Chapter 637: Chapter 637

In a nightclub in Manchester, neon lights flickered, and countless men and women shook their heads to the pulse of the music.

Many of these people were high, and in every corner of the dance floor, a few henchmen could be seen engaging in sinful transactions.

Suddenly, a flood of police officers burst through the door, taking control of the entire nightclub.

This scenario had unfolded in all the nightclubs managed by Pei Lai.

At that moment, Pei Lai paced around his room; he had searched the entire city of Manchester but still hadn't found Yusi.

Suddenly, his strategist Qima rushed in.

"Boss, someone copied our transaction ledger a few days ago."

"What did you say?" Pei Lai's expression changed dramatically after he heard Qima's words. That ledger contained records of his drug transactions. If it fell into the hands of the police, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Who was it, did you find out?" Pei Lai exclaimed angrily.

Qima glanced at Pei Lai and stammered, "We checked the surveillance; Yusi was the only one who entered your room that day."

Pei Lai suddenly remembered, he and Yusi had drunk a lot that day and had soon fallen asleep.

"Damnit, haven't I said that no one is allowed in my room?" Pei Lai shouted angrily.

Qima, looking awful, said, "The bodyguard at that time said you had asked Miss Yusi to fetch something, so he let her in."

"Damnit, what did that woman want with the ledger?" Pei Lai pounded his fist on the table uneasily.

Just then, Pei Lai's phone suddenly rang.

In just half an hour, Pei Lai had received no less than twenty calls.

At that moment, Pei Lai turned pale. Nearly a hundred of his nightclubs had been raided by the police that night.

"It's over, it must have been that wretched woman Yusi who handed the ledger over to the police," Pei Lai realized.

Just then, one of his bodyguards stumbled in. "Boss, it's bad, our villa is surrounded by the police."

"What!" Upon hearing this news, Pei Lai collapsed onto the sofa.

Qima, looking dreadful, said, "Boss, you must run now. If the police catch you, it's over."

Pei Lai's legs had gone soft, and he rushed toward the study, supported by a few bodyguards.

Upon reaching the study, Pei Lai opened the bookshelf and took down a book from the very top.

Soon, the bookshelf slowly moved aside.

By that time, gunfire had already erupted outside; clearly, his bodyguards were exchanging fire with the military police.

Escorted by Qima and his bodyguards, Pei Lai hurried along the secret passage toward the outside.

This secret passage was left by Pei Lai's father, Old Pei Lai. Given that Pei Lai's family was involved in the underworld, Old Pei Lai had dug a secret tunnel in his study that led directly to the outskirts.

And now, this escape route had become Pei Lai's lifeline.

Pei Lai and his group walked along the winding mountain path for about an hour before they reached the end.

Pushing open the stone door, a beam of moonlight shone in.

Surrounded by lush green trees, Pei Lai took a deep breath.

"Yusi, you bitch, if I ever catch you, I will tear you to pieces," Pei Lai hissed as they had barely escaped the jungle when suddenly beams of spotlight lit up.

Pei Lai shielded his eyes from the lights with his hand and was stunned by the person standing before him.

Waiting outside the jungle for him was none other than his own father, Old Pei Lai, and his youngest brother, Pei Lai En.

Around the two of them, dozens of men in black holding heavy weapons looked fiercely threatening.

Seeing the situation, Pei Lai was instantly dumbfounded.

"Fight our way out," Pei Lai with a fierce look in his eyes, ordered the bodyguards behind him.

However, the bodyguards turned their guns on him.

With a smirk, one of them said, "Young Master Pei Lai, our entire Pei Lai family is nearly ruined because of you. Do you still have the face to give us orders?"

Seeing this scene, Pei Lai dropped to his knees, "Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been fooled. It was all Yusi, that bitch, who made me do it."

Looking at Pei Lai kneeling on the ground, Old Pei Lai's eyes showed a hint of icy coldness.

"Pei Lai, I once said that if you brothers were united, no one could touch our Pei Lai family, but you were deluded. Not only did you kill your second brother, but you even plotted against me and your youngest brother..."

As he spoke, Old Pei Lai's tears flowed freely. He had risen from a humble street thug to become the underground emperor of Man City. Neither his enemies in the underworld nor the police could defeat him, but he had never imagined that he would almost be brought down by his own son.

For him, it was an utter irony.

"Dad, I realize my mistakes, I won't dare anymore…" Hearing Old Pei Lai's words, Pei Lai's face turned deathly pale.

"You won't dare? You think just saying you won't dare is enough?" Old Pei Lai roared as he raised his handgun.

"No, Dad, please don't!" Pei Lai's face turned even paler upon seeing this.

Suddenly, his gaze turned to Pei Lai En: "Brother, please beg Dad, I now realize my mistake, I truly realize it, please ask him to spare me. All my assets, my territory, and my guys can all be yours."

Pei Lai En just stared coldly at Pei Lai, not saying a word.

If it weren't for Lin Chen, he and his father would already be dead, and now that he was about to take control of the entire Pei Lai family, why would he keep such a ticking time bomb by his side?

"Bang!" A gunshot sounded, and Pei Lai fell to the ground.

Watching Pei Lai's body on the ground, Old Pei Lai's body slightly trembled as he closed his eyes.

The turmoil within the Pei Lai family finally ended with the death of Pei Lai, and now Pei Lai En took control of the entire Pei Lai family.

Upon taking control, Pei Lai En's first order was that no drug business was allowed in any of the Pei Lai family enterprises.

Of course, some red-light district businesses continued, but incredibly, the public order in Man City changed overnight.

The instances of robbery decreased, and so did murder cases, making Qima almost a legend in the T country's police world.

When Qima took office, everyone doubted her, and many even predicted she would be killed within a month.

However, what no one expected was that not only did Qima survive, but she even turned Man City into a safe haven.

Of course, Qima knew that her achievements today were thanks to Lin Chen.

However, just as everything was progressing in a positive direction, Man City was suddenly struck by five horrifying murders.

The victims were all children, gruesomely bound upside down to beams in their houses.

Suddenly, families with children felt unsafe, and the name of a child killer brought terror throughout Man City.
