Pei Qingwu couldn't help but stand up, walking back and forth on the ground, gently hitting the palm of his left hand with his right fist, muttering to himself.

"If the facts are really as you said, then provoking Li Henian is not only not a disaster, but also a great move."

"The death of an illegitimate child makes Li Henian angry, but he cannot start a war. He can only use the power of the Li family to suppress the Pei family. He can only let Li Henian put pressure on Pei Runnian as an individual and successfully expel us from the Pei family to achieve our goal."

"And in this way, we can control the situation within a smaller scope, and effectively resist the pressure that Li Henian puts on you and me before the truth is revealed."

"After we reveal the truth and let Li Henian know that it was Chu Longtu who killed his son, we can then take advantage of the situation to dump the pressure on us onto Chu Longtu and accuse Pei Runnian of being weak and irresponsible as a victim. This will also help win Li Henian's favor and make him feel guilty."

"Kill three birds with one stone, not bad!"

"That's it!"

Pei Qingwu slammed his right fist heavily on his left hand, turned around and looked at Pei Qinghai with shining eyes.

"Tell me about your specific plan. How do you plan to kill Li Henian's illegitimate son, and how do you plan to involve Chu Longtu?"

Pei Qinghai raised his eyebrows and spoke easily.

"What's so difficult about this?"

"We already have the Tang family's hostages in our hands. Given Chu Longtu's character, as long as we spread the word, if Chu Longtu doesn't come to see us, we will kill all the Tang family members. Do you think he dares not to come?"

"As for Li Henian's illegitimate child, it's also very simple."

"Li Henian didn't dare to bring his illegitimate son back to Longcheng, but he liked him very much, so he simply bought some property for him in Hedong and settled him here."

"That boy is only 23 or 24 years old, but because of Li Henian's love and doting, he has already become a pioneer in the romantic world. He likes to sleep with prostitutes and hang out with a bunch of bad friends all day long."

"I have already controlled the people around him. When we use the Tang family to seduce Chu Longtu, let the people around him take Li Henian's illegitimate child to our ambush location."

"Once he reaches the battlefield we have chosen, his mission will be over."

"It only takes one small accidental killing, and that kid is completely finished."

"Then we will kill Chu Longtu completely, and then find a place to hide for a few days, and then reappear after Pei Runnian expels us from the Pei family."

Pei Qingwu looked at Pei Qinghai with some confusion.

"Why are we hiding?"

Pei Qinghai rolled his eyes as he looked at Pei Qingwu, whose brain had been completely replaced by muscles.

"Li Henian's illegitimate son died where we fought with Chu Longtu. Li Henian will definitely attack the Pei family."

"If we show up directly, Pei Runnian will definitely hand us over to Li Henian without hesitation. In this case, how can we leave the Pei family?"

"On the contrary, if we kill Li Henian's illegitimate son and then disappear without a trace, and no one can find us, Pei Runnian will not be able to find a scapegoat to vent his anger on Li Henian. Then he can only announce that we will be expelled from the Pei family to give Li Henian an explanation."

"After we are labeled as the perpetrators and expelled from the Pei family, and become despised by everyone, we will come forward and announce the truth in one fell swoop to clear ourselves of all the grievances. We will also righteously accuse Pei Runnian of being weak and irresponsible, and only knowing how to compromise and be weak in the face of external forces, and even unable to protect his own brothers. Such a waste is not worthy of you and me following."

"Then it will be a natural thing for us to announce the establishment of a new family and be irreconcilable with Pei Runnian."

"In this case, who in the whole Hedong will scold us for being ungrateful and breaking away from the Pei family to form our own faction? I'm afraid they will all scold Pei Runnian for being narrow-minded, weak and cowardly, and for not being able to tolerate his own brothers, and instead cooperating with outsiders to expel us from the Pei family!"

"With so many benefits, why don't we hide?"

"Are you going to wait like a fool for Pei Runnian to hand you over to Li Henian to vent his anger?"

Pei Qinghai's words were very impolite, almost like a scolding, but the content of his words did not make Pei Qingwu angry at all. Instead, he touched his nose with an unpleasant look on his face.

Pei Qinghai was right. Only by hiding could they maximize their benefits.

If I really go back to Pei's house foolishly, that would be truly stupid!

Pei Qingwu pondered for a moment, then stared at Pei Qinghai and spoke slowly.

"Since you have planned everything, there is nothing to say. Just get started."

"However, I still have one last question that is stuck in my heart, and I want to ask you."

Pei Qinghai raised his eyebrows and made a gesture to ask whatever you want.

Pei Qinghai stared at Pei Qingwu and spoke word by word.

"It really went according to your plan. After Chu Longtu's death, the position of the Wumeng Deacon was vacant, and I was nominated as one of the candidates for the Deacon."

"And everything on Chu Longtu belongs to that adult. So, what about you?"

"I planned so much and worked so hard, but in the end, all the benefits went to me and that adult, but you didn't get any benefit at all. This is unreasonable!"

"There has never been anyone in this world who only seeks rewards without asking for anything in return, so what is your purpose?"

"What good does it do you to be so busy?"

Pei Qingwu questioned Pei Qinghai very rudely, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he stared at Pei Qinghai closely, ignoring any slight expression on his face.

Pei Qinghai was not surprised at all after hearing Pei Qingwu's words. Facing Pei Qingwu's serious and even cold eyes, he slowly revealed a barely perceptible smile.

"What's in it for me?"

"That's a good question."

Pei Qinghai clapped his hands lightly and spoke with a smile.

"Everyone in the world is here for profit. Since I have done so many things, I naturally want benefits."

"I'm not so great as to work for others for nothing."

"Benefits, of course there are!"

When Pei Qingwu heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes and he asked quickly.

"What's the benefit?"

Pei Qinghai just smiled when he heard this, but did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he waited until Pei Qingwu showed an impatient look on his face before he spoke slowly.

"The benefit I need is related to that adult."

"After I help him kill Chu Longtu successfully, that gentleman will be in a good mood and will naturally not be stingy with a small favor."

Pei Qinghai's words were vague, and Pei Qingwu couldn't help but frowned, but he soon relaxed.

As long as it doesn't involve encroaching on his benefits, he won't care about any secret agreement between Pei Qinghai and that adult.

Anyway, no matter how they communicate privately, his share of the benefits will definitely not be reduced!
