After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 73
A WeChat video call suddenly popped up. It was Bo Yueming.
Pei Yi inexplicably panicked, afraid that his sorry appearance would make his lover worry.
He quickly wiped his face with a wet paper towel, smoothed his messy hair a bit, and gathered his outermost coat in before answering the video call.
Bo Yueming’s face appeared the moment the screen switched on.
They had obviously just seen each other that morning, but what happened these few short hours was not something that anyone could easily bear.
After seeing Bo Yueming, Pei Yi’s courage when facing his kidnappers collapsed in an instant, and he felt an inexplicable sense of grievance and sourness. “Er-ge.”
“Pei Yi.”
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Bo Yueming stared at him without blinking, the worry in his eyes undiminished. “Why did it take so long for the video call to connect, are you injured?”
“No, I’m fine, it’s just a little cold.”
Pei Yi explained his situation very lightly, not wanting to distract Bo Yueming from his business at the shareholder meeting for the time being.
He glanced at Qin Yishun, who was sitting quietly by his side with his face growing darker and darker, and added in a very low whisper, “Er-ge, my big brother is getting angry, shh.”
“…….”
Suddenly being used as an excuse to “bluff” people, Qin Yishun’s expression darkened even more—
What was so good about Bo Yueming? Was he enthralled by his own little brother’s willing appearance?
Seeing that Pei Yi liked him, Qin Yishun just turned a blind eye. As a result, his little brother was involved in the Bo family’s disputes two and then three times, and each time was more frightening!
It had been less than five minutes since he had gotten out of a dangerous situation, and in front of his brother, he only had eyes for Bo Yueming?
“…….”
A daughter married off was like water poured out, and it was hard to recover a cabbage with long legs![1]
Qin Yishun remembered this joke he had heard in the army before, and simply turned his gaze out the window so he couldn’t see them.
Annoying!
At this moment, the ‘annoying’ Pei Yi was still immersed in the video call, not revealing the wounds on his body. “Er-ge, the shareholder meeting hasn’t ended so soon, has it?”
“Not yet, I rushed out after receiving the WeChat message.”
Bo Yueming glanced in the direction of the large conference room and explained, “The most important part on the agenda is coming soon.”
Pei Yi was anxious. “Then you go back quickly, what are you still doing here chatting with me?”
Hearing that his tone was as normal as always, Bo Yueming only said, “Listening to your voice wasn’t enough, I needed to see you to rest assured. I’m ready to go back now.”
Pei Yi nodded. “En, don’t forget the business I mentioned.”
Bo Yueming recalled the previous voice message, and his ribcage became a shield as he recovered his confidence. “I know, none of them will leave with a smile today.”
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait for you to finish.”
Pei Yi hung up the phone, only to find that his brother’s expression was nearly as black as carbon.
“…….”
Pei Yi suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, and the curve at the corners of his mouth widened a bit, trending toward cute and obedient.
“Brother?”
“Don’t call me Brother and take my phone to send WeChat messages and make phone calls. You only think about Bo Yueming, but have you ever thought about your brother who was worried this whole time?”
Qin Yishun took a deep breath, feeling a little sour.
Pei Yi thought of the special endearment he had sent Bo Yueming in that WeChat voice message, and his eyes filled with a bit of guilt.
“Cough.” He deleted the WeChat voice message without any trace. “Brother, I really know I was wrong.”
“Can’t you see me now? I’m fine! Don’t worry about me, okay?”
Qin Yishun looked at his red, swollen, bleeding arm and frowned. “You call this fine?”
“The wounds on the wrists and ankles are self-explanatory, but what happened to your arm? Did they drag you on the concrete?”
“No.”
Pei Yi thought of his risky jump from the building that could have resulted in disaster if he was a little careless, and his eyes wandered in avoidance. “I just fell when I was running away barefoot.”
It was indeed a fall, but not on flat ground, and was instead a fall from a high place to a low place.
