After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 23
“…….”
An uneasy silence spread around.
The attendant felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and even breathing became difficult under the influence of his unconscious fear. “Little Young Master Pei, I am just a mere waiter helping to run errands. This is r-really none of my business!”
“But you’ve gotten into trouble now.” Pei Yi narrowed his eyes, and said one word at a time, “Speak clearly!”
The attendant knew that he couldn’t afford to offend any wealthy guest, so after struggling with his thoughts several times, he still confessed everything. “It wasn’t the Second Young Master, but Mr. Pei who told me to bring you here.”
“He told me to watch in a corner of the banquet hall, and when you were alone, to go to you in the name of Second Young Master Bo and coax you to the guest room upstairs.
Pei Yi scoffed inaudibly.
Pei Huan?
Sure enough, he was connected to this business!
It was likely that he had discussed it with Bo Guancheng, and as for Minister Zheng who came later, he should have become a pawn who was “used” without knowing it.
Pei Yi’s grip relaxed a little, and he continued to ask, “Who is in the guest room?”
The attendant swallowed his saliva nervously and became more forthcoming, “It, it should be the chairman who was by his side.”
Half an hour ago, when he was called to the VIP lounge by Pei Huan, the chairman of the German Chamber of Commerce named Sun Yelong was sitting on the sofa. His eyes were full of malice and anticipation, and he took out a room card and tossed it to him.
Although the attendant was not very old, he was accustomed to seeing all kinds of guests in the hotel—
Have him take Pei Yi to the hotel room alone? The sinister intentions in this were self-evident!
The attendant’s first reaction was to refuse, but he was quickly intimidated by Pei Huan.
“If you don’t do this, there will be others willing to do it.”
“Either you do it obediently and receive a reward of five thousand yuan after the task is completed, or you can wait for the hotel manager to fire you personally.”
Under the double pressure of work and money, that shallow bit of conscience struggled and disappeared.
Pei Yi’s face had darkened completely.
In addition to the disgusting pimp-like activities of Pei Huan and others, he also thought of the brief description in the original text — after the original owner participated in the banquet, he became more and more withdrawn and began to hide in the room all day, unwilling to go out.
The storyline of the book was written around the protagonist, Pei Huan, but who could guarantee what happened to other people during that time period outside the text?
“…….”
The waiter felt the low air pressure coming from behind, and regretted until his intestines were green. “Little Young Master, just let me go this time! I don’t have a good education, and the salary at this hotel is the best. My dad was sick and hospitalized some time ago, and I haven’t even paid for the surgery……”
“If I didn’t agree, I would have lost my job!”
“Stop selling misery here!”
Pei Yi did not accept his rhetoric. “If I didn’t know better, I would think you were secretly happy to take the money right now! Or did you think that if something happened to me, you wouldn’t need to take legal responsibility?”
“Did it never occur to you that you are the scapegoat who will be pushed forward by them if something happens?”
“…….”
The waiter got stuck, and his cheeks changed from red to white.
After Pei Yi’s reminder, he realized that he was basically being used by Pei Huan and others!
Pei Yi couldn’t be bothered with the attendant’s feelings, and simply pushed him away after removing his name tag. The attendant’s center of gravity was unstable, and he fell on the stairs above. Before the pain could even show on his face, Pei Yi read out the name tag, “Zhao Wancheng?”
“Just as Pei Huan did, I will give you two choices now.”
“W-what?”
Zhao Wancheng turned around to meet Pei Yi’s sharp eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Option one: you can continue to choose to stand on Pei Huan’s side and wait for this matter to blow up, and they will push you out as a scapegoat.”
“Option two: you listen to me. I’m not sure if you can keep this job, but I can at least promise not to send you to the police station.”
After all, the attendant was at best an accomplice who did not complete the “work.” There was someone else who should settle accounts.
The attendant looked into Pei Yi’s eyes that were cold even as he smiled, and that expression and deep aura were completely the opposite of his “fair and soft” face.
