After a tragic death and rebirth, the iceberg president turned crazy

Chapter 281 Pei Yan, can you give me some time? I'm scared...

When Lin Man heard Pei Yan's words, she knew that he was determined not to let her go this time, and she couldn't help but ask in panic, "Where's He Sheng?"

Lin Man's heart trembled, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. Why was it Liu Lin who brought the divorce agreement? Why did Pei Yan appear here but He Sheng was nowhere to be seen? "What did you do to him?"

"You care about him so much? Are you afraid of getting him into trouble, or do you have other purposes? It's a pity that He Sheng doesn't understand this. He doesn't know that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

Pei Yan's cold fingers gently brushed Lin Man's cheek, "He doesn't know either. Even if he didn't help you call Ji Ze, you wouldn't betray him. What a pity..."

Lin Man's heart ached, and she looked at Pei Yan in disbelief with red eyes and shook her head, "I forced him to do it, don't touch him..."

Lin Man couldn't believe that she had implicated He Sheng, but she didn't want to implicate anyone.

Pei Yan lowered his eyes, his dark gaze lingering on Lin Man's fair body for a moment, his hands not stopping, "Do you still have time to worry about others?"

"You should worry about yourself."

"Don't be like this... Can you give me some more time? I don't want a divorce. Please give me some time. I am not mentally prepared. I am afraid..."

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan with a compromising and pleading look.

Pei Yan lowered his eyes to look at Lin Man, then quickly looked away. He stretched out his hand to pull off his tie and tied it around Lin Man's eyes. "Lin Man, I don't want to look into your eyes again. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself the next moment. It's these eyes that have deceived me time and time again."

Lin Man trembled, "I didn't lie to you. I really broke up with Ji Ze. I promised you that I would never forget it. I keep my word. Why don't you believe me?"

"Pei Yan, you really never believed me."

Lin Man's choking tone made Pei Yan pause.

He exhaled slowly, "Lin Man, I want to believe you, but what you did disappointed me so much. Where were you when I called you three days ago? Where were you going with your luggage during the ten minutes you came to Changxun Street? Who were the two overseas tickets that Ji Ze bought on the same day for?"

"I helped you save Ji Ze, and you agreed to break up with Ji Ze. We should have settled the contract, but now you have breached the contract, and I am not going to let you, a little liar, go. I want to take back the penalty that belongs to me personally, do you understand?"

Pei Yan turned Lin Man over.

Lin Man shook her head in panic and said, "I didn't!"

At this point, Lin Man finally understood Pei Yan's abnormality. "Go check it out! I didn't plan to go with Ji Ze. I bought another flight ticket. The reason I said that was just to promise Ji Ze and then disappear. I did this to make him give up. I remember the promise I made to you!"

Lin Man finished speaking in one breath, and Pei Yan suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Lin Man, who was able to catch her breath, breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and looked at Pei Yan, then curled up in the blanket on the sofa.

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man with dark and deep eyes. He stopped what he was doing and lit a cigarette, as if he was thinking about something. The smoke and unclear expression made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Really, if you believe me, you can send someone to check it out right now."

"What if you can't find it?"

"If you can't find anything, come back and deal with me."

Lin Man gritted her teeth and said the embarrassing and shy words.

Suddenly, a bell rang in the quiet living room.

Pei Yan's phone kept vibrating on the coffee table. Lin Man reached out and pushed him. "It's your call."

Pei Yan turned to look at Lin Man. The phone on the table rang twice, hung up, and rang again.

Generally speaking, if Pei Yan's phone rings so many times, there must be something important.

Pei Yan also realized this. He frowned slightly and stood up to answer the phone.

"A Yan! My brother's funding chain has been cut off, and now everyone is asking me for money. My scenes in the crew have been deleted again and again, and several endorsements have been snatched away. The rival company has been exposing negative news about me. If this continues, I will have to pay the penalty!"

"Ayan, please help me, I have finally come this far, I really can't lose it all, I don't want to be like Vivian, I beg you, Ayan, please help me for the sake of my sister!"

Gan Tian's voice was choked with sobs, and Lin Man's brows twitched as she listened. Gan Tian's acting skills were not very good, and she often forgot her lines during scenes. The several dramas she had filmed before had invested hundreds of millions of dollars but were still tepid, until Jiang Xuzhi showed up and was willing to spend a large sum of money to let Gan Tian join the crew, and then he barely promoted her to a second-tier position.

