Chapter 18: Even Liuting and Mingtang Can't Handle Him?

Page (1/3)

Yet he could not utter a single word.

Cold sweat poured down Bai Zhu’s face. He remembered that Liuting Ming Hall had promised to deal with the matter, including Li Mu himself.

And yet Li Mu had appeared before them completely unharmed.

Could it be that even Liuting Ming Hall was powerless against him?

Only then did Bai Zhu understand what the old master had meant.

He took a step back and nearly fell to the floor, but Bai Weiwei caught him in time.

Compared with their fear, Li Xiaohong looked at Li Mu with utter disgust. “So it’s you, you good-for-nothing. You actually dare cause trouble in the Bai family? Are you tired of living? This is the Bai family! Why don’t you take a good look at yourself?”

At her words, Bai Weiwei seemed to remember something. She immediately turned and went to a table, where she pressed a small bell.

In an instant, the entire room filled with a sense of warning.

Bai Weiwei curled her lips. “Liuting Ming Hall may indeed be powerful, but most of its people are ordinary men.”

“They’re nothing like the people our Bai family has raised. Today, I’ll make sure you never leave this place alive!”

With that, she looked toward the door, waiting expectantly for the bodyguards trained by the Bai family.

But after waiting a long while, Bai Weiwei still saw no sign of them. She pressed the bell again and again, yet nothing happened.

Her face instantly turned deathly pale.

“Did you do something?”

“Yes.” Li Mu shrugged at her question. “Of course I made thorough preparations before coming here.”

“Did you think I came here to play with you?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already taken down all your experts.”

“Oh, and they’re still outside the door. Would you like to go take a look?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Weiwei fell to the floor in terror. Covering her face, she stared at him in disbelief.

“You… you… how could you?”

“What is it that I couldn’t do?” Li Mu sneered as he walked toward her.

“You Bai family really thought that raising a few special bodyguards would let you swagger around unchecked? Who gave you that courage?”

Before he had even finished speaking, Li Mu was already standing before Bai Weiwei.

He reached out and seized her by the throat, lifting her off the ground.

Choking, Bai Weiwei struggled desperately. A flush gradually spread across her fair face.

Li Mu let out a cold laugh and struck her cheek viciously with his free hand.

Smack!

The crisp sound shattered the silence. Several more slaps followed in quick succession.

Her once delicate cheeks were now red and swollen from the beating.

Several broken teeth flew from her mouth under the force of Li Mu’s blows.

Li Mu said coldly, “Bai Weiwei, choose how you want to die.”

At those words, her struggles abruptly stopped.

She glared at Li Mu in fury, but the moment their eyes met, a chill ran through her.

Good heavens—his eyes held bloodlust, murderous intent, and utter ruthlessness.

He was like a demon from hell, relentlessly tearing through the defenses of her mind. At last, she broke down and began to weep.

Only then did she understand the extent of Li Mu’s strength—and how determined he was to kill her.

Seeing her daughter in such a state, Li Xiaohong rushed forward to stop him.

But the moment she drew near, Li Mu raised a leg and kicked her hard in the stomach.

Crying out in pain, Li Xiaohong fell to the floor. When she tried to get up again, Li Mu showed no mercy. He lifted his leg once more and sent her flying ten meters, straight to the doorway.

Li Xiaohong immediately passed out.

Seeing his wife unconscious, Bai Zhu’s anguish turned to rage. He snatched up a fruit knife from the table and charged toward Li Mu.

Li Mu could only sigh helplessly.

He had not expected them to be completely insane.

They had rushed at him without the slightest concern for their own lives. Then again, Bai Weiwei was their daughter, and parents would do anything to protect their child.

Even so, Li Mu did not hold back. He reached out and struck Bai Zhu viciously across the cheek.

Smack!

Bai Zhu’s cheek instantly reddened, and the force sent him sprawling. His once-clear vision grew hazy.

The man who had been struggling moments earlier finally lost consciousness beneath the force of the blow.

Seeing that Bai Zhu and Li Xiaohong were no longer capable of moving, Li Mu turned his attention back to Bai Weiwei.

“You know my patience is limited, so tell me—where are my parents?”

“If anything has happened to my parents, I’ll make sure you regret being born!”

“And your entire Bai family will vanish from this world!”

Bai Weiwei shuddered violently at his words. She immediately raised a trembling hand and pointed in another direction.

“They’re over there. It’s an uninhabited place. We brought them there, and very few people know about it.”

“I can have someone bring them here.”

Li Mu sneered. “It’s best that you haven’t touched them. If you have…”

After Bai Weiwei was released, she gasped for breath. The moment she saw Li Mu’s expression, she knew something was wrong.

Her former anger transformed into terror. She shouted toward the outside, “Someone! Hurry and bring them in!”

Before long, two elderly figures appeared in the hall.

The moment Li Mu saw them, he rushed forward and embraced them.

“I knew our little Mu would come to save us.”

Hearing his mother’s words, Li Mu immediately examined them both. When he saw that they were unharmed, most of the fury in his heart faded away.

“I swear, I never laid a hand on either of them,” Bai Weiwei hurriedly explained when she saw that Li Mu did not believe her. “I only wanted to lock them up and question them properly. I never used force.”

Li Mu looked toward his parents.

Seeing how worried his son was, his father reached out and patted him on the shoulder. “We’re fine. Miss Bai Weiwei only locked us in a room. There was food and water inside, and she did nothing to us.”

Only then did Li Mu let out a long breath. He turned to Bai Weiwei.

“You still have a little conscience. Since you were once my fiancée, I’ll forgive you this time. But if you ever try to target my family again, I won’t object to holding a funeral for the entire Bai family.”

With that, Li Mu took his parents by the hands and led them outside.

Before long, nothing remained inside the villa but devastation.

Li Xiaohong and Bai Zhu gradually awoke from the pain, clutching the places where they had been kicked and groaning several times.

Bai Weiwei was in an even worse state. Not only had her appearance been disfigured, but several of her teeth had also been knocked out.

Her position within the Bai family was probably…