The person instinctively succumbed to a more powerful superior and a better choice, not to mention that it was clear at a glance what was wrong and what was right.
The waiter suppressed his initial fear. “I choose option two.”
“Very good.”
Pei Yi took no notice of the attendant’s easy defection, and made arrangements, gesturing to him. “Which room is Chairman Sun staying in? Lend me your cell phone.”
At this point, the attendant didn’t dare go against Pei Yi’s arrangements.
He honestly took out his cell phone and unlocked it, and also handed over the room card in his pocket along with it. “2108.”
Pei Yi only took the cell phone and sent a “Help” text message in the tone of the attendant, “You keep the room card. The time starts from the moment I enter the room. If I don’t come out within ten minutes, you use it to open the door, and if I come out or someone else comes in, you can go.”
Pei Yi pressed the phone back into the attendant’s hand, saying lightly, “Of course, if you can’t figure it out, you can choose to escape now.”
The attendant subconsciously tightened his grip on the phone and shook his head vigorously. “I, I’ll listen to you, Little Young Master!”
Pei Yi smiled and warned, “By the way, no third person should know about this conversation between you and me. There is no surveillance here, and I’m not smart, understood?”
The last sentence was more like a kind of self-indulgence.
The waiter was stunned for several seconds, then hastily responded, “Understood.”
He didn’t dare to get involved in the grievances and resentments of these rich and powerful people anymore!
No matter why Pei Yi was pretending to be a fool, it was not his place to ask or spread it. If the other party turned his face and became hostile, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
En, sometimes it was also rather good to be transparent and mute!
. . . . . .
Inside hotel suite 2108.
After showering, Sun Yelong came out of the bathroom and immediately reached into the inner pocket of his suit. Shortly, he took out a small white box from inside and twisted the lid off, taking out three small pills.
These were his pick-me-up treasures.
Sun Yelong swallowed two pills with water first, and then tossed one into the red wine beside him. After a while, the white pill melted and disappeared into the dark red wine.
Thinking of the prey that was about to arrive, Sun Yelong rubbed his hands excitedly.
He was a person who most liked to play with tenderness, and did not shun women nor men.
And it was best for them to be the type that looked like an innocent white rabbit. Once toyed with hard, their eyes would turn red and start to cry, not to mention how exciting it was!
As soon as he entered the banquet hall today, his attention was drawn by Pei Yi.
Good-looking and clean, innocent and pure, he looked at first glance like a young fledgling who had never experienced this sort of thing, and immediately made him get bad ideas!
So what if the other party was a fool? Maybe he would be better to coax and deal with!
As for the troubles that may arise afterwards, that was for Pei Huan and Bo Guancheng to deal with. After all, there was a big contract worth 1.5 billion involved, and the important thing was to make him happy.
His chest was hot and buoyant.
Sun Yelong glanced at the time on the phone and frowned, muttering, “Why hasn’t he come? Could something have gone wrong?”
As soon as he spoke, there was a light knock on the door.
Sun Yelong quickly came to his senses. “Come in.”
The door opened.
Pei Yi stood alone at the door of the room. Seeing his not-so-familiar old face, his already dazed eyes became even more confused. “Huh?”
Sun Yelong was overjoyed. Then he scanned the two ends of the corridor and found no one else, feeling that something was wrong. “Little Young Master Pei, you’re alone?”
What about the waiter he met earlier?
There wouldn’t be any problems midway, right?
Pei Yi ignored his question, and only lowered his head while taking half a step back in fear. “Where is Er-ge? I’m looking for Er-ge.”
“Er-ge?”
Sun Yelong reacted quickly. “Oh, Second Young Master Bo just left the room and will be right back.”
As he spoke, he scanned Pei Yi greedily.
From the other party’s soft lips, to that superior neck, to the fair skin hidden beneath the suit, everything made him want to move!
The medicine he just swallowed seemed to be working.
Sun Yelong took an eager step forward and tried to reach out to pull Pei Yi. “Come, Little Young Master, come in with me first to wait!”
