Manager Niu's eyes blazed with fury. "Then do you believe I'll expose everything you've done, especially those medicinal herbs you dealt with?"
"Even if you make me a scapegoat, your leverage will still be in my hands. I can completely strip you of everything you own."
It was Manager Niu who held Xu Da's leverage in the first place, otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with Manager Niu.
Moreover, they both knew each other's dirty secrets.
His eyes were also filled with rage. "Don't try to play coy with me. I know about the wicked things you've done too."
"At worst, we'll both go down."
"Right now, we're like dogs biting each other, only by making a choice can one of us find release."
"I don't care what you're thinking. If you make me say something to Mu Feng, I won't hesitate to expose you after I'm done."
The two glared at each other, their eyes boiling with anger, bloodshot veins spreading.
At that moment, Manager Niu suddenly pulled out a knife and held it to Xu Da's neck.
His eyes held a ferocious and terrifying expression.
"You bastard, if you don't truthfully tell me about those things, I'll plunge this knife directly into your neck right now."
"After all, once you're dead, whatever I say will be the truth. If I say anything wrong, you won't be able to come back from the dead to correct it."
He spoke in a low voice, barely audible to Xu Da.
Manager Niu continued, "If I can lead Mu Feng in the wrong direction, perhaps he'll even thank me."
"And as long as you're dead, you won't betray me."
"If you confess honestly and tell Mu Feng everything, I might spare your wretched life."
Xu Da roared in exasperation, "You animal!"
"You're actually threatening me with my life?"
Manager Niu sneered, "That's just because you're stupid. If a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them."
"Besides, we're both facing a life-or-death crisis right now."
"You have no idea of Mu Feng's strength, nor how terrifying his methods of dealing with people are. I'm forced into this."
"You'd better do as I say. Otherwise, we can both perish together. Or perhaps you'll die, and I'll live."
Xu Da was cornered. His eyes flickered.
When he felt the pain on his neck and saw blood trickling down the blade, he knew that if he didn't make a choice, Manager Niu's madness would surely kill him.
He didn't know why Mu Feng could cause such a change in Manager Niu, but he understood some of what Manager Niu was saying.
Mu Feng must be terrifying, or Manager Niu wouldn't be so scared.
"I'll talk!"
Hearing these words, Manager Niu did not lower his knife. Instead, his expression became even more ferocious. "Since you're going to talk, then speak up. Once you're completely finished, I'll put the knife down."
"I suggest you use your brain. If you can lead Mu Feng in another direction, we won't only be fine, but we'll profit from it."
Xu Da gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to agree.
He looked towards Mu Feng.
But as their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat.
It was as if that gaze could see through all his thoughts. He felt as if he were in the bitter cold of winter without clothes, shivering all over.
A thought spontaneously arose in his mind.
Had Mu Feng overheard their conversation just now?
As soon as this thought appeared, he suppressed it.
Manager Niu's voice was barely audible. Even he had to strain to hear it. Furthermore, Mu Feng was at least five centimeters away.
He took a deep breath and opened his mouth. "Mu Feng, we've made a decision. I will explain everything clearly to you."
Mu Feng smiled and nodded. "Alright, you can speak now. I'm listening!"
Xu Da replied with a trembling voice, "The main reason for this incident started with me."
"I saw your skincare products before and became greedy, wanting to possess the formula for those skincare products."
"That's why I arranged for my brother to find trouble with you. But my brother was indeed dealt with by you after finding you. I regret it now and don't want to deal with you anymore. After all, your strength is too great, we are no match for you."
"Then, someone approached us. That person was very terrifying, much more terrifying than you. With just a few methods, he made me wish I were dead."
As he said this, Xu Da suddenly turned and shoved Manager Niu away forcefully.
Manager Niu was caught off guard, planning what Xu Da would say. Before he could even plunge the knife, he was pushed aside.
Xu Da shouted in panic, "Mu Feng, save me!"
"That bastard wants to kill me, and he said he wants to use some excuse to lead you in the wrong direction."
"I don't want to die, and I don't want to be your enemy anymore. Please, give me a chance and help me!"
Manager Niu's expression finally changed, and his eyes were filled with terror.
How could he have imagined that Xu Da would dare to sell him out?
However, he wouldn't admit to anything he had said. He immediately shook his head like a maraca. "Don't believe him. He's just deliberately using me as a shield."
"He also resents me for attacking him just now."
Mu Feng looked at them with a half-smile. "I said, I'm giving you ten minutes. I don't care if you beat each other to death or disable each other. As long as one of you is left alive, it's enough for me."
"I just need a result. As long as there's a breath left to tell me, I don't care what state you're in."
"I can continue, but I must remind you of one thing."
"There are only two minutes left."
Hearing this, both of them had the same look in their eyes.
Manager Niu gritted his teeth and moved to stab Xu Da with the knife in his hand.
But Xu Da had already reacted and roared furiously, "Why are you all standing there? Hurry and restrain that bastard!"
The employees were about to act when Mu Feng coughed. "This is between those two. I suggest no one interfere, or you'll face the consequences."
With his words, everyone fell silent.
