Chapter 86 Cutting Wheat The first thing Bai Li thought of was that this man was following her! His previous disregard for her was all pretense, intended to lull her into complacency. He was just waiting for her to reveal a flaw so he could completely close the deal with her. When she thought of this, her body tensed up. The orchid seemed to sense her emotional changes and shook off the blood on its body, looking as if it was ready to loyally protect its master and fight to the death. Levi seemed not to see them at all and walked straight past Bai Li. He walked up to the tax collector's wife who was huddled in the corner, and under the woman's terrified gaze, he placed the broken sickle on her neck. "I have a few questions. Answer them and I'll give you a quick death." The tax collector's wife was trembling all over. She looked at Bai Li with pleading and pitiful eyes. She subconsciously thought that they were actually in the same group, but now they were in internal disagreement. One of them had compassion and wanted to let the people go, while the other wanted to kill them all! She felt that her only chance of survival now lay in Bai Li. But Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief after Levi passed by her. She was very clear about the difference in power between the two of them. She should be thankful that this man didn't cause her trouble. Why did she have to ask him to persuade her? She is a wise person who knows the times, not a fool. Seeing that Bai Li turned his head away and didn't look at her at all, and that the orchid also had its buds turned upside down, with its two leaves crossed together and its roots stepping on the floor one by one, as if it was studying how exquisite the ceiling was, the tax collector's wife was really desperate.
She could only shift her gaze to Levi again. "Your man has a powerful relative who, more than a year ago, even managed to have a week-long snowfall in Zhulan to celebrate his birthday. Do you know who this person is?" The woman nodded in agreement, her voice stuttering as she replied. "I, I don't know if my husband has any relatives of high status. More than a year ago, there was a heavy snowstorm that lasted for a week, but the Council issued a notice saying that it was because of a problem with the weather cloud on the dome. It was only thanks to Lanting's full efforts to save it that greater losses were avoided." "First, sir, you must have been misled by some people. Those unfounded rumors were deliberately spread by those lowly beasts in order to evade their responsibilities. I, we are all educated and moral people. How could we do such a thing?" The tax collector's wife tried hard to control her gaze and not to avoid Levi's. Instead, she kept looking directly into Levi's eyes. Of course she has her own little thoughts in mind. It can be seen that whether it is the girl carrying a strange plant or the murderous young man in front of him, they are all scientists who have mastered the rules! If you want to become a scientist, you must first have access to knowledge and second, be injected with the key. These two are resources strictly controlled by the central government and the college! Those lowly beasts are not even qualified to get these two things, they don’t even have the money to leave this city. So she never had any doubt that the two people in front of her were the same "kind of people" as them. They stormed into her house and hacked her husband to death, just because of an unruly vendetta among the upper classes. Just like the question the young man just asked, he wanted to find the powerful person who was rumored to have created a heavy snowfall for a birthday party, which resulted in the entire city suffering losses that year. This is a power struggle at the top of Zhulan! She could only pathetically say what Lanting officially said to the public, hoping to arouse the sympathy of the young man in front of her, and even deliberately let the straps of her sexy pajamas slip off her shoulders, revealing a large area of white and round breasts. However, what she did not notice was that when she said the word "beast", even Bai Li, who originally had sympathy and wanted to let her go, became extremely cold. There was no change on Levi's face. He just nodded slightly, as if he agreed with her words, and then continued to ask. "Is there anyone else in your family?" When the tax collector's wife saw his reaction, her eyes showed obvious joy, but she still looked pitiful.
"There are also my husband's elderly parents and my obedient and sensible son. We don't know what my husband did outside. We are all kind people. We are wholeheartedly working for this city and for Lanting's safe and stable life." Her words made Bai Li's face reveal complete disgust, and the hand holding the rusty kitchen knife began to tremble again, as she felt disgusted by her own ridiculous compassion. Levi nodded lightly again. He no longer had anything else to ask. Since this woman could not provide any valuable information, her own value naturally ended here. But when she saw Levi nod again, the woman's face became even more charming and delicate. She seemed to know very clearly what her advantages were and how to use such advantages to touch a man's heart. Just like her husband, he liked to see her like this and torture her severely. "We are a family of orphans and a widow. We have elderly people to take care of, sir." Just as she was crying tenderly with her head down, she was suddenly horrified to find out from the corner of her eye that Levi had raised the worn and dirty sickle at some point! “No! Don’t!!” As she screamed, the tip of the sickle easily pierced into her heart! The sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh was very subtle, but it sounded so clear in the silent night! The woman's lifeless eyes widened and she completely turned into a cold corpse. Levi pulled out the bloody sickle again with an expressionless face, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the door like an old farmer who had just finished harvesting wheat, ready to continue harvesting the next wheat field. However, before Levi could open the door, there was a knock on the door. "You disturbed my sleep! Can you please stop playing so extravagantly? Last time you scolded me for forcing Xiaoli to play too much. Dad, you and Auntie played even more excessively!" Levi opened the door and saw a boy with an impatient look on his face standing outside. He looked to be about 15 or 6 years old, tall and strong. When he saw that it was a strange man walking out of his parents' room, he was stunned at first, and then the sickle scratched his throat! Blood gushed out! No matter how hard he tried to cover the cut artery in his neck with his hands, he couldn't stop the bleeding! Levi kicked his staggering body away and left him lying on the side waiting to die. Then he looked at another room not far away, where an old man with an irritable look heard the noise and pushed the door open and walked out. "What are you arguing about in the middle of the night?"
