"Ahh!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, and Lu Ziming cried out as he held the broken hand. As Xi Muqiao lifted his leg, Lu Ziming was sent flying, rolling on the ground in pain, wailing incessantly.

The sudden turn of events shocked the crowd so much that they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

When Zuo Zhen rushed over, he saw the president's cool kick. He followed the man's gaze and saw the deformed arm.

Having followed the CEO for so many years, he naturally knew that he was ruthless. However, this was the first time he saw the CEO do it personally.

Qiao Mu only felt her body lighten and then a clear voice entered her ears, frightening her to the point her teeth turned soft. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man descending like a shrine.

After staring blankly for a moment, Qiao Mu finally reacted. She let out a cry and dived into Xi Muqiao's embrace.

"Wuu wuu, uncle, why have you only just arrived? This bastard wants to rape me!"

Being caught off guard by Qiao Mu's pounce, Xi Muqiao took two steps back and hurriedly held Qiao Mu's little face. Cold tears fell on his hands, freezing his fingertips.

"Ahh, it hurts!"

He quickly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. He saw that Little Rascal's left cheek was swollen to the point that the corner of its eye was bruised. Its mouth was split open, and traces of blood leaked out.

"Wu wu, uncle, he hit me, you must beat him to death."

Qiao Mu was truly frightened and cried loudly. Waves of tears flowed down her face and when the cold wind blew, it was completely cold.

He lightly pushed Qiao Mu to the left side and then placed the mobile phone into the left side of her hand. Her cold voice made everyone shiver uncontrollably.

"Take it."

Xi Muqiao's eyes, which had originally been warm, turned cold once again. His anger slowly gathered at his brows, and he stared at Lu Ziming, who was standing to the side, with a bloodthirsty and violent look.

Taking a big step forward, he viciously punched Lu Ziming, who had just straightened up, in the face. That strength was too vicious, and in the midst of being caught off guard, Lu Ziming staggered, directly crashing into a mottled wall.

Xi Muqiao, who had punched him, probably felt that his coat had bound his movements. He undid the buttons of his coat two or three times, and just like that, the expensive coat was thrown onto the dusty floor. He then unbuttoned his shirt, rolling up his sleeves as he did so, his thin lips curling into an extremely vicious smile.

Zuo Zhen took two steps back with Qiao Mu and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. From the way the CEO was behaving, he was planning to start a massacre!

He had said long ago that Xi Muqiao was not a kind person and that he shouldn't be fooled by his appearance as an elegant young master. If he were to be ruthless and never show mercy, he would end up in a miserable state.

With his heaven-defying looks and ice-cold, powerful aura, the brothers of Lu Ziming were so scared that they didn't dare to move. They couldn't even escape.

Anyone could see that flames of fury were burning in his eyes, enough to burn everyone here to death.

Under the dim light, Lu Ziming could clearly see the face of the man in rage. A loud boom resounded in his mind, and he was instantly stunned. He couldn't even speak properly.

"Xi …"

How could Xi Muqiao have given him the chance to expose his identity in front of Qiao Mu? He raised his leg and kicked Lu Ziming's lower abdomen, sending him flying into the distance once again.

This kick was real, and in an instant, his lower abdomen turned upside down, causing Lu Ziming to twist his body in pain, cold sweat forming on his forehead.

He was scared and regretful. That was Xi Muqiao, the CEO of Xi Empire's corporation, a man standing at the top of River City. If he really wanted to kill himself, then he could have done it without leaving a trace.

If he had known earlier that Qiao Mu and Xi Mu Qiao were related, he wouldn't have dared to stop Qiao Mu even if he was given a hundred guts.

"I can't bear to hit her. Who gave you the guts to touch her?"

Xi Muqiao approached him again, gritting his teeth.

Lu Ziming wanted to speak, but the pain in his stomach made him unable to utter a single word. His eyes were filled with terror as he watched that cruel looking man approach him step by step, yet he had no way out.

The people watching watched as Xi Muqiao bent his leg, half pressing down on Lu Ziming's body. With one hand holding his collar, he ruthlessly beat up Lu Ziming one punch after the other. His cold and merciless appearance caused everyone to shudder.

"Who asked you to touch her, who gave you the guts …"

These words came out of Xi Muqiao's mouth word by word. His ruthless voice made everyone's throat become astringent.

Qiao Mu was stunned and forgot to cry. Seeing that Xi Muqiao was like a madman who had lost his mind, those punches landed on Lu Ziming's body. The sounds of the fists hitting flesh scared her.

"Uncle —"

That timid voice made Xi Muqiao pause in his actions. He turned his head to look, but there was no trace of the viciousness in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ziming.

"Don't, don't hit him, he's going to die …"

At this moment, Lu Ziming's face was covered in blood, his mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were wide open. He had been unable to say a single word for a long time.

The look in Xi Muqiao's eyes instantly became warm, the blood in his eyes faded away, and his voice became as gentle as water once again.

"Alright, Mu Mu said that she's not going to fight anymore."

Qiao Mu's heart skipped a beat at the gentle voice of Mubai.

Uncle called me Mumu.

Xi Muqiao stood up and clapped his hands, which were smeared with blood and dust. His gaze shifted to the dazed few people beside him.

When those people were looked at by Xi Muqiao, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. Their minds were wandering as they were shocked by the sudden turn of events, causing them to lose all sense of reaction.

If they had known earlier that they would meet Xi Muqiao, they would never have entered this muddy waters. At this moment, they all hated Lu Ziming to death.

"A student from River City University?"

The others nodded in fear, "Yes, yes."

Xi Muqiao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the stains on his palm. His posture was elegant, as if he was not the one who had gone mad.

"Do you know Qiao Mu?"

"Yes, yes."

His face was expressionless and her voice was light and fierce, "Alright, from today onwards, if anything happens to Qiao Mu in school, I'll assume that it was you guys who did it. You don't have to doubt my methods."

Everyone nodded their heads. From today onwards, Qiao Mu had a few free bodyguards within the school. They were afraid that if anything happened to Qiao Mu, Xi Muqiao would find them.

Xi Muqiao bent down to pick up a dusty black coat from the ground and hung it on his arm. He stepped forward from the left and was about to speak to the president.

"What-"

The man's gaze turned cold, scaring Leftie so much that he immediately changed his words.

"B-Boss."

Only then did Xi Muqiao turn his head in satisfaction, lightly holding Qiao Mu's shoulder and speaking in a low and deep voice.

"Let's go home."
