Twenty-six inches of great chaos

  Lin Peipei was amused by Baozi's expression, covering her mouth to stifle a laugh for a while before speaking up, "What's with you making it sound so serious, like I'm some kind of difficult guest? As long as Heigou and Baozigou invite me, why wouldn't I go...I see that this group of kids all have pretty unique hairstyles, is this a small team?"

  "Oh, this isn't the first time we've had some new young brothers in the gang, and for a while there wasn't much for them to do, so they couldn't just be running around idle. Recently, freestyle BMX has been pretty popular, so I thought about organizing these kids to train together, and we could even form a team to compete with other teams elsewhere. Who knew that not only did we get a ranking, but this kid even got first place in individual freestyle! So I've been spoiling him a bit, but didn't expect him to become so arrogant and reckless, daring to mess with the boss's head, truly unaware of life or death. When we get back, I'm going to skin him alive!"

  Listening to Baozi talk about teaming up, Lin Peipei's heart moved, her eyebrows slightly raised, and an idea formed in her mind. Beside her, Pei Shitao, who was holding onto Xiao Hongmao, heard that Baozi still wanted to peel his younger brother's skin, felt a bit anxious, but didn't dare speak up, so he could only stare at Lin Peipei with wide eyes.

  "Leopard brother, don't move, you're just stripping people's skin, and you think you're so fierce. This kid is someone else's flesh and blood, if they need to be beaten or scolded, it should be their parents who do it, not you butting in. Otherwise, outsiders will think that your Black Shark Gang is bullying them, and you'll become a target for those with ulterior motives."

  Lin Peipei saw Bai Shidao's anxiety and, with a poker face, said something to Baozi. On the surface, she was helping Hei Shark, but in reality, she was also making excuses for Xiao Hongmao, not letting Baozi punish him again.

  Leopards can't help but hear, but Lin Peipei's words are also reasonable. He thought to himself, Sister Pei has already given enough face to the Black Shark Gang and has paved the way, how could they not give her face? So he went along with it.

  "Sister Pei, whatever you say, we'll do. If you say don't punish him, we won't punish him. As long as you calm down, haha..."

  Bai Shidao heard that he was not punished, and his heart also fell. But Xiao Hongmao was still shouting in pain on the ground, so he had to beg Lin Peipei, "Peipei sister, please spare my cousin, he has been in pain for a long time."

  Lin Pei Pei looked at Xiao Hong Mao, thought for a moment, stood up and walked over, bent down in front of him, with one hand on his dislocated arm. "Little brother, does this pain feel good? I'm teaching you not to recklessly pull out your sword, this sword is meant to see blood, if it doesn't hurt others then it will hurt yourself, do you understand?"

  After finishing, she exerted a bit of force, "Crack!" Xiao Hongmao let out a pained cry, and his arm was reset. Lin Peipei ignored Xiao Hongmao's cry and instead patted Pei Shitao's shoulder, "Shitao, not bad! After a few years, you're starting to look like an older brother. I'm getting more and more fond of you, sis is counting on you, don't disappoint me!"

  Pei Shitao was slapped by Lin Peipei, his face turned bright red, he didn't dare to look up at her and smiled shyly while nodding.

  The leopard nodded and sent Lin Peipei away, scaring off the group of children with a fierce gaze. Xiao Hongmao was also taken away by Pei Shitao, leaving only the people he had brought with him on the scene. The leopard let out a long sigh, and when he got back to the car, he found that his clothes were all soaked in sweat. He irritably took off his top and dialed his big brother's number with his bare upper body.

  Hei Lao Da was currently in another province discussing business when he received a call from Bao Zi, telling him that Lin Pei Pei had returned. He was overjoyed and couldn't contain himself. After hearing what happened today, he was shocked to the point where he jumped up and kicked over his chair, scaring the people around him. Without saying another word, Hei Lao Da handed over the business to his subordinates and rushed off to catch a plane back to Y City. No wonder he was in such a hurry - after finally waiting for his goddess to return, she got offended as soon as they met. If his goddess were to get angry and not see him again, he would be out of luck.

  Hei Lao Da rushed back to Y City in the late afternoon. Bao Zi had already received his instructions and booked a luxurious private room at the Hong Xuan Hotel, where he ordered an exquisite abalone feast. When Lin Pei Pei walked out of the mansion's gate, she was startled by Hei Lao Da's dark green Lincoln limousine, looking around for a while, thinking she had mistaken the car, until Hei Lao Da, dressed in a high-end casual outfit, stood before her, opening the door and inviting her to get in.

  "Hei Ge, looks like your company has been doing well these few years, just look at this Armani suit you're wearing and this car, can't play without some capital."

  Lin Pei Pei was very curious about the interior of the Lincoln, and she chatted casually with Hei Lao Da. The term "Hei Ge" made Hei Lao Da laugh so hard that his teeth were not visible, and his dark face looked like it had been smeared with oil, shining brightly just like his sleek and shiny hair.

  "Brother, this is also thanks to your good fortune. If it weren't for you helping me come up with that idea back then, I might be stuck in prison now, and wouldn't be able to drive my sister around in this nice car. Peipei, let me tell you, brother has everything but money, so whenever you're in a good mood, help me spend some of it, or else it'll just be wasted at home!"

  "You'd better hurry up and find a wife to come back and help you with household chores every day."

  Hei Lao Da heard Lin Pei Pei's words and for a few seconds, his smiling face stiffened, he sighed in his heart, and soon returned to normal.

  "I'd rather find a sister-in-law for you to bring back, but in my heart, your position is not even as close as that of your own sister. I treat you like my own little sister, so don't think I'm not treating you like a brother. Don't be polite with me, or I'll get angry with you."

