Chapter 541: Shi Wuming's Heart, a New Pupil Technique?

After obtaining Li Hanyu's promise, Feng Mu did not rush to leave, but instead gazed deeply at the fish tank for a long while, his gaze lingering without shifting away.

He knew well that acting required not just bones, but heart.

In the performance of these details, Feng Mu could be said to have reached the pinnacle; even if Li Hanyu observed with only one eye, she could fully feel Feng Mu's deep affection for Qian Huan.

Feng Mu left the ward, nodded to Li Bashan, and then said respectfully to Hou Mi:

"Hou Mi, Madam requests you to go in."

Hou Wendong looked at Feng Mu with a deep gaze, then extended his hand and lightly patted Feng Mu's shoulder, saying in a low voice:

"The Councilor has never liked subordinates going against his meaning; I hope you are clear about what you are doing right now."

Hou Wendong's words faintly carried a threatening implication.

However, through the glasses, Feng Mu could see that Hou Wendong actually held no malice toward him.

"Does this count as a well-meaning reminder from a half life-saver to me?" Feng Mu pondered silently in his heart.

But his face revealed not the slightest emotional fluctuation; instead, he spoke with resonant firmness:

"Many thanks for Hou Mi's reminder. However, my Feng Mu's principle in conducting myself has always been: a drop of kindness received shall be repaid with a gushing spring."

Upon hearing this, Hou Wendong said no more, merely looking at Feng Mu with an indescribably complex gaze.

The originally vigilant, staring gazes of the several bodyguards around them unconsciously softened a few degrees.

After all, no one would dislike a loyal and righteous person.

The paradox of human nature lies here: bad people often look down on good people, thinking good people are too foolish; yet if given a choice, they are instead the ones more willing to make friends with good people.

Feng Mu completely disregarded the gazes cast at him from behind, his steps stopping before Shi Wuming's ward.

He let out a light sigh, that sigh seemingly containing some inexplicable emotion, then slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The several bodyguards behind him, seeing this, merely exchanged a glance with each other and did not step forward to stop him.

On the hospital bed, Shi Wuming still lay there, his chest split open, eyes eyeless, hollow and ghastly, utterly motionless.

The Patrol Bureau did not take his corpse away for further autopsy.

On one hand, the Patrol Bureau did not possess the corresponding autopsy techniques;

On the other hand, as a reconstructed human of the Guangming Group, his internal structure might very well involve commercial secrets.

Moreover, the case that occurred in the hospital had basically been solved, and Li Shang has always been an extremely shrewd person skilled at self-preservation; he would not trouble himself with this extra effort.

Feng Mu stood by the hospital bed, his expression calm as water, quietly gazing for a moment.

He noticed there were no curious, prying gazes outside the room, so he openly walked toward the private restroom.

After entering the restroom, he turned back and locked the door, then slowly extended his hand and gently lifted the water tank's lid.

Inside the water tank, a pitch-black bag was quietly soaking in the water.

Feng Mu reached out, slowly took out the bag, untied the bag's opening, and his gaze instantly fell upon the half-mechanical, half-flesh heart inside.

【Shi Wuming's Heart (Preservation Countdown: 14 min 37 sec)】

【You are peeking at a unique human heart intertwined half-mechanical, half-flesh (70% Titanium Alloy Mechanical Structure wrapping 30% Active Myocardial Tissue)!!】

【Residual Ability Detection in Progress】

【From this heart, you have glimpsed three abilities that have not yet dissipated.】

【1. X-ray Insight lv3 (Possesses ability to see through 20 cm thick dead objects, can also penetrate living beings, clearly insight into their bones, flesh, meridians, acupoints and other minute structures)】

【2. Drilling Bone Hand lv2 (Finger bones can rotate and pierce, max rotation speed 3000 rpm)】

【3. Greedy Olfaction lv4 (You can smell out who can sell for a good price from the vast crowd)】

【Choose one to copy (Copy Ability Force Adaptation to User's Current Tier)】

【Please Select.....】

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth curling up:

"Time just right, and the ability I wanted came out."

The reason Feng Mu raced against time, hurriedly returning to the hospital before dawn, was on one hand to report back to Li Hanyu, but more crucially, he had coveted this heart for a long time.

Shi Wuming also did not disappoint his life-saving grace, "repaying" him with the ability he wanted.

Feng Mu gave his choice almost without hesitation.

【You copied X-ray Insight lv3】

Feng Mu clenched his five fingers, and the heart instantly weathered into quicksand, falling into the toilet, dyeing the clear water gray-black.

He then rubbed his two hands together, and the bag also instantly shattered, fragments falling into the toilet one after another, washed clean by the whirlpool formed from the flush.

"Every time a heart shatters it turns into gray-black sand grains; does this mean the essence of the human heart is gray and black?"

Feng Mu's heart was full of delight, and philosophical thoughts involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Heart? (Fourth tone)

Heart? (Level tone)

Excellent villains also mostly possess profound philosophical thoughts; otherwise they wouldn't walk far.

He slowly walked out of the restroom, carefully washing the hands stained by that heart, until they were washed spotless, then left with composed steps.

In the corridor, Hou Wendong was holding a phone walking out.

Seeing Feng Mu had not yet left, he was slightly stunned.

Feng Mu asked with an unchanged expression:

"Hou Mi, how should Shi Wuming's corpse be handled? People are dead, they must be cremated or buried, right?"

Hou Wendong spoke into the phone:

"I've sent you the address, you bring people over immediately, I'll arrive later......"

Hou Wendong hastily explained a few sentences into the phone, hung up, then looked at him meaningfully:

"I heard that the relationship between you and Shi Wuming was not harmonious?"

Feng Mu habitually adjusted his glasses, not denying it:

"Just a bit of Work Conflict, but Dead Men Tell No Tales, and we were Colleagues after all; I can't just let him keep lying exposed on the bed, I ought to Give Dignity."

Hou Wendong hmphed:

"You're quite Kind-Hearted, but he doesn't need your trouble; he only just Signed Before Death for 'Bright Loan', and Guangming Group Don't Care About Dead Debts."

Seeing Feng Mu reveal a Puzzled Expression, Hou Wendong Cold Laughed:

"When Dawn comes, Guangming Group will Dispatch People to Recover and assess his corpse's value; once he Repays Debt, if there are any Remaining Parts left, you can Help Bury him.

If there's anything left by then, hehe——"

Feng Mu fell silent, only feeling it was dark, Too Dark.

He, a villain, was still Willing to Bury Enemy, yet Guangming even had to create value from an employee's corpse.

The key is, he had to sneak around to take a heart, but Guangming dismembering an employee is perfectly legal?!!

"It's me who's Too Shallow; I want to be a good villain, I still have to Learn from Guangming, my Road Still Long……"

Feng Mu, Nei Xin filled with Emotion, Left Hospital and Returned to Second Ward.

Upon Entering Second Ward, smelling the unique fresh scent inside the Prison, he instantly felt:

"The world outside is too cruel; the Prison is More Humane after all."
