Zhang Youqian was still panting heavily. It took him a long time to recover.
However, the real pain began after he recovered, when he realized Mu Feng was not dead at all.
And his subordinates had died before his eyes, which naturally made him feel a sense of shared misfortune.
He staggered, and if he hadn't held onto his boss's chair, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Why is this happening? Why are you toying with me like this?" His body trembled uncontrollably.
"Why so many 'whys'? President Zhang, your acting earlier today was superb. You even fooled me!"
Mu Feng gave him a thumbs-up, full of praise.
Zhang Youqian panted heavily and said, "Why didn't you die? Why didn't you die!"
"If you had found someone smarter, perhaps they could have posed a threat to me. But that guard dog is simply too dim-witted. What can I do?" Mu Feng spread his hands in mock helplessness.
Zhang Youqian knew his situation was dire, but to save his own life, he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Can I explain? This really isn't what you think!"
Mu Feng found it amusing and nodded, saying, "I'm actually quite interested to hear your explanation. Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhang Youqian took a deep breath, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "It's like this, the security captain deliberately forced me to cause trouble for you. All of this has nothing to do with me!"
Mu Feng simply watched him: "Are you finished?"
"I'm finished. President Mu, please see the truth of the matter!" To be honest, he himself didn't believe these words.
"Do you think I should believe you or not?" Mu Feng asked meaningfully.
Zhang Youqian's eyes lit up. He saw a glimmer of hope and continued tearfully, "You must believe me, President Mu. I was forced into all of this!"
"Ah, you're truly not easy. Being forced like this must be quite tiring!" Mu Feng looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"It is quite tiring, but there's no other way. That person is too malicious. If I don't do as he says, what else can I do?"
Zhang Youqian was inwardly perplexed. How could he possibly believe such words?
Mu Feng sighed and stood up from the sofa. "Alright, since this is all a misunderstanding, I'll be going now. I think it's best if we don't meet again!"
He nodded repeatedly, "You're right. Shall I see you out?"
A heavy stone in Zhang Youqian's heart finally lifted. In his mind, his life had been saved once more.
Mu Feng shook his head, "It's too late. No need. Farewell forever!"
With that, he got up and left the chairman's office, disappearing into the night.
A faint smile touched Zhang Youqian's lips. He said in a low voice, "Kid, you're still too young. You let me go just like that? No one killed this guard dog? What an idiot, wasting such a good opportunity. But ideas are born from people. It seems I need to hold a proper meeting tomorrow. Great rewards will surely find brave men!"
With this thought, he became smug again. In his eyes, everything was blessed by God.
Ultimately, this Mu Feng was bound to die. It was merely a matter of time.
Zhang Youqian swaggered out of the office, humming a tune, ready to head back.
However, he was unaware that Mu Feng was hiding in the shadows, watching his every move.
Arriving at the company parking lot, Zhang Youqian stretched and sneered, "I have a way now. No matter how capable you are, can you be made of iron walls? Tomorrow, I'll find your residence. I don't believe you won't come out. As long as you dare to come out, I dare to run you over!"
This Zhang Youqian still wanted to take Mu Feng's life, even planning to stage a car accident.
He opened the car door and got in.
A bizarre scene unfolded. He suddenly discovered that someone had appeared in the back seat of his car without him knowing when.
Zhang Youqian was so terrified that his soul nearly shattered. He immediately turned his head.
Turning his head was a mistake. His very soul almost fragmented.
"Mu, President Mu? How can it be you? How did you get into my car?" Zhang Youqian's worldview was about to be overturned.
The rear door of his car hadn't opened, and he only had one key. How did the other person get into his car?
Mu Feng smiled and said, "President Zhang, can I take what you just said as a joke? Or is it true?"
Zhang Youqian was so scared he was paralyzed, unable to move.
He realized then that Mu Feng had heard everything he had said outside the car window.
"I, I didn't say anything!" Zhang Youqian continued to feign ignorance. In his mind, this young man would still fall for this trick.
Mu Feng got out of the car and said, "Are you really taking me for an idiot? From the moment I left your office, I never intended to let you go. I just wanted to see how foolish you could be, still wanting to kill me even now?"
Zhang Youqian couldn't believe it. "Are you kidding me? You mean you never intended to let me go?"
Mu Feng nodded, "That's right. I can let you go once, but I will never let you go a second time!"
Even if given another chance, this person would not be honest, but would only escalate his actions.
Zhang Youqian was truly terrified this time. He fell to his knees with a thud. "President Mu, things are not what you think. You must believe what I say!"
"I do believe what you just said, which is why I don't intend to let you go!" Mu Feng looked down at him.
"No, no, President Mu, if I die, the Zhang Corporation will be completely ruined! Such a large corporation cannot be without a leader!"
Zhang Youqian resorted to a sob story, wiping his tears with a runny nose.
Mu Feng said with a faint smile, "You don't need to worry about that. After you die, I will reluctantly take over the vast Zhang Corporation. The Zhang Corporation will become even stronger and wealthier in my hands. Your spirit and that of your son can rest in peace!"
"You, what are you saying? You want to take over my company too?" Zhang Youqian was completely dumbfounded. He never expected the other party to be so ruthless.
"Such a large company cannot be without a head for a day. You don't need to thank me; this is all what I should do!"
After speaking, Mu Feng grabbed him and lifted him up. Then, with his other hand, he directly gripped his neck.
Feeling a strong sense of suffocation, Zhang Youqian's old face instantly turned red from lack of oxygen.
"Let me go, let me go, I can't breathe..." He struggled desperately, trying to pry Mu Feng's hands away.
