68: Chapter 68 Solution

Mingxin Teahouse. A private room on the second floor.

Mu Mingzhu picked up her teacup and stood up: "Hall Master Chen, please allow this young lady to substitute tea for wine to express my gratitude for saving my life!"

Chen Hu picked up his tea and took a sip, signaling his acceptance: "Young Miss Mu, I have a question. You knew the Mu Family coveted your family assets, so why did you go out without guards?"

Mu Mingzhu gave a sorrowful smile: "Back then, my father took all the elite guards of our family to transport goods. The few who remained haven't even reached the Skin Refining Realm and are completely useless. I even suspect they have already been bought off by the Mu Family. I also thought that since this is the Prefecture City, they wouldn't be so bold. I never expected that they actually would!"

Speaking of this, a flash of fear crossed Mu Mingzhu's eyes. She could imagine what kind of fate would have befallen her had she been kidnapped.

"Then, Young Miss Mu, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Hu asked again.

"I want them dead!" At this moment, a resentful expression appeared on Mu Mingzhu's face: "As long as Hall Master Chen is willing to help this young lady, I am willing to offer seven-tenths of my family's assets!"

"Seven-tenths of your family assets?" Chen Hu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Mu Mingzhu to have such great resolve.

Moreover, he quite admired Mu Mingzhu. Since the Mu Family wanted her life, he thought it wouldn't be excessive to wipe out the entire Mu Family, would it?

The next moment, while Mu Mingzhu waited nervously, Chen Hu spoke slowly: "Seven-tenths of your family assets is unnecessary. To me, resolving the Mu Family is not difficult. How about this, I will take three-tenths!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Mingzhu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Many thanks, Hall Master Chen!"

Furthermore, the favorability rating above her head climbed to 78 points.

"In that case, first introduce the situation of the Mu Family members staying in your home!" Chen Hu said thoughtfully.

"Okay!" Mu Mingzhu nodded and introduced the situation of the Mu Family.

The main members of the Mu Family were the Mu Family Clan Chief, Mu Huairen, and his sons, Mu Tianshan and Mu Qiang. These three were the masterminds who wanted to seize her family's assets.

As for the other seven Mu Family members, they were all burly men acting merely as thugs.

One of the burly men, named Mu Sihe, had practiced basic Martial Skills. Although he hadn't reached the Skin Refining Realm, three or five burly men were no match for him.

"Alright, I understand. You stay in the Mingxin Teahouse for now. Within today, I will help you take care of them!" Chen Hu said quite confidently.

Mu Mingzhu thanked him again.

Walking out of the Mingxin Teahouse, Chen Hu quickly headed towards the Mu Family.

Arriving at the alley outside the Mu Family, he used an invisibility card.

Nowadays, the Imperial Court's influence has been declining. However, if one were to kill people blatantly, the government would still intervene.

Chen Hu had so many card items that he didn't need to do it himself at all.

He flipped into the Mu Family residence.

Chen Hu soon found Mu Sihe and the other seven burly men eating and drinking heartily in a courtyard.

Anyway, it wasn't their own property, so they didn't feel bad about wasting it.

Moreover, the Clan Chief Elder had already promised them that once they took down Mu Mingzhu's family, each of them would receive 200 taels of silver.

"Haha, life in this Prefecture City is just comfortable. There's food and drink, and no need to work. If only we could live here for a lifetime!" one of the burly men said.

"You're dreaming!" another burly man said: "Once the Clan Chief Elder takes down the Mu Family, we'll have to roll back to the village. Fortunately, the Elder also promised us two hundred taels of silver. With this silver, I can also marry a pretty wife and build a new house. That life would be absolutely wonderful!"

"Hehe, I think so too!"

