Pei Rong knew that his father was bound to ask this question. He pursed his lips and nodded. “I think it’s probably true. As I mentioned, Deputy Chairman Qin is a very well-connected man. Why would he lie about this?”

When Pei Rong confirmed that Qin Zheng had the medication, Old Mr. Pei was thrilled. The moment he thought about Qin Zheng’s questionable integrity, he swiftly started to lose hope.

If the medication was in Qin Zheng’s hands, it might not be entirely good news.

Old Mr. Pei did not forget that the news about Min Yu’s condition had come from Pei Rong and his source was Deputy Chairman Qin.

After connecting the dots, he felt Deputy Chairman Qin might be plotting something.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Pei Rong with a solemn look on his face. “Give it to me straight. Are you involved with Qin Zheng? Did you collude with him?”

Pei Rong must have deliberately told Old Mr. Pei about Min Yu’s relapse before informing him that Deputy Chairman Qin had the medication. He wanted to use him to pa.s.s the message to Min Yu to get what they wanted.

Pei Rong did not expect his father to catch onto his plot so quickly, so he instantly looked uneasy. He quickly shook his head and denied his actions. “Nope. You’re overthinking it. How could anyone be capable of touching Young Master Min?”

“I might be old, but I’m not stupid, right?” Old Mr. Pei was disappointed.

Pei Rong had suddenly stopped him from going home without any reason, but it all made sense now. He was doing it to satisfy his own greed.

“I really didn’t do it.” Pei Rong automatically wanted to deny his actions, but when he saw the stern knowing look on his father’s face, he could not bring himself to go on.

Pei Rong veered his head and went quiet for a few seconds before he finally made an admission. “Yes, I did it. You forced me into this position!”

If Old Mr. Pei had agreed to help him get the ancient prescriptions from Huo Yao, he would never have had to do this.

Old Mr. Pei was stunned. He did not expect his son to blame it on him. He asked tremblingly. “Me? When did I force you to do this?”

“You knew Deputy Chairman Qin was determined to get his hands on Huo Yao’s prescriptions, but you refused to help and even warned her about it. What else could I do?” The more Pei Rong spoke, the more agitated he became.

When Old Mr. Pei heard his son blaming him, the blood vessels in his head were nearly going to explode. His mind went blank. If he was not sitting on the couch, he might have collapsed onto the ground by now.

After some time, his lips s.h.i.+vered and he said, “Does this mean the two of you did this so that you could get your hands on Huo Yao’s prescriptions?”

Then again, what else could Deputy Chairman Qin want from Huo Yao other than her prescriptions?

Min Yu and Huo Yao were close, so he was naturally the perfect target.

Pei Rong veered his head and did not dare to look at his father’s disappointed face. He said coolly, “Yes, we did. What’s the big deal anyway? It won’t kill her to give up the prescriptions, right?”

Was it really no big deal?

Old Mr. Pei inhaled deeply as he leaned into the seat backrest with teary eyes and looked at the ceiling sadly.

How could his son be capable of doing this? Did he have no ethics?

Old Mr. Pei squeezed his hands tightly as he looked at Pei Rong. He suppressed the pain in his chest and felt frail and powerless. “Can you listen to me this one time and just drop it?”

His voice sounded imploring as he made the statement.
