He slapped himself frantically, his mouth slurring, "Please rest assured, Mr. Mu. If I speak a single word of falsehood, I'll slap myself to death, and I absolutely won't let you be in a difficult situation!"
Mu Feng took out a small white porcelain bottle and tossed it over.
The porcelain bottle rolled onto the ground, but Ouyang Zhi dared not step forward to pick it up, fearing that the bottle contained some poison.
"Don't worry, this contains ingredients that can replenish qi and blood and treat external injuries. If you take it, you'll be out of danger!" Mu Feng said exasperatedly.
Upon hearing how effective the medicine was, Ouyang Zhi immediately asked, "Then, how many should I take now?"
"One pill a day. You'll definitely recover within three days!" Mu Feng said with absolute confidence.
Ouyang Zhi tightly clasped the small porcelain bottle, understanding that it was equivalent to his second life.
He didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately poured out a pill from the bottle and swallowed it dry.
A shocking scene unfolded. Ouyang Zhi immediately felt a gentle force repairing his body.
After about five minutes, his complexion gradually became rosy. He knew he had been saved.
He instinctively touched his neck and was dumbfounded to see that the deep wound on his neck had miraculously vanished.
It was as if he had never been injured, and even the slightest bit of pain had disappeared.
"It's... it's healed?" His teeth chattered uncontrollably.
Mu Feng joked, "How about I cut your neck again? It seems you quite enjoy the taste of being bled!"
Ouyang Zhi shook his head frantically, "No, no, Mr. Mu, you're too much of a joker. If you cut me again, my life will truly be forfeit!"
He didn't want to stay there for another moment, desperate to leave this place he considered a hotbed of trouble.
"Um, I have many cases to handle outside, so I won't bother you any longer!" With that, he lowered his head and prepared to leave.
However, Mu Feng naturally wouldn't let him go. He immediately walked over and blocked the backstage exit.
"What? Leaving just like that? Which ear did you hear me say I was letting you go?"
Ouyang Zhi froze and gasped, "This, this, didn't you just say you wouldn't kill me?"
"I'm just not killing you for the moment. If you want me to let you go, I advise you to do as I say. But you must understand, I can deal with you at any time!" Mu Feng made a throat-slitting gesture.
Ouyang Zhi was now in a dilemma, understanding that he could not leave so easily.
Terrified, he fell to his knees again, "Mr. Mu, please tell me, I'll do anything you say!"
At this moment, Ouyang Zhi had lost all semblance of a top detective. His kneeling posture was as pathetic as it could get.
Mu Feng rubbed his nose and said, "I don't know where the Sun family is. You just need to take me there. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
This Sun family must be eliminated, otherwise, it would lead to widespread suffering.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhi couldn't help but gasp, "What? Mr. Mu, you're not planning to cause trouble for the Sun family, are you!"
"Of course, why else would I go there? To deliver gifts?" Mu Feng scoffed.
He immediately shook his head, "I really don't mean that. I just think it's not appropriate. The Sun family's strength is formidable. Although this person is the head of the Sun family, his strength within the Sun family is only mid-to-upper tier. The Sun family has several old fellows guarding it, and they are incredibly powerful, not something ordinary people can deal with!"
"A hundred of them couldn't do anything to me, understand? You just need to lead the way, you don't need to say so much!" Mu Feng said with some impatience.
Ouyang Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood, I will be honest. Mr. Mu, we can depart anytime!"
"Wait for my notice. I expect to see you at my mine in two hours. Do not act rashly. If you dare to escape, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can kill you at any time!"
Ouyang Zhi did not doubt him. This young man before him exuded an air of mystery; perhaps he truly possessed such abilities.
"Take care of yourself. Oh, and you can handle things here backstage yourself!" Mu Feng patted his shoulder and then left.
Watching his receding back, the stone in Ouyang Zhi's heart finally settled.
"This was too close, I almost lost my life. Should I escape now?" A bold idea sparked in Ouyang Zhi's mind.
However, he quickly dismissed the thought. After all, Mu Feng had explicitly stated that even if he escaped far away, he would not escape death.
Ouyang Zhi, filled with the fear of death, dared not act rashly, lest he face retaliation.
After about an hour, Mu Feng, in the mine office, saw Ouyang Zhi.
He bowed deeply to Mu Feng, "Mr. Mu, I am ready. We can depart anytime!"
Mu Feng nodded, "Very good, then let us set off now!"
The Sun family was located on a mountain range in the northwestern region of China, remote and secluded like a paradise. Their internal architecture still retained ancient styles.
For outsiders, finding the entrance to the Sun family was harder than climbing to heaven.
However, Ouyang Zhi, being a top detective, was not hindered by finding the Sun family's location.
In just over an hour, he drove Mu Feng to the mountain range where the Sun family resided.
Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, someone had already been waiting for a long time.
A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses jogged over, opened the car door, and welcomed Ouyang Zhi out.
"Teacher Ouyang, you're finally here. If you didn't come soon, the Sun family would have mobilized their entire force tomorrow morning!"
This young man was Ouyang Zhi's student and considered a trusted subordinate.
Ouyang Zhi asked in surprise, "Mobilized their entire force? What do they intend to do?"
"Their patriarch was killed by that fellow Mu Feng, so..."
He trailed off, his words catching in his throat, as the young man suddenly realized Mu Feng was sitting in the back seat.
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "It's fine, you can continue speaking!"
Ouyang Zhi nodded, "Continue, don't hide anything, otherwise Mr. Mu will absolutely not let you off!"
This young man was also astute. He knew Ouyang Zhi's situation was dire, and he was clearly being coerced.
If he were to offend this "god of death" Mu Feng any further, his life would be at risk.
