The night slowly descended.
Mu Feng looked at the person before him, a spark of heat flashing in his eyes.
Su Nianxue, her cheeks flushed red, threw herself into Mu Feng’s embrace: "Brother Feng, do you know? I’ve waited for this day for a very, very long time."
"We were supposed to be together seven years ago, but fate was not kind."
"Now seven years have passed, and when I saw you again, do you know how I felt?"
"I feel like God played a colossal joke on me, plunging me into despair, only to grant me a new life. You have no idea how I’ve endured these seven years without you."
Listening to her words, Mu Feng gently held the person in his arms and kissed her forehead softly: "All of that is in the past now."
"From now on, with me by your side, I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
He could clearly feel her small hand holding him tighter and tighter.
Their eyes met, their gazes intertwining with deep affection.
Mu Feng slowly lowered his head, their lips meeting gently.
Su Nianxue felt as if she had been electrocuted, her body trembling slightly.
The night was as dark as ink.
As the moonlight slowly illuminated the window, Su Nianxue slept peacefully, a faint smile gracing her lips. Mu Feng gazed at her with deep affection.
At that moment, the phone on the bedside table rang softly.
He picked it up casually and, upon seeing the content, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes. He had intended to spend the entire night with Su Nianxue, but now he needed to go out.
Meanwhile, in a suburban area, Xiao Qi sat on a chair, a knife placed beside him.
Before him, besides Xu Da, was a hulking man.
The hulking man had at least thirty silver needles embedded in him. His muscles writhed continuously, and his face contorted as if he were a demon crawled from hell, his eyes filled with boundless resentment.
"If you have the guts, just kill me. No matter what methods you use on me, I won’t say a word of what I know."
"I’m telling you, even if you torture me to death, you won’t get anything out of me."
His gaze was filled with resolve, the red blood vessels in his eyes having spread to the entire whites of his eyes, making them appear entirely red from a distance.
Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Don't rush. I'm just giving you a little taste of pain. Someone will be here to see you soon."
"At that time, you’ll understand what it truly means to wish you were dead. The pain now is just a small appetizer; it’s nothing."
Hearing this, the hulking man’s expression contorted, and a flicker of fear appeared in his eyes. If this pain was merely an appetizer, he could hardly imagine what even greater suffering would be like.
Beside him, Xu Da had already wet his pants, his eyes filled with terror and dread. "I've already told you everything I know. Please, let me go!"
Xiao Qi said nothing. He suddenly stood up, his gaze losing its previous nonchalance and becoming respectful.
Sensing Xiao Qi's change, both of them turned their heads and looked towards the doorway.
Mu Feng walked in slowly.
Upon seeing Mu Feng, Xu Da's expression became agitated. "Mr. Mu, it was I who proactively called you, wanting to pass this information to you."
"I genuinely want to help you. Please, can you let me go?"
"This time, I absolutely won’t drag you down again. I will even help you expose those people. I know where they are hiding. As long as you give me a way out, I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation."
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. "We'll talk about your situation later."
"For now, you can rest."
Xu Da subconsciously blurted out, "I don't need to rest! I'm feeling very energetic right now. I know you must be..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Mu Feng flicked a silver needle, which directly pierced Xu Da's acupoint. Xu Da's eyes rolled back, and he slumped to the ground with a thud, still not fully comprehending what had happened.
The hulking man, looking at Mu Feng, was filled with intense fear.
"You… you are Mu Feng?"
"That's right. It seems you know me. You’ve probably seen some information about me. Now, I’ll ask you a few questions. If you confess honestly, I can give you a swift death."
Mu Feng glanced at the positions where the silver needles were inserted and then glared at Xiao Qi with annoyance. "I told you long ago to practice your acupuncture skills properly. Look at the techniques you’re using."
"These few needles are inserted in the wrong places; they shouldn’t be there at all."
As he spoke, Mu Feng made a casual gesture, and the silver needles, as if connected by invisible threads, all returned to his hand. With a casual flick, they scattered like a spray of flowers, re-inserting themselves into the hulking man’s acupoints.
The hulking man, who was about to speak, suddenly felt as if countless red-hot irons were drilling into his meridians. The pain was so intense it felt as if he were being thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil.
The agonizing pain made him cry out in agony, his eyes filled with extreme terror. He had thought the previous pain was the worst, but now he realized his understanding of pain was still too superficial.
His screams were piercing, as if tearing at eardrums.
Mu Feng furrowed his brow slightly, then flicked a wisp of spiritual energy from his hand, directly hitting the hulking man’s acupoint. The screams instantly ceased.
"Now you need to be quiet and slowly consider what I said. When you’ve made up your mind, I’ll give you a quick death."
"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you can imagine the consequences yourself."
After speaking, Mu Feng fell silent and turned his gaze to Xu Da. He walked over and retrieved a medicine tube from Xu Da’s person. The glass tube contained a blue liquid. Mu Feng shook it gently, a cold arc forming on his lips. "It seems he's just a tool being used."
"The poison in here is lethal upon contact with blood. Even those with great strength might not be able to withstand it, and this poison specifically targets internal energy."
"I’ve seen this kind of poison before."
Upon seeing the vial, Xiao Qi’s expression also changed, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
