The phone on the other end was quickly connected, and a hoarse, low voice came through.
"How is the situation progressing as you see it?"
"Dad, the cooperation here has been finalized. Mu Feng wasn't as stubborn as we imagined; he even proactively agreed to cooperate with us. However, he does have one condition."
The man with the triangular eyes recounted everything without hesitation. Finally, a flicker of excitement appeared in his gaze. "Dad, when that guy came to us before, we paid him no mind. After all, his origins were unknown. But now it's different. Mu Feng clearly wants to get more information from him."
"I even suspect Mu Feng just wants to expose him and all the people behind him. But this matter no longer concerns us much."
"As long as we reveal the person behind him and hand them over to Mu Feng, I believe with Mu Feng's strength, he can easily track that guy down."
"It would be greatly beneficial for us if that guy surfaces. Otherwise, he's like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, capable of delivering a fatal blow at any moment."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a decisive reply.
"We cannot believe everything Mu Feng says. Also, don't forget that Mu Feng is alone, practically an outcast. We have countless ways to deal with Mu Feng, and making him wish he were dead is simple."
"After all, he has too many considerations. But the person who appeared behind us is different. He only exposed himself, and we don't know if he has any backup plans. Cooperating with Mu Feng would be like placing ourselves on a hot stove, forcing us to take sides prematurely."
"And I believe this kind of alliance is an utterly foolish decision."
"They have contacted me now, and I have indeed agreed to cooperate with them. If you feel you cannot handle this cooperation or manage this matter effectively, I can send other family members to resolve it."
Hearing this, the man with the triangular eyes paused, then said hesitantly, "Dad, how can you be so sure Mu Feng is useless? Perhaps Mu Feng is even stronger than that guy."
"But if we truly stand on Mu Feng's opposing side, there might be no misunderstanding in our cooperation, but in other matters, Mu Feng will definitely make our lives unbearable. Not just Mu Feng; even a small command from him could bring all of us down."
He had truly witnessed Mu Feng's power and strength, especially those black-robed figures who obeyed Mu Feng's every word.
He believed that if he made any wrong decisions, Mu Feng might very well make him wish he were dead.
He had already experienced that kind of pain before. If he had to go through it again, he would rather commit suicide.
After a few seconds of silence on the other end, an aged voice finally came through: "This is my decision. Regardless of your thoughts, you must return now. I don't want to hear any more objections."
The voice hung up the phone immediately.
The man with the triangular eyes slammed on the brakes. After a full ten minutes of silence, he made up his mind. Without hesitation, he turned the car around and drove back.
However, just as he turned, before reaching the villa, he saw a car blocking the road. His eyes held confusion. Before he could clearly see who was inside, the door was pushed open.
The black windbreaker attire of the person descending from the car was too familiar. However, his pupils contracted violently, and he forced a flattering smile onto his face.
"I never expected you to come."
"That's perfect. I want to meet your young master now. I have very important information I want to share with him. I only hope that after I tell him this information, he will give me a better future."
The man with the triangular eyes knew very well that other family members might have already taken sides, leaning towards Mu Feng's opponents. However, he was acutely aware of how powerful Mu Feng was.
The men in black simply smiled faintly, saying nothing.
But the next moment, the man with the triangular eyes understood why they offered no response.
Mu Feng walked down from the car, still wearing that faint smile. "I am here now. Tell me directly, what information do you wish to impart?"
"If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, I might just take action against your family members."
"And if my investigation is correct, your surname is Ding, and you are the third eldest, often referred to as Ding Lao San within your family."
"The resources you control are very limited. Even if you secure this cooperation with our Su Corporation, this project might not be handed over to you."
When Ding Lao San heard this, his pupils contracted violently. He quickly realized the gravity of the situation. Thinking back to his father's attitude during their phone call,
He recalled and understood that his father was merely using him as a pawn.
In fact, he had already thought it through clearly. Rather than being a pawn, used by everyone in the family, it was better to break free.
With this thought, his expression became resolute. "Mr. Mu, I have made up my mind. I will stand with you from now on. No matter what conditions you set, I will agree without hesitation."
"Even if there's a fiery pit ahead, you can count on me to jump into it."
"Since we are on the same boat, I will speak frankly. Those people wanting to cause trouble for our family is secondary; they are more interested in cooperating with us. However, the person they truly want to target is you."
"If Su Shi Group encounters any trouble, they will not hesitate to strike directly at you. Our family's true desire is the medicinal formula you possess. Once they obtain that skincare formula, it would be all benefits and no harm."
"But I never thought that way. I believe that mutual win-win is the eternal path to success."
