Deng Haiming’s bodyguards all rushed into the villa. These were all his trusted subordinates whom he had cultivated, and they executed his orders thoroughly.
After they charged in, they did not encounter any resistance. A group of them smoothly entered the villa’s main hall.
“Du Weicai, you must know you’re in trouble. To not even have a trusted person by your side, leaving you to wait here to die!”
As Deng Haiming spoke these words, he had already stepped into the hall. He saw Du Weicai sitting in the main seat, sipping tea. The other man’s composure and mocking gaze made him feel that something was amiss.
However, after looking around, he saw no one else in the hall except Du Weicai. He wondered if there was an ambush.
Du Weicai’s eyes held a cold sneer. A touch of ice appeared in his gaze. “Mr. Deng, I already explained it to you very clearly. You should be looking for Mu Feng for the deaths of your elder brother and nephew.”
“If it weren’t for him, your relatives wouldn’t have walked the path to the underworld.”
“And if you had cooperated with me, we wouldn’t have so many conflicts between us. We might have even been able to directly carve up Su Nianxue’s company. But you didn’t believe me; instead, you chose to believe Mu Feng.”
“This seals your doom.”
Deng Haiming’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. His gaze became even more cautious. “Stop putting on a show in front of me.”
“You’ve likely made some preparations. Call out your people. My bodyguards are not ordinary individuals. If your preparations are insufficient, you definitely won’t be my match. And I won’t kill you today; at most, I’ll cripple you completely.”
“As for the other matters you mentioned, I’ll tell you the truth. I even owe some gratitude to you and Mu Feng. If you hadn’t confused things, I wouldn’t have been able to ascend to the position of family head.”
“However, someone must take the blame. Otherwise, if I become the family head but don’t avenge my elder brother, I’ll surely be criticized.”
“And you are the perfect candidate to take the blame. I can’t afford to offend Mu Feng, and I wouldn’t dare to provoke him.”
Speaking to this point, he saw that Du Weicai still made no move. His brows furrowed even tighter. He didn’t want to continue, fearing that delaying would lead to further complications.
“Act now! Break all his bones, especially his limbs. Absolutely do not give him any chance to recover.”
The bodyguards, without hesitation, rushed forward.
“Wait a moment!”
Du Weicai picked up his teacup, his smile growing more mocking.
His eyes held a cold sneer, and he directly said, “Since you’ve already guessed that I’ve made preparations, why can’t you be more patient?”
“I already told you earlier that you are in for bad luck.”
Deng Haiming had a very bad feeling. At this moment, he didn’t dare to delay any longer and directly shouted, “Don’t listen to him! Take him down immediately!”
“If I can’t cripple him tonight, then Mu Feng might even think I’m incompetent and continue to target me.”
Upon hearing this, Du Weicai’s expression stiffened slightly. He hadn’t expected Deng Haiming to come to him because of Mu Feng.
However, upon further thought, he understood.
“Mr. Deng, Mu Feng doesn’t want to be involved in our affairs, nor does he want to step into this vortex. He simply wants to watch the two of us fight like dogs. You deliberately bringing him up is likely to make me more hostile towards him.”
“You really didn’t need to do this. Because for a period of time, I will deliberately target Mu Feng. Even without the conflict between you and me, Mu Feng won’t have an easy time.”
“He will become something in my grasp, and his company will also become more resources in my hands.”
As he spoke these words, he had already stood up. At the same time, he bowed towards the upper floor. “Mr. Zhang, please lend me a hand!”
Seeing this, Deng Haiming instinctively looked upstairs.
The door on the second floor of the villa opened.
A middle-aged man appeared at the entrance. He was wearing simple linen attire, and standing there, he gave the impression of a sharp blade, as if capable of cleaving through everything.
Mr. Zhang’s gaze turned towards him, immediately making Deng Haiming feel as if a blade were at his throat.
His heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and a thought couldn’t help but surface.
Could this person in front of him also be a martial artist like Mu Feng?
Mr. Zhang leaped down from the second floor. He landed as silently as a civet cat, without even the slightest sound of footsteps. This was a true master.
The bodyguards did not continue their assault at this moment. Instead, they all guarded Deng Haiming’s side.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance.
“Mr. Deng, this person is a true expert. We might not be a match for him. We should retreat first!”
Du Weicai couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. “Didn’t you just want to have my limbs broken? And since you’ve already come, why the rush to leave?”
“As the saying goes, to receive without giving is impolite. Since you wanted to break my limbs, I don’t need to waste any more time with you.”
“Mr. Zhang, please apprehend him. According to what he just said, breaking his limbs will not be forgiven lightly.”
“Good!”
Mr. Zhang uttered only one word, but his voice carried a chilling murderous intent.
He saw the bodyguards and said coldly, “This situation is now clearly resolved. I can spare you, as you are merely dogs working for others.”
“If you insist on obstructing me, then you will only die.”
The bodyguards exchanged glances. A hint of fear flickered in their eyes. The opponent’s aura was too powerful.
“I admire your courage. Even knowing you are no match for me, not one of you has retreated. Very good. I will give you the highest respect.”
Mr. Zhang’s face displayed a sarcastic cold smile. “I will make my move shortly. If any of you survive this, it will be by sheer luck.”
As his voice fell, he abruptly drew a sharp blade from his waist and pointed it at the bodyguards.
“I’m about to make my move!”
He hadn’t fought freely and with gusto in a long time. And now, he held nothing back.
The moment he moved, his attack was like lightning. Where the blade passed, no one could withstand it.
In the blink of an eye, the bodyguards all had a bloody line across their necks. What they wanted to say was already choked by the blood in their mouths.
