Bạch Ưng shook his head. "We can't say for sure about this. It would be as easy as flipping a hand for us to destroy the Khúc family. However, it seems the boss has put out word that he's protecting the Khúc family. We don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, no one has touched the Khúc family for all these years, and the boss doesn't seem to have any intention of destroying them."

Complicated. The issue had become complicated here. Ly Tâm couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What was this supposed to mean? It didn't seem like Tề Mặc's style.

"Khúc Vi is the boss's closest relative now, in a way." Hắc Ưng, having thought of something, suddenly interjected. Hearing this, Ly Tâm was slightly stunned.

"Right, did you report the contents of the message to the boss?" Hoàng Ưng suddenly remembered and turned to look at Ly Tâm.

Ly Tâm's expression immediately turned serious. "No, before I could even speak, the boss seemed to have already guessed what it was about." Thinking of how Tề Mặc's expression had changed without her saying a word, Ly Tâm raised an eyebrow slightly. Tề Mặc was too sensitive, although using the word "sensitive" on him wasn't quite appropriate.

"Go tell him quickly." Red Eagle and Hắc Ưng spoke at the same time, grabbing Ly Tâm's collar and pushing her towards the door.

"Are you kidding me? Do you want me to die?" Ly Tâm's face was full of anger. With Tề Mặc's current crazed state, if she went to add fuel to the fire, the consequences would be severe. If she didn't know, it would be one thing, but now that she knew, she wouldn't do it even if they beat her to death. She hadn't lived enough yet.

Lập Hộ saw Ly Tâm clinging to the door and refusing to go in. He couldn't help but sigh slightly. "The boss only has this one close relative. It's not that we want to meddle or disobey the boss's orders. If it were anyone else, we wouldn't care. We have no feelings for them anyway. One less to kill is less trouble for us. But this Khúc Vi seems a bit different. For so many years, he's sent things to the boss every year. Just some of his photos and some local specialties.

Although the boss threw the things out a long time ago, we don't know if Khúc Vi is still sending them to him. But with the boss's network of spies, he's probably just turning a blind eye and letting it be.

You should know what kind of person the boss is by now. Not killing the other party is already a very polite gesture. That's why we have to pay special attention to Khúc Vi. Now that this person is missing, do you think we should tell the boss? Do you want the boss to vent all his anger at once? Or are you prepared to face him again once he's calmed down?"

Lập Hộ's words were quite skillful. He used soft and hard tactics, reason and analysis, everything. It made Ly Tâm's face turn black.

"Do you want to die twice, or once? Let me tell you, no one who can sit in a chair of power in the Tề family has ever gone back on their word. They've always been people who can stand on their own. You're the sixth chair. Don't embarrass us." Hoàng Ưng had always been direct, and he was just as direct now.

Ly Tâm was speechless. The people before her were all figures who guarded a region for the Tề family. And she, unfortunately, was one of them. Now that things had come to this, the matter had fallen on her. No matter what, she couldn't escape it. Damn it.

"Let go." Ly Tâm's face was dark as she growled at Red Eagle and Hắc Ưng.

Hắc Ưng and Red Eagle exchanged a look and both let go. Seeing Ly Tâm say nothing and slip through the door, they couldn't help but look at each other with a bit of embarrassment. Hoàng Ưng was right. They were all figures who held power in their own right, all tempered by blood and iron. And now they were threatening a woman, a woman who was clearly weaker than them. How shameful.

Ly Tâm slipped through the door with a dark face and stood by the entrance. Lập Hộ was right. Since it had come to this, since the fire was already burning, adding a little more fuel would only make it burn a little higher. If she were to tell him next time, it would be another raging fire. It was better to resolve it all at once.

She glanced at the scene in the living room. There was only one phrase to describe it: a typhoon had passed through. Damn. The originally exquisite and coldly elegant living room had been smashed to pieces. The scene was more chaotic than a firefight, with astonishing destructive power.

She looked up and met Tề Mặc's gaze, which was just as sharp and angry as before. His figure, standing in the center of the living room, was like a radiating flame, so hot that no one dared to approach, lest they be burned to ashes.