Pei Yi dodged his ugly, fat hand and hesitated for a moment, as if cowering. “Er-ge, not here, won’t go in.”
Sun Yelong coaxed with a smile on his face, “Second Young Master Bo will be back soon! If you don’t believe me, I’ll call him as soon as we’re in the room!”
“……”
Pei Yi raised his eyes and looked at Sun Yelong cautiously.
It wasn’t until the other party put on a thick-skinned face and tried harder to please him with a smile that he responded softly, “Okay.”
As he said that, he avoided contact with Sun Yelong and walked in.
At the moment they brushed shoulders, the timidity and ignorance in Pei Yi’s eyes quickly receded. He quickly scanned the layout of the suite until he heard the sound of the door closing behind him with a ‘click,’ and then returned to the appearance of a little milk cat.
“Call Er-ge.”
Sun Yelong heard this urging and objected from the bottom of his heart.
He kept his nice guy mask and walked to the tea bar in the small living room. After picking up his phone, he looked surprised. “Aiyo, look at my brain. The phone is out of battery and turned off.”
“…….”
“I’ll charge it up and make a call as soon as it turns on.”
Sun Yelong pretended to charge the cell phone, then picked up the red wine that he had prepared earlier. “Little Young Master, are you thirsty? Sit down and have a little drink?”
Pei Yi stared at the glass of red wine, suppressed the disdain in his heart, and shook his head.
This Sun Yelong looked like a man with many tricks. Maybe he would add some messy things to the wine to make him submissive and obedient.
“Er-ge won’t let me drink.”
“This is juice.”
Sun Yelong’s lies just kept coming.
He stuffed the wine glass into Pei Yi’s hand and took the opportunity to touch his fingers. Smooth, delicate, like they were half soaked in milk. It seemed that you could taste that sweet flavor with one bite.
Pei Yi retracted his hand instantly, disgusted. “Don’t touch me!”
But this brief touch was like a primer, igniting Sun Yelong’s long-standing dirty thoughts. He saw Pei Yi’s resistance and became increasingly excited.
“Little Young Master, don’t be afraid, ah! How boring is it to just wait, ah?” Sun Yelong squinted his eyes, rubbed his hands, and went to touch the little face of the person in front of him. “How about we play a game? It feels very good.”
—Splash!
Pei Yi flung the glass of wine into his face, and then took the opportunity to quickly retreat to a corner.
“…….”
The slightly cold wine entered Sun Yelong’s eyes and nose, choking his thoughts to a standstill for two seconds.
“Yo, you still have a little temper?”
Sun Yelong wiped the alcohol off his face, looked at Pei Yi hiding in a corner, and the anger in his body danced wildly. He swallowed a large amount of saliva secreted in his excitement. “If you won’t drink it, you won’t drink it, ba. Think I can’t handle an inexperienced little brat like you?”
The effects of those two pills had fully begun.
Hot sweat oozed from Sun Yelong’s forehead, and an unnatural blush appeared on his cheeks. His whole body looked greasy. As he walked, he untied the belt of his bathrobe as if wanting to show his majesty.
“Pei Yi, right? Let me see where else you can hide.”
Sun Yelong approached Pei Yi, who had no way to retreat, with unconcealed confidence and arrogance on his face. “What’s the use of being stubborn now? When you get in bed later, you still have to……”
Pei Yi couldn’t endure it anymore. He picked up the iron figurine placed in the recessed wall next to him and slammed it hard onto Sun Yelong’s head. “Scram!”
—Bang!
Sun Yelong only felt the heat suddenly rush to his head, and the blood in his whole body seemed to coagulate. He could only let the severe pain drive him to fall backwards and crash to the ground.
Pei Yi looked at Sun Yelan’s bloodied head with a touch of insouciance at the ends of his eyes. “Trash like you wants to make a pass at me?”
From the moment he entered the room, he was already on guard and observing the layout.
