If this person was simply targeting him, Mei Feng could breathe a sigh of relief.

However, if the person was after Mei Shu, then Mei Feng had to uncover his true intentions.

The man was suddenly struck by a brick on his wrist, causing him pain and dropping his dagger with a crisp sound.

Mei Feng decisively picked up the dagger and pressed it against the man’s throat, threatening, “Speak, what do you want?”

The man, not expecting to be overpowered, raised his leg to give Mei Feng a hard kick. But he didn’t anticipate that Mei Feng, this seemingly underage boy, would actually dare to wield the knife.

He had just lifted his leg, and the blade had already cut his skin. A sudden stinging pain came over him, and fear engulfed him in an instant.

He dared not move any further and quickly raised both hands in surrender, saying, “Little brat, how dare you stab me?! Let me tell you, even if you kill me, you won’t escape!”

“Speak!” Mei Feng didn’t want to waste time talking with him. He pushed the blade forward a bit more, and more blood flowed from the wound.

The man gasped in fright. “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! I was just paid to do this!”

“Who paid you? What were you paid to do?” A blizzard was brewing in Mei Feng’s eyes, cold enough to freeze one’s blood.

The man trembled with fear, swallowing hard and stammered, “I… I don’t even know who the boss is. We only communicated online. But I can tell you, you weren’t my primary target. The boss originally instructed me to follow a young girl, but when he saw you entering the room, he ordered me to follow you and find out your identity!”

Upon hearing this, Mei Feng’s face turned cold. His worst fear was finally coming true. “And then? After following me and checking my identity, what did the boss want you to do?”

“I don’t know!” The man begged with a mournful face. “Could you please keep the knife away? It’s not fun to have this thing near my throat! If you really take someone’s life, your future is over!”

“I’ll give you one more chance. Think carefully about what else you were supposed to do,” Mei Feng said, moving the blade closer.

The man suddenly wailed, “Please, don’t kill me! I’ll tell you everything! The boss wanted me to track the girl and see where she went after school. Then I followed you to this residential complex. I thought she wouldn’t come out today, and there was no need to keep following her. But 1 didn’t expect you to enter her room. The boss ordered me to continue watching you, to see what you two were doing inside the room, and he wanted me to find out who you really are.”

Mei Feng narrowed his eyes and said, “How did you contact him? Where’s your phone? Show it to me!”

The man, with no other option, complied.

He took his phone out of his pocket, found a contact, and turned the screen towards Mei Feng. “Here, it’s this person. Please, put the knife away quickly! Going any further, I’ll be killed!”

Mei Feng finally let go of the man, taking the phone and looking at the screen.

The other person was clearly using a burner phone, with little personal information available. Mei Feng glanced at the number briefly, intending to memorize it, but suddenly, a heavy darkness enveloped him from above.

Immediately after, a dull pain spread from the back of his head, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, he only saw the unfamiliar white ceiling above.

“You’re finally awake!” A familiar voice came from the bedside.

Mei Feng turned his head slightly to see Mei Shu hastily putting down the apple she was eating. She rushed to press the button on the bedside to call the doctor.

Mei Feng, for some reason, grabbed her arm. In that instant, he felt a sharp pain in his mind, and he seemed to see a very unfamiliar scene.

In that scene, Mei Shu looked withered, lying quietly on a hospital bed as if she were dead. And he was sitting in a wheelchair, looking into the room through the glass.

He slowly lowered his head and saw that his lower limbs were empty.

“Ahem!” With a sudden rush of blood and energy in his chest, his face turned pale in an instant. He bent over, clutching the bed to cough violently.

Mei Shu was truly frightened, forgetting even the upgrade notification sound that flashed in her system. She quickly called the doctor.

Mei Feng’s complexion visibly turned ash-gray, as if he had contracted some untreatable disease.

The doctor hurriedly came over to conduct a thorough examination and calmly reassured Mei Shu. “Don’t worry. He’s just experiencing nausea and vomiting due to a concussion. It’s normal, and he’ll recover with rest.”

“That’s great. Thank you, doctor,” Mei Shu said hurriedly, supporting Mei Feng to lie down again.. She gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and then asked him tenderly, “Ah Feng, do you remember who hurt you like this?”
