Ouyang Zhi was completely stunned. He never expected that this so-called expert would be so easily defeated.
Staring at the cold corpse lying on the ground, his teeth chattered in fear. He knew clearly that he was in deep trouble.
"Why? Why did it turn out like this?" He gasped, unable to accept the reality.
Mu Feng crossed his arms and sneered, "Do you still think you have me cornered now?"
Ouyang Zhi was utterly terrified, stammering, "I don't know this person at all. I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't know? That's not what you were just saying!" A killing intent flashed across Mu Feng's face.
Ouyang Zhi's complexion turned grim. He had spoken too quickly just now.
"I didn't say anything, really, I said nothing!"
Ouyang Zhi vehemently denied it. He certainly couldn't admit it, as his life would be forfeit if he did.
"Do you think I still believe you? This person has just confessed everything. Don't try to deceive me!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhi was completely dumbfounded. His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground. Tears welling up, he repeatedly slapped his thighs, "How could you betray me? If you were going to die, why drag me down with you..."
"What else do you have to say now?" Mu Feng's fists clenched, making cracking sounds.
People like him, who only cared about their own interests and were willing to sacrifice the lives of so many children, deserved to die.
With tears streaming down his face, Ouyang Zhi crawled over ignominiously, "Don't kill me, please don't kill me! This is all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
"The facts are clear. Mr. Ouyang, as a top detective, you shouldn't be this foolish!"
"Besides, I'm not foolish either. Do you think your few words can make me let you go?" Mu Feng chuckled disdainfully.
Ouyang Zhi kept panting, and after a long while, he said, "Then what exactly do you want? Compensation, then compensation. An apology, then an apology. It's no big deal!"
Mu Feng looked at him like he was an idiot and chuckled, "Are you out of your mind? Compensation? Apology? You think it ends just like that? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Then what... what do you mean?" Ouyang Zhi knew there would be no good end to this today.
Mu Feng made a throat-slitting gesture and said sternly, "I told you, you only have one path now, death. There is no second option!"
Ouyang Zhi was completely stunned this time. He said incredulously, "What? You want to kill me?"
"Of course. Why wouldn't I kill you? Your actions mean you shouldn't be alive. To put it bluntly, your existence is a waste of air!" Mu Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent. He would never let such a scoundrel go.
"How can you kill me? I'm a top detective. I have countless connections. If you dare to touch me, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Ouyang Zhi cursed through gritted teeth, still trying to threaten Mu Feng with his status.
However, Mu Feng was clearly unimpressed. He snorted, "Do you think I'm so easily threatened? Kneel down and surrender. That way, I can at least give you a whole corpse. Otherwise, I don't mind making your death even more gruesome!"
Ouyang Zhi's tone was icy, "Kid, killing someone is just a nod of the head. You need to understand that you can kill me now, but infinite revenge will await you. I hope you understand this. Once I'm dead, many people will avenge me!"
Mu Feng sighed and shook his head, "You're really too self-important. Who do you think you are?"
Ouyang Zhi's facial muscles twitched incessantly. Facing endless humiliation, he wished he could bite this young man to death.
"Kid, you've gone too far. I can guarantee that if you dare to kill me, you'll be dead within three days!" Ouyang Zhi spat out through clenched teeth.
"Dead within three days? I love challenging limits. I'd like to see if anyone will truly avenge you!"
With that, Mu Feng walked up to him and pulled him up.
"Let me go! What are you doing? What are you doing?" Ouyang Zhi struggled incessantly, but against Mu Feng, he appeared so frail.
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "They are both dead. As the mastermind, you naturally have to face justice. Otherwise, where is the fairness?"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, Mr. Mu! You know I'm a public figure. I've made significant contributions!"
Ouyang Zhi immediately caved, his tone of voice changing.
Mu Feng shook his head, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of letting you go. However, since we are acquaintances, I can give you face and let you resolve it yourself. My concession is already quite significant, you don't need to thank me!"
Saying that, Mu Feng took out a dagger and threw it directly in front of Ouyang Zhi.
He looked at the cold blade and felt an overwhelming chill. He wished he could die. Could his life still be saved?
Ouyang Zhi instinctively flung the dagger aside, shaking his head incessantly, "No, no, absolutely not! Mr. Mu, I have a lot of money. I won't take any of it. You can have it all, as long as you let me go. Everything I have will be yours!"
"Unfortunately, I only want your life. What do you think?" Mu Feng shrugged, showing no signs of compromise.
"You're really joking. We are friends, how can you lay hands on a friend?" Ouyang Zhi, seeing that force wouldn't work, resorted to playing the emotional card.
Mu Feng frowned, "When did I get a friend?"
"First time's the awkwardness, second time's the familiarity. Mr. Mu, I will be your loyal servant from now on. Please, spare my life. I promise I won't cause trouble anymore!"
Ouyang Zhi felt that wasn't enough, so he began slapping himself repeatedly.
The force of the slaps was considerable, and soon his face was swollen like a pig's head, unrecognizable.
His face burned, and he spoke with swollen lips, "Mr. Mu, you see how sincere I am. Please let me go. From now on, I will only do good deeds. What do you say?"
Mu Feng shook his head without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I keep my word. Once I've said it, you must die. There is no room for negotiation!"
Despair filled Ouyang Zhi's heart. He never imagined he would end up in such a predicament.
