So, I Am Not Your Dad

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yue was eating her meal when she noticed Xu Mu staring at her. She asked curiously, "Is there something on my face?"

"No."

Xu Mu shook his head gently. He felt that this cultivation technique was more suitable for Tantai Quan.

However, she wasn't considered one of his own people.

Xu Mu certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to elevate her strength. Of course, if she could be developed into an ally in the future, he might let her practice it.

After the meal, Feng Yue returned to her own villa.

She had been quite scared recently and didn't plan to go out for exercise for now. Instead, she decided to buy a treadmill and train at home for a few days first.

Meng Wanyue did not leave but stayed waiting here.

"Oh, right, Wanyue, here's another Qi Sea Pill for you."

Xu Mu took out another pill and handed it to her.

Fairness was his primary principle, a basic rule.

Meng Wanyue didn't stand on ceremony either. Afterwards, she cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Xu Mu sat on the sofa and used the remaining ten-draw lottery.

Let's see what good things he could get this time.

The wheel began to spin, and rewards appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a storage space.]

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. Storage space was a good thing; the bigger, the better.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a storage space.]

...

Xu Mu was a bit dumbfounded. He had obtained storage space twice in a row.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a First-Grade Natural Treasure Gift Box.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

...

Another ten-draw ended. This time, besides the two storage spaces, there was a gift box; the rest were the guaranteed minimum rewards.

Combined with the previous guaranteed rewards, Xu Mu gained a total of 300 cultivation points and 120 attribute points from this session.

He immediately allocated all of them. Clenching his fist, Xu Mu felt his body improve further.

He checked his current status panel.

Name: Xu Mu

Identity: Antagonist Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Group

Realm: Late-stage Divine Ability

Physique: 1155

Spirit: 1155

Cultivation Value: 560 (Full 800)

Destiny Power: 1142

Xu Mu nodded with satisfaction. Continuing like this, he was one step closer to the Grandmaster realm.

Next, he opened his storage space.

Its current area was now about the size of a typical family's secondary bedroom.

A car still couldn't fit inside, but it could hold an off-road motorcycle.

Xu Mu planned to buy one when he had time. With his driving skills, traveling alone on mountain roads and such would be much easier.

"President Xu... Mu-ge! Where to next?"

Meng Wanyue walked out of the kitchen, habitually calling him 'President Xu' at first but quickly correcting herself.

Xu Mu smiled at Meng Wanyue. "Let's go, Wanyue. There's going to be a good show today."

After speaking, Xu Mu and Meng Wanyue drove off together.

On the way, he messaged Zhang Kaijie and learned that he had already delivered Zhong Qianqian to Fang Chu.

From Zhang Kaijie, Xu Mu got the address. Fang Chu was currently at a small estate on the outskirts of Jiang City.

It was located right between Jiang City and Yang City, not far from the highway leading directly to Yang City.

Xu Mu immediately drove there. He first had Meng Wanyue send a message to Ye Chen, informing him of this location.

After all, Xu Mu was closer.

Meng Wanyue nodded repeatedly and immediately sent a message to Xiao Ran.

Not long after, Xu Mu arrived at the small estate.

He didn't go to the front but drove to the back of the estate.

There was a river here, with a high wall on the opposite bank.

Through his perception, Xu Mu found this spot quite good.

First, his 400-meter perception range covered most of the estate.

Second, his 100-meter sound range already enveloped the large villa inside the estate.

He could already see the figures of Fang Chu and Zhong Qianqian.

Meng Wanyue looked out the window at the distant wall and said softly, "Mu-ge, I didn't bring my backpack today. I don't have the bugs or cameras. Should we go back for them?"

"No need. My person has already infiltrated. He'll tell me what happened inside afterwards."

Xu Mu revealed a smile.

He was now more effective than any bug or camera—it was like a live broadcast, completely undetectable.

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Chu sat on the sofa, looking at Zhong Qianqian on the floor.

This Zhang Kaijie really had some skills, capturing this woman in such a short time.

Zhong Qianqian was still wearing her office uniform, her impressive figure clearly displayed.

Fang Chu made a clicking sound with his tongue.

Although not as ample as Li Yun's, they were still quite sizable to look at. Moreover, this woman was younger.

"Zhong Qianqian, I don't care who you work for. You just need to give me the formula you obtained, and I'll let you go."

Fang Chu said with a calm expression. "If you don't hand it over, I'll have to... have a deep exchange with you first."

Zhong Qianqian said coldly, "I work for the Dragon King. You'd better let me go, or he will definitely kill you!"

"I don't care about any Dragon King or Snake King. When they meet me, they're not even worthy of being called 'Old Wang'; they only qualify as turtles."

Fang Chu walked up to Zhong Qianqian. "I have little patience with women right now. I'll ask once: give it, or not?"

Zhong Qianqian's mind raced, thinking of ways to stall for time.

Slap!

Fang Chu backhanded Zhong Qianqian across the face, sending her body flying sideways.

She slid three or four meters on the floor before stopping.

Zhong Qianqian felt the world spinning, with ringing in her ears.

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth and found her fingers covered in blood.

"You... you're looking for death! Even my father never hit me!"

"Exactly, I'm not your father."

Fang Chu now stood before Zhong Qianqian and stepped on her stomach.

He bent down, grabbed the black fabric of Zhong Qianqian's office uniform, and tore it forcefully.

Several buttons popped off, and the uniform ripped open, revealing the white shirt underneath.

Seeing this, fear finally appeared on Zhong Qianqian's face.

"I know nothing about the pharmaceutical industry. When I stole the formula, I didn't look at it carefully. I really don't know anything."

Zhong Qianqian pleaded with tears. "Please let me go."

"Know nothing? You think I'm a fool?"

Fang Chu opened his phone, clicked on Zhong Qianqian's resume, which clearly stated: Medical University Ph.D.

Zhong Qianqian was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected him to even get her resume.

"Heh, haha, awkward."

"Awkward my ass!"

Thud!

Fang Chu kicked Zhong Qianqian again, making her cry out in pain. She had never suffered like this before.

"Looks like I need to turn up the intensity for you."

Fang Chu took a dagger from his pocket. With his other hand, he grabbed her hair and lifted her body.

Seeing this, Zhong Qianqian turned pale and said, "I'll give it! I'll give it, okay? The formula is in my cloud drive. Do you have a computer here?"

Hearing this, Fang Chu released Zhong Qianqian. "Some people are just cheap. Won't talk properly, have to get beaten up first."

He walked to a nearby counter, picked up a laptop, and brought it over.

Just then, his gaze suddenly shifted to the villa's floor-to-ceiling window, where he spotted two figures approaching his estate.

This place was newly purchased; aside from him and this woman, there were no other outsiders.

He looked down at Zhong Qianqian. Could they be here to rescue her?