  Lin Pei was amused by his words and couldn't help but laugh, while the leopard sitting in front of him looked at his big brother's excited face and sighed inwardly, thinking that his big brother was beyond salvation.

  Pei Shitao sent his younger male cousin back and returned home himself. In the evening, when Aunt Gu came back from work, Pei Shitao immediately told her about what had happened. Aunt Gu was so shocked that she became disoriented, turned pale, and almost fainted on the spot. Pei Shitao was frightened by his mother's expression and hastily went to support her, shouting "Mom!"

  Mr. Pei's father had just returned and saw his wife in this state, he was also panicked, hurriedly went to hold his wife and sat down, with medicine oil, fan wind, and handed water, the two parents were anxious. After a long time, Mrs. Gu recovered from her shock and hugged Mr. Pei's father, bursting into tears, which made Mr. Pei's father even more anxious, what was going on, it seemed like the sky was falling. Pei Shitao saw his mother like this and quickly told his father about Quan Zi's affair again. After listening, Mr. Pei's father was also stunned. What? His wife's nephew from her hometown had acted indecently towards the Lin family's daughter, and even pulled out a knife! Not to mention what kind of family the Lin family was, just the fact that he pulled out a knife could be considered a criminal case, and his own wife worked under the Lin family's patriarch. If they were to take revenge on them, it would be enough for their family to get into trouble. Mr. Pei's father worked in an enterprise unit and felt that he wasn't powerful enough to handle this matter.

  The three members of the Pei family were still in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, not knowing how to resolve the matter. Meanwhile, Xiaohong's mother, Aunt Gu, returned home to find her son's arm swollen like a pig's trotter, and she was heartbroken. Without even asking for an explanation, she stormed over to their house, demanding answers.

  As soon as the aunt entered the door, she saw Pei Shi Tao pointing at his nose and rushed over. "Shi Tao, where did you take your brother today? He was fine in the morning, but by evening, his arm is swollen like this! What kind of older brother are you? Why didn't you take good care of him? Luckily, Auntie trusted you to take care of Quan Zi, if anything happened to our family's Guo Quanzhi, Shi Tao, I'm telling you, I won't let it go!"

  Pei Shitao was scolded by his aunt, pointing at his forehead and cursing him fiercely. He felt extremely wronged in his heart, but didn't dare to talk back, so he could only lower his head, bite his lip, and endure it silently, his face flushing red with anger, tears welling up in his eyes. Just as he was about to cry, Gu Auntie stopped him, looked up, and saw her own son being scolded by his wife until he was speechless, and she couldn't help but intervene.

  "Sister-in-law, have you asked clearly how your husband Guquan's arm was injured? If it weren't for our family's Shitao today, your husband Guquan's arm would be crippled!"

  "What's going on... Didn't Shìtāo take him out to play and get hurt today?"

  Gu's sister-in-law listened to Gu's aunt's tone and felt something was off, her heart skipped a beat. She had rushed out without asking clearly what happened, could it be that she wasn't injured while playing? Her mind began to waver, and her tone softened.

  "Sister-in-law, I know you and my brother are busy with work, but you've spoiled our parents rotten, turning them into complete brats. No matter how much you spoil a child, they still need to be managed! Do you know what Guquan did today? He's got the nerve to flirt with the Lin family's daughter in the courtyard, and even tried to pull out a knife on someone! Don't you understand the nature of this incident? Don't you know who the Lin family is? Do you think our Gu family can suppress this incident and get away with it? Are you waiting for the day when Guquan does something even more serious and drags our whole family down with him?! Would that make you happy?"

  "What... this... this... I... don't know..."

  Mrs. Gu was shocked by Auntie Gu's torrent of questions, her mind went blank and she couldn't find the words to speak. She was too stunned! Usually, she rarely asked about what kind of friends her son had made or what he did, leaving everything to his grandparents to take care of, and besides, her son was very sweet-tongued and knew how to flatter people, so she thought he was still a naive little kid, and was even worried that he would be bullied outside, specially entrusting him to the care of her younger sister's son, but unexpectedly... this child, this child...

  Gu's wife suddenly felt her legs go soft, and she was somewhat absent-minded. She didn't even know how she had sat down. After a long time, she came back to herself and still asked Pei Shitao uncertainly.

  "Shi Tao, is what your mom said true? How...how can that be good? Little sister...what should we do?" After getting confirmation from Pei Shi Tao, the aunt of the Gu family began to panic and looked at her younger sister-in-law and brother-in-law for help.

  "Sister, don't be in a hurry either. I haven't figured out how to solve this matter yet. According to what Shita said, Lin's daughter is stopping those people that Guquan knows from intervening, and she probably doesn't want to make a big deal out of it either. But what exactly does she mean? I still need to go there in person to apologize to them before I can understand clearly. You go back and educate Guquan properly, as well as Dad and Mom. This time we can't let them have their way. We must explain the severity of the consequences to them clearly, even if it means making the old man and woman angry. If Guquan continues to be so reckless, he'll ruin his life!"

  Calmly, Aunt Gu began to analyze the situation, guessing how Lin Peipei would react. At this point, her son was also at a loss for what to do, and going to apologize in person was the right thing to do. After comforting her sister-in-law and sending her out the door, they simply made a meal, and the family sat down to eat quietly, their minds preoccupied with the matter at hand. The food had no flavor, like chewing wax. After hastily finishing the meal and cleaning up, Aunt Gu went out the door to go to the Lin's house to apologize, but ended up missing them.

  This is Lin Peipei in the luxurious suite of Fengxuan Hotel, indulging in the abalone feast carefully prepared by Hei Lao Da. Who would have thought that Gu Aiyi, because she didn't see her, was like an ant on a hot pot for the whole night, turning around in the tens of square meters room, almost grinding out a circle of marks on the floor.