"By the way, do you know how much silver this Mu Family has? I heard the servants in the mansion chatting yesterday; it's at least tens of thousands of taels. And the Mu Family has so many shops and assets. Tsk tsk, if the Mu Family is taken down, the Elder and his family will make a fortune!"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense. If that reaches the Elder's ears, you'll be in for it!" Mu Sihe, seeing this group getting more and more out of line, couldn't help but rebuke them in a low voice.

"Don't be angry, Brother Sihe. We promise not to talk nonsense in the future. Come, let's drink, I'll toast you!"

Seeing this scene, the invisible Chen Hu's mouth curled into a sneer, and then a Puppet Card appeared in his hand.

After ordering it to lock onto Mu Sihe, he commanded it to be used.

The next moment, Mu Sihe lost his sense of self and was completely controlled by Chen Hu.

"You guys keep drinking, I'm going out for a bit!" Mu Sihe put down his wine bowl and walked out of the courtyard.

Soon, Mu Sihe arrived outside another courtyard and pushed the door open to enter.

He found Mu Huairen lying contentedly on a recliner in the courtyard.

Beside the recliner were tea and snacks, and behind him stood two maidservants fanning him.

"This old dog, he really acts like this is his own home!" The invisible Chen Hu saw this scene and sneered inwardly.

Hearing the commotion, Mu Huairen opened his slightly squinted eyes a bit. Seeing it was Mu Sihe, he couldn't help but ask: "Sihe, why did you run over here?"

"Clan Chief Elder, I'm here to send you on your way!" Mu Sihe grinned, dashed forward like a cheetah, swung his large fist, and aimed it at Mu Huairen's cheek.

"Puff!" The heavy fist slammed into Mu Huairen's face, and blood splattered.

"Ah, Mu Sihe, what are you doing? Are you trying to rebel...!"

Before Mu Huairen could finish his remaining words, Mu Sihe's fist slammed into his mouth.

The two maidservants saw this scene and were stunned. When they came to their senses, they immediately screamed and distanced themselves from the two.

At this time, hearing Mu Huairen's screams, the father and son Mu Tianshan and Mu Qiang ran out of the room.

They happened to see Mu Sihe beating Mu Huairen violently, pinning him on the recliner.

Mu Huairen was already nearly seventy years old. After being beaten by Mu Sihe for several punches, he was already on the verge of death.

Apart from instinctively letting out painful cries from his mouth, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

"Mu Sihe, you animal, you dare to beat my father? Do you want to die?"

"Mu Sihe, you son of a b*tch, you dare to hit my grandfather? I'll kill you!"

The Mu father and son ran up clamoring, but they didn't expect Mu Sihe to abandon Mu Huairen and charge towards the two of them.

Following that, the screams turned into those of Mu Tianshan and Mu Qiang.

The commotion here attracted the Mu Family servants to watch. At the same time, the several burly men from Mu Family Village also arrived.

However, by the time they arrived, Mu Huairen had already breathed his last.

Mu Tianshan and Mu Qiang were also on the verge of death under Mu Sihe's iron fists.

"Brother Sihe, what are you doing? Stop!" one of the burly men shouted and stepped forward to stop him.

"Get lost!" Mu Sihe turned back with a ferocious look, staring at him fiercely and roaring, scaring the man into retreating repeatedly.

Seeing this, the others dared not step forward to stop him and could only watch helplessly as Mu Sihe beat the father and son Mu Tianshan and Mu Qiang to death.

After killing these three, Mu Sihe fled immediately.

Shortly after Mu Sihe escaped, a group of Constables arrived.

After questioning the Mu Family servants, they immediately sent people to arrest Mu Sihe.

As for Chen Hu, he had already quietly returned to the Mingxin Teahouse and informed Mu Mingzhu that he had resolved the issue with Mu Huairen and the other two.

He then disclosed to her that the perpetrator was Mu Sihe and that the Constables had already arrived at her home, telling her to just go back and handle the situation.

After Mu Mingzhu left, Chen Hu decided to do one last thing.

Once this matter was completed, Mu Mingzhu's crisis could be successfully resolved.
