After a moment of stunned silence, Madam Su reacted immediately and stepped in front of Mu Feng.
"What do you want to do? He just said a few words, do you have to..."
Her words trailed off as she met his ice-cold gaze, her voice abruptly ceasing.
"You are Nianxue's grandmother. I'm showing you respect, don't mistake that for an invitation to push your luck."
"You haven't learned your lesson from what happened before!"
Mu Feng's voice was calm, but his eyes were chilling enough to freeze someone.
As he took a step forward, Madam Su involuntarily retreated, moving aside.
Mu Feng didn't hesitate, walking past and grabbing the shouting Su Guoqiang.
He raised his hand and delivered two fierce slaps.
Su Guoqiang lost most of his teeth, blood and broken teeth flowing from his mouth.
His mind was so rattled that his thoughts seemed to have come to a halt.
"If you haven't figured out how you want to die yet, I can help you choose now."
Mu Feng spoke calmly as his hand went to Su Guoqiang's neck, slowly lifting him up.
Lifting nearly two hundred pounds was like lifting a sack of rags for him.
There was no weight at all.
Su Guoqiang's mind was in chaos, but the fear of death jolted him back to clarity.
He struggled fiercely, but to no avail.
The sensation of suffocation gradually set in.
His face turned purple-black, his tongue hanging out.
Madam Su dared not meet Mu Feng's gaze, the icy killing intent surging towards her like a monstrous flood.
She could only look at Su Nianxue.
"Aren't you going to do something?"
"That's your second uncle, are you just going to watch him get choked to death?"
Su Nianxue, soft-hearted, felt a sense of endless security deep within her heart seeing Mu Feng's fury.
However, she couldn't let Mu Feng actually choke her second uncle to death.
Not for any other reason than not wanting Mu Feng to be sent to prison for murder.
"Let him go!"
"If you continue, you'll really choke him to death."
A smile as warm as spring bloomed on Mu Feng's face. "Since my wife has spoken, I will temporarily spare your dog's life."
"If there's a next time, and you open your foul mouth again, I'll send you straight to the underworld."
He slowly released his grip after saying this.
Su Guoqiang crumpled to the ground like a bundle of noodles, gasping for air.
His desperate breaths, accompanied by coughing, turned his face a dark red.
In that moment, he truly believed he was going to die; the suffocating, fatal sensation still lingered in his mind.
"Scram!"
Mu Feng uttered the word calmly.
Su Guoqiang struggled to his feet and scrambled away, trying to roll and crawl to get out.
He didn't want to face this harbinger of death for another second.
Madam Su bit her lip tightly. Her expression shifted several times before she finally spoke, "Nianxue, the company is at a critical juncture. If you don't come out and take charge, the company will truly be finished."
"I was wrong in my previous decisions, and I apologize to you."
"The company will be yours to manage from now on. You are the most suitable person to be the company's chairman."
Su Nianxue bit her red lip upon hearing this.
It was her grandmother's first apology, and it was directed at her.
She hesitated, her heart conflicted. She truly cared about the company; it was her grandfather's life's work.
Her grandfather was perhaps the person who loved her the most, without exception.
But now, she didn't know how to make the decision. Instinctively, she looked at Mu Feng, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Mu Feng smiled slightly and turned to Madam Su.
"When it came to punishment, your whole family enjoyed it and spoke your minds. It's not so easy to take back what you've said."
"In the company, you all spread all sorts of vicious rumors. Now you want my wife to return and take over those messses, don't you plan to show some consideration?"
Madam Su gritted her teeth and asked, "What kind of consideration do you want?"
"I don't have much money, and I absolutely will not give you any more company shares."
Mu Feng sneered, "I won't be taking any shares from you in the short term, unless you make another mistake."
"After all, I can't be as shameless as you people."
"However, if you want to retract your words, you'll have to bear the consequences. Go to the company now, and in front of all the employees and shareholders, tell them that it was your wrong decisions that led to the company's current situation."
"And invite my wife to return as president in front of all the company's employees. Otherwise, this company might as well close down."
"It's easy for me to create a new company for my wife. Where my wife is, that is the Su Group."
Madam Su's body trembled. Just the thought of admitting her mistakes in front of so many people made her feel her old face burning.
Anger burned fiercely within her.
"You're going too far!"
These words were almost forced out from between her teeth.
Mu Feng chuckled coldly, "You think I'm going too far now?"
"When you made my wife read out a self-criticism to everyone, did you ever consider how my wife felt?"
"Now I'm just letting you experience that feeling. I haven't even made you read a lengthy self-criticism. And by the way, the longer you delay, the more Su Group's shares will drop."
Madam Su almost dug her fingernails into her palms.
If it weren't for Su Nianxue's words earlier, suggesting the company was no longer that important, she might have turned and left.
She had dared to be so reckless before because she knew how much Su Nianxue cared about the company.
Now, Su Nianxue considered Mu Feng her everything.
She dared not leave and couldn't afford to gamble. If the Su Group collapsed, the entire Su family would fall into decline, and she would no longer be able to lord over the Su family.
Having grown accustomed to luxury, the thought of living like an ordinary person was unbearable.
"Fine, I agree. I'll go to the company immediately and admit my mistakes."
The words were practically squeezed out through her clenched teeth.
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "There's one more condition."
"After you tell everyone, you will no longer interfere in any of Su Group's affairs. Everything will be handled by Nianxue."
Madam Su's eyes widened suddenly, "Impossible!"
"Then leave!"
Mu Feng turned and looked at Su Nianxue. "Wife, after the Su Group goes bankrupt, I'll buy it all up at rock bottom. Then, you'll be the undisputed owner of the Su Group, and you won't have to listen to that useless old fool boss you around."
