Mu Feng’s lips curved into a slight arc, and he said lightly, “Go now. You only have twenty-four hours. If you are not back by this time tomorrow night.”
“You know the consequences!”
The masked man gritted his teeth, offered no reply, and turned to sprint in the direction not far away.
The lame leg did not affect his speed at this moment. Those who practiced bone shrinking techniques possessed an extremely keen control over their own bones and meridians.
The smile on Mu Feng’s face became even more pronounced, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
He already had a guess in his heart, but he was not entirely certain at the moment.
Once the Thousand-Faced Man brought the person over, everything would become clear. Perhaps this time he could even uncover clues about the mastermind behind it all.
He then turned and headed directly towards the villa's parking garage.
It was exceptionally quiet here. Mu Feng walked over and found Du Jiaojiao’s car. He reached out, pulled open the rear door, and sat down.
When he saw the person inside, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Du Jiaojiao was lying in the back seat, her face still bearing the panic from before she lost consciousness.
Mu Feng placed his hand directly on Du Jiaojiao’s meridians, pressing gently with a slight force.
“Hmph…”
Du Jiaojiao let out a soft hum and slowly opened her eyes. Fear flashed in her beautiful eyes, but upon seeing Mu Feng, her alertness immediately relaxed.
“Mu Feng, did you see anyone just now?”
“Someone was following me. I didn’t detect them at all before. When we reached the villa, that person suddenly struck my neck.”
“I don’t know who he is, but his actions towards me clearly had a motive. And you woke me up, does that mean he already…”
Du Jiaojiao did not finish her sentence, but her eyes held evident worry.
The smile on Mu Feng’s face grew more apparent. “He indeed wanted to cause trouble for me, and he even took on your appearance, looking exactly like you.”
“However, the only mistake he made was trying to use your own appearance to deliberately seduce me.”
“Unfortunately, he had no idea about our relationship.”
Du Jiaojiao paused slightly, and a faint blush spread across her delicate face. “So you have no interest in my looks at all?”
Mu Feng maintained his smile. “That’s why I’m not interested. I was merely repelled by the smell on him.”
“Perhaps if you had actually gone through with it, I might have done something excessive.”
Du Jiaojiao bit her red lip slightly, a hint of desire flickering in her beautiful eyes.
Her fair hands immediately wrapped around Mu Feng’s neck, and her beautiful eyes softened.
“You… you said before that if it were me, you might do something excessive?”
“It just so happens that we are in the underground parking lot with no one else around. You can do whatever you want, and I will agree to it.”
“If you think this place isn’t suitable, we can find another private place. If you want to mess around, I won’t be able to resist.”
Her voice, soft and intoxicating, seemed to melt one’s bones.
Mu Feng’s lips curved into a mischievous grin. He directly raised his palm and brought it down without hesitation.
“Slap!”
A crisp sound echoed.
Immediately followed by a startled cry from Du Jiaojiao.
She instinctively covered her rear with her small hand, her face filled with disbelief. She had never expected Mu Feng to hit her behind at this moment, and quite forcefully at that.
Mu Feng got out of the car, a smile in his eyes. “I was just playing a joke with you just now to test whether you were real or fake.”
“It’s now confirmed, you are real.”
Du Jiaojiao’s face turned red with anger, her eyes filled with defiance. She quickly got out of the car, jumped up, and clung to Mu Feng’s back like an octopus.
“You scoundrel, I was already being so forward, why don’t you have any intention of acting?”
“Don’t you understand what my feelings are by now?”
Mu Feng smiled faintly. “I’m really not that interested in you. After all, only one person lives in my heart. Some things, although speaking them might cause you psychological harm, saying them beforehand is like cutting the Gordian knot quickly.”
Du Jiaojiao said nothing more but quietly lay on Mu Feng’s back, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She had already guessed Mu Feng’s feelings towards her; he would never make a move on her.
If that weren't the case, she wouldn't have dared to put on such a seductive act in front of Mu Feng.
Mu Feng’s face held a faint smile. “When we go upstairs later, don’t mention what just happened.”
“Tonight, you will sleep with your cousin. I need to go out for something. Don’t worry, no one in the villa can harm you.”
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaojiao nodded. “Thank you!”
“Your back is truly warm and safe.”
“Although I don’t know who has been targeting me, I know that without your protection, I might have already been gone. I know I’ve inherited everything from the family now, and many people are unconvinced. But with you by my side, I have no worries.”
Saying this, she hugged Mu Feng’s neck from behind and kissed his cheek before jumping down. “Don’t overthink it. I was just testing you.”
“If you had really messed around, I would have definitely told my cousin about it. You should be glad you didn’t make a move.”
Mu Feng asked with a half-smile, “Really didn’t make a move?”
After speaking, he raised his palm.
Du Jiaojiao’s pretty face flushed. “That doesn’t count. And you scoundrel dared to hit me there! Just you wait, I’ll get revenge later.”
After saying this, she shyly ran upstairs.
Mu Feng turned and walked directly out the door. Xiao Qi poked his head out from the entrance and looked inside. Upon seeing Mu Feng, his face immediately broke into a mischievous grin. “Young Master, I didn’t see anything just now!”
“I didn’t hear anything either. As soon as I got back, I heard you two whispering. Yes, it must have been whispering. I only heard you, Young Master, threatening the Young Madam.”
Mu Feng glared at him. “Looking at you like this, do you have good news to report?”
Xiao Qi’s face broke into an incredibly brilliant smile. “Yes, it’s indeed good news. As expected, nothing can be hidden from the Young Master.”
