Ji Shi Yu Ben Zun

Chapter 257 Deliberate Probing

The bald man’s eyes still held deep worry. He knew he was merely a pawn in this game.

He dared not speak, his fate resting entirely in the hands of the two individuals. He felt immense gratitude towards Mu Feng, as Mu Feng hadn't seized the opportunity to demand anything excessive and had, in fact, protected him.

"Alright, since everything has been settled, I trust your capabilities will allow you to find his family. You, the CEO of this company, are willing to mobilize your company's resources to deal with those who intend to cause trouble, all for the sake of your subordinate. Remember to deal them a heavy blow."

"Only then can your company's people become more united. Next time something happens, they will come to you first, not me."

Deng Haiming naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Feng's words.

He immediately assured, "Mr. Mu, please rest assured. After hearing your guidance, I know what I need to do next."

"I will definitely find out who is behind this. If our guess is correct, this bastard is Du Weicai."

"Today, I don't want to waste any more words with him. I'm going to lead my men directly to him and cripple this bastard before anything else."

Mu Feng simply nodded with a smile.

After Deng Haiming left with the bald man, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He turned and patted the bald man's shoulder heavily, "You handled this matter very well, knowing to come to Mu Feng immediately to play the victim."

"But are you sure Mu Feng truly didn't see this information?"

The bald man immediately nodded, "I can guarantee that Mu Feng absolutely did not see it. Moreover, he just told me that he didn't even care about this information and that his company's future development path is completely different from ours."

"I believe Mr. Mu wouldn't lie to a minor figure like me. In his eyes, I'm probably not even as significant as an ant."

Deng Haiming smiled with satisfaction. "You have self-awareness. You understand what needs to be said, don't you?"

"I understand!" Cold sweat dripped down the bald man's face, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Instead, I will establish you as a benchmark within the company. Regardless of whether your family can be saved this time, I will give it my all. At least, I want to show the other employees of the company my stance."

As he said this, Deng Haiming's expression turned cold. "But you must remember, this is a one-time occurrence."

"I'm letting you off today purely out of respect for Mr. Mu. If there's a next time, I'm afraid even Mr. Mu won't be able to protect a disloyal person like you."

Mu Feng vaguely heard their conversation, a slight smile playing on his lips as he tapped his fingers on the desk.

"This is a bit of seasoning for an otherwise dull life."

"I just don't know if Du Weicai can withstand Deng Haiming's retaliation this time."

"If he can't, that's fine. It'll save Du Weicai from plotting any more schemes behind the scenes. After all, he's Nianxue's maternal uncle. If I were to kill him myself, it might cause some trouble."

As he pondered these matters, Xiao Qi quickly entered the office. "Young Master, I've just found some information."

"It might be related to what happened back then."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "Have those people appeared again?"

Xiao Qi shook his head. "I haven't had time to investigate thoroughly. I only know that a mysterious person has been in contact with Du Weicai, and he has arranged several individuals around Du Weicai."

"Those individuals are all warriors, and they are very peculiar."

"They are all shrouded in black robes, with only their eyes visible. After arriving at Du Weicai's villa, they immediately detected our men stationed outside."

Mu Feng furrowed his brow. "Are those men alright?"

"The men are fine. It seems they dared not attack us. They only issued a few warnings at the entrance. When our men realized they were outmatched, they temporarily retreated and are currently awaiting my instructions."

A fierce killing intent flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes. "Young Master, why don't we go there now and capture them to extract information?"

"The reason I say they might be related to the past is because they all have a tattoo."

"Our men happened to see it."

Mu Feng's eyes blazed with killing intent. "Is it that snake-like tattoo?"

He had seen a snake-like tattoo on some of those people back then, and those individuals were the core instigators of the matter.

Even Li Changhe bore the same mark, clearly indicating they originated from the same place.

"Young Master, shall we go now?"

A sharp glint of cold light flashed in Mu Feng's eyes. "They are clearly waiting for us to come, which means they have made their arrangements. Even if we go now, at best, we will only capture some insignificant pawns."

"We might not even get any useful information from them. This is also a probing move."

"Don't be in a hurry to deal with them. Have the men withdraw!"

"Sometimes, patience is also necessary. Perhaps Deng Haiming is in for trouble, but he's not a good person either. Letting them suffer a heavy loss would give me a reason to intervene."

"However, the next move depends on Deng Haiming's choice."

Mu Feng closed his eyes slightly, suppressing the anger and killing intent in his heart. Anger could sometimes affect a person's rationality, and the other party was clearly provoking him.

Their blatant appearance within his sight, given his usual temperament, would have led to their complete eradication.

But he wasn't acting that way now. He wanted to let the other party make further probing moves.

And Du Weicai was definitely not the type to be completely obedient.

At this moment, Deng Haiming had gathered his trusted bodyguards and also brought along some specially invited experts.

A group of them headed towards Du Weicai's villa.

"Capture everyone in their villa. Today, I will personally cripple that bastard Du Weicai," Deng Haiming roared through gritted teeth.

He had already made arrangements for all company affairs.

He had to handle things perfectly tonight, showing everyone in the company that he was not a cold-blooded and unfeeling person.

Following closely beside him was the bald man.

The twenty-odd bodyguards he brought with him directly charged into the villa, and he followed them in afterward.