"Boss, the news on this paper says Khúc Vi is missing, his life is unknown." Ly Tâm threw down these words and turned to slip out. Face was face, but substance was more important than face. Tề Mặc had said that self-preservation was very important, and she was now firmly implementing his viewpoint.

"Come here." An icy voice, so cold it felt like being suddenly transported to the North Pole in the middle of summer, so suffocating it was unbearable.

Ly Tâm's foot had already crossed the threshold. Hearing Tề Mặc's emotionless voice, she froze on the spot. Red Eagle and the others outside had obviously heard it too, and they all looked at Ly Tâm. Lập Hộ was already poised to rescue her.

"Did you not hear me?" A sudden roar broke through the air. It wasn't suffocating like before, but it was a roar of fury, like a sudden clap of thunder.

Ly Tâm shot a fierce glare at Red Eagle and the others, then turned around, forced a smile, and slowly walked towards Tề Mặc. "Boss." As she walked, her mind raced, trying to come up with a plan. Surrendering without a fight was not her style, but right now, she really didn't know how to handle this.

Tề Mặc watched Ly Tâm slowly approach, a look of frustration and anger in his eyes. He took two quick steps, grabbed her arm, and yanked her over. He raised his arm, about to punch her. Ly Tâm immediately screamed, "Tề Mặc!" and subconsciously raised her hands to block.

Tề Mặc's blood-red eyes were filled with a ferocious light, his whole body's anger seeming to want to destroy everything in front of him to be appeased. He threw a punch at Ly Tâm. Before it could land, he heard her scream. A light flashed in his eyes, and the force in his arm instantly retracted by ninety percent. He changed his fist to a grab, snatched her arm, and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and bit down on her neck.

"Ah, Boss, it hurts." Ly Tâm had originally thought that this punch from Tề Mặc would leave her seriously injured, if not dead. She hadn't expected him to suddenly change his move. Before she could react, Tề Mặc had already bitten down hard on her neck. A sharp pain instantly bloomed, and she couldn't help but cry out.

Hoàng Ưng and the others, who were waiting outside, immediately rushed in when they heard Ly Tâm's cry of pain. In the living room, which looked like it had been hit by a storm, they saw Tề Mặc holding Ly Tâm tightly, biting her neck fiercely. For now, there was no sign of Ly Tâm being thrown out with any broken bones. The group immediately retreated, backing away without a sound.

The pain in her neck went from sharp to gradually numb. After Ly Tâm got used to the pain, she could feel Tề Mặc's body trembling continuously. This wasn't any other feeling, but anger, absolute anger. It was an anger that Tề Mặc couldn't control, and now he was suppressing it.

Ly Tâm couldn't help but roll her eyes. Why did Tề Mặc have to take his anger out on her? Why didn't he go bite Red Eagle and the others? They were all his subordinates. But compared to Hắc Ưng being beaten black and blue and then having his arm broken before being thrown out, if Tề Mặc wanted to bite, then let him bite. She would just consider it payback for her biting him this morning.

Her body was held so tightly in his embrace that she couldn't even move, so tight she could barely breathe. But Ly Tâm seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't find it too difficult. She grabbed the clothes on either side of Tề Mặc's waist and said in a low voice, "Boss, don't be angry."

The low voice, with its unique female gentleness, not only didn't lessen Tề Mặc's anger, but his steel-like arms held her even tighter. This man was the opposite of all other men. Ly Tâm sighed deeply. Forget it. If he wanted to bite, let him bite. As long as he didn't bite her to death, she would endure it. Who told her she was under his roof and had to bow her head? Besides, Tề Mặc had really been very lenient with her.

Silence. A long silence. So quiet that Red Eagle outside thought the storm had passed.

Ly Tâm's neck was already numb, but she could feel Tề Mặc's body, which had been trembling with anger, gradually calming down. Ly Tâm also felt a sense of relief. Tề Mặc was always a person who could control himself. Now that he had controlled it, he wouldn't go crazy again.

