Era of Magic and Martial Arts

Chapter 552 - 536: Foolish Loyal Dog?

"Discovered?"

In the back seat of the car, Feng Mu watched Gong Qi hang up the phone before asking unhurriedly.

Gong Qi’s eyes still held remnants of excitement as he said mysteriously:

"Junior brother, you would never guess—someone can actually chew on hair to taste the secrets in others’ brains. This ability is just too... perfect for our Internal Inspection Department."

Gong Qi’s face showed an extreme desire and longing.

Feng Mu squinted his eyes, habitually adjusting his glasses.

The variables brought by Gong Qi’s unauthorized actions this time were still indeterminate; in the short term, it was indeed a bit surprising, but in the long term?

Could it be an unexpected beginning, or perhaps hiding an even bigger... surprise?!!

Gong Qi sighed softly, his face full of regret, and said:

"Junior brother, we really shouldn’t have just left like that earlier; we should have captured those two people alive."

Feng Mu merely smiled noncommittally after hearing this, and said:

"Tonight time is tight, dawn is approaching; if fate allows, we will meet them again in the future."

Despite a lingering sense of regret in his heart, Gong Qi was soon replaced by excitement, and he spoke enthusiastically:

"True! Once I log into the system and hack into that assassination website, I’ll naturally be able to retrieve information on those two people.

By then..."

As he spoke, a hopeful smile appeared on Gong Qi’s face.

"An assassination website? That does sound very intriguing!"

Feng Mu squinted slightly, filled with anticipation, hoping that Gong Qi could successfully hack into that "assassination website."

If they could directly hack into the website’s administration, that would be even better.

However, these are just plans for later.

The immediate priority is still...

Feng Mu cleared his throat lightly, reminding him:

"We’re almost at the hospital; fifth senior brother, you should quickly edit the evidence."

Gong Qi immediately restrained his smile upon hearing this, nodded seriously, and then picked up his tablet to start re-editing and piecing together all the videos secretly taken or recorded tonight.

"Like this, like this, and then like this, seamlessly connected, hehe, although not a single piece of footage is fake, the final result..."

Gong Qi laughed sinisterly yet joyfully, his fingers flying across the tablet.

minutes later, the car steadily parked in the hospital’s underground garage.

At the same time, Gong Qi also just completed his task, handing the processed evidence to Feng Mu.

Feng Mu sat in the car, carefully reviewing it, then couldn’t help but give Gong Qi a thumbs up.

What can be said?

Although Feng Mu was the one who opened the door to the world of "cyber deception" for his fifth senior brother Gong Qi, he never expected Gong Qi to be so talented, able to draw inferences from one instance and excel, advancing rapidly down this path.

Such talent seemed like a cheat, leaving Feng Mu in awe.

Fifth senior brother Gong Qi truly seemed born into the wrong world.

If he were in another world, his name would certainly appear on the Forbes billionaire list!

.....

The hospital corridor was bathed in harsh white light, Feng Mu’s leather shoes tapping on the disinfected tiles.

Feng Mu disliked hospitals, feeling that even the lights here exuded the gloom of a morgue.

In a way, prisons and hospitals were alike, both locking up the living in individual "cells," serving as transit stations to death.

He couldn’t even decide which was more ominous: prison attire or hospital gowns.

Stepping out of the elevator, Feng Mu quickly entered the VVIP corridor.

In front of Qian Huan’s ward, four unfamiliar burly men stood, their suits slightly bulging. The leader was leaning slightly forward, conversing with Hou Wendong.

"It seems these are the people Wang Xinfa sent to protect Li Hanyu."

Feng Mu judged silently in his mind.

As for whether there were other motives behind this so-called "protection," one would have to ask Li Hanyu how she felt about it.

Li Bashan was also guarding the door, his eyes half-closed as if resting.

Senior sister Hong Ya was absent; she’d insisted on waiting for her junior, but she couldn’t resist the deep, passionate "tiger eyes" of the senior brother.

Can you imagine a giant over two meters tall, gazing at you with eyes as eager as a starving child? How terrifying is that "lethality"?

It’s simply irresistible!

Ultimately, Hong Ya couldn’t withstand it and had to retreat, obediently returning to the martial arts dojo to prepare a meal for her senior brother.

Feng Mu proceeded along the VVIP corridor and was blocked by the lead bodyguard ten meters from the ward.

The other held a precision instrument, its cold blue light scanning Feng Mu’s face twice.

"Biometric match, no disguise detected."

The mechanical prompt sounded, and only then did the bodyguard step aside to let him through.

Throughout the process, Feng Mu maintained just the right amount of confusion and cooperation, his brows slightly furrowed but without uttering a word.

After passing the security check, Hou Wendong quickly approached him.

He gave Feng Mu a once-over and then frowned slightly, asking:

"Did you get it done? Did you get the evidence I asked for?"

Feng Mu stopped, his expression calm as water: "Got it."

Hearing this, Hou Wendong’s eyes lit up, and his right hand instinctively reached out: "Quick, give it to me!"

Feng Mu sidestepped, his tone undeniably firm: "I need to show it to Madam first."

Hou Wendong’s face darkened, and all four bodyguards turned their heads simultaneously, fixing their unfriendly gaze on Feng Mu.

Li Bashan’s half-closed eyelids lifted slightly, his eyes discreetly scanning over the vulnerable spots on the back of everyone’s necks.

"Madam Li just got injured and needs some peace to recuperate."

Hou Wendong lowered his voice, each word squeezed out through his teeth,

"You should let me take a look first..."

"Click!"

The sound of the hospital room’s door suddenly opening interrupted him.

Standing at the door, Li Hanyu had half her face covered with blood-seeping gauze, and her other bloodshot eye looked directly at Feng Mu.

"Madam, your eye?"

Feng Mu’s voice suddenly changed in pitch, his gaze fixed on the bloodstained gauze, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably as a chilling murderous intent emanated from him.

The four bodyguards instinctively took half a step back, their muscles tense, hands at their waists.

Li Hanyu shook her head, making a calming gesture: "There was a little mishap; luckily, your senior brother and sister were here; otherwise..."

Her face still held traces of fear, but her gaze towards Feng Mu was full of absolute satisfaction.

Then, her attention turned to Hou Wendong, her expression indifferent as she said:

"Secretary Hou is kind, but I’m far from being able to sleep. I have some matters I need to ask Feng Mu about personally, so I don’t want to trouble Secretary Hou."

Hou Wendong’s eye twitched slightly, his lips moved, but he swallowed back the words he was about to say, stepping aside to clear the way.

Some unhappiness surged in Hou Wendong’s heart but soon dissipated.

Having survived several life-and-death crises, all saved by good people, he was now more than willing to befriend those of "loyalty and righteousness."

Furthermore, in a sense, Feng Mu could count as half of his lifesaver.

Of course, this didn’t stop Hou Wendong from labeling Feng Mu as a "stupid loyal dog."

And at this moment, Li Hanyu also looked at Feng Mu with a similar "loyal dog" judgment.

Only, in her eyes, this "loyal dog" was worth betting everything on.

So it was—"a master-protecting loyal dog you can go all in on!"
