Xu Da felt his heart was lodged in his throat, his mind stretched to its absolute limit.
Just then, he heard voices outside the trash can.
"That guy disappeared here, we can't let him get away. He overheard some of our words earlier. This guy deliberately joined us to gather our information. Now that he knows the news, he'll definitely leak it to Mu Feng immediately."
"After we catch that guy, even if we don't slice him into a thousand pieces, we'll at least skin him alive."
"This bastard got so scared of Mu Feng that he didn't dare to cause trouble for Mu Feng. He deliberately joined us just to stall for time. Scum like this must be killed as a warning to others."
Those words sounded nearby, and Xu Da felt his limbs trembling.
He was now praying for Mu Feng to hurry. He had finally escaped, but because he was caught by those people, he could only return to the city with them.
Mu Feng had left a deep psychological scar on him. He absolutely did not want to be Mu Feng's enemy again, nor did he want to be a puppet or cannon fodder in the hands of those people.
But he had no choice. If he didn't do as they said, he would have died long ago.
Now, he thought he could find a chance to inform Mu Feng, but his intentions were discovered.
He was constantly regretting, thinking that if he hadn't been so anxious, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Just then, the voices outside the trash can stopped. Xu Da pricked up his ears, listening carefully for the footsteps of those people, to see if they had left. Just as he was listening intently.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the trash can, as if something heavy had been smashed.
The sound startled him so much that he cried out.
He knew he was finished.
The trash can was overturned, and several faces appeared outside.
Those people had ferocious expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of mockery.
"Why aren't you hiding anymore? You must have heard everything just now, right?"
"I knew you were hiding in this trash can. I never imagined that the former CEO Xu would also hide in a trash can. Look at how you've degraded yourself. It's really hard to believe you were once a big boss worth over a billion."
"I like tormenting people like you the most. Torture me to death, and watching your screams will make me feel incredibly comfortable."
Xu Da's voice trembled with fear. "Please, let me go. I really don't want to get involved in your affairs."
"If I go to Mu Feng now, Mu Feng will flay me alive. Moreover, even if all of us combined, we are no match for Mu Feng."
"You haven't experienced Mu Feng's terror, you don't understand how ruthless he is."
"Please, give me a chance, and give yourselves a chance too."
"I really don't want to die!"
As he said this, Xu Da curled up in the trash can and sobbed.
In the eyes of those people, there was only Cao Peng's cold sneer.
"Don't act pitiful in front of us. We won't believe you, not even a single punctuation mark."
"We know Mu Feng's strength better than you. We're not asking you to fight Mu Feng directly. You're so weak, you probably can't even withstand one move from Mu Feng. We just want you to use cunning and schemes against Mu Feng from the side."
"Since we have our backing, what are you afraid of? Besides, no matter how strong Mu Feng is, he's not omnipotent."
"Moreover, you even tried to tip off Mu Feng before. I think you're truly seeking death."
"Since you don't want to be controlled by us, you only have one path to take."
As he said this, the man exerted force, grabbed Xu Da's hair fiercely, and dragged him out of the trash can.
Xu Da's pained screams echoed in the alley, but before his screams could travel far, one of them covered his mouth and dragged him out.
A van was parked at the entrance of the alley.
Xu Da knew very well that once he was dragged into the van, he would face a fate worse than death.
He struggled desperately, but it was useless. He had been working in an office, and his body was not healthy. He was no match for these seasoned fighters.
Just then, a laugh came from behind.
All eyes turned in that direction. When they saw the person standing at the alley entrance, they were slightly stunned.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle, or we'll kill you too."
"Get lost from here, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Those people spoke without paying any attention to Xiao Qi, who was standing there.
The smile on Xiao Qi's face became even more pronounced. "Perhaps I haven't introduced myself properly. Our young master wants to see him and kindly asks you all to come with me."
"Our young master is Mu Feng."
Upon hearing this, the pupils of those people contracted sharply. They never expected anyone to show up at this time, and it was Mu Feng's man.
Their gazes instinctively shifted to Xu Da beside them.
"You bastard, you actually managed to send word to Mu Feng. I think you're really looking for death!"
"Kill this scumbag first!"
They directly pulled out knives and were about to strike Xu Da.
Xu Da was terrified and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Help!"
Just then, Xiao Qi's voice sounded again.
"It seems you are very uncooperative. We originally intended to spare your dog lives, but now it seems unnecessary."
As the voice fell, in the blink of an eye, he was in front of those people.
Some of them hadn't even reacted when Xiao Qi's blade had already landed on their shoulders.
"Is this all the strength you have?"
"You've truly disappointed me. I thought anyone who dared to scheme behind our backs would at least be a martial artist, but you are too weak."
Xiao Qi retracted his blade, not a drop of blood staining it.
The arms of those people had already fallen off, and the daggers they were holding clattered to the ground.
Their faces were filled with extreme fear. They had never imagined that someone casually sent by Mu Feng could be so powerful. They couldn't even see the trajectory of Xiao Qi's movements.
