Chapter 65 Dead (1/2)

As a military man, the first thing he learned was how to calm and restrain himself, but the scene he just saw was just too shocking for him. He didn't even know how he managed not to kill them when his anger took over. These men were knocked out when Xiao Bing walked out of that dilapidated building, but none of them were seriously injured because they were not responsible for the couple's deaths. It was the men who murdered Zhang Gui that Xiao Bing wanted.

Holding a goblet, Zhu Liya was sitting beside the balcony and was overlooking the entire city. Instead of being cold like the way she usually made Xiao Bing feel, she looked mysterious like mist, making it hard for people to know what she was thinking.

She reached out and opened a window. She raised her hand and looked at her pink, soft palm as a breeze came by. She murmured, ”Why am I feeling slightly cold. It's a sunny day...”

The door was being knocked on when she gently sighed. She took a look at her watch and thought Xiao Bing should be near, so she slowly stood up and loosened two buttons on her collar while walking back to her room. She went to open the door.

As she expected, it was Xiao Bing, but she noticed that something was wrong. Zhu Liya knew Xiao Bing was supposed to give her comfort, but somehow Xiao Bing seemed to be more in need of it. She felt something strange on his body, which terrified her.”

”What? Am I not welcome here?”

”Of course you are.” She managed to put on a smile and said, ”Put on the slippers and come in.”

Xiao Bing put on the slippers and walked in. Then he asked, ”You're alone? Where's your husband?”

”He...” Zhu Liya slightly sighed, ”Let's not talk about him. Please seat yourself. I'll make you a cup of tea.”

Xiao Bing walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Zhu Liya elegantly went into the kitchen and came back with a cup of tea a couple of minutes later. She placed it beside Xiao Bing and put on a bitter smile, ”Thank you for visiting me.”

Xiao Bing looked into her eyes and asked, ”Liya, have you ever thought about a divorce?”

Zhu Liya sighed while shaking her head, ”Actually I have thought about it many times, but... I just can't. I have to live with a conscience. How stupid I am, right?”

”Perhaps.” Xiao Bing picked up the cup and blew on it. He gently took a breath and grinned, ”It smells so good!”

”Drink while it's still hot. I rarely treat myself with such fine tea leaves,” said Zhu Liya with a smile.

666 Xiao Bing grinned, ”I heard that criminals held in death row in ancient times would be fed well before their execution.”

Shocked, Zhu Liya asked, ”Xiao Bing, what do you mean by saying this?”

”It's nothing. I just felt... I was always carrying out some special tasks when I used to be a soldier and I had to be capable of a couple of things to do them. One of them was the ability to detect poison otherwise I could be poisoned at any time without knowing it.”

Zhu Liya's face turned terrible. She seemed to be slighted angered, ”So you mean that there's poison in the tea?”

”In fact, you have always been poisoning me. A woman's beauty is as lethal as poison. Haven't you heard of this?”

Zhu Liya's face turned completely cold. She angrily stood up and said with indifference, ”You should go. You're no longer welcome here.”

But Xiao Bing didn't move. He just kept staring at her.

Zhu Liya pointed her finger at Xiao Bing and said with her voice trembling, ”You... you asshole.”

Smiling, Xiao Bing said, ”Mrs. Zhu, you don't have to be so angry. You look cute when you're angry though, but it's just so... artificial. Why don't you sit down and let me tell you about it.”

Zhu Liya sat down and said in a cold voice, ”Make it quick. You're not welcome here anymore.”

Xiao Bing fixed his eyes on her and said in an indifferent tone, ”Zhang Gui is dead.”

”Wait...what?” Zhu Liya seemed to be startled.

”Your husband is dead.”

Zhu Liya stood up. Her face paled a little and her body was slightly shivering.

Xiao Bing sighed, ”I probably would be fooled by your professional acting yesterday, but you don't have to do it now. You sent those men to kill him, right? Why did you do it?”

Zhu Liya said in a hoarse voice, ”Is he really dead? How? You must be lying. It's a lie!”
