CHAPTER 1069: CHAPTER 1061: BEYOND REDEMPTION

Seeing the man’s motion of removing his hat, Muyun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he instinctively stood up, but due to his weak body, Muyun barely stood up before collapsing onto the ground, looking very embarrassed.

The man saw this and let out a very mocking smile, "I never expected that even the esteemed Muyun could be so pitiful." As he spoke, the man slowly revealed the face hidden under the hat.

"It’s you?" Upon seeing the man, cold sweat instantly appeared on Muyun’s forehead, and he couldn’t help but prop himself up with both hands, wanting to retreat backward.

Indeed, who else could instill such fear in Muyun but Xiao Wushuang? Only now, Xiao Wushuang looked terrifying; his entire face had become unrecognizable. In order to make Muyun fear him, Xiao Wushuang had already removed the bandage from his face.

So to Muyun, what appeared before him now seemed not like Xiao Wushuang but more like a zombie from a horror movie. However, seeing Muyun like this, Xiao Wushuang was quite excited; the reason he removed the bandage was for exactly this.

"Hahaha, Muyun, surprised? Who told you to be in such a hurry to ask me for acupuncture? All of this is thanks to you." Xiao Wushuang had some disfigurement, and paired with those sinister smiles, he truly embodied the essence of Hell.

Muyun snorted coldly at those words. Although he was very frightened now, his aversion to Xiao Wushuang hadn’t changed in the slightest. "I should never have asked for your help. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have misunderstood Xiao Yifei." Muyun said with a cold expression.

However, upon hearing the name ’Xiao Yifei,’ Xiao Wushuang’s anger flared up immediately. It seemed that Muyun was now on Xiao Yifei’s side. Xiao Wushuang stared at Muyun intensely and said with a twisted expression, "Muyun, aren’t you on my side? Ah, you’ve betrayed me? You betrayed me!"

Xiao Wushuang was somewhat hysterical, and the heavy panting that followed made the already tense Muyun even more reluctant to speak.

After a moment, Xiao Wushuang laughed at Muyun and then slowly pulled out a small bottle containing water from his pocket. He shook the bottle in Muyun’s direction, smiling as he said, "Muyun, it seems you’ll have to sacrifice for me; if you die, as long as I don’t admit anything, no one will know."

Seeing that colorless and tasteless water, Muyun naturally wasn’t foolish enough to think it was ordinary water, so upon hearing those words, Muyun instantly understood what Xiao Wushuang intended to do. At this moment, Xiao Wushuang continued to move forward, casually edging closer to Muyun!

"No, don’t come closer. I’ve already told them everything. Even if you kill me, what will it change?" Muyun said while struggling to retreat; due to fear and his illness, he found himself completely powerless, only able to wriggle on the ground.

Compared to Muyun, Xiao Wushuang seemed much more at ease; although he was injured, it didn’t stop him from moving. Hearing Muyun say this, Xiao Wushuang remained unperturbed, still fixing his gaze on Muyun, "Do you think that if you’re dead, your father will still be rational? Then anything I say he will believe, hahaha!"

These words from Xiao Wushuang left Muyun speechless, but indeed as Xiao Wushuang said, if he were to die, Xiao Wushuang could say whatever he wanted freely. With this thought, Muyun looked at Xiao Wushuang despairingly and slowly began to inch backward.

However, using his hands to move was never as fast as using feet, and in an instant, Xiao Wushuang was beside Muyun. Before Muyun could react, Xiao Wushuang reached out with his right hand and violently grabbed Muyun’s neck, causing Muyun to writhe in pain. Muyun clenched Xiao Wushuang’s wrist tightly, trying to pry Xiao Wushuang’s hand away.

But ultimately, due to years of illness, Muyun’s strength was nowhere near equal to Xiao Wushuang’s. Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang snorted coldly, then opened the bottle filled with Blood-breaking Potion, "Drink this; it’s colorless, tasteless, and undetectable. Just obediently go to hell."

As he spoke, Xiao Wushuang applied pressure with his left hand, causing Muyun immense pain in his throat, compelling Muyun to open his mouth wide, which was enough for Xiao Wushuang to pour the poison in.

At that moment, facing the poison that neared inch by inch, despair filled Muyun’s eyes, and in his mind, he could almost see himself dying; but just as Xiao Wushuang put the bottle near Muyun’s mouth, a voice full of hope reached both of their ears.

Suddenly, Liu Rui rushed in, standing behind Xiao Wushuang, shouting loudly, "Stop!"

"Stop!" The familiar voice entered Muyun’s ears, immediately brightening his eyes. His whole body shook and struggled, trying to break free from Xiao Wushuang’s grip.

Hearing the voice startled Xiao Wushuang. If someone saw him at this moment, even killing Muyun wouldn’t erase the witness, making escape impossible. At this moment, countless thoughts ran through Xiao Wushuang’s mind, but ultimately he slowly released Muyun, knowing that dealing with someone capable of action was far more urgent than killing Muyun first.

So Xiao Wushuang loosened the grip on Muyun’s neck, throwing him aside, and turned around holding the opened Blood-breaking Potion.

A youthful, handsome face entered Xiao Wushuang’s sight, no doubt, the person standing before him was Liu Rui, who rushed in.

Once freed, Muyun promptly struggled to get up, leaning against a nearby table, coughing violently, because Xiao Wushuang’s previous grip truly aimed to kill Muyun, causing such discomfort.

But Xiao Wushuang didn’t care about Muyun’s discomfort; his eyes now focused on the man before him, the one who witnessed everything.

"Who are you?" As Xiao Wushuang turned, Liu Rui became highly vigilant, but upon seeing Xiao Wushuang’s disfigured face, he was genuinely terrified. Such an injury could only be inflicted by someone extremely ruthless, Liu Rui thought.

This was thanks to Qianxi not having told Liu Rui about the events from that night, otherwise Liu Rui would definitely have known that Xiao Wushuang’s face was the result of Qianxi’s actions.

"Did you see everything?" Xiao Wushuang didn’t directly answer Liu Rui’s question but instead asked sinisterly. Hearing this, Liu Rui’s eyebrows tightened, because people who ask this are typically guilty and wish to kill their witness. So, Liu Rui became even more vigilant of Xiao Wushuang.

Liu Rui didn’t speak, but from his expression, Xiao Wushuang could confirm that the person before him had witnessed everything he had just done; moreover, if he survived today, it would no longer just be seen.

At this moment, Muyun finally caught his breath and said to Liu Rui, "He is Xiao Wushuang." As he spoke, Muyun took a breath and collapsed onto the chair.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rui suddenly realized that the disfigured person in front of him was indeed Xiao Wushuang, the one Xiao Yifei spoke of, and from the looks of him, it was clear he was no good. Liu Rui thought to himself while fixating his eyes on Xiao Wushuang.