In this corner, there were tools suitable for picking up and smashing people in self-defense, and it was also the easiest place to create a “no escape” trap to make Sun Yelong relax his vigilance.
“…….”
Sun Yelong’s head was buzzing, and he couldn’t hear what Pei Yi said at all. He reacted a few beats later and covered his bleeding head, and only then did he realize that the other party had hurt him!
He wanted to have fun but failed, and actually got wounded in action?
He had lived most of his life, and no one had ever dared to treat him like this!
A kind of frustrated fury emanated from Sun Yelong due to the enormous pain. With strength that was perhaps from the effects of the medicine, he forced himself to stand up, furiously wanting to teach the disobedient Pei Yi a lesson.
Pei Yi had already anticipated his movements, and decisively kicked him.
“—Ah!”
There was a short, hoarse shout of pain.
Looking at Sun Yelong lying on the ground, Pei Yi just walked neatly around him, not intending to remain in the same room with this trash.
Before he could get near to the closed door, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Beep-beep.
There was the sound of an electronic lock.
The person waiting outside the room seemed to be in a hurry, and kicked hard.
—Bang!
Pei Yi was startled by the loud crash against the door.
He looked up in surprise, and his field of vision was completely occupied by several figures outside the room.
“…….”
“…….” In addition to Uncle Kai and Bo Yueming, there was also a very tall man with short-cropped hair standing at the door of the room.
The other’s sharp, narrow eyes were glowering with malice at this moment, and there was also a thin scar at the corner of his eye, which made him look dangerous and oppressive.
Different from Bo Yueming’s noble and proud aura, Pei Yi felt that the short-cropped young man was more like a sharp weapon honed in a sea of swords and blood.
He and Bo Yueming occupied the positions at the door, one on the left and the other on the right. The cold aura emanating from the two at the same time scared the hotel manager who had opened the door with his head down like a quail, and he was so frightened that he didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Pei Yi!”
“Xiao Yi!”
Bo Yueming and the short-cropped man shouted simultaneously.
Pei Yi broke free from his astonished scrutiny and realized that he had forgotten to manage his expression just now! He quickly averted his gaze and started to prepare the right mood. “I, I didn’t……”
Before he could finish quibbling, the short-cropped man approached him on long legs, enveloping him within his range of protection. “Is there any injury?”
“…….”
Pei Yi looked at the man who was practically holding him in his arms, and along with what he had called Pei Yi, the identity of the other party was immediately confirmed—
Qin Yishun.
An important male supporting role in the original text.
The old Pei couple had ‘one daughter and two sons’ under their knees. Qin Yishun was born to the eldest daughter, Pei Lin, and was also the grandson of Old Father Pei. In terms of seniority, he was the older cousin of the original owner.
Bo Yueming felt the momentum of the person beside him rushing into the room, and his gaze froze.
For some reason, the frustration due to his inconvenient eyes, which hadn’t appeared for a long time, surged up again. However, he quickly suppressed his emotions and walked in. “Pei Yi.”
Uncle Kai beside him was also worried. “Little Sir, what is going on? Don’t be afraid, speak slowly. We will handle everything for you.”
Just six or seven minutes ago, Uncle Kai suddenly received a text message from an unfamiliar number, saying that Pei Huan called someone to take Pei Yi to room 2108, and there might be danger.
After learning this, Uncle Kai immediately informed Bo Yueming. The latter realized the danger and left Minister Zheng with a disregard for etiquette for the first time, and rushed over immediately.
As for Qin Yishun, they met by accident in the elevator hall.
The other party should have come to find Pei Yi after sniffing out the news today. Hearing that the latter might have had an accident, they went upstairs together.
Sun Yelong, who had fallen to the ground, was still cursing and crying out in pain intermittently.
Pei Yi knew that he couldn’t avoid being investigated afterwards, so he took the opportunity to perform. He threw the bloody iron figurine to the ground fearfully, and within a few seconds, grievances welled up in his eyes.
“He, he made me play games with him.”
