e on the older guy kneeling on the floor.
He could see that the latter’s face was full of hesitation and suspicion.

It did not matter.
He knew that this guy would speak sooner or later.
He was the weakest link to the secret surrounding the matter.

“Sir, my niece, I’m begging you two; don’t disturb my family anymore.”

As he was in prison now, the people of his family were no longer the same ones.
The only thing he could do now was not disturb them.

“Fine.
That works, too.
Tell me first the truth.
Who was behind my father-in-law’s death?”

Ji Ziming squatted.
His eyes were akin to knives as he looked at the older guy.
He seemed capable of killing the latter.

“Uncle, I will call you this another time.
You told me before that it was a person called Yang Hua.
Has he really not looked for you after what happened?”

Pei Zhenghui’s face turned dark and gloomy upon hearing her mention that person.

“N-No.”

His stutter made Ji Ziming sense an anomaly.

“Say it again!”

He tightly clutched the older man’s collar.
The sudden action caused the latter to lose his breath as he panted.
“I… I’ll speak—I’ll tell you guys.”

He released him, causing the latter to fall to the ground with a thump.
The older man’s head hit the ground hard and even started bleeding.
He looked so beaten-down it was as though he were a lamb for slaughter.

“Indeed, you knew.”

Pei Ge’s heart ached as her eyes moistened.
“You were lying the last time I came.
You knew everything, yet you still pretended as though you didn’t know.
You made me feel so bitter.
How did my father end up with a brother like you? Someone who keeps protecting the murderer for the sake of saving himself!”

“What could I do? You came looking for me so aggressively and threateningly back then; of course, I needed to keep a road of retreat for myself, or else I wouldn’t have been able to survive for this long in the prison.
If I had told you everything then, that guy would have long sent someone to kill me.”

Pei Zhenghui felt helpless.
At this point, he truly had nothing left—not even this last secret.

“Let me warn you: I can kill you if you dare play any tricks again!”

Ji Ziming’s gaze flashed with cruelty and hostility.
When he used brute force just then, Pei Ge could almost not believe that this was the same man who had been so loving with her last night.

“How would I dare to play any tricks? I am now in prison and can’t even get out.
Not to mention passing any info, it’s even impossible for me to meet with Yang Hua.”

The older guy lightly snorted.
He was a soon-to-be dead man.
If not for this young chap’s threats, he would not show his hand no matter what.

“Didn’t you say that someone gave Pei Ge a strange call, and it did not show an area code?”

The blood on his head slowly trickled down.
His wound was tainted with dust and a few drops of rice from lunch on the floor.
His prison uniform was dirty.
It was clear that his life here had not been comfortable.
He was so haggard he looked like a stray dog.

“Yes.”

The more he spoke, the more Ji Ziming felt that this matter was related to him, or he knew who the person was.
However, for the sake of protecting himself, he was unwilling to say it.
