139.Nowhere to hide

"Can you truly not comprehend?" Upon hearing Paulo Laura's words, Bidegla could already surmise that he had a significant connection to his past. Every subtle change in his facial expression had fallen under Bidegla's scrutiny, despite the other party's efforts to conceal them. From head to toe, Paulo Laura had been laid bare before Bidegla, so how could he continue to hide?

"I genuinely cannot understand what you are saying," Paulo Laura shook his head, his expression composed.

"Bidegla, do you suspect my son?" Maik Laura directed his gaze at Bidegla, his expression filled with doubt.

He was well aware of his son's temperament. If his father had harmed his daughter, he would not believe it was Paulo Laura who had harmed Jennie Laura. After all, their sibling relationship had always been good since childhood, making such actions impossible.

"I do not suspect, I am certain. We have overlooked one thing, that is, if you were to fall, Zhubin Laura would benefit the most. But if Jennie sister were to be killed, the one to benefit the most remains uncertain. Moreover, people's hearts are inscrutable, and no one knows what others are truly thinking," Bidegla said with a cold smile.

"Bidegla, what are you talking about?" At this point, Jennie Laura also tugged at Bidegla, speaking.

At this moment, Bidegla undeniably seemed somewhat irrational. Suspecting others at random? How could his own brother possibly harm him?

"I mean all of this might be orchestrated by your brother," Bidegla asserted, causing many to shift their gaze onto Paulo Laura.

Paulo Laura had always been low-key within the family, never engaging in disputes with others, like a big boy. Many held a favorable impression of him.

"It's impossible," Jennie Laura shook her head, saying, "Paulo would never harm me. You can say that about others, but I won't allow you to say it about him."

Jennie Laura's voice carried a hint of anger, leaving Bidegla feeling extremely helpless. Now even his father and daughter didn't believe his words, making him feel embarrassed.

"Since you all don't believe me, then forget it. I will personally ask him," saying this, Bidegla released Jennie's hand and approached Paulo Laura alone.

Paulo Laura was tall, probably around 1.8 meters. If Bidegla hadn't undergone rigorous training, he would definitely have been shorter than him. But now, after all the years of training, he had already reached around 1.85 meters, making him appear significantly taller than Paulo Laura.

In terms of innate strength, Bidegla already imposed considerable pressure on Paulo Laura, and the frigid aura emanating from Bidegla now was making Paulo Laura feel extremely uncomfortable.

Having grown up in the Mingyue Manor, although he had committed many unspeakable deeds in secret, those people had always treated him with deference and fear. This had fostered a sense of superiority deep within him. Thus, suddenly encountering Bidegla's icy aura, he felt his breathing becoming difficult.

"You say you cannot understand, yet why is your heart beating so rapidly?" Bidegla fixed his gaze on Paulo Laura, asking quickly.

"What does that have to do with you?" Despite being somewhat afraid of Bidegla's aura, Paulo Laura still gritted his teeth and replied.

