Chapter 127: The Most Evil Villain's Script

As the 【Team Building】 activity came to a successful close, Feng Mu did not follow his Senior Brothers back to the Martial Arts Hall, but instead quietly got off the bread van midway and returned alone to his rented house outside the city.

Having been away for a week, a thin layer of dust had accumulated inside the room, and a faint smell of dust permeated the air, stinging the nose a little.

If it were Hong Ya, she might have taken out bottles and jars from her hundred-treasure bag and wiped the house inside and out until it was as tidy as a homicide crime scene.

But Feng Mu was not particular about this; he casually pushed aside the TV cabinet, took out that treasured half-piece of Ebon Iron, and while lightly crushing it into his mouth, listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"......"

After a good while, Ma Bin's voice came through slowly, carrying a hint of gloomy coldness: "Things are as follows: is there a risk of your exposure, do you need me to activate the emergency plan?"

The voice was very calm, but the venomous killing intent seeping through the calm was not concealed in the slightest.

Feng Mu felt genuine satisfaction at his subordinate's loyalty and that cold-blooded ruthlessness; he slowly swallowed the Ebon Iron in his mouth and replied in a relaxed tone:

"Ah Bin, don't have such a big temper; those two friends you made with such difficulty, how can you just kill them off easily."

Pausing slightly, Feng Mu's tone turned into a gloom and coldness unique to a villain: "We must slowly extract their value, suck the marrow from their bones bit by bit, until there is no more use to be had from them."

Ma Bin fell silent for two seconds; from the 【Superior】's answering tone, he read the implicit meaning in the words.

He let out a light breath, his tone calm and composed: "The Patrol Bureau's intelligence is wrong; your name cannot be on their list. In fact, you were never at No. 8 Middle School at all, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Feng Mu smiled without speaking, inwardly moved; a subordinate being too smart was exactly like this — he only needed to say three parts, and the other would grasp the full ten.

Seeing Feng Mu not making a sound, Ma Bin understood perfectly, then let out a cold laugh and said: "Those two aren't my friends; I don't need friends."

Immediately after, his voice became even more cold and direct: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Feng Mu contemplated for a moment, the corner of his mouth hooking a crafty smile, and slowly said: "When friends encounter difficulties, we ought to extend a helping hand; after all, this way, when we face a crisis, they will spare no effort, even risking their lives, to help us."

Ma Bin instantly grasped Feng Mu's meaning, but still feigned a question: "Human nature is ugly; repaying kindness is a rare virtue; ingratitude is the norm."

Ma Bin wasn't trying to get an answer from the 【Mask】; he was simply playing the straight man — a necessary skill for a subordinate.

Feng Mu answered as a matter of course: "Then it must be that your way of helping friends is wrong; there's no helping it; such fake friends can only be invited to die, or, let them wake up in repentance."

Ma Bin: "【Superior】, what you say makes sense; I understand what to do; rest assured, it won't be long before I develop those two into our most unbreakable true-hearted friends inside the Patrol Bureau."

Feng Mu nodded: "I'm at ease with you handling things; like this, in a bit ask the Patrol Bureau friends to help us think of a way to transfer Chen Ya, Dong Xu, Liu Yi... and several others from No. 4 Prison to No. 2 Prison."

Ma Bin agreed solemnly; after contemplating a moment, he voiced the doubt in his heart: "Then if you're not at No. 8 Middle School, who is the 【Mask】 the Patrol Bureau has latched onto? Even if the Patrol Bureau is stupid again, they wouldn't fabricate something out of nothing without a shred of evidence, would they?"

Across the microphone, Feng Mu's mouth corner seemed to trace an unfathomable smile arc; his tone deep and unfathomable: "Who knows; perhaps it's just some imitator with ulterior motives."

Ma Bin's heart was full of suspicion; he could almost be certain the 【Mask】 knew the true identity of that copycat like the back of his hand.

He felt a trace of sadness for that person who didn't know the truth; imitate anyone badly, but had to imitate his own 【Superior】 — isn't that courting death?

He spoke coldly and ruthlessly: "Truly a pathetic fellow, becoming the target you set up outside; so, do you need me to expose him to be your scapegoat, or cover for him in secret, letting him draw more attention for you?"

Feng Mu let out a cold laugh and said: "Don't rush to snatch the Patrol Bureau's work; the copycat's script I've already designed for her. When the time comes for you to act out a fine framing play, I'll notify you to take the stage, ha—"

Ma Bin listened quietly to the instructions from the other end of the phone, raised no further questions, merely asked calmly: "Any other instructions? If not, I'll go help the Patrol Bureau friends."

Feng Mu replied with a light laugh: "Go on; remember to send me a copy of the names on that list later."

After Ma Bin hung up, with almost no hesitation, he picked up his phone and started editing a text message.

His memory was astonishing; the names on the list, he had just casually glanced over once and already knew them by heart.

He rapidly and accurately entered each name, ensured the information was correct, and hit send.

The phone screen lit up, accompanied by a slight vibration, a text message notification sounded.

Feng Mu picked up his phone, his gaze quickly scanning across the screen, browsing the list in the text message.

His eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: "Feng Yuhuai isn't on the list; should I say as expected of my little sister? In the matter of lying and disguise, she always displays talent beyond ordinary people, never disappointing me once; now she's even developed to the point of killing under the Patrol Bureau's eyelids without showing a flaw?"

Feng Mu closed the phone, casually deleted the text message, then lay flat on the bed, his eyes vacant as he stared at the ceiling above.

Line after line of today's settlement prompts swiftly flashed before his eyes.

【However, she has not realized that the Mask she strives to imitate and disguise as is precisely the culprit who pushed her into her current plight.】

【Everything seems like Fate's clever arrangement; this forbidden entanglement is filled with dramatic tension even gods would find hard to resist — undoubtedly a script only the most evil villain could design; please continue your efforts, keep adding more stimulating, more taboo and evil seasonings to this script.】

【Your Evil Index surges sharply, the game's Inheritance Degree gains a significant leap↑↑】
