Chapter 229 Adding Fuel to the Flames

Young Master Deng was around thirty years old, his face somewhat pale, with dark, sunken eye sockets.

Standing at just over 1.7 meters, his physique was so thin at first glance that he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

His eyes were also rather dim, clearly indicating a body that had been drained.

At this moment, his gaze didn't linger on Du Weicai, who was kneeling on the ground, but scanned his surroundings.

However, he failed to find Du Jiaojiao's figure, which caused a slight displeasure in his heart.

When he came this time, he had felt an itch in his heart. He had originally planned to see Du Jiaojiao here and take her away immediately.

"Old Du, you told me before that your daughter couldn't wait to marry me."

"Now that I'm here, why isn't she coming out?"

"Do you expect this young master to invite her personally?"

Du Weicai let out a wail of exaggerated pain: "Young Master Deng, you misunderstand. I had already agreed with my daughter that she would follow Young Master Deng and enjoy wealth and status."

"My daughter also strongly agreed and was eagerly anticipating Young Master Deng's arrival."

"But while waiting, an accident occurred."

"That bastard Mu Feng came and took my daughter away. We tried to stop him and explained that my daughter would belong to Young Master Deng in the future."

"But that little beast said..."

He deliberately drew out his words at this point, not continuing further.

Young Master Deng's expression had turned completely dark: "He dares to snatch a woman from me? Is she tired of living?"

"Don't beat around the bush, tell me what he said."

Du Weicai secretly rejoiced. He knew that people like Young Master Deng cared most about face.

He hadn't even said anything excessive. Just a slight exaggeration, and Young Master Deng was already on the verge of rage.

"He said he doesn't know any Young Master Deng at all, that you're a nobody from some unknown corner, spewing arrogant nonsense. It made me furious."

"I couldn't stand it and argued with him."

"Who knew that that little beast refused to let the factory employees play? He directly attacked me. Look at the slap marks on my face."

"It would have been enough if he had slapped me twice. I only said a few unyielding words, and he said Young Master Deng would look for him sooner or later. But then he almost tortured me to death."

"Look, my clothes are soaked with cold sweat. It was him who did this to me. He also said that if Young Master Deng felt unconvinced, he could find him anytime, and he would make Young Master Deng wish he were dead."

"Young Master Deng, perhaps you should just let it go. I think he's a madman."

"You are a person of great value, and that little beast is not worthy of being compared to you. If you go to him, you might run into a lot of trouble."

"He might even do some unpredictable things. That little beast is too arrogant; there's nothing he wouldn't do."

Young Master Deng's face was filled with simmering rage: "It's not that no one is arrogant in front of me, but those people usually end up dying miserably."

"Without exception, they all had no idea who I was."

"This little bastard doesn't know where he popped out from, to dare call me a nobody."

Du Weicai immediately chimed in: "That's right. He only recently came to our city."

"He's just a stray dog."

"Young Master Deng, you must have heard of the Mu family, right?"

"The Mu family?" Young Master Deng frowned slightly.

He had no recollection of them in his mind.

Du Weicai reminded him again: "Do you remember the sensational incident from seven years ago?"

Young Master Deng showed a look of sudden realization: "So, it's the Mu family that was wiped out long ago. Why are you suddenly mentioning them?"

"Less talk about such unlucky things in front of this young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, his eyes showing disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"The Mu family from seven years ago that had everything in their hands?"

"And the Mu Feng you mentioned earlier also has the surname Mu, and you called him a stray dog."

Du Weicai said without hesitation: "That's right, he's the remnant from back then."

"This stray dog is currently residing in my niece's villa."

"He came back because he was in a romantic relationship with my niece back then, and now he's become her kept man."

"Young Master Deng, please don't investigate further, and don't go looking for trouble with him. He's a complete lunatic."

Upon hearing this, how could Young Master Deng stand it? His eyes were filled with overwhelming fury.

"I was someone of such great standing, and it turns out to be a stray dog."

"If the Mu family still existed, I might have been wary, but now their entire family has been eliminated. Does he still consider himself the young master of the past?"

"Now I'm going to find him. I want to see what he uses to be so arrogant in front of me."

"Besides, it will probably be more satisfying to bully the young master of the Mu family from back then. I also really want to see what the young master of that era looks like now."

A faint anticipation appeared in his eyes.

The Mu family of that year could be said to truly hold immense power, while his own family was merely an unknown small enterprise at that time.

As for how they became so successful, even he himself wasn't quite sure.

His father had never told him these things.

"I'll go find Mu Feng right now. Don't worry, I will repay you for the harm he caused you, with interest."

"Also, are you sure your daughter is with him now?"

Du Weicai nodded without hesitation: "That's right, my daughter is in his hands now. He's definitely coveting my daughter's beauty."

"He's a greedy and insatiable scoundrel."

"He's not satisfied with Su Nianxue and dares to set his sights on my daughter? I will never agree, even if it means death."

Young Master Deng burst into laughter: "That's a good opportunity."

"Perhaps I'll kill two birds with one stone. I've seen Su Nianxue. She's as beautiful as your daughter in her own way."

"Although you have no strength, you are good at having daughters. One is more beautiful than the other."

Du Weicai harbored a hidden anger, but he simply didn't take him seriously. Although his words didn't intentionally mock him, they still instilled a sense of resentment in his heart.

However, he didn't dare to show it in front of Young Master Deng. Instead, he praised him profusely.

Young Master Deng felt somewhat flattered by the praise.

After he left, he immediately called his bodyguard and, after confirming the meeting time for the two of them,
