The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Why Become an Assassin Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Why Become an Assassin Shen Yurou previously tried to win Pei Jue’s favor by frequently visiting the Pei Building, and whenever she saw a young and beautiful female employee, she would often have harsh words for them. She successfully managed to make all the employees of Pei internally blacklist her face. Unfortunately, as the young lady of the Shen Family, the employees of Pei did not dare to provoke her.

“I’ve already asked all the security in the Pei Group to blacklist her. Sorry, Qingwu, this won’t happen again.”

Qingwu said calmly, “You shouldn’t apologize to me, you should apologize to your employees.”

Annie was deeply moved! Just listen, what an excellent and kind-hearted lady boss!

Pei Jue smiled and said, “Of course, I gave them an extra bonus, and I reviewed the rules my fiancée set for the gallery and the piano store. Pei will also choose to emulate some of them.”

Qingwu was somewhat surprised.

An established group like Pei had long had its own framework, unlike her gallery and piano store. Zuo Jing’an’s grandfather had gifted her the piano store and gallery, which were more of a minor endeavor. The primary goal of the gallery and the piano store was not profitability. She was surprised not by Pei Jue reviewing the rules she set, but by him actually planning to emulate her decisions.

“There are indeed some shortcomings in Pei’s regulations regarding humanitarian policies. The guidelines you set are excellent.”

Her guidelines provided specific leave for female employees and enhanced all the benefits and wellness arrangements.

Qingwu glanced at Annie, whose ears were practically perked up, and chuckled lightly.

Pei Jue seemed to be a good boss.

Sitting at the dining table, Pei Jue extended his hand toward Qingwu, his voice alluring, “Could I trouble my fiancée to help me with my cufflinks?”

No matter what shirt he wore, he always wore this pair of ruby cufflinks, which added a layer of mysterious, low-key elegance to him, like the vampire duke in the night.

Qingwu casually took them off and placed them on the velvet cloth beside them.

“Why do you wear these every time?” With his wealth, he ought to have countless pairs of cufflinks, right?

“Because the girl I like once helped me put them on.”

As he rolled up his sleeves and skillfully cut the steak under his hand, the pair of ruby cufflinks beside his hand shimmered with understated luster.

Qingwu’s face was slightly flushed in the play of light and shadows.

Pei Jue finished cutting the steak, switched it to Qingwu’s side with practiced ease, and took away the untouched plate of steak in front of her.

“Want to try it?” The steak was draped in sweet sauce, the scent of rosemary mingling with the rich aroma of the meat, tempting enough to make one’s fingers twitch.

Qingwu took small bites of the steak Pei Jue had cut, then looked up at him with a mild expression.

“Why did you become an assassin?”

“Because of some family matters, it’s not convenient to tell you right now.”

Pei Jue held a glass of wine, watching the girl in front of him puffing her cheeks while eating, adorable like a little hamster.

“I don’t want to hide anything, nor do I wish to come up with any excuses to brush you off, so I can only tell you part of it.”

“It’s related to my mother’s death; she was harmed by someone sent by an international assassin organization. Although the assassin failed, she remained bedridden for many years before finally passing away. You could understand it as my desire to personally avenge my mother.”

Ripples flickered in Qingwu’s eyes, the candlelight on the dining table reflecting in her gaze.

“The part that’s not convenient to speak about is related to the Pei Family?”

Pei Jue picked up a delicate spoon, pierced a piece of cream cake, and stuffed it into Qingwu’s mouth, squinting slightly, “Shh, smart children need to know which words to say.”

The Pei Family was flourishing and deep-rooted, and even though she was the daughter of the Shen Family, Pei Jue still worried she might get hurt.

“Understood.”

“The affairs of the Pei Family are somewhat complicated, but my fiancée can trust me. At least before you marry me, I’ll handle everything.”

Marry him? She hadn’t even thought about this matter yet!

But when she met Pei Jue’s clear and unrestrained eyes, Qingwu suddenly had a thought.

“If I marry you tomorrow, you can’t solve those issues in just today, can you?”

Pei Jue was stunned, then doubled over with laughter as if hearing an incredibly delightful joke.

His laughter was rich and mellow, intoxicating like the red wine beside his hand.

“Has my fiancée forgotten what I do? If my fiancée is willing to marry me tomorrow, I would bring the people from Deep Sea today, and everything could be resolved.”

The cake in Qingwu’s mouth suddenly tasted cloyingly sweet.

Looking at Qingwu, Pei Jue’s eyes softened even more; she was simply adorable!

“In exchange, could my fiancée tell me why you became an assassin?”

Why did she become an assassin?

Qingwu remained silent, holding the little spoon and poking the cream cake in front of her.

“I guess, my fiancée became an assassin, and it might have something to do with the Beidou Star Organization, right?”

Qingwu suddenly raised her head, looking at Pei Jue in front of her with a hint of warning.

He still maintained a gentle and composed smile, without any coercion or probing, only concern and anticipation.

“…Yes.”

“Although I don’t know exactly what happened with Beidou Star, since finding out that the people beside my fiancée were all rescued from Beidou Star, I became a bit curious and looked into it.”

Deep Sea might have limited information, but the Pei Group had sufficient means to investigate Beidou Star more comprehensively.

As a forgotten organization on the border, Beidou Star’s members were absolute geniuses gathered from all over the world.

Their intelligence was developed through various drugs and mechanical methods, pushing the limits of human brain and body development.

Pei Jue stood up, adopting a half-kneeling position in front of Qingwu, holding her hand.

“I’m really curious, in the constellations of Beidou Star, what role did my fiancée play?”

Qingwu’s gaze flickered; how could he be so perceptive?

“…Nothing.”

“It’s okay if you’re not willing to tell me; I just wanted to say that you can trust me.”

Pei Jue reached out, ruffling her soft hair with a gentle smile, “You’re still just a child, my fiancée could afford to be a bit more willful.”

Willful?

She had lost the right to be willful from a very young age.

The Lin Family’s indifference and favoritism made her grow up sooner to take care of herself and Grandma Lin.

Pei Jue understood her character and did not press further.

“I have an appointment with Tarzan to meet this weekend, the location arranged by Deep Sea, and I’ll come pick you up then.”

Qingwu frowned slightly, “Is the person Tarzan wants to save within the country?”

“No, his brother’s condition is rather serious; it’s reached the point where apart from Ghost Doctor Chang Yue, no one else can do anything. Tarzan doesn’t dare to move him casually, but I’m only giving him one chance; if he doesn’t bring him, he won’t have another opportunity.”

The meeting place was crucial; if it were arranged by Tarzan, they would lose the initiative.

Pei Jue was smart enough, and bold enough in decision-making.

Seeing her hesitate, Pei Jue chuckled, “I’ve already contacted the people from High Tower; they said they are willing to cooperate with us. It all hinges on my fiancée’s agreement.”

Qingwu: “…”

Those brats were now eager to come and see what Pei Jue actually looked like!

Furthermore, with Deep Sea covering all of High Tower’s expenses and providing the best sniper equipment, the members of High Tower had been scared of poverty when they first followed her; as soon as they saw money, they couldn’t wait to pounce on it.

How could they not agree!

Thinking of those brats’ faces, Qingwu couldn’t help but feel helpless.

“Alright, I understand.”
