Xu Mu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"People from the Chai family have come to me. They said they're interested in my beauty pills and want to cooperate with me, but their proposed plan is really unfavorable to me."
When Feng Yue said this, she suddenly laughed. "Do you know how they threatened me? They said, 'I bet you wouldn't want people to know that you have that kind of infectious disease, right?' "
Xu Mu could tell that Feng Yue didn't seem worried.
After all, the Chai family was just an ordinary business family, while Feng Yue was now a martial artist of ancient techniques.
However, Feng Yue was still too naive. Behind the Chai family now was Fang Chu.
As the male protagonist, this guy was definitely not easy to deal with.
"I'll come over right away."
Xu Mu immediately drove to find Feng Yue. He felt that after the disappearance of the Feng family, the business landscape in Jiangbei was going to be reshuffled.
It probably wouldn't be peaceful in the near future.
...
Muyue Group.
It was located on the outskirts of Yang City, separated from the Environmental Sanitation Department by just a wall.
Feng Yue had received the cashed - out funds from Chen Cai in recent days. She had negotiated for a piece of land nearby and planned to build a building.
In the future, she intended to move her company and factory here.
Feng Yue was wearing a black long dress. In the morning sun, she looked extremely gorgeous.
Some of the surrounding employees were even stunned by her beauty.
The saying goes, "It's not just about a woman's beauty, but her charm." This was truly exemplified in Feng Yue.
After Feng Yue came out of the factory, she was going back to her office.
Currently, everything was going according to plan.
No matter how good the advertisement was, it couldn't compare to the actual effect. Her beauty pills had the endorsement of those wealthy ladies.
Many of these women were helping Feng Yue promote the pills for free.
Just then, she saw a message on her phone and a smile appeared on her face.
She turned back and headed towards the company's entrance.
Xu Mu drove a Cadillac Escalade and parked it in a parking space inside the factory.
Before he could even get out of the car, Feng Yue opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Have the people from the Chai family left?"
Xu Mu glanced at Feng Yue and asked.
"They left just a little while ago. When they found out I didn't agree to cooperate, they threatened me."
Feng Yue showed a smile.
"You still need to keep a low profile. The Chai family has recently gotten to know a martial artist of ancient techniques."
Xu Mu looked solemn. "This guy is not easy to deal with. You must be more careful."
As he spoke, he took out a Qi Sea Pill from his body and gave it to Feng Yue.
"Judging from the luster and color of this pill, it should be extraordinary, right?" Feng Yue stared at the Qi Sea Pill and asked.
"Good for you. Eat it."
On his way here, Xu Mu had been thinking for a long time.
Feng Yue was now considered his own person, and she definitely needed to improve her strength.
[Favorability +20]
"Thank you, Young Master Xu."
Feng Yue's peach - blossom eyes curved into crescents.
"Don't call me Young Master Xu. It makes us seem distant."
Xu Mu leaned back on the seat and glanced at Feng Yue.
"Then how about I call you Boss?"
Feng Yue didn't stand on ceremony either. She stuffed the Qi Sea Pill into her mouth and then said with a smile.
"Okay."
Just as Xu Mu was speaking, he noticed a thin middle - aged man at the gate.
He was wearing a black security uniform and walked out of the security room at the gate, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Xu Mu noticed him because the gentle breeze could blow up his right sleeve.
This man didn't have a right arm.
"What's going on with him? You hired a one - armed man as a security guard?"
Xu Mu pointed in the direction of the gate and asked.
"I forgot to tell you. He came for an interview yesterday. He's a martial artist of ancient techniques."
Feng Yue looked at the middle - aged man in the distance and said.
"What? A martial artist of ancient techniques?" Xu Mu frowned. "Feng Yue, you're not that stupid, are you? A proper martial artist of ancient techniques coming to apply for a security guard job. Do you think that makes sense?"
"I had no choice. He said if I didn't agree, he'd kill me."
Feng Yue shook her head slightly. "He also said he'd only stay here for a while and definitely wouldn't do any harm to the company. Moreover, he said he'd protect my safety during this period."
Hearing this, Xu Mu got out of the car and walked towards the gate.
Two possibilities immediately popped into Xu Mu's mind about this person hiding in Feng Yue's company.
First, he came for Feng Yue. Either he was interested in the beauty pills or in Feng Yue herself.
Second, he came for the Environmental Sanitation Department. Hiding in Feng Yue's company, he could just monitor the movements of the Environmental Sanitation Department.
Xu Mu now came in front of the man and activated his Divine Eye to see if he could figure out the man's identity.
Name: Zhang Que
Occupation: Security guard at Muyue Group, Farmer
Favorability: 0
Destiny Level: 6 (Max level is 10)
When Xu Mu saw this name and the man's missing arm, he was extremely shocked.
It was normal for names to be repeated.
But having the same name and the same missing arm.
The man in front of him was very likely to be one of the Two Disabled, the top combat forces in the secular world.
There was a saying: "One Madman, Two Disabled, Three Killers, Four Aristocratic Families, and the Cleaners are out of the five elements."
The Two Disabled were known as the ones with missing limbs. One was missing an arm, and the other was missing a leg.
The one missing an arm was called Zhang Que.
According to the plot, Zhang Que was cruel and killed people wantonly.
He had come from an extremely evil organization.
Everyone in this organization was an unprecedentedly great villain.
There was no record in the plot about this organization.
It was only said that this organization had long since been destroyed, and only Zhang Que remained, often appearing in people's sight.
However, very few people knew that Zhang Que was from this organization.
Xu Mu knew the plot, so he knew about it.
Those cleaners next door probably didn't know Zhang Que's past.
Zhang Que noticed someone approaching and also turned to look at Xu Mu. For a moment, he was a bit stunned.
Xu Mu looked at this middle - aged man with sunken cheeks and small eyes, looking like a wild beast.
He was even more certain that this person was definitely the legendary Zhang Que.
Just looking at his temperament and appearance, it seemed that he had many lives on his hands.
Then, Xu Mu had already guessed why Zhang Que was here.
Neither the beauty pills nor Feng Yue were enough to attract a big shot like Zhang Que.
His purpose of hiding here must be related to the cleaners.
"What's your name?"
Zhang Que held the cigarette in his left hand and looked at Xu Mu.
"My name is Xu Mu."
Xu Mu didn't lie.
"I seem to have heard of you."
Zhang Que grinned and then took another puff of his cigarette, turning to look into the distance.
"Boss... Xu."
Feng Yue also followed from behind and explained with a smile, "This man is Zhang Que. He's a martial artist of ancient techniques and my newly - hired security guard."
"You call him Boss?"
Zhang Que suddenly turned back and looked at Feng Yue. "So, is this a property of the Xu family?"
"No, this is Feng Yue's company. I'm Feng Yue's boss, and it has nothing to do with the Xu Group."
Xu Mu explained with a smile.
"Hehe, interesting."
Zhang Que raised his eyebrows in surprise. He took a few more puffs of his cigarette and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
"Senior, since you're a martial artist of ancient techniques, why did you come here to be a security guard?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
Although his expression was gentle, his muscles were already tensed up.
At the slightest sign of something wrong, he was going to take Feng Yue and retreat.
The One Madman and the Two Disabled were all individuals, yet they were as well - known as killer organizations and aristocratic families.
They must have exceeded the Grandmaster realm.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
