Mu Feng's lips curved into a faint arc. "Mr. Deng, I'd very much like to hear your explanation."
Deng Hanfeng wished he could carve Mu Feng into a thousand pieces right then and there, as his son's death was closely linked to Mu Feng. According to this character's modus operandi, killing his son was entirely within the realm of possibility; after all, this guy was just too insane.
In front of them, he had directly crushed a bodyguard to death, and his actions were swift and decisive. After killing someone, there was not the slightest change in his expression, as if he had merely crushed an ant.
This also filled Deng Hanfeng with fear, and he felt that his visit today had been somewhat too reckless.
"When this matter occurred, I didn't investigate it thoroughly. However, I estimate, based on your character, that you wouldn't have proactively provoked my son."
"After all, you are too powerful."
"As a strong individual like yourself, you wouldn't stoop to lying."
"You certainly wouldn't want to cause any conflict with my son, as in the eyes of strong individuals like you, my son is nothing more than a good-for-nothing idiot."
"To bother with such an imbecile would be beneath you."
Mu Feng nodded with a smile. "Mr. Deng, you speak the truth. I would certainly not bother with your good-for-nothing son."
"However, some people indeed wanted to use you to deal with me, and their objective has now been achieved."
"I could have directly killed both of you, and that would have been the end of it."
"But, I feel that doing so would only bring satisfaction to certain individuals. After all, if you were to die, your remaining associates would certainly not let this matter rest easily, and there would be endless trouble. For such an idiot, I have no need to make an enemy of your Deng family."
"Moreover, I dislike trouble. The biggest reason I didn't lay a hand on you is because you were completely kept in the dark. You are also a victim."
Upon hearing this, Deng Hanfeng nodded profusely. Regardless, it was best to leave this place as soon as possible.
"That's right, I believe you would never lie to me about this matter."
"Besides, I know better than anyone what kind of character my idiotic son possesses. He must have been manipulated by someone, deliberately sent to cause you trouble. This was an attempt to use our family as a weapon."
"He can only blame his own bad luck for encountering such a situation. Afterward, he was undoubtedly eliminated by those people."
"And now they want to frame you for it. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and will absolutely not let it go unpunished."
Mu Feng's eyes held a mocking sneer. "You don't need to investigate elsewhere. You can ask Du Weicai directly right now."
"I believe he can give you a perfect explanation."
"If he spews nonsense, the consequences will be extremely severe."
As he said this, Mu Feng turned his gaze towards Du Weicai, his eyes filled with obvious amusement.
Du Weicai's heart couldn't help but tremble. He felt as if Mu Feng had seen through his thoughts, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Mu Feng, what do you mean by that? Young Master Deng and I are close friends, and our relationship is profound. Are you suggesting that I used Young Master Deng?"
"Patriarch Deng, you must not listen to his ramblings."
"I would absolutely never do such a thing. After all, if Young Master Deng were alive, it would be of greater benefit to our cooperation."
"How could I possibly do something that would backfire on me?"
Deng Hanfeng now wished he could focus all his attention on Du Weicai.
Anger surfaced on his face. "This matter is inseparable from you."
"Don't think I don't know what you, you old scoundrel, are thinking. You've probably been utterly fed up with my son for a long time, as his demands were too great, and he benefited greatly from you."
"Do you think that because my son took too much, you wanted to use a knife to kill him, making him disappear?"
"At least this way, it wouldn't affect our cooperation. And the reason you were able to establish a cooperative relationship with me was due to my son's mediation."
After finding a few excuses, he kicked fiercely at Du Weicai.
His kick was sufficiently brutal, landing directly on Du Weicai's broken leg. The exposed bone was ruthlessly pinned to the ground.
Du Weicai wailed and screamed, letting out heart-rending roars.
"Mr. Deng, this matter truly has nothing to do with me!"
"It was your son who took a liking to my daughter and wanted to possess her."
"I could only grit my teeth and accept it, and agree to his proposal of marriage. I believe he must have told you about this, as marrying my daughter would also be greatly beneficial to you."
"This is all Mu Feng deliberately sowing discord. He just wants to watch us two dogs fight."
Deng Hanfeng spat on the ground. "You're the dog, and your whole family are dogs."
"Now, Mu Feng is clearly instigating us to confront each other, so he can find the person behind the scenes who manipulated this situation. And that person is you."
"I know very well what kind of person you, this old schemer, are."
"Don't play coy here, or I'll kill you today!"
His words carried a strong threat.
The implication was even more obvious.
Du Weicai understood what he meant, and his heart rejoiced.
It was clear that this bastard wanted him to take the blame for now. However, Deng Hanfeng still believed that Mu Feng had killed his son. If Deng Hanfeng believed this, then he had succeeded. He also felt that Mu Feng wouldn't directly kill him, as he was Du Jiaojiao's biological father. If he were to be killed, Mu Feng would have difficulty accounting for it to Du Jiaojiao.
"Mr. Deng, since you want to hear the truth, I'll tell you the truth!"
"That's right, it was I who was instigating and fanning the flames before."
"I just hate Mu Feng and want to kill him directly, so I used your son. You can do as you please, kill me or beat me."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible curve appeared on Deng Hanfeng's lips. As expected, Du Weicai understood his intentions. The best course of action now was for someone to step forward as a scapegoat, regardless of how Mu Feng dealt with him. He would definitely be able to leave alive, as Mu Feng wasn't a lunatic who would kill them both on the spot. With temporary escape, there would be ample time for future revenge.