Qin Yishuen felt that the wound was not that simple. Just as he was about to ask, there was a knock on the car door—
The subordinate sent over the shoes and socks that had been bought for the interim. “Boss Qin, the things you asked for.”
“We also handed over the three kidnappers and their weapons to the police, and Mr. Pei may be required to give a statement later.”
Pei Yi took the opportunity to change the subject. “Okay, I’ve troubled you.”
“It’s no trouble.”
The subordinate stopped there and turned to leave.
Pei Yi picked up the shoes and socks, and blatantly changed the topic, “Aiyo, I’ll put them on quickly, my feet are almost numb from the cold. Brother, you drive, I still want to go to Bo Group to watch the excitement.”
Qin Yishun was angry and helpless. “Do you have to go?”
Pei Yi nodded affirmatively, a dark light overflowing from the corners of his reddened eyes.
“The culprit of the kidnapping is still at Headquarters, and I can’t let this go. Brother, will you teach him a lesson for me later?”
Qin Yishun had always had no way to deal with Pei Yi, not to mention that his last sentence really hit him in the heart.
“Brother~”
Pei Yi’s voice dragged on for a long time. “Let’s go. At worst, we’ll arrive at Bo Group in a while and you can apply medicine for me, okay?”
Qin Yishun sighed. “Fasten your seatbelt.”
Pei Yi responded with a smile, “Okay!”
. . . . . . .
The door of the conference room reopened.
After settling his emotions, Bo Yueming walked steadily back to his place before everyone’s eyes, and calmly took control. “Apologies, some personal matters delayed me. Where are we now?”
Sitting in the back row, Bo Guancheng narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong—
Why did he come back?
Shouldn’t he have run off to find Pei Yi, unable to sit still? Why did he look more at ease than before?
Some shareholders couldn’t help being curious. “Mr. Bo, are, are your eyes okay?”
Bo Yueming took off his concealing guide glasses and placed them lightly on the table. “They’re pretty much healed. Thank you, shareholders, for your concern.”
The light in those blue eyes had rekindled again, even a bit colder than before.
Bo Yueming looked around at the large and small shareholders, and paused for a moment on Bo Guancheng’s face. “As the only ‘general manager’ of Bo Group, I will better lead the group to a new level in the future.”
He bit out the word “only,” and Bo Guancheng grit his teeth upon hearing it.
“In this near year, shareholders and—” Bo Yueming gestured toward Cheng Yangshan and Bo Lihui, and said simply, “Mr. Chairman, please support me.”
The next step was voting to “hire or dismiss” the holders of high level positions. His pre-emptive move made it clear that he had grabbed the shareholders’ votes before the decision-making could begin—
It had to be known that Bo Yueming was able to win the Wencheng project while blind, and now he had publicly stated that his eyesight had recovered. Wouldn’t this improve project efficiency?
At this time, who would object to a general manager that could make the group a profit?
Sure enough, there were shareholders that responded quickly and happily, “That is a matter of course. Let the company’s projects be handed over to Mr. Bo. We can all rest assured!”
“Yes, ah, yes, ah.”
Hearing the responses of many shareholders, Bo Lihui subconsciously looked at Cheng Yangshan, a little anxious.
Cheng Yangshan hadn’t expected for this to happen either, but the matter had come to this point. He still grabbed his cane and tapped it hard, beginning the “scene” that he had planned beforehand—
“I, Cheng Yangshan, do not agree with Bo Yueming continuing to serve as general manager of Bo Group!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s attention was drawn in.
Bo Jiao was the first to ask, “Why?”
Cheng Yangshan straightened up, harnessing his speaking skills. “Why? He knows this himself!”
A shareholder who was biased toward the main branch assisted him, saying, “From the old man’s tone, has Bo Yueming done something outrageous?”
Bo Yueming picked up his water glass with no outward panic at all.
Cheng Yangshan knew that he was not someone who was easy to deal with, so he took out the set of excuses he had prepared in the beginning, “Ladies and gentlemen, family affairs should not be publicized, but this bastard has made too many mistakes!”
