Chapter 60 He Actually Got Killed
Chen Dabao looked terrified and wanted to retreat, but with all his bones shattered, he could not even move an inch.
He could only watch as that demon-like figure slowly approached him.
Standing tall and overlooking him, Li Mu gazed down at Chen Dabao, who was now reduced to a bloody pulp.
Then, with ruthless precision, he brought his fists down, one after another, crashing against the man's head.
Chen Dabao, lying on the ground, was breathing out more than he was breathing in. Li Mu cast a gesture toward the bodyguards standing outside the door.
"He's calling for backup! Stop him quickly!"
The aloof woman on the floor cried out loudly, but Crimson paid the gesture no mind.
Moments later, two burly, broad-shouldered men burst through the entrance of the bar.
Before serving as Chen Dabao's bodyguards, these two had been the commanders of a mercenary legion.
Their actual combat capabilities were top-tier.
Seeing their young master being ground into the dirt, the two bodyguards reached the absolute limit of their tolerance!
"Let go of our young master!"
"Shut your damn mouths, and if you have the guts, try taking him away from me!"
When had these two ever suffered such treatment? With a furious roar, they charged straight toward Li Mu.
Their speed was as swift as lightning.
Before the aloof beauty could even catch a glimpse of their shadows, the two men were already standing right in front of Li Mu.
Fast as they were, Li Mu was even faster!
Just as the pair reached a distance of two meters from him, he abruptly whipped his leg forward.
His speed outpaced lightning by a distinct margin.
Before the two opponents could even register how Li Mu had moved, heavy kicks slammed squarely into their chests.
More sounds of shattering bone echoed through the air.
The two men collapsed limply onto the floor, motionless.
Never had they imagined that the mercenary bodyguards they had always taken such pride in would be beaten down by this terrifying man in a matter of mere seconds?
What kind of demonic entity was this?
Li Mu walked over and planted his foot squarely on Chen Dabao's legs.
Chen Dabao tried to scream out, but the moment he opened his mouth, a torrent of blood spewed forth.
"Do you know who I am?"
Chen Dabao attempted to plead for mercy, but his throat felt as though it had been torn apart; no matter how desperately he strained, he could not force out even the faintest sound.
"You must be wondering who I am, and you certainly want to know why I am treating you like this."
Chen Dabao gave a laborious nod.
It was the widest range of movement he could manage.
"A while ago, you made a move against a young girl in a village, eventually driving her to a state where she was crippled in a car crash just trying to escape your demonic clutches. Do you remember her?"
Lying flat on the ground, Chen Dabao let out a muffled, gurgling sound from his throat.
He had set his sights on countless young girls; heaven knew which one this monster was talking about!
Yet this was hardly the time for a thorough memory search. Gritting his stiff tongue, he could only mumble apologies over and over to Li Mu.
Judging by his reaction, he hadn't even figured out who Li Tingting was; this wasn't an acknowledgment of guilt, but rather the sheer terror of death.
Several more brutal slaps landed fiercely across Chen Dabao's face, delivered with such force that his jaw shattered.
The next second, Li Mu grabbed Chen Dabao's ankles and twisted with brutal force. In an instant, both legs were wrung into multiple sections like twisted dough.
By now, Chen Dabao was utterly incapable of producing any sound; his eyes rolled back, and he passed out cold.
A chilling, ferocious smile crept across Li Mu's face.
"The pain you have suffered is nowhere near enough. How could I let you pass out so easily?"
As he spoke, he drew two silver needles from his pocket and drove them straight into the crown of Chen Dabao's head.
Chen Dabao's eyes snapped open again as he was jerked back to consciousness.
What kind of monster was this?
Not even allowed the mercy of fainting?
Li Mu smiled faintly, then seized Chen Dabao's arms and violently twisted them.
The arms were instantly spun around several times, tearing the skin wide open and sending blood spurting everywhere!
At this moment, Chen Dabao resembled a mangled, bloody monster, lying lifelessly and flat on the ground.
The remaining bodyguards watched the scene unfold before them and dropped to their knees in unison.
"I beg you, please, spare our lives!"
Li Mu pressed close to Chen Dabao, who lay on the floor like a dead dog, a cold smile resting on his lips.
"Take him back. Looking at the state he's in now, he probably won't survive!"
Everyone present turned pale. Just what kind of background did this man have?
To dare to provoke the Chen family!
Right now, their priority was to get the young master back; whatever happened next would have to be decided by the head of the Chen family!
Li Mu sat on the sofa, while the woman beside him remained fast asleep.
"I seem to recognize this person. If I remember correctly, she is Zhang Ya, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family!"
Li Mu casually brushed a lock of the woman's hair aside. This woman was breathtakingly gorgeous!
To think that such a beauty had called off her engagement with him, only to now lie unconscious right before his eyes.
If he carried her away today, what would her reaction be when she opened her eyes tomorrow?
Li Mu reached out, intending to scoop up the person on the sofa, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
To his surprise, the caller was Wu Qiming.
This fellow practically never called him without a reason.
Li Mu pressed the answer button, and after a prolonged silence on the line, the voice delivered a piece of news.
As he hung up the phone, Li Mu's expression darkened slightly.
Who would have thought that in a small city like Yuncheng, a gang would dare to be this arrogant?
Wanfu Restaurant.
In the largest private dining room on the second floor, Pei Wanfu was indulging himself in the company of two waitresses.
A couple of days ago, their gang had actually received protection money paid by the Jiang family.
It was by no means a small sum, enough to keep him living in luxury for quite some time.
Suddenly, the door to the private room was kicked open with tremendous force. Pei Wanfu looked over with a flash of displeasure.
"Damn it, don't you bastards know what I'm doing in here—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a hand clamped down ruthlessly on his ear.
With a sharp downward yank, the ear was instantly torn in half.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you lay hands on me?!"
Li Mu applied a bit more pressure, causing the already-torn ear to split open even further.
Pei Wanfu could no longer utter a single coherent syllable; he could only clutch his ear and wail incessantly.
"Who on earth are you? I haven't offended anyone lately, dammit!"
The gripping force on his ear abruptly vanished, and Pei Wanfu turned his head, glaring with venomous eyes at the young man standing opposite him.
Li Mu, looking somewhat disgusted, wiped the blood off his hand onto Pei Wanfu's clothes.
"Who I am doesn't matter. You know very well what kind of fine deeds you've been up to lately!"
Pei Wanfu scoured his memory for a long while, yet he couldn't recall doing anything that would offend such a person.
Could it be that the Jiang family had gone back on their word regarding the protection money?
Even if they had, it was no big deal. At worst, he could just broadcast whatever dirt he had on that fellow Jiang Yusheng.
When that happened, he wondered if Jiang Yusheng's stock prices would plummet faster, or if he would manage to claw that protection money back sooner!
"Are you here to stick up for the Jiang family? Let me tell you, that money was given to me of their own free will!"
In truth, Li Mu had heard wind of the protection money matter long ago.
It was just that the affair was deeply entangled with Jiang Yusheng, and he had originally wanted no part in this muddy water.
"No, no, no. My visit today has nothing to do with that protection money!"
"Then what the hell do you want?"
