Chapter 315 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 43
Shen Chumo met Pei Yan's gaze without fear, and gently raised her chin.
"If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't have gone with you in the warehouse. But what is your purpose in suddenly appearing here?"
Shen Chumo's gaze was filled with coldness.
She didn't have a good impression of Pei Yan. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the fighting arena, Pei Yan was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals in her eyes.
The desperate looks and painful cries of those people imprisoned in the fighting arena made Shen Chumo feel disgusted with Pei Yan.
If it weren't for the current situation, she would never have been able to share a room with Pei Yan.
Pei Yan seemed to sense the coldness in Shen Chumo's gaze.
He chuckled softly, "It seems Miss Shen doesn't like me very much."
Shen Chumo crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "I almost died in the arena back then, so tell me, do you think I don't like you?"
Pei Yan clasped his hands together and shrugged. "Alright, that's understandable then. However, I'm a businessman, and what I did was completely legal and compliant from a business perspective."
As for the humans who come to the arena, they all voluntarily signed death waivers. They exchange their lives for money; isn't that fair?
Shen Chumo was furious when he heard this. Fair? How could he say that? These beastmen were so high and mighty, they had no idea about the difficult situation of humans.
She clenched her fists, her eyes burning with anger.
"Voluntary? Do you think those unarmed humans in this beast realm have a choice? You beastmen are high and mighty, controlling all resources. Humans are forced to sign those so-called life-or-death contracts just to survive and for their families to have food to eat."
That's just sophistry!
“Miss Shen, the rules of the Beast Realm have been in place for thousands of years, and it is not something I alone can easily change.”
I admit that the existence of arenas is cruel to humans, but in this dog-eat-dog world, it's also a way to survive.
Shen Chumo glared angrily, "A way of life? What a ridiculous excuse! Just because the rules were set by the beastmen, does that mean they can trample on human lives at will?"
You keep calling yourself a businessman, but your hands are stained with the blood of countless people, and your wealth is built on their suffering!
Pei Yan looked at the emotionally agitated Shen Chumo and avoided her gaze.
"I don't deny what you said, and I understand your dissatisfaction with me right now, but don't you want to find out who was the person who tried to arrest you?"
Shen Chumo sneered, "I want to know, but are you going to tell me directly? To be honest, I reasonably suspect that you're in cahoots with them."
They just started chasing me, and you showed up right after? What a coincidence!
Pei Yan sighed helplessly, then met Shen Chumo's gaze again, his eyes full of sincerity: "Miss Shen, I understand why you think that way, but I really have nothing to do with those people. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I save you?"
"Besides, since I promised Herren to let you go, I naturally won't lay a hand on you again. Otherwise, how can I explain it to Herren?"
Shen Chumo frowned slightly; what Pei Yan said did indeed make sense.
"Who sent them?"
“The He family,” Pei Yan uttered softly.
"The He family?"
Shen Chumo's eyes flashed. "Are you sure? I'm just a human, and one of Herren's people. Why would the Herren family target me?"
Pei Yan spread his hands, "You're right. If you were an ordinary human, you wouldn't be worth the He family's help. But He Lun has done some irrational things for you time and time again. Do you think they would tolerate your existence?"
Also, just a heads up: Herren's housekeeper, Wang Ma, returned to the old house two days ago. As far as I know, she's a hardliner among the older generation of the Herren family, always advocating for the preservation of the Herren family's pure bloodline, and has never had any good feelings towards humans.
She must have stirred up trouble within the family and spoken ill of you since she returned.
Shen Chumo's heart sank. Wang Ma was indeed very dissatisfied with her. It turned out that she had gone back to the old house to complain these past two days.
How do you know so much about the He family's affairs?
"Let me be frank with you. The reason I came to see you today was actually because of Herren. He hopes I can take care of you for a few days. He needs to deal with some family matters and can't look after you, so he's entrusting you to me."
Shen Chumo frowned, unsure whether to believe Pei Yan's words.
"Don't believe me?" Pei Yan looked at Shen Chumo with a half-smile. "You can try to contact him using a personal terminal, but he's currently busy and his communication methods may be restricted, so he probably won't be able to reply to your message."
Shen Chumo knew this because she had already sent a message to He Lun when she met Pei Yan, but he hadn't replied yet.
It's impossible that Herren is deliberately ignoring her messages. Perhaps what Pei Yan said is true; he is indeed trapped by the He family now.
She wasn't worried about Herren, but if Herren were really restricted by his family, then she would be in big trouble.
Shen Chumo looked up at Pei Yan, her heart skipping a beat.
“You are Herren’s friend, so of course I trust you. Once Herren contacts me, I will have him thank you properly.”
Pei Yan chuckled lightly.
"Alright, now that we've reached a consensus, let's go."
Shen Chumo stopped Pei Yan, "Wait, I need to go somewhere else."
Shen Chumo got into Pei Yan's car and went to retrieve the things she had bought in the dark market.
While getting the items, Shen Chumo deliberately played a trick.
She left Pei Yan in the car, got out alone, found the items, put them into her spatial storage, and then took out a dress from the storage, claiming that it was something she had bought in the virtual world.
Pei Yan glanced at the skirt but didn't say anything. After Shen Chumo got into the car, Pei Yan started the car and drove towards his residence.
Pei Yan led Shen Chumo to a villa area. The environment here was quiet and secluded, with lush green trees and each villa surrounded by a meticulously maintained garden, exuding tranquility and luxury.
Pei Yan slowly and smoothly parked the car in front of one of the villas. He got out of the car with graceful movements, then turned and walked to the other side, gentlemanly opened the car door for Shen Chumo, and carefully helped her out of the car.
The two then walked together toward the villa.
The villa was brightly lit, and the interior decoration was simple yet stylish. The spacious living room was furnished with soft sofas, and several paintings hung on the walls.
As soon as I stepped inside, four beast servants in uniforms greeted me in unison, "Welcome home, Master."
Pei Yan nodded slightly, then turned to Shen Chumo and introduced, "The beast servants here are all very reliable; they will take good care of your daily life."
"From now on, you can just stay here and relax."
Shen Chumo looked around, remaining outwardly calm, but secretly pondering in her heart.