Pei Yi said the words “play games” extremely innocently, when they fell into the ears of Bo Yueming, Qin Yishun, and the others, they clearly understood another deeper meaning.
What games?
Sun Yelong, that wicked old bastard!
Bo Yueming’s eyes hidden under his glasses promptly became colder, and Qin Yishun’s face turned ashen at once.
Pei Yi knew that they were all clever people, so he simply added, “I don’t know him, I don’t want to play, I’m s-scared.”
Bo Yueming took the lead this time. “Pei Yi, come here.”
Pei Yi covertly glanced at Qin Yishun, whom he was “meeting for the first time,” but chose to hide beside the more familiar Bo Yueming. “Er-ge.”
It was still that soft voice, sounding like a kitten seeking shelter. Bo Yueming sensed Pei Yi’s dependence and nearness, and the coldness in his expression disappeared together with the suppressed frustration in his heart. He raised his hand according to the height he remembered, and gently squeezed the nape of Pei Yi’s neck. “Don’t be afraid.”
“Wu.”
Pei Yi shrank his neck sensitively and let out a nasal hum.
Qin Yishun at the side saw his cousin leave him and get close to Bo Yueming. A hint of subtle sourness emerged on his already livid complexion, but he was afraid of scaring Pei Yi, so he chose to maintain, “You did nothing wrong.”
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the iron figurine, then solemnly lied through his teeth.
“I struck this person, it has nothing to do with you.”
“…….”
Pei Yi was taken aback for a moment, and sighed inwardly.
No wonder the original text used ‘double-standard protective madman’ to describe Qin Yishun. This fact was even more exaggerated than the description in the book, ah!
Uncle Kai glanced at Sun Yelong, who was lying on the ground in disgrace, and said with disgust and lingering fear, “Second Young Master, this Sun Yelong should have been invited by Bo Guancheng. After entering the banquet hall, he stayed with Young Mr. Pei the whole time. This matter must have something to do with them!”
“Young Mister Pei?”
Qin Yishun reacted slightly with a frown. “Is that Pei Huan?”
As soon as he spoke, Sun Yelan struggled to get up behind him and stared at the group of them. “Who allowed you to break in without authorization? Hotel manager! S-security!”
The hotel manager who was huddled by the door was in a cold sweat.
He knew Sun Yelong’s identity, and also understood that he couldn’t afford to offend Bo Yueming and the others, so he opened the door with one hand and tipped off Pei Huan and Bo Guancheng with the other. Unfortunately, the latter two didn’t come after a long time.
Sun Yelong covered his bleeding forehead with one hand, pointing at Pei Yi with the other and scolding, “You still haven’t gotten out!”
His bathrobe was loose on him, his cheeks and neck were flushed the color of pig liver, and his oily head and belly were as ugly as could be.
Hearing Sun Yelong’s clamoring, Bo Yueming couldn’t help but protect Pei Yi behind him.
Qin Yishun took two steps closer to Sun Yelong and examined him from top to bottom with a terrifying gaze. He saw that the other party was still unsightly due to the medicine, and a burst of ruthlessness broke over his face.
He simply twisted the wrist of Sun Yelong’s pointing hand, turned him around, and then raised his foot and kicked him in the lower back. The entire series of movements contained no superfluous gimmicks, and it was just like he was handling a small chicken.
Sun Yelong was kicked rather far by him, and by coincidence, he bumped into the corner of a table that was about half his height.
“—Ah!”
The pig-like squeal echoed through the suite.
Sun Yelong’s liver-colored face paled in an instant, and he completely fainted to the ground.
Pei Huan, who had come over after hearing the news, heard the scream and felt that something was wrong. He quickly entered the door, but before he had time to check the situation, he was shocked to a standstill by the scene before him—
Bo Yueming and Qin Yishun were protecting Pei Yi on the right and left, their faces turning cold one by one.
Pei Yi, who was protected in the middle, seemed completely unaware of the oppression on both sides. The flush at the corners of his eyes had not dissipated, and he greeted him with a soft smile.
“Cousin is here too~”
