Since the assassination attempt at Maple Waterfront, Mu Nanxun has deployed even more people to guard every corner of the villa area. Logically, this arrangement should have practically sealed off the entire Maple Waterfront, making it difficult for even a fly to escape, let alone a living person.
But the truth is, despite his seemingly meticulous arrangements, over a month has passed without any sign of anything amiss. He found neither trace of the assassin in the villa area nor witnessed him fleeing it.
What's even more puzzling is that he reappeared without a trace a month later.
If I hadn't been on high alert after the assassination attempt and hadn't slept in the study next door, I probably would have fallen for that man's trick again tonight.
The commotion in the courtyard attracted a number of men in black, and even the old man was alarmed.
"What happened?"
The old man looked at Mu Nanxun, who was coming down from the second floor, with a puzzled expression.
Mu Nanxun's expression was cold. "More than a month ago, this man's car almost hit Yi Yi on the road. The injury to my chest was also caused by him."
"Then why bother fighting? Just shoot him dead!" The old man was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring.
"Master, should I..." Qingyun prepared to draw his gun.
Mu Nanxun raised his hand to stop him, "No, we can't let him die. This person is no ordinary assassin."
"Who cares who he is! Shoot him and see how he tries to cause trouble!" The old man was always straightforward and blunt.
“Killing him will only add another corpse to the mix, and the threat to the Mu family won’t necessarily disappear. Just wait and see. If Xiao Fang can’t subdue him, I’ll go myself.”
Xiao Fang and the masked man were locked in a fierce battle, not allowing anyone else to interfere. So everyone stood aside to watch the show, also wanting to see who this masked man, who had repeatedly tried to harm the Mu family, really was!
The two remained deadlocked for a while without a clear winner, and Qingyun tried to help several times, but Xiao Fang refused.
Gradually, both of them became somewhat exhausted. Xiao Fang was slightly taller and bigger than the masked man, and eventually gained a slight advantage.
Just then, Xiao Fang delivered a flying kick to the man's mask, tearing a small piece and revealing a patch of skin on his face. The man was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Fang pressed his advantage, swinging his fist towards the masked man's head.
Just then, one of the masked man's men suddenly produced a sharp, knife-like weapon, the tip of which gleamed with an eerie light.
They actually used hidden weapons!
Xiao Fang was completely oblivious to the man's subtle movements, focusing only on his own fist.
Fortunately, Mu Nanxun noticed in time and kicked up a small piece of gravel. The gravel flew quickly toward the man's head and hit him squarely in the eye.
The masked man howled, a sharp pain shooting through his right eye, and instinctively covered it. At that very moment, Xiao Fang's fist arrived as expected, knocking the masked man to the ground.
"Shameless bastard, you even tried to ambush me!"
Only then did Xiao Fang notice the hidden weapon that the man hadn't had time to unleash, and in anger, he stomped on the masked man a few more times.
The masked man's eye was destroyed, and blood streamed down his face, with bright red blood also clinging to his tattered mask.
"Xiao Fang, look who he is." Mu Nanxun nodded his chin in the direction of the masked man.
"Yes, boss!" Xiao Fang stepped forward, grabbed the masked man who was rolling on the ground in pain, and ripped off his mask.
The face beneath the mask was a completely unfamiliar face.
