When Xu Da saw the predatory smile on Mu Feng's face, he couldn't help but shiver, a sense of foreboding spreading through his heart.
Mu Feng said calmly, "Since you dared to brave mountains of knives and seas of fire, then having all your bones shattered shouldn't be a serious matter for you."
"This situation is much better than you facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, don't you think?"
Xu Da trembled and pleaded, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't torture me anymore."
"Give me a chance, and I'll do anything you ask."
"I know you must really want to know who is behind all of this, and I can tell you directly right now."
As he spoke, Manager Niu, who was not far away, immediately shouted, "You can't say it! If you do, you're truly finished. He will absolutely not let you go."
"You're talking tough without any consequences! If you have the guts, come over here and try it!"
After roaring in extreme anger, Xu Da abruptly turned his head towards Mu Feng, his eyes filled with desperation. "I am truly not the mastermind behind this. You should go find him."
"It was that scumbag Manager Niu who came to me."
"He had already told me before that as long as I could research the poison formula, he would cooperate with me and would definitely find a way to get the medicinal formulas from you."
"As long as the skincare product formulas were handed over, he would immediately provide me with medicinal ingredients. Then my factory could sell the medicines in a different form using the skincare product formulas."
"I was blinded by profit, which is why I arranged for my brother to deal with you. All of this is my fault, but I was also instigated by someone else."
"Please, in consideration of me being just a victim, can you give me a chance?"
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them. "When you make a mistake, you must pay the price for your actions."
"Now, you have an opportunity to atone for your mistakes."
"As for what that news is, I don't need to say more, do I?"
Hearing this, Xu Da suddenly reacted. He pointed towards Manager Niu not far away and shouted at the employees, "Regardless of what this is about, why aren't you quickly grabbing that bastard?"
"If you can't catch him, you can all prepare to be unemployed!"
"If I die, this factory won't be able to continue, and all your generous benefits will be gone."
His voice was filled with anger, and his expression held a hint of helplessness.
He genuinely wanted to make money, but the real reason was known only to the two of them.
Manager Niu's expression changed. He hadn't expected Xu Da to push him forward as a shield.
This was truly a case of "better my friend dies than I do."
His face contorted with rage, and without a word, he turned and fled.
The employees also reacted at this moment, and without hesitation, they all chased after him.
A cold smile curved Mu Feng's lips. He didn't immediately go after Manager Niu, because he knew there was someone else instigating this. Manager Niu had been severely dealt with by him before and was already terrified.
Since the other party dared to attack him again, someone must have given him the backing.
As he had nothing else to do, he could take his time and play.
He wanted to see what kind of show these two could put on.
Manager Niu was eventually cornered. The employees didn't dare to lay hands on Mu Feng because they were too intimidated.
However, when facing Manager Niu, they had no such fear. Almost as a group, they rushed forward and tied Manager Niu up securely.
Manager Niu's face was filled with immense rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Da, you scumbag, what grudge do I have with you? I led you to wealth, and you're the first to betray me."
"Aren't you afraid that person will directly kill you?"
"You know very well what roles you and I played in this matter."
"If you dare to leak any information from that side, then you just wait to die!"
Manager Niu was also an intelligent man. He had already witnessed Mu Feng's prowess and now dared not refute anything. Thus, in his words, he had already admitted to some things.
His gaze towards Mu Feng was filled with pleading.
He hoped Mu Feng would understand the meaning of his words and stop bothering him. He had essentially said all he could.
Mu Feng wore a predatory smile and said in a cold voice, "You don't need to beat around the bush with me and do all that useless fancy stuff."
"Since you've done these things, you must pay the price for them."
"One of you two must give me a clear answer. I must know who is behind this."
"If you cannot do what I expect, then prepare yourselves."
"I will make you taste what it truly means to be worse off dead than alive. I believe Manager Niu has considerable experience in this regard."
Manager Niu shuddered at the memory of how Mu Feng had dealt with him before, and fear continuously spread in his eyes.
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "I'm giving you ten minutes to consider."
"One of you can escape this. I only need to know the truth of the matter."
"It's time to start. You can discuss it amongst yourselves."
"When the ten minutes are up, if I don't get the answer I need, you will bear the consequences."
After speaking, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and watched the two intently.
The two men knew they could not escape this.
Now, they had only one thought: to make the other person reveal the truth, so at least they wouldn't be too unlucky when that person investigated.
With this in mind, their eyes met, as if sparks were flashing between them.
Manager Niu gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Da, you know this matter better than I do, so it would be more appropriate for you to speak. Otherwise, neither of us will be able to escape."
"If any information is withheld, Mu Feng will definitely not let us go."
Xu Da became even more enraged and roared furiously, "You're talking nonsense!"
"How could I possibly know better than you? If you hadn't deliberately provoked me in the first place, would I have clashed with Mu Feng?"
"If you hadn't approached my brother first and made him do such a foolish thing, how could Mu Feng have come after me?"
"Let me tell you, from beginning to end, you were the intermediary. You played the connecting role, and I know very little about the person behind all of this."
The current state of the two was like dogs fighting amongst themselves.
