Every World Seems Not Quite Right [Quick Wear]

8.3 - A fleeting shadow

"Oh, Young Master Peng, you're back so soon." Mrs. Peng knew that her eldest son couldn't sit still and wanted to come back. She didn't rest at night, just waiting for her eldest son to come back to find her.

There was a middle-aged man sitting next to her. He looked good, like a scholar, but if you looked down on him just because of his appearance, you are really blind.

Don't be fooled by his gentle and refined appearance. He is well-known for his iron tongue and hard hands in the business world. It is extremely difficult to get some profit from him.

Just today he had an appointment to discuss business, and when he came back he heard that his second son had been beaten. At that time Mr. Peng had a very bright smile on his face, and if you hadn't seen his fists throbbing with veins, you would have thought he was very happy.

"Father and mother." Young Master Peng nodded to the two of them and said, "Mother's letter was not very clear. Please tell me what happened."

"It's nothing more than your brother trying to stop a beast from teasing a singing girl, but he got beaten by the beast instead." Master Peng said coldly, "I usually give him some warning, but he really thinks that my Peng family is afraid of him? He even dared to hit my second son. Who gave him the face?"

"Who else could it be?" Young Master Peng said coldly, "Knowing that Yuyu is the treasure of both the Peng and Shen families, he still dared to do it. If you say that he has no one to back him up, I absolutely don't believe it."

"Is Marshal Leng planning to fall out with our two families?" Although the Peng and Shen families are somewhat inferior to Marshal Leng, if he really wants to move against the two families, he will bring Marshal Leng down even at the risk of his death.

"I'm afraid he is waiting for us to get angry and take action, so that Marshal Leng will have a legitimate reason." Young Master Peng sneered, "By then, he can unite with others to take over our Peng family, and at the same time accuse the Shen family of murdering the Marshal. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."

Mrs. Peng and Mr. Peng were both very smart, and they could guess some things. However, guessing was one thing, and speaking it out was another. When Mr. Peng heard his eldest son say this, his face turned really ugly: "He wants to swallow up the Peng and Shen families in one gulp, but he has to see if he has the appetite for it."

Mrs. Peng's expression was not very good either, but she thought more: "What did your uncle say?"

Since the second brother asked the eldest son to come back, he must have thought of a way to deal with it.

"My uncle said that no matter how good the wood is, it can't hold a sharp blade." Young Master Peng laughed viciously, "Since Marshal Leng dares to target the Peng and Shen families, how can we just sit there and let him do it?"

"Marshal Leng is no wooden man. My Peng and Shen families are not sharp blades now." Mrs. Peng took a sip of tea and put it down: "Go back and tell your uncle not to underestimate this man. He is not an easy person to deal with."

"Of course." The world is in chaos now, so Marshal Leng must have some good methods to suppress his subordinates. Therefore, if they want to deal with Marshal Leng, they must be very cautious.

"Since there's nothing else to do, you can go back first." After everything was explained, Mrs. Peng started to drive people away: "Bring some midnight snacks for the journey."

"Mom, there's a question I've always wanted to ask." Young Master Peng rushed back just to see his younger brother, but before he even saw him, his mother told him to leave.
