Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

When Pei Xingchen heard the middle-aged man's words, his eyes widened in anger, and the rage in his heart rushed to his heart.

He never expected that the middle-aged man would actually want to default on his debt.

I promised something with all my heart, but the middle-aged man just turned around and denied it?

This is simply unreasonable!

This is totally ignoring him!

In Hedong, is there anyone who dares to play tricks on the Pei family like this?

Pei Xingchen immediately felt that his dignity and majesty were deeply insulted and challenged, which made him furious and he wanted to kill the middle-aged man directly.

Pei Xingchen, who was furious, selectively ignored the content of the middle-aged man's words and only remembered that the middle-aged man rejected him.

In fact, what the middle-aged man said were very realistic. The fire chief did not have the power to mobilize people from the law enforcement department. The fire chief agreed just now only subconsciously because of the reputation of the Pei family.

In fact, given his position, it would be useless even if he agreed, because even if he agreed, he would not be able to mobilize the people from the law enforcement department.

It’s just that the fire chief just thought that the middle-aged man was also here, and with the middle-aged man’s status he would definitely be able to mobilize people from the law enforcement department, so he ignored the difference in his position and chose to agree.

However, Pei Xingchen didn't bother with those things. Since someone had agreed, he had to do it.

Now he goes back on his word, agreeing and then refusing. Does that mean he doesn't take the Pei family seriously and doesn't give him face?

How can this be forgiven so easily?

The middle-aged man also guessed that Pei Xingchen would definitely not give up, but he was determined to refuse Pei Xingchen and go back.

There is no need to be afraid even if Pei Xingchen makes a fuss. If he makes a fuss and the Pei family intervenes, the chairman of the parliament behind him will not sit idly by and will definitely intervene.

The backers of both sides are equally matched, so it will depend on how they play the game.

Even if this offended the Pei family, the Chairman of the Parliament would not blame the middle-aged man, because the middle-aged man rejected Pei Xingchen reasonably and also avoided risks for the Chairman of the Parliament. The Chairman of the Parliament would not blame the middle-aged man, and might even reward him.

But on the other hand, if the middle-aged man had not resisted Pei Xingchen's pressure and agreed immediately, it would have seemed that he was obeying the Pei family, but it would have angered the chairman of the parliament behind him, and his fate would have been even worse.

The reason is very simple. First, if he rashly agreed to deal with Chu Longtu, it would be equivalent to forcing the Chairman of the Parliament, who had originally stayed out of the matter and held a neutral position, to get involved and confront Chu Longtu, thus provoking a powerful enemy for the Chairman of the Parliament. This was completely a scapegoat for the Chairman of the Parliament who wanted to sit back and watch the fire and reap the benefits.

Even if he had no choice but to take action, he would still feel disgusted with the middle-aged man who dragged him into the water, and would beat the middle-aged man severely and cut off his future.

The second reason is that the middle-aged man represents not only himself, but also the chairman of the parliament.

If the middle-aged man only represented himself, then he could just bow down to the Pei family and no one would say anything.

In Hedong, it is normal to please the Pei family and bow to the Pei family, and no one will laugh at him.

However, if the chairman of the parliament he represents bows to the Pei family, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be equivalent to the chairman of the parliament bowing to the Pei family, which is equivalent to making the chairman of the parliament inferior to the Pei family invisibly. If this spreads, it will have a serious impact on the reputation and image of the chairman of the parliament.

By then, it would be strange if the chairman of the parliament, who was inferior to the Pei family for no reason, did not angrily beat the middle-aged man to death!

Therefore, for the above reasons, the middle-aged man resolutely rejected Pei Xingchen.

Even if Pei Xingchen holds a grudge against him, it doesn't matter. As long as his real backer, the chairman of the parliament, still supports him, the Pei family will not be a threat to him.

So the middle-aged man looked at Pei Xingchen very calmly, and did not say a word even though Pei Xingchen was cursing angrily. He looked like "You can curse me as much as you want, but I won't catch Chu Longtu". Pei Xingchen became more and more angry, and even clenched his fists tightly. In his rage, he couldn't help but want to kill the middle-aged man.

Pei Qingsong, who was observing secretly, keenly noticed the change in Pei Xingchen's mood and immediately frowned.

But we can’t let Pei Xingchen get so angry that he really kills the middle-aged man. If we want to catch Tian San and others on the spot, we have to rely on the middle-aged man to make arrangements on the scene, so we must not let Pei Xingchen really kill the middle-aged man.

Thinking of this, Pei Qingsong quickly transmitted the secret message to Pei Xingchen.

"Control your anger. Our goal is not to catch Chu Longtu, but to catch Chu Longtu's people at the scene and put all the blame on him, understand?"

"Calm down!"

In order to intimidate Pei Xingchen, Pei Qingsong also used a little trick similar to the lion's roar when transmitting the sound into secret. When the sound that should have been weak like a mosquito or fly was transmitted to Pei Xingchen's ears, it instantly exploded in his mind like a huge bell, and instantly woke him up from his surging anger.

Pei Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, looked directly at the middle-aged man, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"You rats don't dare to catch Chu Longtu, so well, let the Pei family take care of it."

"But since you are all here at the scene, you won't turn a blind eye to Chu Longtu's men who attacked Tianbo Building and killed countless people from my Pei family, right?"

"They are the instigators of today's disaster, the real culprits. If you don't even dare to arrest them, how can you still claim to be the guardians of Hedong's order?"

In order to get the middle-aged man to capture Tian San and others, Pei Xingchen even used provocation.

The middle-aged man naturally saw through such a shallow provocation, but he still frowned involuntarily.

If Pei Xingchen forced him to capture Chu Longtu, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.

However, the middle-aged man was still hesitant about arresting Chu Longtu's men, who were also the culprits behind the collapse of Tianbo Building.

Capturing Chu Longtu's subordinates and capturing Chu Longtu are two different concepts.

If Chu Longtu is arrested, everyone will definitely think that the Chairman of the Parliament has sided with the Pei family and declared war on Chu Longtu.

However, arresting Chu Longtu's men would not have such an effect, because maintaining order in Hedong is also the parliament's responsibility.

Chu Longtu's men did such a sensational thing, so it was completely reasonable for the parliament to order their arrest.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.

We can't refuse all of Pei Xingchen's requests, otherwise he might really go crazy.

So just arrest Chu Longtu’s men.