“I was unable to teach him well, but for the sake of the future of Bo Group, I can only place justice above family and remove him from his position. I implore everyone to help me!”
The well-prepared remarks drew the attention of the conference room to the utmost, seemingly reserving affection for Bo Yueming, but actually pushing him to the forefront.
Bo Jiao didn’t know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and was worried for Bo Yueming—
Over these months of working together, she had truly recognized the other party’s ability, and also accepted him as her half-brother.
Bo Jiao leaned in toward Bo Yueming on his right, and asked in a whisper, “Brother, what does the old man mean by this?”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Bo Yueming’s mouth, and he deliberately didn’t lower his voice. “Since everyone is here, I’ll ask Mr. Cheng to publicly clarify.”
The vague provocation of “Mr. Cheng” made the atmosphere even more tense.
Cheng Yangshan’s expression was slightly stiff, and as if to cover something up, he slammed down with his cane. “Up to now, you still don’t know to repent?”
“Using the convenience of the general manager position and your grandmother’s trust in you, how much funding have you embezzled privately? The GM commercial investment firm in your own name, how did you get the money for it? Don’t you know?”
“After being discovered by your grandmother at the beginning of this year, she originally wanted to educate you in private, but you didn’t consider the kindness of your relatives at all and pushed her to the ground, causing her to fall into a coma!”
Everyone present was shocked to hear this.
What?
Was Old Chairwoman Bo’s accident man-made?
Bo Yueming pushed her after doing something wicked?
Bo Jiao was the first to deny it, “How is this possible? Who doesn’t know that my brother is the child brought up by Grandma herself? How could he hurt her?”
The shareholders nodded slightly as they recalled the past.
“How is it impossible!”
Bo Guancheng stood up from the back row, showing his presence. He walked forward from the back while continuing to add “evidence” against Bo Yueming—
“Not long after the old lady fell into a coma, Bo Yueming moved her behind our backs! Whenever we ask about her, he blocks us with various excuses!”
“He’s clearly afraid that the old lady will expose his bad deeds when she wakes up, and he wants to be the first to silence her!”
“The heavens are watching when humans act. Not long after Grandma’s accident, he also lost his sight in a car accident, which temporarily curbed his wolfish ambitions!”
Bo Lihui chimed in cooperatively, “Everyone, it’s not that I’m partial to my own son. There is something else I want to clarify—”
“Guancheng is definitely not a womanizer. The previous incident occurred because someone plotted against him and drugged him. He immediately went for a drug test and handed it over to the police to file a case.”
This was, of course, made up.
“The reason we refrained from speaking is because the investigation results have not been released, so he can only suffer ridicule and grievances in vain.”
Bo Lihui glanced in Bo Yueming’s direction very obviously.
Shareholders who favored the main branch played along, “Chairman, you really save face when you speak!”
“Some time ago, Guancheng had an accident, and the positions of general manager and deputy general manager went to the second branch siblings, and Bo Yueming’s eyes recovered a long time ago. Where can there be such a coincidence?”
“All the shareholders present are not fools, you can see the trick that is being played here!”
He secretly misappropriated funds and hurt the old lady, but going blind in the car accident affected his plans?
And after his eyes healed, he teamed up with the second branch to remove Bo Guancheng from the position as general manager!
What was next? Was he aiming for the position of chairman of Bo Group?
In the large conference hall, discussions abounded.
Bo Yueming felt the gazes cast by everyone, either anxious, puzzled, or questioning, and felt a chill in his heart—
What was he seeing?
Did they want to surreptitiously substitute one thing for another and create a patchwork plan to frame him?
It was clear that Cheng Yangshan had failed to embezzle public funds, and accidentally injured Old Mrs. Bo, but now this set of charges was placed on him?
He had worked and saved money during university, and co-founded GM after his graduation, but even this had become part of the unwarranted allegations?
