Chapter 66

As a soldier, the first thing to learn is to remain calm and restrained. However, the scene just now had a significant psychological impact on Xiao Bing. He was not even sure how he managed to control himself and refrain from killing anyone in that state of rage. When Xiao Bing walked out of the dilapidated building, those people were already lying on the ground, but they had not suffered any serious injuries. This matter was not related to them; there was a specific person responsible, and Xiao Bing naturally intended to find that person.

Julia held a wine glass, sitting on the balcony with her legs crossed, gazing at the entire city. She usually gave Xiao Bing a cold and beautiful impression, but at that moment, her expression was like a mist, impossible to read.

Perhaps because the air was too stuffy, she reached out and opened a window. A gentle breeze blew past, and Julia gently extended her hand, staring blankly at her tender, pink palm, muttering to herself, "The sky is still clear, why do I feel a bit cold..."

Julia sighed softly. At that moment, there was a knock at the door. She glanced at the time; Xiao Bing should be arriving soon. She slowly stood up and, as she walked back to the room, she lightly undid two buttons on her collar before leaving the room to open the door for Xiao Bing.

Sure enough, it was Xiao Bing standing at the door, but his face did not look good. Julia knew that Xiao Bing had come to invite her, but for some reason, Xiao Bing seemed to need more comfort. Moreover, she sensed a strange aura from him, which made her feel afraid.

"What's wrong, don't you welcome me?"

"How could that be." Julia gave a melancholy smile, "Come in and change your shoes."

Xiao Bing changed into slippers and walked in, then asked, "Are you alone at home? Where is your husband?"

"He..." Julia sighed deeply, "Let's not talk about him. Come in and sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Xiao Bing walked into the living room and sat down. Julia gracefully entered the kitchen and, a few minutes later, brought a cup of tea and placed it beside Xiao Bing, then said with a bitter smile, "Thank you for coming to see me."

"Sure." Xiao Bing looked at Julia and asked, "Lia, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?"

Julia sighed and shook her head, "Actually, I've thought about it many times, but... I can't do it. I have to be true to my conscience. Haha, do you think I'm foolish?"

"Maybe." Xiao Bing picked up the hot tea, blew on it lightly, and took a sip, smiling, "It smells so good!"

Julia smiled, "If it tastes good, drink it while it's hot. It's high-quality tea, which I rarely drink myself."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I heard that ancient death row inmates would have a good meal before execution."

Julia was startled and asked, "Xiao Bing, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, just a thought... I used to be a soldier and often went on special missions, so there were a few things I had to be able to do, one of which was to identify poisons. Otherwise, I might be unknowingly poisoned at any time."

Julia's face turned a bit pale, and she said angrily, "Are you saying I poisoned you with poison?"

"Actually, you've been poisoning me all along. Beauty is a deadly poison, haven't you heard that saying?"

Julia stood up in a huff, her face completely cold, and said coldly, "Get out. I don't welcome you here."

Xiao Bing stood there, looking at Julia calmly.

Julia pointed at Xiao Bing, her voice trembling with anger, "You... you bastard."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, why be so angry? Actually, you look quite good when you're angry, but... it's too fake. Why don't you sit down and listen to what I have to say?"

Julia sat down and said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it. I don't welcome you here."

Xiao Bing's eyes fixed on Julia, his tone icy, "Zhang Gui is dead."

"What... what?" Julia looked clearly shocked.

Xiao Bing said, "Your man is dead."

Julia stood up, her face turning pale, her body trembling slightly.

Xiao Bing sighed, "If it were a day ago, I might have been deceived by your performance, but now there's no need to act... Did you send someone to kill him? Why did you kill him?"

Julia's voice was hoarse, "He? Is he really dead? How did he die? You're lying, you must be lying!"

Julia's eyes were red, and she suddenly rushed to Xiao Bing, trying to hit him, but Xiao Bing grabbed her hands and threw her heavily to the floor. Julia slowly got up from the ground, looking at Xiao Bing in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "Are you crazy?"

Xiao Bing looked at her coldly. Julia could never have imagined that Xiao Bing would have such a look. A chill rose from her feet and spread throughout her body.

"Zhang Gui was never married; he wasn't your man. You paid to hire him to act out this scene, for 200,000, a huge sum!"

