Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 150: If you can’t protect the people you care about, you just pack up your things and bury them

Ying Chen was the first to sit on the couch, lazily leaning back. "Let me introduce myself to everyone. My name is Ying Chen, the third son of the Ying family, twenty-eight years old, single. Like Lou Ting Si, I'm a weapons dealer, but we sell in different regions. That's it."

Everyone glanced at him indifferently, nodding as if they understood.

Pei Yuan went straight to the point. "I looked into the chainsaw murder case while I was on the plane."

He placed his phone on the table. "In Country F, there's a still-unsolved serial murder case. The murderer uses a chainsaw to dismember his victims, and all of them are young women aged between eighteen and twenty-five."

"This criminal has very strong counter-surveillance skills, and up until now, there hasn't been a single clue. The police have been searching for years, but there haven't been any new victims in the chainsaw dismemberment case. It might be because of advances in technology, and he's become more cautious. However, we can't rule out the possibility of him striking again."

Pei Yuan crossed his hands and placed them on the table, speaking slowly. "So, I have reason to suspect that the person who will kill Qiao Chuchu in the future is this man. If we find this killer, the problem of Qiao Chuchu being killed will be solved."

Pei Che rested his hands on the table, arrogantly scanning everyone present. "In Qiao Chuchu’s prophecy, she runs away with Xia Xuechun. Because Xia Xuechun pushes her down, she is caught and killed. Coincidentally, Xia Xuechun is currently in Country F, alone with the second son of the Long family. This means that the plot is in motion, trying to trap Qiao Chuchu."

Lou Ting Si furrowed his brows. "But wait, the second son of the Long family is married, right? His son is already five or six years old. Why would he take Xia Xuechun abroad? Doesn’t he know how to avoid suspicion?"

"An affair," Ying Chen lazily crossed his legs. "Haven't you seen such things before?"

Lou Ting Si fell silent, his expression darkening. "Disgusting."

Pei Yuan tapped the table to signal everyone to pay attention. "Now, we need to do two things. One is to find this killer, and the other is to protect Qiao Chuchu while making her happy, without putting any pressure on her."

Everyone fell silent, contemplating what to do.

Pei Bu Xian was the first to speak. "I can stay with her."

The others looked at him in surprise.

Pei Bu Xian proudly raised his chin. "I'm just a year older than Qiao Chuchu. We're the closest in age. She likes being with me, and I can make her strawberry cake."

He confidently offered, "I can make any dessert. Qiao Chuchu loves sweet things."

Pei Mu and Pei Ci immediately countered in unison, "Second brother also likes sweets. Why haven’t you fed him any?"

Pei Che: "?"

Pei Bu Xian: "?"

Pei Ci looked at them with disdain. "Besides, if you eat too many sweets, you’ll get tired of them. These days, young girls are into sugar-free diets. Qiao Chuchu won’t spare you."

Pei Bu Xian's eyes suddenly widened as he retorted sharply, "She wouldn't disrespect me! She loves the food I make! Pei Ci, shut up!!"

Pei Mu's eyes lit up, pointing at Pei Bu Xian and mocking him. "With your tendency to suddenly yell and go crazy, aren't you afraid you'll scare Little Sister Eight to death?"

Pei Bu Xian’s temples bulged, and he shouted, "I’m not angry!! I only get angry at you two!!! Because you two are annoying!!! But I wouldn’t get this mad at Qiao Chuchu!!!!"

Pei Ci arrogantly responded, "Someone as emotionally unstable as you definitely won’t be chosen here."

Pei Mu shrugged. "Yeah, not choosing you is simply because you’re not worthy. No personal bias."

Pei Bu Xian: "..."

Pei Ci grinned, leaning against Pei Mu in a shameless manner. "But we’re different, Pei Mu and I. We brothers are in sync. When we were little, we used to sleep together with Qiao Chuchu. We’d often play games together too."

Pei Mu smiled, his eyes narrowing with joy. "So, to help her recall childhood memories, the three of us will stay in a closed room with her, playing interesting games, making her laugh so hard she rolls on the floor. After we’re done playing, we’ll all sleep on the sofa together, entering a happy space with me and Pei Ci, forgetting about trivial matters."

Ying Chen squinted his eyes suspiciously and looked at Lou Ting Si. "Why do I feel like this is kind of perverted?"

Lou Ting Si sneered, his arms crossed. "Pass!"

Pei Bu Xian snorted. "Passed."

Pei Mu and Pei Ci frowned. "Why?! Don’t you guys have any taste?!"

Pei Youchuan glanced at them with disgust. "A closed space, two perverted twins, and an innocent girl. Who wouldn’t think about it in a bad way?"

Pei Mu and Pei Ci retorted, "Who are you calling perverted twins? We won’t do anything! You’re insulting our character!"

Pei Youchuan sneered. "What kind of character do you two have? As your brother, am I not clear enough?"

He tossed his hair back, revealing a sharp jawline, and proudly said, "I’m different. I can take Qiao Chuchu to the amusement park, ride roller coasters with her, go on the Ferris wheel, eat, watch fireworks. We’ll have fun for the whole day."

Pei Feng Nong glared at him in disgust. "This world is trying to destroy Qiao Chuchu, and you still want to take her on roller coasters? Do you want her to die faster, or die in a more miserable way?"

Pei Youchuan paused, frowning. "Then, Fourth Brother, what do you suggest we do?"

Pei Feng Nong hesitated, his head lowering a bit awkwardly. "Uh..."

His face turned red as he scratched the back of his head and said clumsily, "I’ll take her to the sea, drive with her along the coast, look at the beautiful scenery, and give her inspiration for painting."

The more Pei Feng Nong spoke, the more his eyes sparkled with a subtle glow. "She’ll be so happy. She’ll definitely... thank me for bringing her here."

His voice grew softer and softer, until Pei Youchuan, close to him, couldn’t catch it. "What are you saying at the end?"

Pei Feng Nong’s face flushed red as he pushed Pei Youchuan away. "What did I say?!"

Pei Youchuan stumbled back a few steps, staring at him in surprise. "What’s going on? I didn’t hear clearly. Why are you so nervous?"

Pei Feng Nong’s face turned crimson, and he glared at him. "What’s with all the questions?! Why are you so curious?!"

Pei Che couldn’t watch anymore, snapping, "Enough! Is it just the seven of us here? You guys can still argue in front of outsiders?!"

The younger brothers fell silent, turning their heads away from each other in dissatisfaction.

Pei Yuan stood up, coldly looking at his younger brothers. "Until we find the killer, we can go anywhere together. Why do we have to be alone? What’s so special about being alone together?"

The younger brothers froze, remaining silent.

Ying Chen, feeling like he was watching a TV drama, grinned. "Being alone together has too many benefits, right? I just like being alone with people. You can say private things, do small gestures, and all that."

Everyone: "???"

He grinned shamelessly. "Besides, why are you all so cautious? None of you are small fries. If Qiao Chuchu gets kidnapped right under our noses, then what’s the point of us being here?"

He poured himself a glass of wine, his voice dripping with meaning. "If you can’t even protect the ones you care about, then don’t bother living. Pack up and go bury yourself."
