He pushed the door open and entered, his tall, imposing figure exuding an aura of pressure.
Xiao Fan pointed to the man sitting on the sofa and said, "Master, this is Chen Huai!"
Mu Jiuchen looked at the man. His features were handsome and refined, and he appeared to be around thirty years old. The moment he saw Mu Jiuchen, his eyes flickered, and he dared not meet Mu Jiuchen's cold, piercing black eyes.
With Mu Jiuchen's arrival, he felt as if he had entered purgatory.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze was stern as he looked at him.
He said coldly, "Chen Huai!"
Chen Huai nodded slightly and smiled, "As expected of Ninth Master, you found me so quickly." He pursed his lips, a flicker of fear in his eyes.
He thought he wasn't afraid, but upon actually meeting this man, he became scared.
"Why did you want to kill me? I don't know you, and I don't seem to have any enmity with you." His calm tone carried a chilling aura in the silent living room.
Chen Huai smiled faintly and after a long pause, said, "Ninth Master, does one need a reason to take someone's life?"
Mu Jiuchen pondered, "That's quite true. I want your life, but I have my reasons. Tell me, how do you wish to die?"
His indifferent words sent a chill through Chen Huai's blood. Chen Huai's fingertips trembled, and he struggled to breathe.
Mu Jiuchen's methods were swift and decisive; he would truly kill him without mercy.
But he didn't want to die yet. He hadn't yet been with the woman he loved.
He had never expected to be tracked down by him.
He slowly raised his eyes to meet Mu Jiuchen's peculiar, cold black eyes. He showed no timidity, his gaze devoid of any ripple, as if the fear from moments ago had never existed. He was calm and composed.
"Ninth Master, you are still alive. Can you spare my life?" Chen Huai asked with a smile.
Outside the window, the sunlight was dazzling, and a cold wind tore through the panes.
His hair fluttered in the wind, and the confidence on his handsome face made Mu Jiuchen curl his lips in mockery.
"Do you think I would spare you? Your confident expression suggests something I haven't anticipated." Mu Jiuchen watched him leisurely, as if looking at a dead man, with unbridled arrogance.
How could he spare someone who had tried to take his life!
"Haha..." Chen Huai burst into unrestrained laughter.
Mu Jiuchen watched him laugh from above.
It was acceptable to give a condemned man some time.
After a long while, Chen Huai stopped laughing, his eyes slightly red. He looked at Mu Jiuchen and asked with a smile, "Ninth Master, do you really dare to kill someone?"
Mu Jiuchen was losing patience with this conversation. "You'll know if I dare once you're dead, won't you? You wanted my life, the evidence is conclusive. Am I afraid of you dying?"
Chen Huai frowned, looking at the arrogant man, and then smiled again, "Then let us go to hell together today. I have also been prepared all along. If you could find me, then we die together."
Chen Huai's smile was eerie as his gaze flickered behind Mu Jiuchen.
A strange glint appeared in Mu Jiuchen's deep pupils. It seemed there was something peculiar about this.
Mu Jiuchen's hand clenched slightly. His tall, sturdy figure moved swiftly, grabbed Chen Huai by the neck, forcefully lifted him from the sofa, and then kicked him in the stomach.
Chen Huai slid across the floor for a distance before hitting the wall and stopping.
"Pfft..." He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a pain as if his internal organs had shifted.
In an instant, he looked like a stranded, dying dog, clinging to life.
He listlessly hung his head, collapsing as if on the verge of death.
Mu Jiuchen asked with a cold laugh, "You are not capable of harming me. Your account recently received two million. Tell me who is behind this, and I won't kill you. I will leave you with a broken body, a reminder of the consequences and price of doing evil."
That cold laugh sent a bone-chilling coldness through Chen Huai.
Compared to a broken body, he would rather die.
"I don't know what you're talking about? That... that's money from my business dealings? Cough cough..." Chen Huai was in great pain, his entire body aching.
His pained face no longer showed the fear from before. His pale face stared at Mu Jiuchen in terror.
Indeed, he was Mu Jiuchen. His methods were truly ruthless!
Mu Jiuchen saw that he wouldn't speak and decided to speak for him, "You don't want to reveal who's behind you, so I'll say it for you. Lin Su was released from prison two months ago. It seems she hasn't learned her lesson. This time, I will ensure that once you're in, you'll never get out."
Chen Huai's pupils trembled, his whole body shaking.
How could this be?
Impossible?
Impossible?
How could he have found out?
They had done it so discreetly!
Mu Jiuchen sneered. There was no bloodlust, only burning rage and murderous intent, an overwhelming fury. "Your methods are not even fit to carry my shoes, Mu Jiuchen. However, for the sake of my child, I will refrain from bloodshed."
Chen Huai coldly laughed, "Then what are you doing now, Ninth Master?" After speaking, Chen Huai spat out another mouthful of blood.
He weakly stood up, leaning against the wall.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him casually and said, "A lesson is necessary. You like the former big star Lin Su and are willing to do things for her. Your courage is admirable, because for my own lover, I too would do foolish things and be willing to do anything."
Chen Huai: "..."
Mu Jiuchen continued nonchalantly, "But doing such foolish things for a woman who doesn't love you is truly not worth it."
Chen Huai's gaze flickered.
Mu Jiuchen's words struck a chord in his heart. However, Lin Su was his childhood idol. She went to prison because of Jiang Nuan, and after being bailed out, she lost her former arrogance.
Furthermore, she was willing to be with him, which was why he was willing to do anything for Lin Su.
Lin Su's mind was consumed by revenge. Besides revenge, she was deeply engrossed in their relationship.
Lin Su's tenderness and affection had captivated him.
He smiled and looked at Mu Jiuchen, "Aren't you also doing foolish things for your lover? If I can do this, aren't we the same?"
"Mu Jiuchen, you have always been high and mighty. Except for those you care about, you never put anyone else in your eyes. Ruining someone's life is as simple as you saying a word."
"Lin Su committed crimes because of you," Chen Huai said, his tone agitated.
Mu Jiuchen met his gaze and said with a mocking tone, "You're really good at shifting blame. If you can't have me, you should commit crimes?"
Chen Huai choked. Indeed, Lin Su had brought it upon herself.
Mu Jiuchen looked at Xiao Fan and said angrily, "Take him and go find Lin Su."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huai clenched his fists, took out a remote control from his pocket, pointed it at Mu Jiuchen, and smiled defiantly, "Mu Jiuchen, you're right. For the sake of the one I love, I am willing to do anything. I've admired Lin Su since childhood, and I cannot bear to see anything happen to her. Let us go to hell together. I've placed a lot of explosives in the cabinet behind you. As long as I press the remote control in my hand, this place will become our hell on earth."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
Xiao Fan: "..."
Chen Huai's face was filled with ferocity and a death-defying resolve.
A cold light flickered in Mu Jiuchen's eyes. Lin Su was fortunate to have a man who would go this far for her.
