"Don't come any closer! If you dare to take another step, I'll shoot her dead!"
Seeing Mu Feng advancing, he panicked, pressing his finger against the trigger, his voice trembling with threats.
Large beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. No one knew how terrified he was at that moment.
"You dare to come closer? Take one more step and I'll definitely shoot!"
The middle-aged man found that the other party completely disregarded his words, and his voice began to turn cold.
Mu Feng smiled and shook his head, "Look how many steps I've already taken? You don't dare to shoot. Hurry up and put down the gun, and I might leave you a whole corpse. Otherwise, don't blame anyone for missing limbs!"
The girl was also pale with fright, looking lost and confused, her tears having long since dried up.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was unaware that his Qi had already been locked onto by Mu Feng.
As soon as he made any move to pull the trigger, he would surely die instantly, with no chance of survival.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think I won't dare to shoot? Kid, you'll regret this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life..."
Mu Feng stretched lazily as if nothing had happened, "You can try, but I can guarantee that the moment you pull the trigger, your life will no longer be your own!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man's psychological defenses were completely shattered.
His hands trembling, he dropped the pistol onto the ground. He slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, muttering incessantly, completely unaware of what he was saying.
"Why, why..." he cried, curled up on the ground, clearly unable to accept this reality.
The girl's legs turned to jelly with fright, and she was about to collapse to the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Feng immediately lunged forward, steadied her, and whispered, "Are you alright!"
"I'm I'm alright, thank you, sir, for saving me!" A blush appeared on her pretty face as she lowered her head.
The middle-aged man scrambled to Mu Feng's side and knelt, begging, "Big brother, please let me go. All of this is the doing of my good-for-nothing son. It really has nothing to do with me!"
Mu Feng glanced at him meaningfully and said, "You'd best be careful. Next time, it won't be this easy!"
With those words, Mu Feng left with the girl.
The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat and lay on the ground, utterly drained, and it took him a long time to recover.
Of course, although the man recovered, it did not mean he dared to continue bothering Mu Feng.
After all, he understood that with his abilities, if he were to cause more trouble, it would be like playing with fire and inviting disaster; he would surely not have a good outcome.
As Mu Feng took the girl away from the villa, she still nestled in his arms.
After some conversation, he learned that the girl's name was Gu Yan'er, a sophomore student at Honghai University in the neighboring city.
Because her mother was bedridden, she had taken a leave of absence to stay home and care for her mother, while also working part-time to supplement the family's income.
"Little Gu, now that there's no danger, can you let go?" Mu Feng coughed lightly.
Gu Yan'er's pretty face flushed. She only then realized she was still leaning in his arms, so she quickly pulled away.
She bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Mu, I'm so sorry. I... I was just a little scared..."
After all, being kidnapped and witnessing such a bloody scene, it would be strange not to be scared.
Mu Feng sighed and said, "That's normal. It's late, where do you live? I'll take you home!"
"That's not very appropriate, Mr. Mu. Your time is so precious!" she said, flattered.
"It's not a big deal, get in the car!" Mu Feng opened the car door.
Gu Yan'er's family was not well-off, living in an old six-story building in an urban village.
The building was weathered, showing signs of the last century everywhere.
As soon as they stopped the car, they heard people arguing upstairs.
Gu Yan'er froze, then suddenly gasped, "Oh no, that sounds like my mother!"
At the same moment, in the corridor outside the entrance door on the top floor.
Two men were holding spray paint cans, spraying words on the walls and doors, mostly about owing money and repayment.
"Please, stop spraying, don't spray anymore!" A middle-aged woman knelt before the two men, begging them earnestly.
One of the men kicked her aside and cursed, "You old hag, have you no shame? When will this medical fee be paid? If you can't come up with it, don't you believe I'll tear down your house!"
The other chuckled and said, "But it's okay if you can't repay it. I've heard that your university-going daughter is quite beautiful. If you sell her to me, I'd be willing to pay off this medical debt for you!"
The middle-aged woman was startled and immediately reprimanded, "I won't let you insult my daughter! I will find a way to repay the money!"
The man sneered, "Repay? With what? I'm telling you, if you don't have the money today, we're not leaving. We'll live and eat at your place, and take a look to see if your daughter is as beautiful as the rumors say!"
"But I, but I really don't have that much money right now!" The middle-aged woman was in a difficult situation.
The man laughed, "No money is fine. I'm feeling a bit sleepy anyway, I'll go sleep in your daughter's room for a while, it must smell wonderful!"
Saying that, the two prepared to rush in.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman immediately got up to block them.
"Damn it, you dare to stop us? I'll kill you!" The man raised his fist directly, about to smash it into the middle-aged woman.
Just then, a stern voice cut through the air, "Stop, all of you, stop!"
The speaker was Mu Feng, who quickly ascended the stairs with Gu Yan'er.
The man sized him up and said with a smile, "Who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do?"
"Mom, are you alright!" Gu Yan'er, with tears in her eyes, rushed to the middle-aged woman's side.
"Go quickly, get out of here!" The middle-aged woman, panicked, tried to push her daughter away.
The man's gaze immediately shifted to Gu Yan'er, like a cat smelling prey.
"Tsk tsk, rumors can't compare to seeing you in person. You really are very beautiful. Miss, your family owes a lot of money, and I don't think you can repay it!" The man licked his lips with satisfaction.
However, to his surprise, Gu Yan'er pulled out over a dozen banknotes from her bag: "This is the money for the medicine. We don't owe you anymore, and we won't buy medicine from you in the future!"
After taking the banknotes, the man's mind raced, and he chuckled, "You think this little bit of money is enough?"
"We clearly owe this much money, so why isn't it enough?" Gu Yan'er's pretty face turned red with anger.
