Chapter 1073: Chapter 1065: Begging for Mercy

Unexpecting that Xiao Yifei would make such a move, Xiao Wushuang was instantly flustered, his eyes filled with incredulity towards Xiao Yifei. The reason Xiao Yifei was being so ruthless now was entirely what he learned from Qianxi, because he discovered that sometimes it was better to be tougher, for example, towards Xiao Wushuang.

As the strength in his hand increased, Xiao Yifei’s expression also gradually became uncomfortable. As expected, it didn’t last long before Xiao Wushuang hurriedly said, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Xiao Wushuang’s voice was hoarse mixing with a choking throat. His expression and actions were all pleading with Xiao Yifei.

Seeing Xiao Wushuang in this simple and pitiful appearance, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, and then released his hand. As soon as he let go, Xiao Wushuang coughed violently, and it seemed that Xiao Yifei had indeed used a heavy hand earlier.

Not knowing how much time passed, Xiao Wushuang gradually recovered, and Xiao Yifei looked at Xiao Wushuang and said indifferently, “Sparing your life is already my greatest leniency.” Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang swallowed and didn’t dare to say much.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei smiled satisfactorily and said, “I want to ask you something!” The words from Xiao Yifei were full of command, making Xiao Wushuang feel a surge of displeasure in his heart, but now Xiao Wushuang dared not refute. He could only nod his head, not daring to face Xiao Yifei directly.

Seeing Xiao Wushuang nod, Xiao Yifei suddenly became serious and asked, “What is the situation with the Xiao Family? Are you really descendants of the Xiao Family?” Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang was puzzled in his heart and also started to speculate. Why is Xiao Yifei asking this? Could it be that this matter has hit his pride?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang suddenly sneered mischievously. What he wanted was to strike hard at Xiao Yifei, even if he couldn’t gain much physically now, but verbally, Xiao Wushuang did not want to let Xiao Yifei feel good. He enunciated each word: “A descendant of an attendant like you is unworthy of asking these questions!”

As expected, the moment Xiao Yifei heard this, his face instantly darkened.

“What did you say?” Upon hearing Xiao Wushuang’s words, Xiao Yifei’s face instantly darkened, his eyes fixed on Xiao Wushuang on the bed. Although Xiao Yifei was furious, Xiao Wushuang felt very pleased. Knowing he temporarily had no way to deal with Xiao Yifei, he thought, why not at least provoke Xiao Yifei verbally.

Seeing Xiao Yifei slowly exhale, suppressing his internal anger, he slowly asked, “It looks like you don’t want to talk?”

Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang let out a cold laugh and didn’t answer Xiao Yifei. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” Xiao Yifei threatened. But Xiao Wushuang completely ignored Xiao Yifei, which left Xiao Yifei a bit helpless. Seeing Xiao Wushuang’s demeanor, he clearly had no intention of telling Xiao Yifei about the Xiao Family’s affairs.

The room fell into silence, and after a while, Xiao Yifei calmly said, “If you don’t tell me, I have my own ways.” Saying this, Xiao Yifei let out a cold snort. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but feel disdainful, thinking, I also know how to brag. With these thoughts, Xiao Wushuang turned his head, wanting to see Xiao Yifei’s expression.

But he found that Xiao Yifei had already left the room. Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but sneer. To him, Xiao Yifei’s earlier words had no threat to him at all, which is why Xiao Wushuang acted so brazenly. Moreover, in his eyes, Xiao Yifei leaving the room must have been in frustration, which couldn’t help but make Xiao Wushuang secretly pleased.

However, the truth was, Xiao Yifei was not at all like what Xiao Wushuang thought. After leaving the room, Xiao Yifei wasn’t frustrated or very angry, but rather, he was contemplating how to make Xiao Wushuang reveal the matters of the Xiao Family. As he pondered, Xiao Yifei suddenly came up with a plan.

Thinking of his plan, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but smile, partly thinking the plan was very feasible, and partly laughing at Xiao Wushuang’s stupidity. So Xiao Yifei didn’t linger there for long and went straight to another room. Moreover, the next day, Xiao Yifei visited Mu Feng.

Because if Xiao Yifei’s plan was to be implemented, he needed Mu Feng’s cooperation. These days, Xiao Wushuang had gradually started to get out of bed, thanks to Xiao Yifei’s treatment, although there wasn’t an ounce of gratitude in Xiao Wushuang’s heart.

However, staying at Hua Mansion felt uncomfortable for Xiao Wushuang, so he also planned to sneak out quietly once he fully recovered, leaving without a trace; who would know. Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao Wushuang’s disfigured face.

But on this day, while Xiao Wushuang was on the way to the bathroom, he suddenly found Xiao Yifei and a group of people gathered in the courtyard, discussing something he didn’t know. Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang’s curiosity immediately piqued, so he sneakily moved behind the bushes not far from Xiao Yifei and his group, wanting to eavesdrop on what they were talking about.

“What should we do then?” As soon as Xiao Wushuang listened in, he heard this sigh. It was Xiao Yifei speaking, with his brows furrowed, looking quite anxious, as if troubled by something.

Just then, Qianxi expressed with great indignation, “You say that Mu Feng, why doesn’t he understand? Why does he still believe you are the culprit until now?” Saying this, Qianxi pounded the table in front of her with her fist.

Hearing these words, Xiao Wushuang’s eyes lit up, feelings of doubt surfacing. Didn’t everything get exposed that day? Could it be Mu Feng doesn’t believe in Muyun’s words? Could it be that Mu Feng completely trusts me? Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang felt a bit ecstatic, thinking, if that were the case, he would still be in good standing at that time.

“There is nothing I can do about this, but now the person Mu Feng trusts most is Muyun. If talking once doesn’t work, we can have Muyun talk several more times. After all, Muyun is Mu Feng’s son, and one day Mu Feng will understand that I am innocent.” Saying this, Xiao Yifei smiled, appearing less troubled.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, obviously agreeing very much with Xiao Yifei’s plan. However, Xiao Wushuang lurking in the shadows couldn’t sit still after hearing this because he initially thought he had avoided the crisis, only to realize the problem still lay with Muyun.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but recall his previous plan to kill Muyun. As he contemplated, Xiao Wushuang furrowed his brows, not intending to act rashly. After all, such things, unless absolutely certain, would only invite endless trouble.

“I hope Mu Feng will listen,” said Hua Lao, taking a deep sigh. At that moment, Muyun suddenly emerged from the side, which startled Xiao Wushuang, who was intently listening to Xiao Yifei and the others talk. Muyun slowly walked up to Xiao Yifei, smiling, and asked, “Xiao Yifei? What’s going on with you all?”

Hearing Muyun’s tone, Xiao Wushuang was even more shocked, not knowing when Xiao Yifei and Muyun’s relationship became so good. Just as Muyun spoke, he slowly put his right hand on Xiao Yifei’s shoulder. However, for Xiao Wushuang, this event was not a good thing.

The closer Xiao Yifei and Muyun became, the more likely Muyun would help Xiao Yifei, and considering everything he had heard earlier, Xiao Wushuang began to hope that Muyun wouldn’t meet with Mu Feng.
