As the "team building" event came to a successful conclusion, Feng Mu did not return to the dojo with his senior brothers. Instead, he quietly got off the van midway and returned alone to his rental house outside the city.

Having been away for a week, a thin layer of dust had accumulated inside the house, and the air was filled with a faint dusty smell, which was somewhat irritating to the nose.

If it were Hong Ya, she might have pulled out various bottles and jars from her treasure bag and wiped the house inside and out until it was clean like a crime scene where a murder had just occurred.

But Feng Mu was not particular about these things. He casually pushed open the TV cabinet, took out the half-piece of Calamity Iron he had treasured, crushed it lightly, and swallowed it while listening to the voice coming through the phone.

"...."

After a while, Ma Bin's voice came slowly, with a hint of coldness: "This is how things are. Is there a risk of you being exposed? Do you need me to initiate an emergency plan?"

The voice was calm, but the murderous intent underlying the calmness was unmistakable.

Feng Mu felt genuine satisfaction with the loyalty of his offline and the ruthless cruelty within it. He slowly swallowed the Calamity Iron in his mouth and responded in a relaxed tone:

"Bin, don't get so worked up. You finally made two friends; how could we just get rid of them so easily?"

After a brief pause, Feng Mu's tone turned into that peculiar darkness and coldness of a villain: "We should slowly extract their value, draining them dry bit by bit until they're of no use anymore."

Ma Bin was silent for two seconds. From the online's tone, he read the implied meaning in the message.

He let out a soft breath, his tone calm and composed: "The Patrol Office's information is wrong. Your name can't possibly be on their list. In fact, you're not even in the Eighth Academy, right?"

On the other end of the line, Feng Mu smiled silently, reflecting that subordinates being too smart was just like this — he only needed to say a third of the words, and the latter could fully comprehend the intent.

Seeing Feng Mu remain silent, Ma Bin understood and then coldly laughed, saying, "Those two are not my friends. I don't need friends."

Continuing, his voice became even colder and more direct: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Feng Mu thought for a moment, curling a cunning smile at the corner of his mouth, then slowly said, "When friends encounter difficulties, we should lend a helping hand. After all, by doing so, when we face our own challenges, they'll help us without hesitation, even disregarding their safety."

Ma Bin instantly grasped Feng Mu's meaning but still feigned doubt, saying, "Human nature is ugly. Gratitude and repayment is a rare virtue; ingratitude is the norm."

Ma Bin wasn't seeking answers from the Mask, he was merely playing along, a necessary skill for the offline.

Feng Mu naturally replied, "Then you must be helping friends the wrong way. There's nothing you can do; for such false friends, we can only send them to die, or let them awaken through repentance."

Ma Bin: "You make a very good point, Online. I understand what to do. Rest assured, it won't be long before I'll turn the two of them into our most unbreakable true friends within the Patrol Office."

Feng Mu nodded: "I'm confident in your work. So, in a moment, ask our friends at the Patrol Office to find a way to transfer Chen Ya, Dong Xu, Liu Yi, and a few others from Prison No. 4 to Prison No. 2."

Ma Bin solemnly agreed and, after some contemplation, voiced his doubts: "If you're not in the Eighth Academy, then who is the Mask that the Patrol Office is targeting? No matter how stupid they are, they wouldn't fabricate something out of thin air, right?"

Over the phone, Feng Mu seemed to curve an unfathomable smile, his tone deep and inscrutable: "Who knows? Perhaps it's just some ill-intentioned imitator."

Ma Bin was filled with doubt, almost certain that the Mask was well aware of the true identity of that imitator.

He felt a bit of pity for the one unaware of the truth. Of all people to imitate, why choose our Online? Isn't that courting death?

He said coldly and ruthlessly, "What a pathetic guy, becoming the target outside for you. So, should I expose him to be your scapegoat, or secretly hide it to help you attract more attention?"

Feng Mu let out a cold laugh, saying, "Don't be so eager to do the Patrol Office's job. I've already designed a script for the imitator. When it's time for you to play a good framing act, I'll inform you to step on stage, ha—"

Ma Bin quietly listened to the instructions coming over the phone, without raising any further questions, only calmly asking, "Any other orders? If not, I'll go help friends at the Patrol Office."

Feng Mu chuckled and responded, "Go ahead, and remember to send me a copy of the names from that list later."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Bin, without a moment's hesitation, picked up his mobile to start editing a message.

His memory was astounding; he had casually browsed the names on the list just now and already memorized them.

He quickly and accurately input each name, and after ensuring the information was correct, he hit send.

The phone screen lit up, accompanied by a slight vibration and a message notification sound.

Feng Mu picked up his phone, his gaze quickly scanning the list in the message.

His eyes narrowed to a slit, his heart reflecting, "Feng Yuhuai's name isn't on the list; should I say it's to her credit? In lying and disguising, she always shows an extraordinary talent, never disappointing. Now, she's even developed to the point where she can kill right under the Patrol Office's nose without leaving any trace?"

Feng Mu turned off the phone, casually deleting the message, then lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The lines of today's settlement prompt swiftly passed before his eyes.
