"I happened to be nearby at the time, but I only had a few brothers with me."
Mu Feng's voice was very calm. "The rescue process wasn't smooth, after all, the Mad Lion was no ordinary opponent. One of my brothers died."
"So, after I rescued everyone, I found out their stronghold."
"The Mad Lion had one thousand and thirty-one members. Except for a dozen who were outside, the rest were all sacrificed to mourn my deceased brother."
"This is how we first came into contact."
"You're telling me now that the Mad Lion provided that betrothal gift. Do you think I'd believe you?"
The force from his foot suddenly erupted.
Su Mingzhe let out a heart-wrenching scream. Several of his teeth had been knocked out, and blood continuously gushed from his shattered cheeks.
"Old Madam, I hope you can tell me personally, who gave that betrothal gift?"
"Su Mingzhe is dishonest, talking complete nonsense. From now on, even if he utters a single punctuation mark, I won't believe him."
"You say that person is deeply connected to the massacre of my Mu family. How should I treat him?"
The old Madam Su gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with ferocity. "Leave this matter to me. I never expected this little brat to be so ungrateful, cooperating with outsiders to deal with our own family."
"Such a beast shouldn't be allowed to live."
Mu Feng raised an eyebrow, a smile gradually appearing on his face. "I'll give you another chance. You ask him yourself."
After speaking, he walked aside. Qian Duoduo, with sharp insight, brought over a chair.
Jin Dao sat there.
Qian Duoduo whispered, "Brother Feng, why do I feel like the old Madam Su is the one pulling the strings from behind?"
"Seeing them exchange glances, it all seems suspicious to me."
Mu Feng smiled slightly. "Let's keep watching!"
Just then, the old Madam Su's cane fiercely struck Su Mingzhe's face.
Although she was old, her cane was very heavy. Such a fierce blow to the face could easily make someone dizzy.
Moreover, she deliberately aimed for his jaw, a spot where a direct hit could cause immediate unconsciousness.
Su Mingzhe, after being hit by the cane, had resentment in his eyes but dared not voice it directly. His grandmother was the only one who could save him now.
And it was indeed his grandmother who had instructed him to do this.
"Grandmother, what should I do?"
His voice was faint and slurred.
A fierce glint flashed in the old Madam Su's eyes. She whispered into his ear in the smallest of voices, "There's no other way. Only if you die can I live!"
"Can't you see it yet? Mu Feng is deliberately forcing my hand."
"He wants me to personally beat you to death."
"I really shouldn't have doted on you so much, otherwise, you might not have ended up in such a dire situation."
Su Mingzhe's eyes widened upon hearing this.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that his grandmother would want to beat him to death, all to save herself.
"Still not confessing? Then don't blame me for being ruthless and beating this ungrateful little beast to death!" The old Madam Su raised her cane high.
The heavy cane whistled through the air, smashing towards Su Mingzhe's temple.
"Bang!"
The cane missed Su Mingzhe,
Instead, it struck the ground beside him, the rebound causing the old Madam Su herself to fall to the ground.
Mu Feng had just flicked out a wisp of spiritual energy to deflect the cane. He didn't want Su Mingzhe to die just yet.
A cold, sarcastic smile played on his lips. "Old Madam, even if you can't get him to talk, there's no need to be so harsh. After all, he is your most beloved grandson."
"How could I possibly let you beat him to death with your own hands?"
"That would be against all natural order."
The old Madam Su suddenly turned her head, a flash of resentment in her eyes.
She had understood now. Mu Feng had deliberately spared Su Mingzhe.
The words she had just spoken would sow deep hatred in Su Mingzhe's heart. She knew her grandson too well; he was utterly selfish.
"Xiao Feng, he committed such heinous acts. I absolutely cannot keep this little beast. Otherwise, he will surely bring disaster to our Su family in the future. I am upholding justice!"
"Don't stop me, let me beat this little beast to death!"
Mu Feng merely gave a cold smile and didn't reply.
Su Mingzhe finally reacted now, but his limbs were dislocated, and he was completely unable to resist.
He could only roar hoarsely, "Old hag, you were the one who provided the betrothal gifts! You wanted me to cooperate with them and have them frame the Wu family."
"When the Mad Lion contacted me for the first time, I was hesitant and specifically asked for your opinion. You clearly told me to join forces with them and deal with Mu Feng together."
"Now, not only are you pushing all the blame onto me, but you also want to kill me!"
"Since we're going to die, we might as well die together!"
Qian Duoduo, listening from the side, was utterly stunned.
Mu Feng stood up and said slowly, "Regardless, you all share a blood connection with Nian Xue. No matter who among you has made a mistake, I will not kill you."
"Old Madam, I hope to receive what was lost from my Mu family today."
With that, he turned and left the villa directly.
Qian Duoduo spat forcefully onto the ground, looking at the two.
"When the rot starts at the top, the bottom will follow. Neither of them is any good."
The old Madam Su breathed a sigh of relief. She had truly feared that Mu Feng would go on a killing spree that night.
She was intelligent and a seasoned veteran. From Mu Feng's expression, she knew some things could no longer be hidden.
"Xiao Zhe, don't blame your grandmother. If I hadn't been deliberately acting, Mu Feng would definitely not have let us off."
"The more I appear just, the less likely Mu Feng is to kill us, because he wants us to turn on each other."
Su Mingzhe gritted his teeth tightly. He didn't believe a single word his grandmother said.
The cold killing intent that flashed in his grandmother's eyes earlier was bone-chillingly frigid.
He was afraid he would be haunted by that look in his dreams.
"Grandmother, I know you must be doing this for my own good. Don't worry, I definitely won't resent you."
This was all he could say now. Otherwise, he had no means of movement, and even the elderly Madam could kill him.
However, a murderous intent had already formed in his heart.
If he didn't kill this old woman, Mu Feng might not have the patience and wouldn't let him live much longer.
Outside the villa at this moment.
Qian Duoduo looked with curiosity. "Brother Feng, why don't I help you find some people to deal with these two inhuman creatures? I know some brothers from the underworld. If they handle it, it will be absolutely clean and efficient."
