was so contradictory; he, of all people, would be afraid of losing someone whose identity and motives were dubious. Yet, he was, terribly afraid.The thought of that little girl possibly getting hurt...This person actually knows about the Mu family Who on earth is he

Mu Xing was slightly stunned. In that moment of distraction, the man in black suddenly raised his hand and struck at her.

"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star!"

Shen Yue rushed forward to save the person, but it was too late.

Mu Xing was struck unconscious. The man in black held her by the back of her neck with one hand, lifting her up. A sharp dagger pressed against her carotid artery. A low, gravelly voice came from behind his mask, "If you don't want her to die, let go!"

The captain was shocked and cried out, “Retreat! Retreat! Everyone, fall back!”

Everyone retreated to both sides, only Shen Lue remained standing motionless, his eyes cold as ice staring at the man in black. A murderous aura surrounded him, "Aren't you just trying to save Lan Xuan Let her go, and I'll take you."

Under a black mask, the man's bloodshot eyes burned with raging fury.

It's not that simple, he also wants all those who have bullied Xu'an to pay the price!

He pressed the dagger against Mu Xing's neck, "Get out of the way!"

The sharp blade sliced through the tender skin, oozing crimson blood beads that stung Shen Lue's eyes. He gritted his teeth, stepped back, and quietly drew his hidden weapon.

The man in black saw his little move and threatened, "Want to see if your hands are faster or my knife is faster"

Shen Lue's face darkened, clenching the hidden weapon tightly in his hand to suppress his urge to strike.

The man in black took Mu Xing hostage and walked past Shen Yue, turning to face them as he retreated downhill. "Don't follow me, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shen Yue's brow furrowed, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Mu Xing. Suddenly, he noticed her drooping hand moved, and his heart leaped with joy. Little Star had regained consciousness!

As long as Little Star wakes up, she could easily escape with her skills.

Shen Lue felt a little more at ease. Afraid that Mu Xing would be harmed again, he only dared to follow from afar, trying his best to keep Mu Xing within his sight so he could observe her situation.

But even when the man in black took Mu Xing back to the stone house, he still didn't see her wake up.

Don't let him take the little star!

Shen Yue chased after him at the fastest speed he could, but he was still a step too late. He watched helplessly as Mu Xing was thrown into a helicopter and taken away.

He knew Little Star wouldn't be in any immediate danger, but he was really scared that she might get hurt.

The captain led his men slowly to catch up, watching the helicopter disappear into the horizon. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He turned to Shen Lue, who was trembling with fear, and asked, "Shen Xiaoye, what do we do now"

"Call the base's technicians right now and get a fix on the helicopter's location!"

After Shen Yue finished speaking, he took out his phone and walked aside to call the estate's bodyguard.

The bodyguard stood respectfully beside the man, holding his phone in both hands and bending over at a slight angle. He was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom.

"Grandfather Fu, Little Star has been kidnapped!"

Worried voices echoed from the speakerphone, ringing clearly in the vast room.

The man sitting on the single armchair had his brows furrowed, the bright light shining on his pale face, as if it were frosted.

He pursed his thin lips, saying nothing.

A strange, eerie stillness hung in the air.

The bodyguard felt the temperature around him drop, and he couldn't help but shiver.

On the other side, Shen Lue stood at the edge of the open space, with a thousand-zhang abyss beneath his feet.

A cold wind ruffled his hair, his figure tall and slender, like a solitary ink bamboo in a landscape painting.

He held his phone to his ear, his palm clenching so tightly that blood seeped out from beneath the bandage, sliding down his wrist and into the black sleeve.

He seemed utterly unaware of the pain, his gaze fixed on the horizon as he said, “I lost Little Star. I will definitely save her back. Please, Master Fu, hand Lanxuan over to me.”

Finally, a man's voice came from the phone, as cold as ice, "Go to Canglong and wait for my arrangements."

"Master Fu…"

Before he could say another word, the call was abruptly cut off.

Shen Yue's throat bobbed, he lowered his gaze to the twinkling stars on the screen, put away his phone, and said, "Let's go!"

- A helicopter landed in an open field on the outskirts of town.

The Black Wolf, who had been waiting here early as planned, was sitting in his car with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Seeing the man in black carrying someone down from the helicopter, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The defense on that mountain was so tight, not even a fly could get in.

I didn't expect this guy to actually sneak in and bring the person back safe and sound. He's quite capable!

The man in black threw Mu Xing into the car, roughly removing her handcuffs and grabbing a thick rope from the side. He bound her hands and feet, telling Black Wolf, "Follow the plan," before slamming the car door shut.

The black wolf extinguished his cigarette and sped away in his car.

In an angle he couldn't see, the girl in the back row slowly opened her murderous eyes...

-A deathly silence hung in the bedroom.

The man sat slumped on the sofa like a sculpture, now clad in a black suit.

His handsome face was cold and stern, his arms resting on the armrest. The exquisite black diamond cufflinks glinted in the light with a dark, subtle sparkle, highlighting his chilling aura to the fullest.

Fu Lingxiao had been sitting like this for three hours, to be precise, he had been waiting for three hours.

And his bodyguard beside him, also holding a cell phone, trembled and stood for three hours.

The bodyguard was from Canglong, with extraordinary physical strength and endurance. He was shivering not because his legs were tired, but because he was chilled by the icy aura radiating from the man's body.

He hadn't seen Master Fu look so terrifying and frightening in ages. No, this wasn't right!

This has clearly reached a terrifying new level!

As if the next second, it was about to destroy everything!

After almost half an hour, the phone finally rang. The ringtone vibrated in the air, abrupt and piercing!

Fu Lingxiao coldly opened his lips, "Take it!"

The bodyguard quickly answered, opening the hands-free.

On the phone, a low voice came: "Nan Du Pier, you bring Xiaoxuan over alone."

With just one sentence, the call was hung up.

"Call Shen Lue and tell him to bring the person to Nandu Pier immediately!"

Fu Lingxiao coldly ordered, then got up and walked out of the room.

The bodyguard trailed closely behind, at first not noticing anything amiss. Only after finishing his phone call did he abruptly realize something was wrong. He looked at the man striding ahead with long strides, a puzzled expression on his face.

"..."aint smile played on his thin lips, "Sweetheart, is there something you want to tell me"A low voice laced with laughter, a three-dimensional outline becoming more captivating under the hazy light.Mu X...
