Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 495 : The Little Boy Back Then
Su Chen couldn't help but glance at Pei Man beside him when he heard this. He hadn't expected that there was this connection between them.
"You look at me like that, it's hard not to overthink,"
Pei Man said teasingly, noticing the odd look in his eyes.
"You say that, it's really hard not to overthink,"
laughed Su Chen softly.
"Alright, let's chat after eating; if we don't start now, it will all get cold."
The old master of the Pei family called everyone to begin the meal.
About an hour or so after dinner had finally come to an end, Su Chen didn't make any particular moves.
"Do the two of you have any plans for this evening?"
After dinner, the old master of the Pei family said:
"If you don't mind, I can have Pei Song take you out for some fun. He's quite familiar with Yandu."
"I've heard there's an underground boxing ring in City South that's quite thrilling. I would like to see it for myself,"
nervously said Yunlong, who had heard about it back in Jiangnan and had long wanted to see it for himself.
Since Su Chen had nothing else planned for the evening, and he didn't mind where they went, he said:
"Since you want to go, let's check it out. But we won't need to trouble Young Master Pei."
"It's no trouble. Pei Song, please accompany Mr. Su and Mr. Yun for some fun,"
the old master of the Pei family ordered Pei Song.
"Yes, Grandfather."
Pei Song was actually reluctant inside. He truly didn't see what was so special about this Mr. Su that his grandfather valued him so much.
Now he had to, Pei family's second young master, accompany him for fun. He's just a bit skilled in medicine, right? What else is there?
As for the other one, being a young master from the Yun family of Jiangnan, he had indeed heard of them, but they were of no interest to him.
However, since his grandfather had given the order, he didn't dare refuse.
"Alright, you all go then. Pei Song, make sure to take good care of our two honored guests."
"Yes, Grandfather."
After Pei Song agreed, he took Su Chen and Yunlong and left.
Thereafter, the group drove in two cars towards City South, with Pei Song leading the way in a Maserati, and Yunlong driving Su Chen's Buick, following behind...
After everyone had left, the old master of the Pei family called Pei Man into his study.
"Mannie, why do I always feel that something is a bit off?"
The old master of the Pei family sat down on a chair and asked softly.
"Actually, Grandfather, I have the same feeling,"
Pei Man said, slightly frowning:
"I've thought about it carefully just now, and there could be several reasons."
"Let's hear it."
Nowadays, the old master of the Pei family valued the opinions of this granddaughter the most.
"First is his attitude towards our Pei family, especially the question he started with. To put it bluntly, it was quite disrespectful, something others wouldn't dare to ask."
"Second, he always seems indifferent to everything, but he showed a lot of interest in the 'Su family' person you mentioned, asking several questions about him, even though he appeared casual."
Pei Man continued after a moment's thought.
"But that was something I brought up myself, and he was just going along with what I asked,"
the old master of the Pei family observed, looking at Pei Man.
"But Grandfather, haven't you noticed? He was the one who led us to that topic. He began by asking about the renowned figures among Yandu's large families, then proceeded to inquire about the notable figures in recent decades, prompting you to bring up that person."
Pei Man likewise looked at the old master of the Pei family:
"You could say that the conversation about that person was entirely driven by him."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem that way,"
the old master of the Pei family nodded slowly, recalling the scene at the dinner table.
"Moreover, Grandfather, there was something else you might not have noticed—when you revealed that person's identity, his expression completely changed. Even though he tried hard to hide it, I saw his hand shaking, spilling his drink. That's totally unlike his usually composed demeanor."
"He said it himself, didn't he? He was dazzled by that person and got lost in thought for a moment,"
"No, I have an intuition that his purpose for coming today was very likely to inquire about that person,"
Pei Man said seriously.
"Why?"
Hearing Pei Man's words, Old Master Pei's body shook violently, his complexion changed, and he blurted out a question.
It's no wonder Old Master Pei reacted this way, because if his purpose for coming was indeed related to that man, then the matter was definitely not simple.
"Grandfather, I have a speculation, I'm not sure if it's correct, help me judge it."
Pei Man spoke with some hesitation.
"Okay,"
Old Master Pei nodded deeply.
"Grandfather, do you think he could be the little boy who disappeared, the one you talked about?"
Pei Man ventured cautiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Master Pei sprang to his feet, trembling all over.
"He, he, how could he possibly?"
Old Master Pei's voice was filled with shock, his facial muscles twitching incessantly.
"Grandfather, don't forget, he also has the surname Su, and he seems to be about the age you mentioned."
Pei Man continued to gaze intently at Old Master Pei:
"Plus, his unusual interest in that person, the way he lost his composure upon hearing about his identity, and even including his attitude towards our Pei Family, all give me a strong feeling that he is that boy from back then."
The more Old Master Pei listened to Pei Man, the more he felt she was onto something, and the tumult in his heart grew even more tumultuous!
"Then you tell me, why would his attitude towards our Pei Family be like that?"
Old Master Pei asked in a faltering voice; he felt his brain turning fuzzy and was completely unable to think.
"Is that even a question? What do you think he came to Yandu for if he really is that boy?"
Pei Man asked, not waiting for Old Master Pei to respond, she continued:
"Without a doubt, his visit to Yandu this time is to investigate the truth about the death of his relatives, even to seek revenge!"
"Revenge?!"
Old Master Pei murmured, sinking back into his chair, listless and dazed.
"He doesn't think our Pei Family was responsible for the death of his grandfather and parents, does he?"
Old Master Pei asked Pei Man in a wavering voice.
"It's not that serious; I think if he really is that boy, at most he's just suspicious. He probably has doubts about all five major families, which could explain his consistent attitude towards our Pei Family."
Pei Man pondered and then spoke:
"Didn't he ask you before dinner if you had ever done evil deeds? He must have been referring to that incident."
"Mm-hmm, you make sense,"
Old Master Pei agreed and nodded:
"But what makes him think he can? Just on account of his former status as Chief Instructor?"
"Grandfather, although I've only interacted with him a few times, he gives me the impression of being unfathomable. He's the first person I've been unable to read!"
Pei Man stated earnestly:
"If our speculation is right, I believe he definitely has the capability and the cards to unveil the truth of what happened that year."
"If that's the case, then Yandu is going to see some big changes!"
Old Master Pei said in a low voice. Although he did not know the exact truth of the matter, he was not without his own conjectures.
"Grandfather, you needn't worry too much; after all, this is still just our speculation, not yet confirmed,"
Pei Man said with a light smile.
"How can this be confirmed? He will surely not admit it."
"No, it can be confirmed tonight,"
Pei Man said with a mysteriously confident smile:
"The underground fight club they're going to tonight is run by the second Young Master of the Su Family, right? If he really is that person, something big will definitely happen there tonight!"