The car accident was caused by Bo Guancheng, and Bo Guancheng dispensed the drugs first, but now he said the car crash was only an accident and wanted to secretly frame him?
Were the three of them innocent? They were clearly jackals of the same tribe!
Wicked! Ridiculous! Shameless!
Bo Jiao still didn’t believe the main branch’s arguments, and urged in a low voice, “Brother, can you explain?”
Bo Yueming stroked his watch, and said with a calm and breezy air that no outsiders could see though, “What about the evidence? You don’t intend to convict me based on your few arrangements, do you?”
Cheng Yangshan had already guessed that he would ask this question, and continued to create difficulties, “Arrangements? Do you still need us to spell out what you must do?”
“Since you want clarification, then get it from the source! Let your grandmother come out and clarify for you!”
Cheng Yangshan stood up agitatedly, both furious and sad. “It’s been more than half a year. Whether she’s alive or dead, have you let us see her again? You…..”
At the end, his voice was choked with a sob.
Some shareholders asked, “What’s wrong with the old man?”
Bo Guancheng immediately put on an act. “Grandpa, you just got out of the hospital not long ago. Don’t be over-excited, take it easy.”
“I heard that if a cerebral hemorrhage doesn’t improve after half a year, then……”
Some shareholders were uncertain, and spoke tactfully, “According to the old lady’s character, she would have come back long ago if she was okay. How can there be no movement at all?”
“Yes, ah, Mr. Bo stopped the family from seeing the old lady. What does this mean?”
“What else could it mean? If the old lady was awake, the culprit couldn’t hide. If the old lady is gone, according to inheritance laws, what else could Bo Yueming get?”
“How can the grandson stop the whole family from seeing the grandmother? There is no reason! I think he is harboring evil intentions!”
Three or four shareholders who supported the main branch spoke up one after another, and someone else was the first to take a stand—
“I agree with what the old man said, Bo Yueming cannot be allowed to stay in the group, or who knows what he’ll do behind the scenes!”
Right now, it seemed that he was helping the group make money, but that was because he wanted to win people’s hearts. Who knew what he would do when he was completely in power?
Public opinion was great, and slander could melt iron and stone.
The isolated and helpless Bo Yueming lowered his eyes, remaining silent.
Cheng Yangshan concealed the gleam in his eyes, while Bo Lihui and Bo Guancheng exchanged glances.
The confrontation now had a faint bias, and next, a vote would be made. If they added the big shareholders who favored the main branch and the small shareholders they bought in advance with benefits—
Even if others stood in line with Bo Yueming, based on the ratio of shares, the other party could only leave the group today!
At this thought, Bo Lihui covertly gave a shareholder another veiled look.
The latter understood, and launched the final blow. “Yes, ah! Since the old lady isn’t here, the old man and Chairman Bo are in charge, so…..”
—Bang!
The conference room door was swiftly opened.
A slow, powerful voice like the wind in late winter and early spring broke through all the dirt and filth. “Who says I’m not here?”
Bo Peizhi was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing the plain, thick shawl, and the person helping to push her was the former chief assistant Zhong Yi.
Not only that, but there were six strong bodyguards in black standing behind the two of them.
Just standing there, this grand scene was enough to frighten people!
“…….”
The conference room, which had still been a little noisy, instantly switched to silent mode.
Everyone’s expressions changed again and again. It was incomparably wonderful.
Only Bo Yueming, who was in the know, remained calm. He took the initiative to walk over and call out, “Grandma.”
Bo Peizhi nodded slightly. “En, thank you for your hard work.”
Although she was still then, her complexion was much better than when she had just woken up.
Bo Yueming exchanged glances with Zhong Yi, who was pushing the wheelchair. She was specially invited from Haishi to assist. “Sister Zhong, let me do it.”
Some shareholders couldn’t help but say, “W-what’s going on, ah? Chairwoman, are you okay?”
They had just talked so drivenly just now, and even agreed that Old Mrs. Bo was “dead.”
