Ouyang Zhi subconsciously clicked on the video, his expression becoming increasingly shocked and solemn as time went on.
His hands trembled as he held his phone, the scene displayed in the video almost causing his worldview to crumble.
What greeted his eyes was the battle between Mu Feng and the man in black robes beneath the lake.
The unheard-of methods made his heart pound.
Ouyang Zhi exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Is that really him? It can't be a movie, can it!"
"Mr. Ouyang, you are an intelligent person. I believe you know better than anyone else whether this video is real!" the man said, smiling meaningfully.
As a well-known detective, Ouyang Zhi possessed formidable logical reasoning skills.
He could clearly discern that the video was indeed real, with no possibility of it being faked.
"This guy is so powerful? It's truly unimaginable!" Ouyang Zhi sighed, his face exceedingly grim.
The man put away his phone and smiled, "Now do you understand how powerful this person is!"
Ouyang Zhi re-examined the man, pondering for a moment, "Are you also his enemy? Looking at your expression, it seems you have a deep-seated hatred for him!"
The man chuckled, "More than a deep-seated hatred. Do you know who the person in the black robe in the video is?"
Ouyang Zhi stretched and got up from the hospital bed, "Looking at the physique and your expression, it must be your father!"
The man clapped his hands, praising, "As expected of a great detective, you're truly extraordinary. He is indeed my father. I have a blood feud with this worthless creature; I will not consider myself human if I don't kill him!"
Ouyang Zhi couldn't help but shudder. The killing intent radiating from the man before him was terrifying.
He understood that this man was definitely a formidable character. If they could cooperate, it would be of immense benefit to his own revenge.
"However, if he is truly as powerful as he appears in the video, with our combined strength, it seems we won't be able to do anything to him!"
Ouyang Zhi frowned, his resolve wavering slightly at this point.
After all, he had only been humiliated by Mu Feng and hadn't suffered any significant losses beyond physical discomfort. There was no deep-seated hatred.
The man said with a faint smile, "Mr. Ouyang doesn't need to show his face. I have my own ways of dealing with this brat!"
He paused and continued, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Sun Tianque. I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"
With that, the man named Sun Tianque extended his hand.
Ouyang Zhi hesitated, now feeling somewhat reluctant to cooperate.
After all, if they failed, he might lose his life, and the price was too high for him to accept.
Sun Tianque had already read his expression and was quite displeased.
However, he didn't show it on his face, instead smiling and saying, "Mr. Ouyang, do you think you can remain uninvolved?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ouyang Zhi's expression turned cold, and he said with a stern face, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me? No one has ever threatened me!"
"No, no, Mr. Ouyang, you misunderstand me. What I mean is, do you think Mu Feng will let you go?" Sun Tianque sneered.
Ouyang Zhi was stunned, and said in disbelief, "My grievance with him is, frankly, quite minor. Why would he kill me?"
"Then you don't understand this person. He is vindictive. The reason he only humiliated you and didn't kill you is simply because there were many people present at the time!"
"After all, killing a great detective like you would cause a huge stir. To avoid unnecessary trouble, a smart person would never act on the spot!"
Sun Tianque licked his lips, his tone full of persuasion and subtle temptation.
Ouyang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out in disbelief, "What did you say? You mean he never intended to let me go, and instead wants to kill me?"
Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his heart pounded, clearly terrified.
"That's natural. Perhaps you won't even survive tonight before being killed without anyone knowing!"
"I think with Mu Feng's capabilities, he has that power. Don't you agree, Mr. Ouyang?"
Sun Tianque squinted, staring intently at him.
Ouyang Zhi swallowed and clenched his fists, "This brat is truly detestable, not leaving me any way out!"
"So, your only chance of survival now is to cooperate with my Sun family. Only then can you live and preserve your life!"
Sun Tianque patted his shoulder, speaking with deep meaning.
Ouyang Zhi's old face turned red. After a long period of hesitation, he tightly clenched his fist, "Alright, I am willing to cooperate with you. However, with my abilities, I don't think I can pose any threat to Mu Feng!"
"Mr. Ouyang, you are too self-deprecating. You are a top detective. Do you think killing someone would stop you?" Sun Tianque's smile widened.
He patted his chest, "Mr. Sun, please be direct. How do you need my help? As long as it can take this brat's life, I will do anything!"
Sun Tianque was very satisfied with his expression. He snapped his fingers, "It's quite simple. With Mr. Ouyang's social connections, it's easy to organize a celebration banquet, isn't it? After all, with so many children rescued, he will definitely attend for the sake of his reputation. You just need to organize this banquet, and leave the rest to me!"
This matter would not cost Ouyang Zhi anything. Even if the assassination failed, it would not lead back to him.
Without thinking, he nodded directly, "I can hold this celebration banquet. As for how you plan to kill this brat, I should still have the right to know, shouldn't I!"
"Mr. Ouyang, we are merely in a cooperative relationship. Knowing too much about some matters is not a good thing; on the contrary, it can harm you!"
An inexplicable power suddenly emanated from Sun Tianque's body.
Ouyang Zhi felt a suffocating chill, and his legs went weak, causing him to fall onto the ground.
Sun Tianque's lips curved slightly, he leaned forward, and extended his hand, "Mr. Ouyang, please don't be afraid. I'm just reminding you. After all, life is more important than anything else, don't you agree?"
Ouyang Zhi gulped. He understood that it would be as easy as pie for the man before him to kill him.
