  Chen Mu quietly left the platform amidst the crowd. The exit of the platform was chaotic, with people rushing about in a state of panic, and the scene of tens of thousands of people surging out of the platform exit was spectacular. Chen Mu was unnoticeable among them, and no one would have paid attention to him.

  He let out a soft sigh, only to realize that he didn't know how many innocent people would lose their lives in the chaos. His heart felt a pang of gloom, and he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. If the explosive device on the Kesh's gauge hadn't detonated, there would have been chaos but no loss of life. If he had killed those few Kesh, he wouldn't have felt any discomfort, but now that innocent travelers were caught in the crossfire, his heart was filled with regret.

  He quickly cast aside the distractions in his mind, took a step forward and swiftly left the exit of the platform.

  As soon as he walked into the street, a sense of crisis suddenly arose. Before he could react, a group of people rushed out from the diagonal direction and surrounded him in an instant.

  When he saw that several of them had activated the meter on their hands, and their right hands were all shrouded in light, Chen Mu immediately made a rational choice to cooperate.

  "Dong Ge, it's this guy! I saw it clearly, it was him. He was the one who made the first move and caused such a big commotion! Two people from the Left family were killed by him, everyone be careful, this guy is extremely ruthless."

  A short and cunning young man jumped out, pointing at Chen Mu. The others, reminded by him, became even more vigilant.

  There were about seven or eight of them, all men, with a huge age range among them. The oldest was around 40 years old, with a pale face and no beard, but what made Chen Mu feel the most chill was the wave blade that he seemed to be controlling in his hand.

  A pale moon-colored wave blade, about the size of a palm, floated quietly above his cupped hand. From the very beginning, the wave blade had appeared on his hand and remained extremely quiet from start to finish.

  Just this move showed his matured control over his blade's waves.

  However, this middle-aged man was not the leader of the group. Their leader was a young man who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of the people in the group were around that age.

  The young man's physique was majestic, his eyebrows and eyes were dignified, although he was still young, but already had a lot of demeanor.

  He found Chen Mu's gaze on him, and involuntarily raised an eyebrow, saying in a cold voice: "Your grudge with the Zuo family is none of our business, but in Amei City, it has brewed such a great disaster. Do you think you can just leave like this?" He then ordered the short young man: "A Xing, take down his teleportation device."

  "Alright!" The short young man provocatively stared at Chen Mu for a moment before swaggering over to stand in front of him.

  Chen Mu thought for a moment and understood the current situation. He had no room to resist at all. As long as he made any movement, he would be torn into pieces immediately. He was already firmly locked in by this group of people's perception without any scruples.

  Moreover, judging from the movements and expressions of these young men, their strength is also not to be underestimated.

  Chen Mu's heart sank with a bitter smile, originally thinking that he had just escaped from the cage, but unexpectedly fell into the tiger's mouth again.

  A Xing's movements were extremely quick and neat, and in the blink of an eye, he had removed Chen Mu's degree instrument.

  A's eyes gleamed, just as he was about to pull out the card from Chen Mu Du Yi's deck, the young man in charge stopped him: "A, the result isn't out yet, you can't randomly touch other people's things! Hand it over."

  A'he spat out his tongue and honestly handed over Chen Mu's degree certificate to the leading young man.

  "Let's go, we'll take him back home, as for the outcome, naturally it will be up to the clan elder to decide."

  A man flew into the sky. The wind poured incessantly into Chen Mu's mouth and nose, this was his first time flying, although he was being carried by two people.

  The feeling of flying is truly wonderful, if I can still be alive, I must go learn aerobatics. Chen Mu couldn't help but think.

  After flying for about twenty minutes, he was taken to a large estate.

  The garden has a retro style, with rock carvings that have been eroded by the years everywhere. Many rocks are covered with moss or vines. Surrounding a lake is a square pavilion, which is made of wood and has pillars that have turned gray and old, showing that it is no longer young.

  An ancient mysterious aura came face to face, and every blade of grass and tree here filled Chen Mu with curiosity.

  "Ah Dong, who is this guy?"

  This is the most frequently asked question on their way.

  They walked along a wooden corridor of about three hundred meters. The corridor was built against the wall, and each pillar had exquisite carvings, with some places even inlaid with gold foil. The three-hundred-meter-long wall was like a giant scroll painting, depicting many vivid figures.

  Even a fool like Chen Mu knows that this long corridor costs a fortune.

  All the way, he remained silent. He doesn't even understand what this group of people is doing now. From his observations so far, it's clearly a very powerful and wealthy family with a long history.

  "Master Ning Dong, fortunately you're back early, or else you wouldn't have seen your little sister." A middle-aged man who looked like a servant hurried over as soon as he saw Ning Dong.

