Madam Du scrutinized Mu Feng's eyes. Noticing the lack of significant changes on his face, a flicker of unease settled in her heart.
"Mu Feng, I told you before, if you cure my son and let us go, this matter can be considered closed."
"But you didn't believe me at all, and instead escalated your efforts to kill me."
"Since the hatred between us has been born, it is indelible. Therefore, we must have a conclusion. Your actions have made me very angry. Although I wish I could flay you alive, I can spare your life in consideration of you treating my son."
"Once you cure my son, this matter will be settled."
A wider smile spread across Mu Feng's face as he stepped forward and flicked out a silver needle.
Du Chao, lying on the sickbed, trembled uncontrollably.
In just over a minute, he suddenly sat up.
His face showed immense surprise and joy: "My body doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Mom, I'm cured!"
"I'm really cured now. I was afraid of our family having such a powerful expert. Why didn't you tell me our family was so strong? Just having a relative like this is enough to scare Mu Feng so badly?"
Madam Du glared at Mu Feng through gritted teeth: "Unless absolutely necessary, I would never seek the family head's help."
"There are things you simply don't understand, and I don't wish to bring them up again. However, we won't let Mu Feng off so easily."
Du Chao also turned his head, his eyes blazing with fury: "That's right, we absolutely cannot let him off easily."
"He tortured me so horribly. I will definitely tear him to shreds!"
"If we let him live, who knows when he might suddenly strike against us? And we must capture that slut Du Jiaojiao."
"That slut Du Jiaojiao saw me in this state and not only ignored me but also made sarcastic remarks, saying I deserved it. Such a slut like her must be sent to a brothel."
"Then I'll let countless people have their way with her!"
Du Chao's expression grew increasingly ferocious.
He now felt he had the upper hand. Merely because a powerful expert from his family had arrived, Mu Feng had treated him without hesitation, which clearly indicated fear.
Since Mu Feng was afraid, it made things easier. He had prepared many ways to deal with Mu Feng, but he wasn't revealing them yet. In the end, it wouldn't just be tearing him to shreds; he would torture Mu Feng to death.
Although he didn't voice his thoughts, his eyes conveyed his intentions perfectly clearly.
Madam Du sneered: "Mu Feng, you can run now. It's still not too late for you to leave."
"It's best not to be caught by our family members, or even if I don't say anything, our family members will certainly not let you off easily. At that time, you might die a very miserable death."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile: "Just now you said that as long as I cured your son, all matters between us would be settled."
"This was your chance, but it seems you don't know how to cherish it."
"As soon as I cured Du Chao, you immediately went back on your word."
"Your face changes faster than a dog's flip-flop."
Madam Du was surprised that Mu Feng was still insulting her. Her expression contorted as she roared, "Mu Feng, are you trying to go down with the ship?"
"Don't forget, besides you, your life still has attachments."
"Aren't you afraid of implicating all those people? We won't just deal with you; we'll make them accompany you to the grave."
At this moment, Du Chao suddenly spoke: "Mom, since Su Nianxue and I have no blood relation, please make sure not to have anyone kill her."
"She is the most beautiful woman in our city. I want to..."
He didn't finish his words, but the greed and ferocity in his eyes were incredibly obvious.
Only the old housekeeper's face turned extremely grim.
A hint of helplessness appeared in his gaze. He said directly, "All of you, shut up!"
"Mu Feng, I apologize on their behalf. They merely wish to vent their suppressed anger and will not truly act on it. I guarantee here that once our family experts arrive, they will take them away, and our family experts will not act recklessly."
The old housekeeper took several deep breaths and shot a fierce glare at Madam Du and Du Chao beside her.
Only then did he continue: "Madam Du was expelled from the family because she had an affair with me and was discovered in public. Thus, the Zhang family, to protect their reputation, directly expelled her. Moreover, at that time, Du Weicai needed someone to help him compete for the position of family head."
"Madam Du then married him."
A flash of surprise crossed Mu Feng's eyes. He hadn't expected this old man to reveal such a shameful secret. He was a smart person, but unfortunately, he had encountered two fools.
Madam Du's expression was one of extreme anger: "Are you crazy?"
"How dare you bring this up again? After so many years, things have calmed down, and almost no one mentions it. You bring it up now, do you want us to become a laughingstock again?"
The old housekeeper took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart: "Don't forget, our family's experts haven't arrived yet."
"When you say those words, you are pushing step by step. You are the one truly seeking death."
Madam Du, who had been completely blinded by rage moments ago, finally came to her senses.
Her heart trembled violently, and her gaze involuntarily shifted to Mu Feng.
As a result, she saw a hint of playful mockery in his eyes.
Mu Feng said calmly: "What you said represents what you think in your hearts. Don't tell me it was just a misunderstanding, or simply to vent your anger."
"What you think has already been revealed. Do you think I will spare your lives?"
"Especially you mother and son, you truly have the same venomous hearts carved from the same mold."
"We have given you opportunities again and again, yet not only do you not cherish them, but you also want to retaliate even more fiercely."
"Has my forgiveness of you become a stepping stone for you to take an inch and a mile?"
As his voice fell, his imposing aura suddenly erupted.
That icy killing intent was like a surging tidal wave.
It instantly drowned everyone present, turning their faces as pale as paper.
