Mu Feng smiled and shook his head, "Forget it. If I let such a delicate young girl wash my socks, and my wife finds out, she might say I'm bullying you."
"Hmph!"
Du Jiaojiao turned her head and frowned, her small nose wrinkling, "If it weren't for you helping me so much, I wouldn't be helping you."
"Something others would beg for, and you're still looking down on it."
The two walked into the hospital, chatting and laughing.
As they approached the intensive care unit, Du Jiaojiao's emotions became visibly anxious.
"Why don't you stay here? I'll handle things inside, at least to stop your mother from being sad and distressed."
Du Jiaojiao was already somewhat hesitant, but when she saw Mu Feng's gentle gaze, her heart felt as if it had been given a shot of confidence, and her eyes lit up.
"I can do it!"
"With you by my side, there's nothing I'm afraid of."
"You give me infinite strength and courage."
Mu Feng smiled and rubbed her jet-black hair. He could feel the deep bond between them, and even see the boundless tenderness in her eyes.
Even if he were to do something excessive right now, he believed Du Jiaojiao would offer no resistance and would even cooperate obediently.
But he couldn't do that.
This girl probably couldn't even distinguish between gratitude and love.
He knocked on the door of the intensive care unit. There were no nurses here anymore; they were all private doctors hired by him personally. After all, the nurses here were far less meticulous than the doctors and caregivers he had hired with significant funds.
The door was pushed open, and a man in a white coat and mask emerged. He glanced at Mu Feng.
Then, he turned his attention to Du Jiaojiao beside him.
Mu Feng's brow furrowed slightly, "There's a smell of blood inside. Did something happen to Du Chao?"
The doctor slowly shook his head, "You should go in and see for yourselves."
With that, he turned and started to leave.
As soon as he took a step, his collar was grabbed by Mu Feng.
"Even if you want to leave, at least wait until I've dealt with things here before chatting slowly. Are you in too much of a hurry to leave now?"
The doctor's pupils constricted, and he feigned anger, "I am a doctor at the hospital, not your private caregiver. Let me go immediately. It's the end of my shift. I was only here today to check on the patient's condition."
Mu Feng sneered, "A simple check, and you managed to check him to death?"
Hearing this, Du Jiaojiao's face turned ashen, and she rushed inside.
Her scream followed from within.
Her terrified voice trembled.
A cold glint flashed in Mu Feng's eyes. He struck the doctor's neck with a palm chop.
Before the doctor could even react, he collapsed, unconscious on the spot.
Mu Feng picked him up and walked into the intensive care unit. Seeing the situation inside, he sighed inwardly and dropped the doctor onto the ground.
He walked over and gently embraced Du Jiaojiao.
"You should consider yourself fortunate that your mother wasn't inside. The only one who had an accident was Du Weicai."
"No one else was here except him. Perhaps this was a trap set in advance."
"When your mother called you, she was crying sorrowfully. Did you notice anything unusual in her voice? Judging by the traces at the scene, someone clearly targeted you intentionally. It's possible they want to lure you here through this incident. Perhaps they will call you directly before long."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of hope appeared in Du Jiaojiao's eyes.
"Brother Feng, are you saying someone wants to threaten me with my mother?"
Mu Feng nodded, "Not just your mother, but also Du Chao."
"What Du Weicai said earlier was already an offense to all decent people. Although I don't know why he appeared here, there must be an invisible hand manipulating all of this behind the scenes, and they are primarily targeting you."
"Now, you can check if Ye Linfeng is still alive."
"See if he's still in the hospital, or if he's been rescued."
"The person who targeted you before was Ye Lingfeng, but there are still others directing him from behind the scenes. However, I haven't obtained any clues as to who this person is, and Ye Lingfeng himself is unaware."
He hadn't intended to tell this girl these things.
But now that this had happened, if he didn't tell her, Du Jiaojiao would only worry more.
Du Jiaojiao immediately took out her phone and started searching. Soon, she received a clear answer.
Although Ye Lingfeng had come to the hospital, he was quickly picked up. He entered the hospital like a vegetative state, but when he left, he could walk on his own. However, it seemed there were some issues, as he walked stiffly.
A cold glint flashed in Mu Feng's eyes.
Even if it didn't affect him, he knew someone must have interfered, and the person who acted was exceptionally skilled.
It could even be said that their skills in ancient medicine were not much inferior to his own; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to resolve the issue he had left on Ye Lingfeng.
"Girl, you don't need to worry about this matter. Leave it to me to investigate."
"If I get any news, I'll call you immediately. If anyone threatens you here or asks you to go somewhere, don't fall for it. From now on, go and stay at your cousin's villa. Don't act rashly. This is a critical time. If anything goes wrong, it will be difficult for me to protect everyone."
Du Jiaojiao nodded, "Brother Feng, I'll wait for your news."
"If anything comes up, I'll definitely call you immediately."
Mu Feng waved his hand, and immediately several men in black quickly entered.
"You all escort Jiaojiao back to the villa immediately. Tell Huo Feng to be careful during this period."
He suspected this matter might be related to the Alliance.
Those people would resort to any means to achieve their goals; one could see that from Li Daoren.
It was also possible that those people had made preparations on both sides.
After seeing Du Jiaojiao into the car, the slight smile on his face completely vanished. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He turned his gaze towards Xiao Qi, who was walking over from the corner.
"Did you discover anything?"
Xiao Qi immediately reported, "The person who took Du Chao away was very powerful. My people were waiting here before but found no issues. They didn't even notice any traces, yet the person was already rescued."
"However, they did leave something behind."
