Su Zhengqiang shivered uncontrollably. His gaze towards Mu Feng was filled with dread as he stammered, "I didn't cause you any trouble that day. He intentionally wanted to kidnap me."
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I've always stayed far away from you all."
"You must have seen my behavior during this time. I've been saving the money you gave me and have no intention of causing you trouble. I know I'm not a good person, but I truly haven't caused you any inconvenience."
"I beg you, for Nianxue's sake, can you let me off the hook?"
He was truly terrified that Mu Feng, as he had just said, would kill him and frame Su Mingzhe. Such a thing was not impossible. He had long harbored a psychological shadow regarding Mu Feng, and now he took everything Mu Feng said as truth.
A faint smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. "Considering you were coerced, I'll give you a chance."
"But remember, this is your only chance. If you cause me trouble again, I won't hesitate to make you disappear from this world."
Hearing this, Su Zhengqiang finally breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt as if his heart had been in his throat, as if he could be killed at any moment.
"Thank you. I will be good. I will stay far away from you all and will not remain in this city. This place is too dangerous; I might get kidnapped again someday." As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably. He had kindly wanted to help Su Mingzhe but ended up in such a predicament.
Mu Feng unleashed a sharp gust of wind. The ropes binding Su Zhengqiang were instantly severed. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock, and his heart churned like a stormy sea. He had only seen Mu Feng wave his hand, yet when nothing was visible, the thick ropes binding him were cut. Such a feat was likely only possible for legendary martial arts masters.
"Mu Feng, can you tell me, who exactly are you?"
"You don't have the qualifications to know. Go, and don't let me see you again." Mu Feng couldn't be bothered with Su Zhengqiang.
Su Zhengqiang hesitated, then forced a smile that was more like a grimace. His eyes held a look of helplessness. "All my money was forcibly transferred to his account by Su Mingzhe. Can you let me retrieve my money before I leave?"
Mu Feng nodded. Su Zhengqiang quickly ran over. He saw Su Mingzhe entering his password and then rapidly operating Su Mingzhe's phone. The money that had been transferred was then moved back.
"You bastard, to think I'd be kind enough to help you, and you'd turn on me like a white-eyed wolf. Scum like you deserves to die!"
Su Mingzhe knew he was doomed today; Mu Feng would never let him go easily. At this moment, he wished he could drag Su Zhengqiang down with him, but his bones were largely shattered, and his jaw was broken, making it impossible for him to speak. His eyes, however, were filled with immense malice and hatred.
Su Zhengqiang flinched at that gaze and quickly forced another pained smile towards Mu Feng before hurrying away.
"Wait a moment!"
Mu Feng uttered three words, causing Su Zhengqiang's hair to stand on end. He turned back with difficulty, his eyes pleading as he looked at Mu Feng. "W-what else do you want?"
Mu Feng smiled faintly. "Call Nianxue. She doesn't want you to die."
"You should be grateful that Nianxue saved you; otherwise, you would have died today."
Upon hearing this, a warmth spread through Su Zhengqiang's heart, and his eyes filled with regret. "Alright, I'll call my daughter right now. Everything that happened before was my fault, and I know I was wrong, but I also know that the mistakes I've made cannot be undone."
"In the future, the only thing I can do is stay away from you all and not cause you any more trouble."
"Tell Nianxue that I managed to escape on my own, and it wasn't you who saved me."
Mu Feng said nothing more. Su Zhengqiang nodded, quickly walked away, and took out his phone.
Inside the dilapidated building, only Mu Feng and Su Mingzhe remained.
"I've given you many chances before, but you didn't cherish them. Now that you've ended up like this, do you regret it?"
"Regret?"
The malice and hatred in Su Mingzhe's eyes grew more pronounced. He truly regretted it now. He regretted not having taken action against Su Nianxue directly. Before Mu Feng appeared, dealing with or even killing Su Nianxue would have been effortless.
Mu Feng saw through his thoughts, and a cold glint flashed across his expression. "You truly are unrepentant!"
"You probably won't have a chance to be human in your next life. Even as a beast, remember this: the heavens watch all actions. What goes around comes around, but the time for retribution may not have arrived yet!"
With that, he flicked his wrist, sending several silver needles into Su Mingzhe's body. Su Mingzhe's jaw was shattered, and he could not speak, only managing to let out strangled cries from his throat.
Mu Feng stated calmly, "This pain will accompany you until your death."
"However, at least you are still alive and won't die immediately."
"Enjoy it slowly. This is the last period of your life."
As his voice faded, Mu Feng's figure vanished from the abandoned building. Su Mingzhe desperately wanted Mu Feng to grant him a swift end; the agony was infinitely worse than death. However, instead of liberation, an ambulance arrived. The call had been made by Mu Feng. Naturally, he wouldn't let Su Mingzhe simply die there. For some, living was a form of torture, while death was true release.
Mu Feng had already returned to the villa. Su Nianxue, dressed in loungewear, beamed with joy upon seeing him. "I tried to call you earlier, but your phone was busy. I wanted to tell you that my dad has escaped."
"Do you know who kidnapped my dad?"
Mu Feng smiled. "Who was it? They must have been incredibly bold."
"It was Su Mingzhe. Dad originally wanted to help him, but he's a white-eyed wolf. However, it wasn't Dad who escaped; I might really need to prepare twenty million to send to him."
"I'm just angry. Su Mingzhe is still unrepentant," Su Nianxue said indignantly.
