Chapter 1074: Chapter 1066: Unwilling to Accept

At this moment, Xiao Yifei answered, “Sigh, it’s all because of your father.” Xiao Wushuang stopped thinking and continued listening to Xiao Yifei’s discussion.

Muyun, after hearing Xiao Yifei’s troubles, also began to think, and after a while, slowly said to Xiao Yifei, “How about this, tomorrow you invite my father over, and I’ll talk to him properly. He is my father, and he will definitely listen to me.” As he spoke, Muyun patted Xiao Yifei’s shoulder, signaling him not to worry too much.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded with a smile, “I hope so.” Xiao Yifei sighed. Then Xiao Yifei and the others chatted some more, but it was just inconsequential nonsense, so Xiao Wushuang left.

On the way back, Xiao Wushuang kept thinking about what Xiao Yifei and the others said earlier. In summary, Mu Feng still trusts Xiao Wushuang, as long as Muyun doesn’t continue to clarify things to Mu Feng, Mu Feng’s suspicion remains directed at Xiao Yifei.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang suddenly felt there was a turn for the better in the situation and suddenly broke into a joyful smile. Muyun, you still have to die, he thought, and somehow a small vial appeared in Xiao Wushuang’s hand, shaking the liquid inside, as Xiao Wushuang’s face twisted into a sinister grin.

However, Xiao Wushuang didn’t notice that just as he turned around, the corners of the mouths of Xiao Yifei and his group slightly curved upward, including Muyun.

Back in the room, Xiao Wushuang also made a decision. Since Muyun decided to clarify things to Mu Feng tomorrow, Xiao Wushuang would ensure Muyun never got the chance to speak. Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang’s eyes were as frenzied and evil as they were that day.

The next day at Muyun’s villa, “Master, where are you going in such a hurry?” The butler, seeing Mu Feng hastily passing by, felt puzzled. Upon hearing this, Mu Feng chuckled and said, “To put on a show.” With that, he ignored the bewildered butler and walked straight out the door.

Yesterday, Xiao Wushuang thought through today’s plan and secretly found out where Muyun’s room was, so today he had a clear objective for his actions.

Arriving at Muyun’s room, he found Muyun still resting; it looked like his weak body required frequent rest. However, for Xiao Wushuang, this was ideal; he wished Muyun would rest for a lifetime, never waking up.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang tiptoed closer to the bedside. From this angle, sunlight hit Xiao Wushuang’s face, making him momentarily dazed, but it was this moment that made him feel the scene was so familiar—the familiar face, the familiar quilt, and the familiar light.

Only that time it was moonlight, and this time it was the sun! Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but glance at Muyun on the bed—same face, but close scrutiny revealed nothing wrong. The shadow from that previous incident was quite severe, so Xiao Wushuang was extremely cautious.

He certainly didn’t wish that the one lying on the bed now was the previous “Shallow Stream.” After verifying everything was correct, Xiao Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, “Hope I’m just overthinking,” Xiao Wushuang quietly said to himself. After speaking, Xiao Wushuang decisively pulled out the vial containing poison from his pocket.

Just as he took it out, the sunlight outside the window shone directly on the vial, making the sun seem strangely dazzling. But Xiao Wushuang didn’t care. He skillfully opened the vial and quickly brought it to Muyun’s lips, then used another hand to open Muyun’s lips and rapidly poured the liquid inside.

After quickly executing all this, Xiao Wushuang gasped for breath, hurriedly withdrawing his hand due to the fear of someone catching it. Yet, after observing for a while, Xiao Wushuang didn’t see anything that could stop him, so he relaxed. Thinking he succeeded, Xiao Wushuang started feeling inexplicably excited; now, no one could stop him.

Xiao Wushuang’s face showed a cold smile, “Ah Muyun, Muyun, ultimately I have the upper hand.” Xiao Wushuang muttered to himself, slowly waiting for the poison to take effect. Shortly after, Muyun on the bed appeared very painful, starting to struggle endlessly.

Watching the scene unfold, Xiao Wushuang knew well that his poison had started to work. In just a few minutes, Muyun, improved by him, would become a corpse. Indeed, after a few minutes, Muyun gradually stopped convulsing and lay quietly on the bed.

Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang smiled. To be diligent, he held his hand up to Muyun’s nose, “Ha ha ha ha!” Xiao Wushuang withdrew his fingers, bursting into wild laughter, because now Muyun truly was a corpse, meaning he was safe; it was Xiao Yifei who was in trouble now!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang looked ferociously at Muyun before him; the sunlight outside didn’t quite match this scene—splendor outdoors, death within.

Slowly putting the poison back into his pocket while pulling out a piece of paper from Muyun’s bedside, he wiped his hands with it forcefully. Like in all movies, murders are followed by hand washing, and for Xiao Wushuang, this was akin to post-murder hand wiping. As he wiped, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t contain his excitement, laughing happily once more.

“What’s making you so happy?” Originally still in excitement, Xiao Wushuang was startled by this voice, quickly discarding the paper in his hand and turning to see the person behind.

Now he saw Xiao Yifei leaning against the doorframe, smiling as he looked at Xiao Wushuang. However, Xiao Wushuang’s expression was much less pleasant. Nonetheless, he didn’t seem scared; with Muyun dead, whatever he said would only lead to Xiao Yifei being wrongly accused, and he would be seen as the good person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang suddenly sneered, “What are you doing here?” Xiao Wushuang asked with disdain as he stared at Xiao Yifei. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei’s expression didn’t change, he still smiled at Xiao Wushuang and said, “I’m here to deliver medicine for Mr. Muyun.” As he spoke, Xiao Yifei glanced at Muyun lying on the bed and continued, “But it seems there’s no need for that now.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wushuang also knew that Xiao Yifei realized he had killed Muyun, but what puzzled Xiao Wushuang was that Xiao Yifei seemed utterly unbothered, as if the death had nothing to do with him. Yet, Muyun was the only person who could prove Xiao Yifei’s innocence, there’s no reason for Xiao Yifei to be so composed.

So Xiao Wushuang tried to probe, saying, “Xiao Yifei, your only witness is gone now. Let’s see what you’ll do.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yifei chuckled, “Yes, what should I do, sigh. Looks like I’ll bear this stain on my name for life.” Saying so, Xiao Yifei put on a grieving expression. Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang laughed with joy, in his eyes, Xiao Yifei should be accepting reality now.

However, what Xiao Wushuang never noticed was that since Xiao Yifei came to bring medicine for Muyun, Xiao Yifei never held any medicine all along, and his appearance seemed orchestrated.