Although Zhang Gui said nothing before he died, from Zhang Gui and Sakura, Xiao Bing could sense that people like them would never betray their feelings, so the story between Zhang Gui and Julia was absurd.

Sure enough, Julia's face changed, and she finally calmed down. She sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Bing and asked, "Do you know everything?"

"Yes, today Zhang Gui was killed. Before he died, I saw him and learned that he had a woman he deeply loved." Xiao Bing sighed, "That woman was just a streetwalker, but their love was pure and simple. At that moment, I felt that Zhang Gui was great. Julia, to achieve your goal, you sent a pair of deeply in love people to their graves. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"It wasn't me who killed him." Julia's eyes were slightly dim, "But I'm not sad or guilty. He was just a tool for me."

"If it wasn't you who sent someone to kill him, then it must be the person behind you who did it. Julia, before I came, I hoped all my suspicions were false, but after entering this room, everything was shattered. First, the hidden camera in the room... did you think you could hide it from me?"

Julia looked at Xiao Bing in terror. The word "devil" popped into her mind.

Xiao Bing stood up, pointing at the hidden camera in the corner with a cold smile on his face.

In a room in the Heavenly King Hall, the Peony Fairy was watching this scene, with Zhu Mingyu standing beside her. When Xiao Bing pointed at the camera, Zhu Mingyu's cold face changed color. Even without seeing with his eyes, he could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Bing.

The Peony Fairy, wearing a veil, had an indistinct expression, but her pupils quickly contracted, showing surprise and anger.

Xiao Bing smiled coldly, pointing at the camera and said in a stern and domineering tone, "No matter who you are, you have now angered me. From now on, I will tell you... I will take your lives. Some people died because of me, so I will take your lives in return!"

After saying that, Xiao Bing flicked his finger, and a steel ball shot out, shattering the camera. The surveillance video in the room in the Heavenly King Hall turned black.

The Peony Fairy slapped the armrest of the chair, breaking it instantly. Her chest heaved with boundless anger, "He... he actually dared to threaten me. This Xiao Bing must die!"

After destroying the surveillance equipment, Xiao Bing slowly sat back down, looking at Julia calmly and asked, "Tell me, who is the person behind you controlling everything? And, since you had the chance, why didn't you poison me when I came to drink last time, but this time... the tea was poisoned."

Since everything had been exposed by Xiao Bing, Julia had no reason to hide. She had already made up her mind to die. From Xiao Bing's eyes today, she could see that this man could no longer be tempted by beauty, meaning her strongest weapon had failed. She was doomed to die today.

After thinking this through, Julia calmed down and faced Xiao Bing calmly, saying in a calm tone, "I needed to lower your guard last time so that I could ensure success this time. More importantly, my master wanted to see you fall, to prove that you were a lustful man, but she was disappointed... so this time she asked me to end your life?"

Xiao Bing smiled coldly, "And she wanted to see it all?"

"Yes... so she had me set up the surveillance, but it became the second flaw."

Xiao Bing sighed, "Alright, tell me, who is your master?"

"I can't say." Julia looked at Xiao Bing, "You can kill me, but I can't say... my master has done me a favor, and even if I lose my life, I can't say."

"I understand." Xiao Bing slowly stood up and suddenly shouted, "Why does the Northern Heavenly King want my life!"

Julia blurted out, "It's not my master, it's Xie Lun who asked her to kill you..."

After saying that, Julia's face turned pale. Xiao Bing smiled coldly and nodded, "As expected, Xie Lun found the Northern Heavenly King, and the Northern Heavenly King arranged for you to seduce me and then kill me. What a reckless Xie Lun, what a Northern Heavenly King!"

After saying that, Xiao Bing walked towards the door. Julia suddenly shouted, "Why don't you kill me?"

"I won't kill you... because you are also a pitiful person controlled by fate... and enough people have died today."

After saying that, Xiao Bing walked to the door, put on his shoes, and left, leaving Julia alone in the living room.

Julia staggered to the seat where Xiao Bing had just sat, picked up the cup of tea he had drunk, and gulped it down. Her body swayed, and she laughed and cried. Soon, her abdomen began to cramp, her face turned purple, and blood flowed from her nose, mouth, and ears, black blood...