  "Is Little Aunt back?" Ning Dong was overjoyed, and immediately turned around to tell the others, "Everyone go back first." After saying that, he picked up Chen Mu with one hand and rushed forward, and the others dispersed in an instant.

  Ning Dong excitedly carried Chen Mu into the clan leader's chamber. His little aunt rarely returned to the manor, she lived a simple life and liked to live alone outside.

  "Little aunt!" As soon as he saw his little aunt sitting on a chair and talking to his father, he immediately threw Chen Mu to the ground and rushed up in an arrow step.

  His father immediately frowned and said in a displeased tone: "No respect for elders or youngers, someone as big as you still has no manners."

  "Ah!" Chen Mu heard a familiar voice. With difficulty, he lifted his head and suddenly saw that the person sitting on the chair was none other than Mrs. Ning, who was covering her mouth in surprise as she stared at Chen Mu on the ground.

  Ning Dong saw Ning's wife's expression and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Young aunt, do you know him?"

  Mrs. Ning soon calmed down and nodded: "Yes, it was him who fixed my father's variable mask card." Her father was the cousin of Mr. Ning Dong, and they grew up together since childhood, with a very deep affection. Mrs. Ning's father passed away when he was still young, at that time Mrs. Ning was still very small, and she spent her childhood in this manor.

  Ning Dong's father sighed: "Ai, what's the point of finding outsiders for this matter? There are many skilled card makers in our clan. You're still holding a grudge from back then."

  Mrs. Ning's expression was calm: "I've long forgotten what happened back then." She suddenly turned her face and asked Ning Dong, "Ah Dong, what's going on here?"

  Ning Dong saw his sister-in-law and asked her what was going on, so he quickly told her about the scene that had just happened in the underground passageway. Mrs. Ning had to return to the manor because of some business, and as soon as she got off the train, she was picked up and taken back to the manor, unaware of what had happened afterwards.

  Upon hearing Ning Dong's depiction of the dire situation, the kind-hearted Madame Ning's gaze towards Chen Mu suddenly became one of utter disappointment.

  When Chen Mu met the gaze of Mrs. Ning, he had an unprecedented urge to explain himself, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them hard. Because he found that although these people were not killed by him, they had a direct connection with him.

  However, for some reason, Chen Mu was extremely reluctant to let this kind-hearted madam feel disappointed in him.

  "I'm leaving." Mrs. Ning's tone was extremely calm, even calmer than before: "After all, he helped me repair my father's heirloom, Ai Yin is asking you a favor here, don't make things too difficult for him."

  After finishing speaking, she patted Ning Dong's head and then walked out.

  The ground was covered with a dull gray dust, and his mind was buzzing with thoughts.

  It wasn't until nightfall that he slowly regained his composure. The many grievances in his heart at the time gradually turned into a faint coolness, with only a bitter taste remaining in his heart.

  What else can I do? Just wait for death with folded arms? He asked himself bitterly.

  His gaze gradually regained its usual calmness, surveying the surroundings, and found himself locked in a prison cell. Everything on him had been taken away, and escaping from this cell was impossible.

  The cell was thoroughly modern in style, unlike the rest of the estate. Since he had come here, he might as well make himself at home. Chen Mu didn't want to think about it anymore. Perhaps even the concern shown by Mrs. Ning shouldn't belong to him either. He fell into a daze.

  Feeling bored, Chen Mu started exercising in the cell. The space was too small to practice anything else. Three meals a day were delivered at fixed times, and the food was quite good. Chen Mu ate with relish.

  He spent an entire week in his cell.

  Suddenly, he saw Ning Dong.

  "Since the young lady has pleaded for mercy, Father doesn't want to kill either. The feud between our family and the Left's is none of our concern. But Ah Mei City is within our jurisdiction. We've already sent someone to interrogate the Lefts. If they're the main culprits, they'll naturally be punished. I ask you, are you willing to serve labor in place of punishment?"

  Ning Dong gazed at Chen Mu with a serious expression.

  "What is meant by 'replacing punishment with labor'?" Chen Mu asked calmly. Unlike his calm expression, he was quite surprised in his heart. From Ning Dong's tone, it seemed that they were not handling this kind of thing for the first time. Had their power in Amei City already grown to the point where they could replace the Security Bureau? Even the Zu family in Dongshang Weicheng had not reached this level.

  "If you can repair the Variable Mask Card, your card-making skills should be pretty good. After repairing 200 cards, we'll let you go. How about it?" Ning Dong's expression was somewhat meaningful.

  "Alright." Chen Mu said without hesitation, no matter what, let's get out first.

  "This is the thing, here." Ning Dong handed over the bag in his hand to Chen Mu. When he saw the surprise in Chen Mu's eyes, he felt complacent and said with a hint of arrogance: "People from our Ning family won't casually take other people's things."
