Chapter 28 Who Made Me So Soft-Hearted?

"Contact has been lost!"

Staring blankly at the system, which showed that the connection with Luo Qianhua had been severed, meaning that the other party was completely dead.

I sighed with regret, what a pity for such a renowned doctor.

After pausing for a moment, Shen Che took out the Worry-Free Pill given to him by the Mu family, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

After a quick makeover, Shen Che prepared to explore the Mu family under the cover of night.

Chen Chuan used to be knowledgeable in disguise and light-body skills, and these skills eventually came into his possession. Now it's time to put them to good use.

His figure streaked across the night sky, drifting towards the main hall of the Mu family. It was at this moment that Shen Che heard Mu Changming's voice.

I stopped and leaned against the roof beam, almost blending into the night.

At this moment, Mu Changming sat in the hall, while the Mu family's steward stood respectfully to the side. In front of the two stood an elderly man with a servile and wrinkled face.

The old man was pleading in a low voice, while Mu Changming looked on with disdain.

"Master Mu, Master Mu, you said that as long as you bring a hundred women to your family, you will let my daughter leave. You said it."

"Yes, I did say that, but I said one hundred girls, not one hundred women. Were all the girls you abducted girls? Obviously not!"

Putting down his teacup, Mu Changming said impatiently, "Besides, you were the one who willingly sold your daughter to our Mu family."

"What? You've already changed your mind after such a short time. Not only did I not blame you back then, I also gave you a chance. How can you be so ungrateful?"

"But they clearly said they wanted my daughter to be a concubine!"

The old man's voice rose considerably, tinged with a sob, "My daughter begged me to marry into your Mu family, and that's why I reluctantly agreed. Otherwise, I would never have sent my daughter here, even if it meant my death."

"Now you're bringing this up? Why didn't you say that our Mu family never forced you before?" He waved his hand, interrupting the old man.

"Besides, I've already given you a chance. If you bring a hundred young girls, you can exchange them for your daughter."

"If you could do that, you and your daughter would be reunited by now. It's your own fault for being useless; who else can you blame?"

"But you won't let me look around here, I've already tried my best!"

"That's your own business!" Taking a sip of tea, Mu Changming didn't even lift his eyelids. "Go back and keep trying."

"Master Mu, Master Mu, I beg you!" Seeing that Mu Changming was unmoved, the old man knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Master Mu, I've already had the constables watching us. If we continue like this, we'll definitely be exposed."

"Please, have mercy on me and let my daughter go. Give her back to me."

"You said you've been targeted by the police?" Upon hearing this, Mu Changming's expression darkened noticeably, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

Then, he glanced at the butler next to him, who immediately nodded in understanding.

"Go!" Butler Mu stepped forward and grabbed the old man, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.

Although the old man tried desperately to break free, he was like a chick in the hands of the butler, with no room to struggle at all.

"Master Mu, I beg you, I beg you."

The mournful voice kept uttering, but Mu Changming remained unmoved.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged outside, the old man stopped pleading and instead shouted sternly, "Master Mu, if you don't agree to my demands today, I will... I will report you to the authorities!"

"You let me abduct so many women, the government won't ignore it."

"He said he'd report it to the authorities! Haha, he said he'd report it to the authorities!"

Upon hearing the old man's words, Mu Changming couldn't help but burst into laughter, which appeared even more sinister under the candlelight.

"Old Shi, it was you who abducted those women, not me. Our Mu family knew nothing about it. Don't make baseless accusations!"

"Take a guess, will the authorities believe you, the kidnapper, or will they believe good people like us?"

"Report to the authorities? Go ahead, right now! Butler, tell him what the crime of human trafficking is!"

"According to the laws of this dynasty, those who abduct people shall be punished by dismemberment; their wives, concubines, children, and grandchildren shall be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane and three years of penal servitude! Those who abduct women and children shall be punished with an even greater penalty!"

"Did you hear that? Dismemberment, bone and flesh torn apart, in the end there won't even be a whole piece of flesh left. Tsk tsk..."

Unable to resist letting out a couple of soft hums, Mu Changming asked with a smile, "Go on, why aren't you going yet!"

"Master Mu!" The old man knelt down again, his face full of sorrow, and kept slapping himself in the face, the sound of the slaps echoing incessantly.

Soon, the old man's face began to swell, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Master Mu, I'm not human, I deserve to die! Please have mercy on my daughter, spare her!"

"Alright, alright!" Waving his hand, Mu Changming said with a hint of helplessness, "I can't stand people like you. Parents always worry about their children!"

"Oh well, what can I do? My biggest problem is that I'm too soft-hearted!"

"Butler, since they've gone to such lengths, then take him to see his daughter, understand?"

"This old servant understands!" Chongmu Changming bowed slightly, and then the steward whispered to the old man, "Hurry up and follow, don't get in the master's way."

"Yes, yes, I'll be right away." He quickly got up, bowed, and followed Butler Mu away.

After taking only two steps, the old man turned around again, and Oki Chomei bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Master Mu, thank you, Master Mu."

"Alright, go ahead!"

"Yes, let's go, let's go right away!" Following behind the butler, the old man kept his body bowed, appearing extremely humble.

Following the butler, we walked through the corridor, through the distant courtyards, and across several gates before finally arriving at a garden.

Under the moonlight, the flowers in this garden were not clearly visible, but one could still vaguely tell that the garden was in full bloom.

Upon arriving here, you can smell a wonderful fragrance that is so refreshing that you can't help but take a few more sniffs.

"Butler, where is my daughter? I can't see her anywhere." Seeing the butler stop, the old man also stopped.

But when he looked around, there was no one in the garden except for the flowers, and he couldn't see any sign of his daughter.

"Your daughter, isn't she right here!"

He pulled a dagger from his sleeve and plunged it into the old man's chest.

In an instant, blood gushed out, spraying onto the flowers and making them appear even more beautiful.

"Look how beautiful those flowers are! I can't even tell which one was nurtured by your daughter."

"After you bury it here, you can search for it yourself!"

"You!" The old man struggled to raise his finger at the other person, wanting to say something, but he felt all his strength dissipating, unable to even speak, and could only helplessly collapse to the ground.

"Ugh, what a hassle!" He wiped the blood off the dagger, skillfully disposed of the body, and buried it in the garden.

Only then did the butler catch his breath, pat the dirt off his hands, look at his masterpiece, and nod in satisfaction.

"Originally, you didn't deserve to die here, but the master is kind-hearted."
