Chapter 376 Cruel Heart

"How could you possibly be faster than me!"

Looking at Er Zhu standing before him, Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

He knew Er Zhu was skilled, but he hadn't expected his speed to be this astonishing!

Er Zhu said nothing. He grabbed Wu Feng's ankle and yanked him down. Wu Feng's head hit the courtyard wall, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Inside the house, looking at the blood on his chest, Lin Mo slowly walked towards the door. The young master had instructed that this matter must not be exposed!

As for Wang Er Zhu, once he recovered from his injuries, Lin Mo would not let him off the hook!

Lin Mo clutched his wound and scanned his surroundings, as if trying to imprint everything onto his memory. Just then, with a loud thud, Er Zhu grabbed his collar and dragged him outside.

"Let go of me, or I'll kill your whole family!"

Lin Mo struggled and shouted, his only thought being: I absolutely cannot go with him!

Lin Mo's voice was loud, amplified in the silent night. Seeing lights turn on in a few neighboring houses, Er Zhu struck him with a hand chop, and Lin Mo instantly fainted.

The villagers had only recently settled into peaceful lives; it was better not to worry them on his behalf.

With that thought, Er Zhu opened the car door and threw Lin Mo and Wu Feng inside.

He hadn't intended to deal with these two rich spoiled brats, but since they dared to attack him, he wouldn't be polite!

Er Zhu looked ahead, a cold glint in his eyes, and then the black luxury car shot off like an arrow from a bow.

Meanwhile, at the Miao family residence in Liu Town.

In a three-story villa at the back of the Miao family compound, Miao Xiu and Miao Hao were leisurely drinking red wine.

Tonight was of great significance to them!

Tomorrow, the patriarch would learn of Wang Er Zhu's death. Without Wang Er Zhu, their strategist, the foolish patriarch would be no match for them!

"Xiao Xiu, do you really think that Wang Er Zhu will die?"

As they awaited the good news from their bodyguards, Miao Hao, swirling his wine glass, suddenly thought of a critical question.

As members of the Miao family, they understood Er Zhu's background better than most. This fellow was exceptionally skilled. All of Qin family's bodyguards back then couldn't defeat him, let alone the two people they had sent tonight!

"Of course. Xiao Hao, don't overthink it. Lin Mo and Wu Feng are top experts in Liu Town. Killing a nouveau riche is more than enough for them!"

Miao Xiu paused, then seemed to recall something and smirked with a proud, wicked grin.

He was just a nouveau riche from the countryside. Only that foolish patriarch would treat him like a treasure. It was the nouveau riche's good fortune to die at their hands!

Miao Hao said nothing, nodding in agreement. He then drained his glass. As soon as he put it down, he heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

"Look, it must be Lin Mo and Wu Feng returning with Wang Er Zhu's head!"

Miao Xiu also heard the sound simultaneously. He stood up excitedly, anxiously looking towards the entrance.

That Wang Er Zhu always acted so arrogant. Today, he wanted to see how he would act now!

*Crash!*

Just as Miao Xiu and Miao Hao were eagerly anticipating seeing Er Zhu's head, a loud crash echoed. Looking at the figures who had fallen onto the floor, Miao Xiu and Miao Hao's faces turned green!

It wasn't Lin Mo and Wu Feng bringing Wang Er Zhu's head, but Wang Er Zhu bringing their 'corpses' to settle the score!

"You two, why did you send people to kill me?"

Er Zhu glanced at Lin Mo and Wu Feng, then looked at Miao Xiu and Miao Hao with a blank expression.

As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent. Miao Xiu and Miao Hao exchanged glances, seeing the shock and panic in each other's eyes!

Lin Mo and Wu Feng were the pride of the Miao family's bodyguards, yet such experts had been killed by Er Zhu!

And in such a short amount of time!

Looking at the motionless Lin Mo and Wu Feng on the ground, Miao Xiu and Miao Hao opened their mouths, but remained silent.

"They're not dead. They're not worthy of dying by my hand!"

Seeing Miao Xiu and Miao Hao's constantly darting eyes, Er Zhu knew they were hatching some wicked plan, so he spoke.

Not dead?

That wouldn't do!

Hearing this, Miao Xiu frowned, his eyes darting around even faster.

If these two weren't dead, they would confess everything to save their own lives. Then, they would not only face Wang Er Zhu's revenge but also the patriarch's punishment. This was a blow they could not bear!

Miao Xiu secretly glanced at Miao Hao, frantically winking at him. Miao Hao looked at Miao Xiu's pocket and a flash of shock crossed his eyes!

When he first arrived, Miao Xiu had said that after Lin Mo and Wu Feng returned victorious, they would be poisoned to death. So, this kid was planning to act preemptively to save himself!

Miao Hao's palms were sweating. He had long heard that Miao Xiu was insidious and cruel, but he never imagined he would be even more ruthless than he thought!

However, this was also their only chance to survive, as the patriarch still valued Lin Mo and Wu Feng highly.

Miao Hao nodded and slowly approached Miao Xiu. Miao Hao watched Er Zhu warily, as Miao Xiu slipped a packet of white powder into Miao Hao's pocket.

Their movements were subtle, and the living room was dimly lit. An ordinary person might not have noticed, but none of this escaped Er Zhu's eyes!

Er Zhu curled his lips, looking at Lin Mo and Wu Feng on the ground with some pity.

These two were loyal to their master, unaware that their master was about to kill them to save his own life!

"Boss Wang, you've misunderstood. We didn't send them to kill you. This was all their own initiative!"

To avoid Er Zhu's suspicion, Miao Xiu stood in front of Miao Hao and offered a perfunctory excuse. Meanwhile, Miao Hao squatted down and slowly took out the packet of white powder.

This powder was a deadly poison Miao Xiu had purchased from abroad. Just a little would cause death by bleeding from all seven orifices!

Lin Mo, Wu Feng, don't blame us for being ruthless; it's because you failed in your task!

Miao Hao gripped Lin Mo's cheeks, forcing his mouth open. Just as the white powder was about to be poured in, a blur of motion flashed past. By the time Miao Hao reacted, the white powder in his hand was gone!

Miao Hao froze, only to realize that Er Zhu had appeared before him at some point, and in his hand, he held the packet of poison!

"You!"

"Miao Xiu, Miao Hao, you..."

Just as Miao Hao was about to snatch the poison back, the voice of Old Master Miao suddenly came from the doorway. Everyone turned around and saw Old Master Miao standing at the entrance, stunned.

Old Master Miao had sensed Miao Xiu and Miao Hao's wicked intentions that day. He had intended to warn them, but unexpectedly, he saw Er Zhu here!

"Patriarch, Er Zhu killed Lin Mo and Wu Feng! You must seek justice for them!"

"Yes, our Miao family already has many enemies. Losing them will greatly reduce our bodyguard strength!"

"Patriarch, we saw it with our own eyes just now, you must severely punish Wang Er Zhu!"

...

Before Old Master Miao could recover, Miao Xiu and Miao Hao rushed forward and preemptively accused him.