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the other party appeared in front of them in good condition.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.”
Bo Peizhi raised a hand lightly, and all conversations stopped in an instant.
What really convinced them was by no means strong words or relying on volume, but the steadiness and calmness of many years of experience.
“Peizhi, you……”
Cheng Yangshan gazed at his wife who had suddenly appeared in the conference room, and his astonishment could not be dispelled. A secret sense of fear even arose in his heart.
He stood up from the head seat, but his feet seemed to be weighted down, and it was difficult to move even half a step.
The Bo Lihui and Bo Guancheng father and son looked at each other, and the impending victory in their eyes cracked.
Bo Peizhi regarded these three generations of grandchildren and grandparents, and prompted, “Xiao Yi, I don’t like to sit in this lousy wheelchair.”
She was of strong character, and if she could stand, she didn’t like to sit and show weakness.
Zhong Yi was helpless, but chose to cooperate.
With her support, Bo Peizhi walked in front of Cheng Yangshan, with an indescribably ruthlessness in her seemingly tranquil eyes.
“Is this seat comfortable?”
Facing his wife’s dry question, Cheng Yangshen felt guilty from the bottom of his heart, and couldn’t help but exert force on the hand holding the cane.
Before he could utter a word, the left side of his face hurt!
—Pa!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bo Peizhi slapped Cheng Yangshan hard on the face.
“…….”
Cheng Yangshan opened his eyes in astonishment. The two had been married for many years, and even if Bo Peizhi was a strong woman, she would save him some face outside!
Even on the day when they quarreled the worst and the accident happened, Bo Peizhi hadn’t slapped him.
This was the first time!
Bo Lihui at the side saw this scene and panicked. “Mom!”
—Pa!
Bo Peizhi’s slap landed on Bo Lihui’s face, and she criticized harshly, “You bastard, do you have something to share?”
Bo Lihui felt the heat on his cheek, and immediately fell into a silent panic.
Bo Peizhi looked at Bo Guancheng, who was hesitant to speak, and caught him accurately. “What, do you have something to say?”
Comprehending the situation, Bo Guancheng changed his tone. “N-No, Grandma, please don’t get angry. Has there been some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?”
Where couldn’t Bo Peizhi see his little calculations? She unceremoniously gave him a slap, pa!
“When you designed a car accident for Yueming, then tried to drug him, and dug your own grave in the end, was that also a misunderstanding?”
“…….”
One slap after another, one question after another!
The shareholders present looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that they had never seen such a scene—
The three generations of Cheng Yangshen, Bo Lihui, and Bo Guancheng were all slapped in the face by Old Mrs. Bo, but Bo Yueming stood there tranquilly.
There was clearly a reversal, ah!
In the end, according to Old Mrs. Bo’s style of work in the past few decades, who was right and who was wrong in this battle suddenly had an obvious result.
The face that had been strong for decades was completely swept away at this moment, and Cheng Yangshan didn’t hold back after all, glaring angrily. “Bo Peizhi, what do you mean? We’ve been husband and wife for decades!”
“Husband and wife?”
Bo Peizhi exposed the truth regardless of affection. “At the beginning, you misappropriated Bo Group’s finances and my private seal in order to benefit a bunch of your shameless relatives!”
“After I found out, you grew angry and knocked me to the ground. Have you ever considered us to be husband and wife?”
“If it wasn’t for Yueming, who realized something was wrong and transferred me to another hospital for protection, I’m afraid I would be burned to ashes by now and not qualified to stand here!”
This simple and clear statement of facts was enough to shock everyone—
After such a long time, it turned out that Chang Yangshan was the one who used his power for personal gain? Chang Yangshan was the one who almost made the Old Chairwoman fall gravely ill?
“Chang Yangshan, I’ve turned a blind eye to your behavior these years, but you didn’t know to repent and just got worse!”
“Let me ask you, did you want to marry me back then?”