Now that Pei Yan has taken action, Jiang Xuzhi's assets in China have been affected, so those crews don't want Gan Tian to play the leading female role as they haven't received the money. It is obvious that they want to work together to push her out of the crew and promote their own artists. This is a very common operation in the entertainment industry, but Lin Man can't understand why Gan Tian has become like this?

What about Jiang Xuzhi? Did he not care about Gan Tian anymore?

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan and saw the indifference in his eyes. He put his phone on the counter, tied his loosened collar with both hands, and looked slightly impatient. "I told you very clearly last time. I will not interfere in your affairs anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yan fastened his collar button again, picked up his phone and walked towards Lin Man. Lin Man's heart stagnated, and she took a few steps back and sat on the sofa, looking at Pei Yan vigilantly, "What are you going to do?"

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man with dark eyes. He bent down and let Lin Man curl up between his body and the sofa. His hot breath sprayed on Lin Man's face. Pei Yan stretched out his long arms, took back the coat on the sofa, and touched the back of Lin Man's head with his big hand.

"Wash yourself and wait for me." He said, then left with his coat.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Man followed Pei Yan, but was stopped by security when leaving the gate.

"Ma'am, you can't leave."

"What if I have to leave?"

Lin Man glared at the person in front of him, but he kept his head down and repeated mechanically, "Madam, you can't leave."

When Lin Man heard the voice of the security guard, she felt like a fire was boiling in her heart. "Why? What right do you have to lock me up here?"

Liu Lin came over, lowered her head and said, "Madam, please go back. It's too windy here."

"Don't call me Madam!" Lin Man shook off Liu Lin's hand.

But when he saw the fingerprints on her face, he suddenly came to his senses and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry...does your face hurt?"

"Let me help you apply some medicine." Lin Man reached for the medicine box on the table, but Pei Yan had already used up all the medicine.

She stood up and walked to the security guard who had just stopped her, handed him the empty medicine bottle, and said, "Buy an identical one."

The security guard was a little hesitant. Lin Man said, "Why, isn't it that Madam sounds nice? Now you're not happy to go buy a bottle of medicine?"

The security guard's forehead jumped, he took the medicine bottle from Lin Man without saying a word, and ran out quickly. Before leaving, he ordered more people to be sent. Looking at their cautious look, Lin Man was a little speechless. They had already defended the place like a fortress, could she still turn into a butterfly and fly away?

"Hiss..." Liu Lin took a breath.

Lin Man paused while holding the tweezers. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Liu Lin shook her head.

Lin Man continued what he was doing, feeling a little annoyed, "I was too extreme."

She calmed down and looked at the fingerprints on Liu Lin's right cheek. She felt annoyed. How could she hit someone? The culprit was Pei Yan. She should have slapped Pei Yan hard in the face!

Liu Lin thought that Lin Man had figured it out, and she was delighted. "It's good that you figured it out. Actually... Mr. Pei is not as ruthless as you think. I have followed him for seven years. He is patient and aloof. He seems easy to approach, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to his heart. I can see that Mr. Pei cares about you very much. Why do you..."

"Why can't you accept it?"

Lin Man was a little amused. Was Liu Lin talking about Pei Yan? She had known Pei Yan for many years, so how could she not know that he was like this?

"Yes."

Lin Man threw the cotton swab into the trash can, "How do you know I haven't taken it?"

Liu Lin chuckled, "You've accepted it, how could you bear to divorce someone like him?"

"What kind of person?" Lin Man was a little amused.

“The moon in the sky is beyond reach.”

Hearing the expectation in Liu Lin's voice, Lin Man chuckled, "In my opinion, he is just a man, he has desires and ambitions, he likes beautiful women and he also likes simple women, you think too highly of him."

"No! Mr. Pei is different from other rich second-generations in Hai City. He holds a high position, but he has worked hard to get there. He has real talent and is good at using people. He will give each of us equal opportunities."

"He understands all the projects that we can't do, and he can get people that we can't get. Many people come and go around him, but I know he is lonely inside. Few people can get into his heart, but once they get in, it's for a lifetime. President Pei is not fickle, he is different from others."

Listening to Liu Lin's words, Lin Man's mind moved slightly, knowing that it was time to close the net, "Do you like him?"

Liu Lin blushed, "I'm not worthy of Mr. Pei. I'm not pretty, and I'm not well educated."

