Ji Shi Yu Ben Zun

Chapter 38 The True Objective

"Who are you? What do you want?" Su Nianxue’s face showed a hint of panic.

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone, "You don't need to know who we are. Just do as we say. We'll give you half an hour at most. If we don't see you, then prepare to collect your father's corpse!"

"Remember not to hang up. I don't want to see anyone but you."

"Especially Mu Feng. We'll have people watching him at all times. The moment he gets within a kilometer of the hospital, you'll only see your father's dead body."

"I know you must have some suspicions. I'll send you a short video I've recorded!"

The speaker's words were icy, devoid of any emotion.

Su Nianxue took a few deep breaths, suppressing her fear and panic. "I'll be there immediately. I won't tell anyone. Can you tell me what you want? If it's money, I'll prepare cash for you right away."

"If you want something from our company, I can bring it to you immediately. There's no need to waste more time. I don't want my father to be harmed in any way."

As she said this, she quickly grabbed a pen and wrote on a piece of paper.

However, the voice on the phone erupted into hearty laughter, "It seems Madam Su values her father a great deal. Although he's a good-for-nothing with no ambition, you truly care about him."

"We'll tell you what we want when you get here."

"Don't waste time. I still haven't heard the sound of your office door opening. I'll give you ten seconds to leave the office immediately. There's no need to write anything down either; our people are monitoring you."

Hearing this, Su Nianxue's hand trembled.

She was frantically thinking of a plan.

She crumpled the paper she had written on and tossed it into the trash can.

Her gaze swept around. There were no surveillance cameras installed in her office, so they must be opposite.

Without hesitation, she walked out of the office.

Her little secretary rushed to greet her when she saw her emerge.

Su Nianxue gave her a look, pointed to the trash can in the office, then raised her wrist and gestured the time. She then turned and walked away quickly.

"What does Madam Su mean?" the little secretary asked, puzzled.

"Is she asking me to remember to take out the trash in ten minutes?"

"No!"

As the little secretary was muttering, a gentle voice sounded from behind her.

"No need to guess. She wants you to remember to take out the trash."

Turning around, the little secretary saw Mu Feng's handsome face smiling.

Her cheeks flushed slightly. "But Madam Su looked a bit off."

"There are some things I can't tell you!" Mu Feng said with a smile and turned towards the office.

Although the little secretary was a bit confused, she didn't think much of it.

What she didn't notice was that as she turned to leave and returned to her secretary's office, a slender figure silently passed behind her.

After Mu Feng entered the office, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the building opposite. He felt a gaze and gave a smile towards the other party.

His smile lasted only a moment before Mu Feng walked towards a blind spot in the office.

"Is everything ready?"

Huofeng nodded. "We prepared the surveillance the moment those people made their move."

"Now, all their actions are under our control."

"Should we make a move now?"

Mu Feng smiled faintly. "No need to rush. Wait in the office. Don't get discovered."

Then, he tossed his jacket over.

Huofeng's delicate brows furrowed. "Let me handle this small matter!"

"Those people are just ordinary underworld elements."

A cold glint flashed in Mu Feng's eyes. "When it concerns Nianxue, no matter is a small matter."

At this moment, Su Nianxue was driving and quickly arrived at the hospital.

The hospital had no underground parking, and the third basement level was the morgue.

Even the hospital orderlies rarely came here.

The click-clack of her high heels echoed crisply on the ground.

"I'm here!"

The voice on the phone suddenly hung up.

Su Nianxue's heart sank as she saw a figure walking towards her. This man was at least 1.9 meters tall and built like a tank.

A hideous scar marred his face. Just standing there, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"Welcome, Madam Su!"

"Where's my dad?" Su Nianxue asked coldly.

At this moment, she was silently praying that her secretary would see the note she left.

She didn't want Mu Feng to see it, as it would surely cause complications, especially since they were constantly watching Mu Feng.

"If you want to see your father, you can come with me directly." The man then broke into a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

Su Nianxue took a few deep breaths and quickly followed him.

Her father's safety was at stake.

She dared not be careless in any way.

The morgue door was pushed open, and an icy chill instantly swept out, making her shiver involuntarily.

Several men in their thirties and forties stood in the room, all with fierce expressions.

Their eyes were filled with ferocious and greedy smiles.

"I've never done anything thrilling in a place like this before."

"Not only is it thrilling today, but we also have such a beautiful woman. It's not a wasted life."

"The CEO of Su's Group, one of the top beauties in Qinghai City. You guys have hit the jackpot!"

The scarred man at the lead slammed the door shut.

Su Nianxue suddenly turned her head, her eyes showing clear panic. However, she maintained a semblance of composure. "Where have you hidden my dad?"

"Beautiful lady, can't you see yet? You are our true target."

"You must have called your father, but his phone is unreachable because he's been locked in a room by your Su family's old matriarch. Even this phone was given to you by the Su family's old matriarch."

Hearing this, Su Nianxue's face showed disbelief. "What do you mean?"

"My grandmother did this?"

The scarred man burst into laughter. "Very clever. You've figured out some of it."

"Your Su family's old matriarch is ruthless and poisonous. She'd even harm her own granddaughter. Her only task for us was to control you and use you to coerce Mu Feng into doing something. As for what happens to you, she doesn't care, and after it's done, she'll arrange for your silencing."

Su Nianxue's body trembled slightly and she immediately said, "If my grandmother really ordered you to do this, you wouldn't reveal her identity."
