Rescuing Li Muchen

Bihu slowly walked up to Li Mucheng, looking down at her with a cold gaze. Once as proud as a white swan, Li Mucheng now found herself in a pitiful state, which was exactly what Bihu had wanted to see.

Seeing the icy look in Li Mucheng's eyes, Bihu grinned and laughed right in her face. "Miss Li, why are you being so stubborn? The outcome is the same either way. If you just surrender now, you can save yourself a lot of trouble."

"......"

Li Mucheng clenched her teeth, saying nothing. However, her small hand, hidden behind her back, quietly grasped a pair of scissors she had managed to grab from the room during the chaos for self-defense.

Even at this moment, a glimmer of hope lingered in Li Mucheng's heart. She firmly believed that Ye Feng would come to her rescue.

But now, she no longer had the strength to run. If she were captured, Ye Feng would undoubtedly be in great danger trying to save her.

No! I can't let my teacher fall into danger! Maybe... this is just my fate...

I'm sorry, Teacher... I couldn't hold on until you arrived. I'm sorry...

I really wish... I could see you one more time...

In the next life, will you still stay by my side? Just like before, when we enjoyed the beauty of nature together on the grass.

Li Mucheng closed her eyes, as if she had seen something beautiful, and a blissful smile spread across her face. At the same time, she tightened her grip on the scissors behind her back and forcefully stabbed them toward her own neck.

"Stop her! She's trying to kill herself!"

Bihu hadn't expected Li Mucheng to have a pair of scissors hidden, but it was too late to stop her. Just as the scissors were about to pierce her skin, a small stone struck Li Mucheng's hand, causing her to drop the scissors in pain.

"What...?"

Li Mucheng gasped in pain, and the sound of the stone hitting the ground drew the attention of everyone around her. Could someone really be capable of such precision?

But when everyone turned to look, they found nothing behind them except a gentle breeze rustling the grass.

"Damn it! That stone was..."

Bihu was the first to realize something was wrong. Without hesitation, he raised his dagger and lunged toward Li Mucheng, but the sensation of the blade hitting its target was nothing like what he had expected.

The others, hearing Bihu's movements, quickly turned around, only to find that Li Mucheng, who had been leaning against the tree, was now gone. In her place stood a man with a stern expression and a murderous glint in his eyes.

"Huh?"

Bihu leaned forward, his arrogant gaze fixed on Ye Feng. It was clear that these tricks were Ye Feng's doing.

"Kid, do you really enjoy playing the hero? You should know this isn't some fairy tale. One wrong move, and you'll..."

Before Bihu could finish his sentence, he slashed his dagger toward Ye Feng's neck while simultaneously drawing a pistol from his waist, aiming to shoot.

Bihu, who took pleasure in cruelty, was also a cautious man. He knew that the stone had been thrown by Ye Feng, and anyone capable of such accuracy from such a distance had to be a formidable opponent. That's why Bihu resorted to a sneak attack—it was one of his survival tactics.

"...you'll die without a grave!"

But what happened next left everyone in shock. Before Bihu could pull the trigger, Ye Feng simply extended his fist and punched Bihu square in the face. The speed was so fast that Bihu couldn't even react.

Bihu's body flew backward like a deflated balloon, landing several meters away and slamming into a tree before collapsing motionless.

"What...? Open fire!"

Mei'er, standing behind Bihu, panicked and quickly retreated, ordering the surrounding mercenaries to shoot at Ye Feng.

As bullets rained down, Ye Feng, who had been standing on the grass, suddenly vanished. In the next second, he appeared beside one of the mercenaries.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed, and everyone turned to see the mercenary collapse in terror, his gun falling from his hand as he lost consciousness.

"A... a monster! This guy is a monster!"

A voice rang out in the crowd, and the others began to waver. Seeing this, Mei'er quickly shouted, "Don't panic! Anyone who takes him down gets an extra million!"

The promise of a reward spurred some of the more reckless mercenaries to continue firing at Ye Feng. After all, where there's a reward, there are always those willing to risk their lives for money.

"I hit him!"

One of the mercenaries, wielding a rifle, saw his bullet strike Ye Feng's shoulder. But what happened next shattered his confidence.

The bullet that had entered Ye Feng's body seemed to have no effect. It was as if it had been repelled by some invisible force and fell harmlessly to the ground.

"How is this pos..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sickening crack, and his head twisted to the side as he collapsed lifelessly.

"We can't win! It's impossible! Run!"

"A monster! He's a monster!"

"What the hell is this? Is this even real?"

......

Lying in the grass, Li Mucheng shivered as she listened to the sporadic gunfire and cries of agony outside. As for why she was lying in the grass, she couldn't quite remember. All she recalled was a sudden lightness in her body, followed by the appearance of a familiar face.

"Te... Teacher?"

"Rest now. I'll take you away soon."

Seeing Ye Feng's slightly stiff expression, Li Mucheng didn't say much. Listening to the sound of his heart beating like an engine, she felt that there was something different about Ye Feng today, but she kept her thoughts to herself.

In the blink of an eye, she found herself lying on the grass.

Li Mucheng desperately wanted to know what was happening outside, but she was also worried about Ye Feng's sudden appearance. At this moment, she would rather be captured herself than see Ye Feng harmed in any way.

"Teacher... please stay safe..."

Clutching the fox mask in her arms, Li Mucheng's heart, which had been calm, now rippled with emotion because of Ye Feng's arrival.

"......"

Looking around at the fallen bodies of her comrades, Mei'er dropped her gun to the ground. This was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.

"You... you're Li Mucheng's tutor!"

"Oh? I'm surprised you know so much about me."

Ye Feng walked calmly up to Mei'er, his face expressionless.

"Know? Hah... if we had known about you, we would never have taken this job."

Mei'er sighed, closing her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

"The boss will avenge me."

Ye Feng didn't respond. He simply reached out, placed his hand on Mei'er's head, and in the next moment, she collapsed to the ground.

"The boss? Why haven't I seen him... Never mind. I need to get Li Mucheng out of here. I can feel my body... getting worse."

Ye Feng glanced around, making sure no one had seen his current state, then turned and walked toward Li Mucheng.

It's a good thing no one saw me. Otherwise, I'd probably end up in some research lab...