Lin Man heard the inferiority in Liu Lin's tone, and did not stop moving her hands. "If you like him, go ahead and give it a try. Don't leave yourself with regrets. He will probably be back tonight. I'll help you put on makeup. You put on my clothes and lie on the bed. I'll help you."

"Madam..." Liu Lin said in a panicked tone.

Lin Man didn't even raise her head, and continued to wind the needle and thread in the medicine box. "Don't be afraid. There is no need for knowledge to communicate between men and women. As for appearance, they are the same when the lights are turned off. He is a man, and no one can escape."

In the evening, Lin Man heard the sound of an engine in the manor and put away the things in his hands.

The black Maybach headlights were particularly eye-catching in the quiet manor. Lin Man wandered around for two days but still had no idea where this place was. She only knew that there were roses all over the mountains.

The driver opened the door for Pei Yan. Pei Yan got out of the car and tugged at his tie. He looked at the driver who had not left yet and asked, "Anything else?"

His voice was low, and his dark and quiet eyes made people feel that nothing could escape his sight.

The driver lowered his head and respectfully took out two documents. "These are the documents handed over by He Sheng. They contain Longteng International's tax certificate for the new quarter, as well as evidence of illegal bidding, bribery and other improper operations. We originally planned to break into Longteng International in one fell swoop, but... at present, these two pieces of evidence also involve Miss Gan, so we dare not make a decision on our own."

Pei Yan's dark eyes swept over the document in the man's hand. He was silent for a moment and turned the watch on his wrist. "Is Jiang Xuzhi gone?"

"Yes, his security team arranged a private plane for him to leave China yesterday. It seems that he probably knew that he had no chance of winning a fight with you in China, so he returned to Italy early to preserve his last assets in Italy."

Pei Yan sneered, "He's dreaming."

Pei Yan took off his coat and walked into the house. The servant took Pei Yan's coat and hung it neatly in the closet. He tugged at his tie and walked into the woman's room. The large room was clean and tidy, with only a rose plant placed at the head of the bed. Seeing this, the servant explained, "Madam said she doesn't like those luxurious things, so she asked us to take them all away."

Pei Yan nodded, "Where's the Madam?"

The servant's eyes moved. "When we were moving things in the master bedroom today, Madam went to the guest room next door to rest. Now... she should be asleep."

Pei Yan didn't say anything. He reached out and pushed open the door of the guest room. The room was dimly lit and only the bulging figure on the bed could be seen through the moonlight.

"Has the lady had her dinner yet?"

"Not yet. Madam doesn't have a very good appetite today. She asked us to remove the photos of you in the living room. She said... she can't eat when she sees you."

The servant stammered and lowered his head again and again.

Pei Yan was so angry that he laughed. He reached out to pull the quilt, and a voice rang out, "Sir!"

Pei Yan stopped and frowned, "I can hear you."

Liu Lin glanced at the bed and lowered her head. Pei Yan looked at her impatiently and stood up. "What's the matter? Go out and talk."

"Sir, I'm so sorry. Xiaojie remembered it wrongly. Madam is not in this room. Please follow me to the third floor."

Pei Yan's eyes were dark. The person on the bed suddenly sat up, looking at the scene in the room and holding the quilt in front of him, at a loss, "I... Sister Liu, did I oversleep?"

-

When Lin Man's door was pushed open, she was wiping the crown that Ji Ze had given her.

When Lin Man met Pei Yan's dark and cold gaze, her heart stagnated and she subconsciously hid the crown behind her. "What's wrong?"

Lin Man pinched her fingers to calm herself down. In fact, the moment she saw Liu Lin appear next to Pei Yan, she was basically certain that the matter was exposed, but she didn't know whether Liu Lin had betrayed her.

"Sir, the lady didn't mean anything else, she just wasn't feeling well today."

Liu Lin's words chilled Lin Man's heart. Pei Yan slowly turned the watch on his wrist, his eyes becoming increasingly angry, as if it was a sign of a storm. His eyes were grim, and his deep voice suppressed his anger, "Get out."

"Yes." Liu Lin led his men to retreat.

The next moment, the building blocks in front of Lin Man instantly scattered all over the ground. Before she could even scream, her wrist was already tightly grasped by Pei Yan!

His expression was stern. Ever since Pei Yan had intended to make peace with Lin Man, he had rarely been angry with her. But at this moment, his face was completely gloomy.
