80: Chapter 080: Mu Hongwen, Is He Really That Awesome?
On the other end of the phone, Mu Tiange was startled upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words.
His pupils dilated suddenly, but his expression quickly darkened.
Before he could speak, Ye Xunhuan’s voice came through the receiver once again, “Feels great to manipulate everything from behind the scenes, doesn’t it?”
“Xunhuan, I’m truly happy for you if you’re alright!” Mu Tiange took a deep breath, his voice steady yet seemingly happy.
As if he were truly delighted that Ye Xunhuan was unharmed.
“Is that so?” Ye Xunhuan’s lips curled slightly, slowly forming a cold smile, “Are you really happy for me, or do you wish I were dead?”
“How could I possibly wish for your death?
After all, I’m your senior, and I’ve been looking forward to having a drink with you!”
“You’ll get your chance,” Ye Xunhuan said softly, “But by then, I’m afraid you won’t want to sit with me.”
Mu Tiange’s face darkened, but his voice remained very calm, “How could that be possible?
Gu Yan and I are both looking forward to the three of us gathering together!”
Upon hearing Mu Tiange mention Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately turned ashen, “Then I’m very much looking forward to it!”
“But before that, if you want to deal with me, you’d better hurry up while I’ve beaten up a police officer—they can make a big deal out of it!”
“Oh, and by the way, do you still feel comfortable wearing someone else’s shoes?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan hung up the phone without giving Mu Tiange a chance to respond.
On the other side of the line, Mu Tiange, who was driving, immediately turned utterly sullen upon hearing the busy tone in the handset, his face so dark it seemed wet, his fists clenched tightly in that moment, and there was a chilling gleam in his eyes!
“Ye Xunhuan, you’re playing with fire!” Mu Tiange ground his teeth, his face contorted with fury.
Mu Tiange was no fool; he could hear it, he could see it—Ye Xunhuan was provoking him, telling him, “I know everything you’ve done behind the scenes, Mu Tiange!”
Come at me if you dare.
But that wasn’t enough to enrage Mu Tiange.
What truly infuriated him was Ye Xunhuan’s last remark: “Do you still feel comfortable wearing someone else’s shoes?”
That was clearly a pointed statement, telling Mu Tiange that Su Guyan was once his woman, and he was merely picking up leftovers!
Mu Tiange had always been extremely proud, when had he ever been so humiliated?
At that moment, the rage in his heart was beyond words!
Then, Mu Tiange picked up his phone and dialed a number, his voice grave, “Track down a man named Ye Xunhuan, currently an employee of the Imperial Map Group!”
Without waiting for a response, Mu Tiange hung up the call.
He wanted to see how Ye Xunhuan dared to challenge him after all these years!
If Ye Xunhuan had no backing and was acting just out of pride, then Mu Tiange would show him what it meant to wish one were dead!
Night had fallen unnoticed, enveloping the entire Great Emperor.
Neon lights on both sides of the streets lit up, casting a soft glow!
The second floor of the Night Return Bar!
Xiao Jiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a room on the second floor of the bar, quietly watching the bustling street below where cars flowed like water and horses like dragons.
Tang Yurou, on the other hand, sat anxiously and restlessly on the sofa in the room.
Xiao Jiu had wanted to send Tang Yurou home to rest and deal with other matters on her own, but Tang Yurou insisted on staying, saying she couldn’t relax until she saw Ye Xunhuan safe and sound.
Seeing no other option, Xiao Jiu let Tang Yurou stay.
After an indeterminate time had passed, someone suddenly knocked on the room’s door from outside.
Before Xiaojiu could speak, the door was abruptly pushed open from the outside.
The next moment, Shanpao stepped in!
“Brother Jiu, Little Ma has brought people back!”
Xiaojiu nodded, “Let’s go take a look!”
As he spoke, Xiaojiu glanced at Tang Yurou, “Sister-in-law, wait here for me, I’ll be right back.”
Tang Yurou opened her mouth, wanting to follow Xiaojiu, but upon seeing his somewhat gloomy face, she swallowed back the words that had reached her lips and nodded somewhat woodenly.
“Ensure Sister-in-law is well guarded!” Xiaojiu ordered Shanpao.
Immediately after, Xiaojiu turned and strode outside.
After leaving the room, Xiaojiu headed directly to the basement of the bar.
At that moment, in the basement of the bar, Mu Rulin’s eyes were blindfolded, his face showing terror, “Who …
who are you guys, why …
why are you kidnapping me …”
Mu Rulin had absolutely no idea what the hell was happening.
He had just had a minor operation in the hospital, had just been wheeled into the ward, and was flirting with a beautiful nurse when suddenly a bunch of brutes barged in, knocked him out without a word, and the next time he woke up, he was here.
Moreover, his hands and feet were completely bound, and his eyes were covered, leaving him clueless about his surroundings.
you want money, right …,” Mu Rulin’s voice was filled with unmistakable terror, “however much you want, I …
I can give it to you!”
Kidnapping is invariably for money.
So Mu Rulin thought these people had kidnapped him for money.
The next moment, a dull and powerful set of footsteps suddenly resounded, followed by a heavy voice, “Money, we don’t want money this time, we want your life!”
Hearing this ominously cold voice, Mu Rulin couldn’t help but shiver from head to toe, “No …
I can give you a lot of money …”
“My dad is Mu Hongwen …”
Xiaojiu’s face was filled with disdain as he walked to Mu Rulin’s side, slowly squatted down, and harshly slapped Mu Rulin’s face twice with his hand.
“Mu Hongwen, you think he’s impressive?” Xiaojiu said coldly, “Cripple him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaojiu stood up straight.
Then Ma Yingjun gestured to the others beside him, and immediately two brutes with iron rods in hand approached Mu Rulin.
Without hesitation, the two brutes slammed their iron rods down hard onto Mu Rulin’s kneecaps.
The muffled sound and the sound of bones breaking were almost simultaneous.
Following that, a pig-like scream burst from Mu Rulin’s mouth, and he writhed on the ground, screaming in agony, his face contorted with unparalleled pain.
“Mu Dasha, enjoying it?” Xiaojiu, like a demon, slowly formed a cruel, bloodthirsty smile, “Shall we continue?”