“All these years, Bo Manor has been yours, servants have been arranged for you, and you have never been short of money. If someone else had been eating soft rice for decades, they would be happy, but you—”
Bo Peizhi still retained her hard and unyielding personality. Although she was old, her words were still piercing, and slapped Cheng Yangshan hard in the face.
“How much are you worth? Your shamelessness all these years cannot be afforded!”
Cheng Yangsheng shook with anger, his complexion more agitated than an overturned color palette. “You, I……”
“Stop talking nonsense! From today until the day you die, go back to where ever you came from!”
“As long as I, Bo Peizhi, live in this world, you and your family cannot even think about getting any benefits from the Bo’s!”
The Bo family would always be the Bo family! No one could covet it!
Bo Peizhi finished speaking in one breath, and signaled to Bo Yueming with her eyes. “Yueming, please come in.”
Bo Yueming nodded, and sent a text message to his assistant Lin Zhong.
Cheng Yangshan was so infuriated by this sudden reversal that he fell down on his chair suddenly, gasping for breath.
Bo Lihui was anxious and flustered. “Dad! Dad, are you okay? Ambulance, Guanchang, hurry and call an ambulance!”
Bo Peizhi watched coldly. “I’ll see who dares call an ambulance for him!”
She had already seen through Cheng Yangshan’s bad nature. The other party was contemptible, and would not fall directly ill like this!
Even if he really passed out on the ground, the bodyguards that Bo Yueming had brought for her also had first aid skills and would not let the other party die for a while!
Within a minute, disordered footsteps sounded again.
Assistant Lin Zhong walked in with four law enforcement officers, and the leader looked around for their target. “Chang Yangshan, Bo Lihui, right?”
“We have received a report that you are suspected of a job occupation dispute, and we have obtained preliminary evidence. Please cooperate with us to go back for further investigation!”
Bo Lihui’s face turned colors. “W-what job occupation? I didn’t!”
The officers didn’t listen to his excuses. “Whether you are involved or not, come with us to make it clear!”
“…….”
Bo Lihui looked at Cheng Yangshan, who was too angry to speak, and immediately cast his gaze to Bo Peizhi. “Mom, I know I was wrong! Give me another chance! I’ll do anything!”
In fact, Bo Lihui was very aware of what he had done to help Cheng Yangshan during this period of time, and was even more afraid of the prison time he would face after the follow-up investigation was completed.
“Mom, I’m part of the Bo family!”
Bo Peizhi looked at this eldest son and was full of disappointment. “From the moment you helped him harm me, you were no longer my son!”
The reason why she refused to hand over the position of chairman for so many years was not that she was obsessed with power, but because she had already seen that—
Neither of the two sons she had given birth to could be of great use!
Bo Lihui was arrogant and full of himself, and in his bones, he was just as greedy as his father! And Bo Lihong had a romantic nature, and even if he restrained himself later, he had no intention of managing the family business.
Bo Peizhi worked hard for her grandson and granddaughter, who were useful people of the next generation—
Bo Guancheng’s temper was mild and sleek, Bo Yueming’s was cold and severe, and Bo Jiao and Bo Wang were still young, so they couldn’t play a role for the time being.
If the former two could help each other along the path they had cultivated, she would have been relieved.
It was a pity, ah, that there were still some people who had been influenced by their parents and grandparents and had gone astray!
Bo Peizhi ignored her eldest son’s false confession and let the law enforcement officers take him away with Cheng Yangshan, who had almost fainted. She didn’t want to take another look.
“……”
Bo Lihui really panicked, and was filled with so much regret that his intestines turned green. He had obviously lived a smooth life all these years, so how had things come to this point?
It was a pity that no matter how regretful he felt, he couldn’t change the result.
The door of the conference room closed again.
Bo Peizhi sat back on the main seat, holding on to her last bit of strength. “Dear shareholders, since I am back, I will naturally arrange the vacant positions properly.”
“Do you have any objections to today’s shareholder meeting being dismissed?”
