Outside the business premises.
After Lin Xiawei led Jiang Family's people away, Tang Huoyang stood in front of Pei Jinye, staring at him intently, as if he were seeing Pei Jinye for the first time.
Pei Jinye couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter?"
Tang Huoyang, with a complex expression, said, "I used to think these kinds of plots in novels were too pretentious, but experiencing it in real life is truly thrilling. However, Old Pei, you've been hiding your claws!"
Pei Jinye chuckled, "That's why reality is more fascinating than fiction, who would have thought such things could still happen in today's world."
"Indeed," Tang Huoyang sighed, "This time, if it wasn't for you, the Jiang family would have had me pegged. I had heard of such incidents happening at Jiang Family Business before, and thought I had some 'friendship' with Jiang Lingsu, but now it seems..."
He gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"They never took me seriously... It was all my own wishful thinking."
