Old Madam Su’s face turned extremely ugly. “Even if I die, I will absolutely not let you have your way.”
“Don’t think you can get any clues from me. I will absolutely not tell you those things.”
She still harbored a sliver of hope.
Mu Feng, however, suddenly smiled. He walked over directly and grabbed the man in black.
“Old Madam, have you forgotten him?”
“I don’t need any clues from your mouth. The clues you know ultimately lead back to them. Since you have no more value, perhaps the agony of living is a form of enjoyment for you.”
“However, you are right about one thing; I do care deeply about Nianxue’s feelings.”
“That’s why I won’t kill you.”
“You may leave now.”
Su Mingzhe’s eyes were filled with anxiety and panic. “You can’t let him go!”
“If he leaves, there will be an endless stream of trouble.”
“Then he definitely will…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he grew flustered under Mu Feng’s calm gaze.
At this moment, he dared not utter another word, and fear flickered in his eyes.
Old Madam Su chuckled. “Just as I expected, what you truly care about is Su Nianxue’s feelings.”
“You dare not kill me, but I will cause you trouble at all times.”
“Su Nianxue is soft-hearted. Even if she knows I’ve treated her poorly, I am still her grandmother. That’s why I will always scheme against you, and you will be helpless against me, which is my protection.”
As she spoke, a mocking smile appeared on her face.
She walked past Mu Feng with such brazenness.
Yet, Mu Feng remained as calm as still water, without the slightest ripple. A faint curve was etched on the corner of his lips.
Su Mingzhe, in his urgency, wanted to say something, even wanting to chase after her. But Mu Feng’s calm gaze instilled fear in him, preventing him from making any move.
After Old Madam Su left the villa’s main hall, Mu Feng directly stomped on the neck of the man in black.
“Crack!”
The sound of bone breaking echoed.
Su Mingzhe’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You… didn’t you say you wanted to get clues from his mouth? Why did you kill him?”
Mu Feng turned around and looked at him with a half-smile. “Because he killed you. This is avenging you!”
Upon hearing this, Su Mingzhe’s pupils contracted sharply, and a look of raw terror appeared on his face.
“I’m already your dog, and I’ll obey whatever you say. Why do you still want to kill me?”
“We didn’t have any deep-seated hatred between us. The misunderstandings before were all due to internal family competition for assets.”
“Now that I pose no threat to you, why do you want to send me to my death?”
“What have I done to wrong you?”
His voice was filled with extreme fear and trembling.
Mu Feng calmly replied, “Don’t think I’m unaware of your past actions. The enmity between us is long-standing. As long as you have the chance, you will still be like Old Madam Su.”
“You are her grandson, and your personality is extremely similar to hers.”
“To survive, you can be selfish to the point of having no bottom line.”
“Once someone approaches you, you will undoubtedly bring me great trouble. And now is a perfect opportunity. I am avenging you and your mother.”
Hearing this, Xu Junhua, who had been cowering nearby, suddenly widened her eyes. She suddenly thought of a possibility.
“You want to silence witnesses?”
“And you never intended to spare the Old Madam either.”
“You deliberately let her go just now to lure out the person behind her. You don’t even know who is behind her, and you must have asked the man in black. He also doesn’t know who is giving the orders.”
“To get clues, you can only lure the snake out of its hole. The Old Madam will go to them herself, and you just need to send people to follow that old woman to get the clues.”
Mu Feng’s gaze shifted towards her, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“I didn’t expect you to figure all this out before your death.”
“It’s a pity you’ve become smart now, but it’s too late.”
“You were also involved in my family’s revenge back then. They say you were a tool used by someone, and in your hands, it’s equivalent to being stained with my family’s blood.”
“This debt is now due, and it’s time to settle the score.”
“Those who personally carried out the deed have all been dealt with by me. The only one left is the mysterious person behind it all.”
“However, I believe he will appear soon, and when he does, I will surely send him to the Yellow Springs to reunite with you.”
Su Mingzhe turned and ran in terror.
However, after only a few steps, he fell to the ground due to his injuries, immense pain spreading throughout his body.
He had been implanted with a Gu worm by the man in black earlier, and it was rapidly multiplying.
The pain made him cry out uncontrollably.
Mu Feng did not act, but said with a half-smile, “You shouldn’t have run just now. When you ran, the silver needles on you were dislodged. And those Gu worms, having lost their master’s life-sense, will go mad.”
“Including you!”
His gaze fell upon Xu Junhua.
Xu Junhua’s fearful eyes contracted violently. “How could this happen? Why is this the outcome?”
“Because you already spared us, you didn’t let us die. Why are you now killing us with your own hands?”
Mu Feng slowly shook his head. “I’m not killing you with my own hands, but watching you die!”
“Those Gu worms are already moving rapidly within your bodies. Feel them carefully. Does your heart ache a little?”
“It’s not the pressure I’m exerting on you. It’s the Gu worms beginning to stir. They need to grow and also need to retaliate.”
“Oh, and in the end, the Gu worms will devour you from the inside out, but you won’t be able to see it.”
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
He couldn’t afford to lose the trail from Old Madam Su. The mysterious person behind everything must be found.
Su Mingzhe was now ashen-faced with terror, his eyes filled with dread.
The pain throughout his body made him cry out with anguish. Every extra second he lived felt like a torment. His gaze involuntarily turned to his mother nearby.
“Mom, please help me!”
“Give me a quick death. I want to die, I don’t want to live for another second. These worms feel like they’re eating my brain, I feel like my head is about to split open!”
