"Spare our lives, great hero! We were only doing this for the money. We have no grudge against those two girls. Please forgive us this time, and we promise we'll never do it again!"

The leader trembled and pleaded for mercy from Chen Pingan.

"Who did you take money from?"

Chen Pingan pulled the silk stockings off several people's heads, revealing their faces. He asked again in a cold voice.

"We······"

Several people, whose stockings had been torn off, immediately covered their faces with their hands, stammering and unable to say who the person who bribed them was.

Chen Ping'an didn't say a word, he directly pointed the gun at the leader's thigh and pulled the trigger.

"Ah!"

The leader let out a scream, clutching his bleeding thigh and crouching on the ground.

In this silent night, his screams were so loud and piercing, they terrified all his accomplices.

"If you don't tell the truth, the next shot won't be in your thigh. It could be your heart or your head!"

Chen Pingan twirled the M500 revolver in his hand and threatened in a low voice.

"I said, I said, isn't that enough?"

"We received one million from Mr. Liu Jianxiong, the head of the renowned Liu family, and he asked us to kidnap Miss Mu!"

The leader, scared out of his wits, quickly revealed the mastermind behind it all.

"Why did the Liu family kidnap Miss Mu?"

Chen Ping'an asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Because the Mu family and the Liu family were competing for that project in Xicheng, the Liu family tried to poison Mr. Mu a few days ago to force the Mu family out. However, Mr. Mu was lucky and survived even after being dead for two or three days. They then decided to kidnap Miss Mu to threaten the Mu family into withdrawing. We have told you everything we know, sir. We gave you the one million we received, please spare our lives!"

The leader this time dared not withhold anything, revealing everything he knew. He also wanted to use the one million they received to buy the lives of these people.

"I don't want that million anymore, you guys keep it to treat your leg injuries. I want you to secretly protect Miss Mu in the future and make sure she doesn't get hurt by anyone. If anything happens to Miss Mu, your end will be just like this van!"

Chen Pingan finished speaking, and with all his might, he slapped the top of their van with a downward palm.

That brand new van, which had only been purchased a few days prior, was instantly flattened into a scrap of metal by Chen Ping'an's single palm.

Even the four tires couldn't withstand Chen Pingan's palm strike and exploded directly.

With a deafening bang, the once perfectly fine van instantly turned into a mangled wreck. The robbers were completely stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Several robbers rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they must be seeing things. The bread truck was still flattened!

Their new bread van was really beaten into scrap metal by that masked man with one palm!

Is this still something humans can do?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed what they were seeing.

Just now, if that palm strike had landed on them, with their frail bodies, they would have been pulverized into a bloody paste.

The leader was so scared that he peed his pants, and a pungent odor filled the air.

He secretly rejoiced that Chen Pingan had only shot him just now. If he had slapped him directly, he would definitely be a pile of flesh and blood right now!

"Speak up!"

Chen Ping saw that these people were only shaking and trembling without answering him. He said again in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely protect Miss Mu's safety in secret from now on. We will absolutely not let anything happen to her!"

The leader was startled by Chen Ping'an's voice and quickly knelt down, assuring Chen Ping'an.

This man before me is no human, he's a demon!

Cruel and merciless demon!

And they were still demons in human form, people he'd already met.

Given their notoriety in Long City, they'd be easy to find. If Miss Mu experiences any trouble, he could already imagine what would happen to them!
