Madam Du's pupils contracted sharply. Disbelief filled her gaze, "You traitor, how dare you lay a hand on me?"
The decadent man retreated several steps, positioning himself behind Madam Du. His eyes warily fixed on the old butler who had brought him in.
"I know you are powerful; you are a martial artist too. But no matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than the weapon in my hand."
"Before you wanted me to die, I knew nothing. But now I know Mu Feng is a great terror."
"You think I'm useless, but why don't you go yourselves?"
As he spoke, he vented the anger raging within him.
Simultaneously, he was strategizing how to escape the butler's pursuit.
He had no other thought but to eliminate Madam Du. Otherwise, even if he didn't die at the hands of these two today, he would perish by the mouth of that insect.
His eyes blazed with boundless fury, and a sense of grievance surfaced in them. "Do you know what Mu Feng did to me?"
"He actually placed an insect inside my head. Now that insect is like a ticking time bomb, ready to devour my brain at any moment."
"If I don't do as Mu Feng says, I might already be dead. I have no choice but to obey his orders, so I must eliminate you."
After he finished speaking, his words had a certain psychological impact on Madam Du. In that instant, he was about to pull the trigger.
But before his finger could exert force, a sharp blade light flashed, and his entire hand was severed at the wrist, the weapon clattering to the ground.
The old butler stepped forward a few paces, his expression remaining serene. "You garbage, you think you can make a move on our Madam? I think you're tired of living."
"Today, I won't let you die easily. Didn't you say there was a bug in your brain? I'll help you excavate it, so you can see for yourself what that bug looks like."
The man hadn't expected the old butler to be so powerful; he hadn't even given him time to react.
He regretted it now, thinking he should have directly attacked and shot Madam Du.
But there was no turning back time.
Just as he was about to say something, the old butler had already taken a step forward, appearing before him. Simultaneously, he landed a powerful punch to the man's abdomen, sending him flying backward. Upon hitting the ground, most of his bones were broken.
Madam Du finally regained her senses. Her eyes were filled with a ferocious, twisted hatred. "Even trash like you wanted to kill me? Didn't anyone tell you I'm not to be trifled with either?"
After speaking, she directly instructed the old butler, "Tie him up. Don't let him die. I want to see how that insect in his head will torment him."
"Make him wish he were dead."
The decadent man cried out in terror, "You can't do this! From the beginning, I was following your orders and doing your work."
"If you hadn't set me up and made me a pawn, I wouldn't have come back to trouble you."
"Besides, I was forced into this."
"I beg you, don't do this, don't..."
Before he could finish his words, the old butler shoved the severed hand into his mouth.
"Shut your mouth. You are doomed."
The decadent man's eyes were filled with endless despair, and he was bound to the bed beside them.
Du Chao weakly turned his head. Fear appeared in his eyes, as he had indeed experienced something similar before. The pain was indescribable.
At this moment, the sound of applause suddenly echoed from outside the door.
Several people's gazes flickered, and they immediately turned towards the entrance.
Mu Feng appeared at the doorway. A cold, sharp glint appeared in his eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "So the one who hid the deepest was not Du Wei Qiang, but you."
"I suspect you have played a significant role in your family. Even the decisions Du Wei Cai made in the past likely came from you."
"You are the vixen hiding behind the scenes."
Madam Du gritted her teeth so hard they creaked. "Mu Feng, you dare show your face here? Don't think I have no way to deal with you. I have already summoned the experts from our family."
"Do you really think Du Wei Cai is some formidable figure? He's just a man I found casually."
"Even Du Chao is not his biological son."
"As for Du Jiao Jiao, she is his child, but unfortunately, her personality is nothing like mine. I dislike this daughter very much."
"To tell you something, Du Jiao Jiao is not my biological daughter either."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. "Do you know what consequences that last sentence has brought you?"
"If it were Jiao Jiao's biological mother, I might have spared your life."
"But now, you are walking towards your own death."
"Walking towards my own death?" Madam Du couldn't help but laugh. Her ferocious face made her features look somewhat contorted. "I think it's you who is walking towards your own death."
"If I hadn't needed you to treat my son, I would have had someone slice you into a thousand pieces by now."
"I'll give you one chance: cure my son of his remaining problems, and then serve him like a dog, attending to his every need."
"Perhaps I can give you a chance to live. If you disobey, I don't mind having you sliced into a thousand pieces right now, as long as you tell me the method to cure my son. Whether you live or die, I don't care."
"All I care about is my son."
The smile on Mu Feng's face widened. "Who gave you this?"
"This old fellow?"
"You can ask him now if he can make any waves in front of me."
Cold sweat was already streaming down the old butler's forehead. Even the slightest hint of Mu Feng's aura made him feel as if he could barely breathe.
His eyes were filled with terror. "Madam, this matter absolutely cannot be handled carelessly."
"Mu Feng is a master, much more powerful than me. At the very least, I am no match for him. If he gets leverage over us, we might truly die."
He spoke without any concealment.
Because he knew very well Mu Feng's hearing. Even if they whispered, they couldn't hide it from him. It was better to be straightforward.
