Jiang Yuzhu was unmoved and walked directly inside.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhu's determination, the people in black knew that she could not be stopped easily.

They looked at each other and couldn't take drastic action. They could only choose to follow her silently, keeping a certain distance to ensure her safety.

Jiang Yuzhu's steps were firm, and she quickly walked through the dim corridor, followed closely by the people in black.

Their footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot, adding to the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Yuzhu hurried through the dim parking lot, and the man in black followed her silently.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the front, breaking the dull atmosphere. The sound was sharp and urgent, making people shudder.

Hearing the scream, Jiang Yuzhu's pace suddenly stopped, her heartbeat accelerated, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

The men in black immediately became alert, and they quickly gathered around to try to protect Jiang Yuzhu.

"Ms. Jiang, please go back, it may be dangerous here." A man in black whispered, nervousness in his tone.

Although Jiang Yuzhu was frightened, her expression remained firm: "It's such a big movement, but you won't let me see it."

There was unquestionable determination in her eyes, and she ignored the dissuasion of the man in black and continued to take a few steps forward. Her eyes were fixed on the front, trying to find the source of the sound.

When she finally came to the source of the sound, a shocking scene appeared in front of her.

The obese man, who was in the room before, was now beaten into a state of disgrace, curled up on the ground, covered in blood.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes widened instantly, his face turned pale, and his shock and fear were clearly evident.

Looking at the tragic scene, she felt a strong discomfort and couldn't believe it was true.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Jiang Yuzhu's heart, but she quickly turned around and left the place almost as if she was running away.

Her heartbeat quickened, and the nausea and uneasiness in her chest surged like huge waves.

In the tense atmosphere in the parking lot, Jiang Yuzhu's rapid footsteps quickly disappeared into the dim corridor.

The people in black stood there, looking at each other with confusion on their faces.

At this moment, Pei Jingchuan's assistant hurried over. His steps were fast and his brows were furrowed. He obviously felt the tense atmosphere.

"What happened?" the assistant's voice was urgent, and his eyes scanned among the men in black.

One of the men in black replied: "Miss Jiang just broke in. After she saw that... situation, she ran away."

The assistant's expression suddenly became serious, and he quickly hurried in the direction of Pei Jingchuan.

Pei Jingchuan was discussing something with several staff members in a secluded corner. His expression was cold and focused.

The assistant quickly walked to Pei Jingchuan and reported Jiang Yuzhu's actions to him in a low voice.

Seeing the assistant rushing over, Pei Jingchuan's voice was calm: "What's the matter?"

The assistant reported: "Mr. Pei, Miss Jiang just came to the basement and saw the man being... treated."

Pei Jingchuan's voice revealed a hint of displeasure: "Why did she come here? What's the situation?"

The assistant replied: "I guess he was frightened and ran away."

Pei Jingchuan's voice was filled with worry: "Okay, I understand, I'll deal with it right away." He stood there with a deep gaze, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

Pei Jingchuan stood in a secluded corner of the basement, his figure looking particularly grim in the dim light.

After hearing the assistant's report, his brows furrowed, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

The assistant handed Pei Jingchuan a white towel. Pei Jingchuan took it and silently wiped the blood on his hands.

After finishing, Pei Jingchuan handed the towel back to the assistant, his eyes becoming firm again.

Pei Jingchuan calmly gave the last few instructions to his assistant: "Take care of the scene."

The assistant nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing respect and trust for Pei Jingchuan. He quickly left to carry out Pei Jingchuan's order.

Pei Jingchuan turned around, his steps steady and quick. He frowned slightly, obviously worried about the scene Jiang Yuzhu saw.

He walked through the dim corridor and quickly headed towards the elevator.

Although Pei Jingchuan's expression still maintained his usual coldness and calmness, it was not difficult to see his concern for Jiang Yuzhu in his eyes.

Along the way, his thoughts seemed to drift into the distance, and complex expressions flashed across his face from time to time.

Pei Jingchuan came to the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator door slowly opened and he quickly walked in.

At this time, Jiang Yuzhu quickly ran out of the basement and walked along the corridor of the hotel to the outskirts of the banquet.

Her breathing was rapid, and her face was filled with fear and anxiety.

The scene she had just witnessed still lingered in her mind. The tragic scene of the obese man being beaten beyond recognition was shocking and made her feel deeply scared.

Her footsteps seemed to be driven by fear, and she ran all the way to the open area outside the hotel.

She stopped and took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to calm down her emotions.

The night wind blew gently, and Jiang Yuzhu's long hair fluttered in the wind. She hugged herself tightly, as if this could give her a sense of security.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her, breaking the silence of the night. "Yuzhu."

Jiang Yuzhu turned around suddenly, and in front of him was Pei Jingchuan's stern face. A stronger fear instantly surged in her heart, thinking that Pei Jingchuan was here to settle a score with her.

Her voice was trembling and uncertain: "Jingchuan, you...are you here to settle a score with me?"

A hint of softness flashed in Pei Jingchuan's eyes, and he slowly walked towards Jiang Yuzhu.

Pei Jingchuan's voice was still calm, but with a hint of comfort: "Yuzhu, I'm just worried about you."

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were full of doubts and uneasiness. Her body took a step back involuntarily, and her eyes were full of vigilance: "You...you just..."

Pei Jingchuan stopped and kept a certain distance. His voice became gentler: "I know you saw a scene you shouldn't see. That man's behavior is unforgivable and I must take measures. But I won't do anything to you. Well, you are from our Pei family."

Jiang Yuzhu's body relaxed slightly, but her eyes still held deep doubts and fear.

Her voice was still trembling: "I... I just want to know what happened. I didn't expect to see such a scene..."

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly, but his face still did not express much emotion: "I understand that this is too shocking for you. But there are some things we must do. Not everything can be resolved peacefully."

Pei Jingchuan looked at Jiang Yuzhu's frightened look, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, as if he was amused by her reaction.

He said softly: "Yuzhu, you must be scared. Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you should be obedient and don't act impulsively."

When Jiang Yuzhu heard what Pei Jingchuan said, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

She lowered her head slightly and said in a shy voice: "Okay, Jingchuan, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future."