The thick taste of blood swirled in Tề Mặc's mouth. The warm body brought not only warmth but also an indescribable feeling. The greasy skin between his teeth gradually calmed his anger.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the neck that had been bitten until it was a bloody mess. Tề Mặc couldn't help but lower his head again and suck on the blood-stained wound. Blood could excite him, but it had never calmed him before. But now, he was truly calmed by the taste of blood in his mouth.

When he was furious, no one could approach him. He wouldn't show mercy to anyone. But hearing Ly Tâm's voice, he had changed his move before he even thought about it. With her physique, how could she withstand a punch from him? This was the first time he hadn't struck.

Ly Tâm felt Tề Mặc had let go, and her neck was numb. She didn't know what he was still doing. She patted his waist and said indifferently, "Boss, next time can you bite somewhere else? How am I supposed to go out and see people like this?"

There was a clear bite mark on her left neck. Now, without a doubt, there was one on the right too. Was it her height that made Tề Mặc feel that this was the most comfortable place to bite? Although she didn't mind walking around with a bite mark, she did mind two bite marks. She wasn't food. It was ugly.

Tề Mặc heard Ly Tâm's words and slowly raised his head. He saw that her eyes showed neither fear nor any other emotion, only a little dissatisfaction. This was a far cry from the terrified expression Hắc Ưng had when he was thrown out that year. But it was precisely this indifferent expression that made him feel very comfortable. He immediately picked up Ly Tâm and walked to the corner, to the only sofa he hadn't destroyed, and sat down.

"You're not afraid?" A cold voice, back to the original Tề Mặc.

Ly Tâm looked up at Tề Mặc and raised an eyebrow. "Afraid? Why wouldn't I be afraid?"

When she first came in and saw Tề Mặc like that, how could she not be afraid? Hearing that the skilled Hắc Ưng had been beaten so badly he had to sleep in bed for a month to recover, how could she not be afraid? But when Tề Mặc grabbed her and bit her fiercely, she knew her life was saved. Since her life was saved, if Tề Mặc wanted to vent, let him vent. As long as her bottom line wasn't crossed, she was easy to negotiate with.

Tề Mặc saw Ly Tâm saying she was afraid, but her expression didn't match. He nodded slowly and suddenly said in a low voice, "Get in here."

Hearing this, Ly Tâm's lips curved into a big smile. Playing tricks in front of Tề Mặc, they were in for a show.

Red Eagle and the others, who had been standing outside, heard Tề Mặc's cold command. Without another word, they walked in and stood in a line.

"Bring the medicine." Tề Mặc glanced at Lập Hộ and ordered in a low voice. Ly Tâm's neck was still bleeding. Although this injury wasn't a big deal. Lập Hộ, hearing this, directly handed over the ointment he had prepared long ago. Tề Mặc glanced at it coldly, took it, and began to apply it to Ly Tâm's wound.

Silence. A dead silence. Red Eagle and the others lowered their heads and exchanged a look. The last time Tề Mặc had gotten angry, it had taken him three days to calm down. This time, it seemed he had calmed down quickly. But he hadn't given any instructions about the Khúc family. Red Eagle looked at the cold-faced Tề Mặc, who was applying medicine to Ly Tâm, and raised an eyebrow, giving Ly Tâm a look.

Ly Tâm immediately rolled her eyes at Red Eagle. Making her take the lead again. But Tề Mặc had already bitten her, and his anger had been vented. It should be fine, right?

She cleared her throat. "Boss, what should we do about Khúc Vi?" She didn't ask how Tề Mặc would handle it, but what they should do. It had to be said that Ly Tâm had improved.

Tề Mặc didn't speak. The hand applying the medicine didn't pause for a moment, not even a slight tremble. He was as calm as if the Khúc family were just strangers. This calmness made Red Eagle and the others not know how to react.

As for Ly Tâm, she didn't care that much. Whatever grudge Tề Mặc had with the Khúc family, whatever family ties or hatred, she had no interest. So she sat on Tề Mặc's lap, letting him apply medicine to her wound, without any abnormal or strange emotions.
