, “Duke of Mouston?!”

Suddenly, she remembered the string of numbers Si Fuqing had written for her back at the police station during their negotiation.

She hadn’t believed a word of it, never even brought it back, just left it behind at the station.

It had already been a week—it must have long been tossed out as scrap paper.

Zuo Xianyu unconsciously clenched her clothes tighter.

Zuo Tianfeng noticed her lapse and looked at her strangely. “Xianyu, don’t tell me you actually think Si Fuqing knows the Duke of Mouston? You’re a science prodigy. Think logically—it’s absolutely impossible.”

If Si Fuqing truly knew Duke of Mouston, she’d have been living it up on the West Continent long ago. Why would she still be stuck in some godforsaken corner of the entertainment industry?

Moreover, with the Duke of Muston’s connections and far-reaching means, wouldn’t he have already taken Si Fuqing away from the Zuo family long ago? In the past, Zuo Tianfeng had treated Si Fuqing tolerably well on the surface—not only because of Elder Zuo, but also because he was waiting for Si Fuqing’s biological parents to appear.

If she turned out to belong to some powerful family, then wouldn’t the Zuo family hit the jackpot?

But unfortunately, after waiting so long, nothing ever came of it.

Zuo Xianyu slowly let out a breath.

Right.

“Dad, I’d like to take a few days off and rest.” Zuo Xianyu rubbed her temples. “I’ve been too tired these past few days—I actually misread the treaty.”

“No problem.” Zuo Tianfeng agreed immediately. “You do need to rest.”

Zuo Xianyu ate only a little at dinner before going upstairs to rest.

Meanwhile, at the villa courtyard—

“Brother Jiu, Zero has passed along intelligence: the Pei family has secured investment from RS Group.” Feng San came over quietly. “The start-up capital is ten billion. Though that amount isn’t much for RS Group, to be able to obtain it is already quite a feat.”

They had been watching RS Group, but who would have thought the matter would involve the Pei family of Lincheng?

Yu Xiheng pondered briefly, and a faint smile spread in his light amber eyes. “It was her doing.”

“Her?” Feng San couldn’t react for a moment. After a long pause, he finally blurted out in shock, “Miss Si?!”

He knew Miss Si had been helping the Pei family recently, but RS Group’s investment? That would require a top-tier negotiator in the business world, someone of the highest level, to persuade the Duke of Mouston to choose the Pei family.