Bo Peizhi had been in control of Bo Group for more than fifteen years, and she was also one of the top figures in the Imperial Capital circle!
Even though she had just recovered from an extended illness, she was still resolute in her tactics and even put righteousness before her relationship with her husband and son—
Who would dare to say no to her?
The shareholders’ meeting ended in a farce, and everyone knew that the main branch’s momentum was gone.
The few shareholders who were leaning toward Bo Guancheng and his ilk didn’t dare to speak anymore under the pressure of Old Mrs. Bo.
“…….”
Bo Guancheng looked at Old Mrs. Bo in the main seat, and the malice that had been brewing in his heart all this while thoroughly condensed.
He had never expected that Old Mrs. Bo would recover so early, and that Bo Yueming would invite her to today’s shareholders’ meeting!
What should he do now?
Without the support of Cheng Yangshan, all the hard work he had done before would be in vain!
As he thought, Bo Guancheng caught a glimpse of a figure approaching quickly from the corner of his eye.
Bo Yueming, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly went into a rage and kicked him to the ground.
“Ah!”
Bo Guancheng’s vision was filled with stars, and he subconsciously cried out in pain, but this was far from the end—
In front of the shareholders who had not yet disbursed, Bo Yueming, who never preferred to fight, grabbed his collar. “Bo Guancheng, if you touch someone you shouldn’t, you should think about the result!”
His eyes were bursting with rage, and the fist he swung seemed to contain all of his hostility.
“…….”
Bo Guancheng was shocked, and watched helplessly as another punch came—
It actually made him vomit blood!
“H-Help me……”
Bo Guancheng tried to struggle, but having missed his opportunity, he no longer had the strength to resist.
Punch after punch fell.
How had Bo Yueming held back his fear, hatred, and anxiety just now, sitting in the conference room like a normal person?
He hadn’t even dared to think deeply. If something happened to Pei Yi, he would have killed Bo Guancheng on the spot!
Everyone saw Bo Yueming beating the shit out of him and had some doubts for a moment—
What, what was going on here?
Why did Mr. Bo suddenly go crazy like this? If he did such a thing, he would probably get in trouble, right?
Assistant Lin Zong caught up with him. “Mr. Bo! Stop fighting!”
There were so many shareholders watching! It would be terrible if somebody died!
Bo Peizhi and Zhong Yi, who accompanied him, also realized that Bo Yueming was on the verge of losing control, and stopped him one after another.
“Yueming!”
“Calm down!”
But Bo Yueming was immersed in his uncontrollable hatred, and once again aimed his fist at Bo Guancheng’s face.
At that very moment, there was a soft but powerful cry at the door—
“Er-ge.”
“……”
Bo Yueming stopped at once, and with reddened eyes, he slowly turned around to look.
Pei Yi was still wrapped up in Qin Yishun’s oversized coat, trying his best to cover up his injuries.
He walked quickly to the furious Bo Yueming and gently held his wrist like every time before. “Er-ge, stay with me, okay?”
Bo Yueming stared at the person in front of him and sucked in a sudden breath.
He maintained his sanity that was about to collapse, and said in a voice that was so hoarse that he almost couldn’t respond, “Okay.”
Pei Yi ignored everyone’s stares, and gently took his lover away from the conference room, leaving the group of dumbfounded outsiders behind.
. . . . . . .
In the adjacent unoccupied lounge.
Pei Yi locked the door and turned around, falling right into Bo Yueming’s arms. He suppressed the pain in his arm and reached out to caress the back of his lover’s neck with great effort.
“Er-ge, I’m here, it’s alright.”
“……”
Bo Yueming breathed with difficulty, and fiercely pulled his lover into his arms. “Pei, Pei Yi.”
His heartstrings that had been tense to the point of snapping ever since he received the kidnapper’s call finally relaxed at this moment.
Bo Yueming took a deep breath, and choked out a sob, “……I’m sorry.”