The deeds he committed remained shrouded in secrecy, as he faced Bidegla's interrogation fearlessly. He was determined not to be implicated, holding steadfast to his silence with unwavering resolve. "Of course there's a connection," Bidegla nodded, then continued, "When I mentioned that you were the mastermind, I saw a distinct stiffness in your countenance. Do not assume that you can conceal anything from me, for in my presence, nothing remains hidden." "Furthermore, I am a medical expert, and I can sense that your heart rate is more than twice that of an average person. It is clear that you are harboring some deep fear." "I am not afraid of anything, please refrain from making baseless accusations, or I can sue you for defamation." Upon hearing Paulo Laura's words, Bidegla merely smiled faintly, then gazed deeply into Paulo Laura's eyes and declared, "Previously, I had some doubts that you were the culprit, but now I am certain that you were the one who hired an assassin to harm your sister." "To accuse without evidence," Paulo Laura retorted, growing visibly angry. "Your heart rate has increased significantly once again, indicating that you are desperately trying to conceal something. Your impassive expression does not reflect what your heart may be experiencing. Tell me, what is your ultimate purpose?" "Bidegla, do not pressure him. I believe he is not the culprit," Jennie Laura interjected, her face filled with concern. She couldn't bear to witness her brother and the person she cared for being at odds. "Jennie, this does not concern you at the moment. Once I have finished questioning, justice will be served," Bidegla spoke without turning his head. "Though I respect you as my future brother-in-law, I will not yield to your unfounded accusations," Paulo Laura's handsome face was now covered in sweat, whether from fear or some other cause unknown. "Accusing me?" Bidegla chuckled, unconcerned. "Whether what I say is true or not, you know in your heart. To achieve your goals, you are willing to sacrifice even your own sister. I truly do not understand the nature of your heart." "At such a young age, you already possess such a ruthless heart. If you were to achieve your goals, the entire Laura family would suffer at your hands." "Your words are baseless. Do you think I will believe what you say?" Paulo Laura responded, feigning composure. However, Bidegla's words had stirred up a storm in his heart, causing his heartbeat to quicken, as if it might burst from his chest. "Speak, was it you back then?" Suddenly, Bidegla reached out and grabbed Paulo Laura's hand with great force, using all his might. Paulo Laura was clearly the culprit, and although Bidegla had no solid evidence, it did not mean he couldn't get the truth out of the other man. "Let go of me!" Bidegla's grip was too strong, causing Paulo Laura's face to contort in pain. "Bidegla, what are you doing?" Maik Laura was shocked to see Bidegla resort to physical force, unleashing a powerful aura. "Master, help me restrain these people. If anyone makes a move, kill them on the spot," Bidegla spoke without looking back, causing the others present to pale in shock. Bidegla was truly ruthless, daring to make such threats at the Mingyue Manor.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe my disciple will not cause any trouble. There is no need to worry," Shadow Dread slowly stood up, although he did not show any sign of breath, at this moment, no one dared to stop Bidegla from doing anything.

"Why did you do this?" Bidegla used more force, and almost everyone present could hear the bone-crunching sound, sending chills down their spines.

"I did not do it. Even if you kill me, I will not yield," Paulo Laura shouted, his eyes filled with fury.

"Haha, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Suddenly, Bidegla laughed, a cruel smile on his face. He no longer grabbed Paulo Laura's arm, but instead grabbed his neck, lifting him up effortlessly.

A twenty-year-old adult, easily lifted by Bidegla, his strength was astonishing.

"Although I have no evidence to prove that you were the one behind all this, your heartbeat has betrayed your inner thoughts. And the last jewelry robbery at the Laura store, I believe you ordered it," Bidegla said coldly.

"I'll tell you, the people you sent have already died at my hands, and before they died, they confessed your existence to me. I didn't do anything to you before because you are Jennie Laura's brother. I didn't want to harm you. I didn't expect you to be so unrepentant. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to spare your life," Bidegla said, emanating a murderous aura.

"Impossible!" Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Paulo Laura let out a loud cry and continued to struggle.

"There's nothing impossible. Those people were just a bunch of cowards. Under the threat of death, do you think they would have any more secrets to tell?" Bidegla's voice was cold.

"They were my carefully chosen warriors, absolutely not capable of betraying me," Paulo Laura roared, sounding incredulous.

"Haha..." Suddenly, Bidegla laughed, then loosened his grip and threw Paulo Laura to the ground.

He had already obtained the answer he wanted; the mastermind behind everything was Paulo Laura.

He didn't know how to interrogate Paulo Laura, but the memory of the last jewelry robbery came to him suddenly, which led to Paulo Laura's outburst.

At this moment, the gazes of the people around all fell on Paulo Laura, filled with incomprehension, hatred, mockery, and confusion.

No one had expected that the always low-key Paulo Laura was the mastermind behind everything. When Jennie Laura was in high school, he was probably only in junior high?

At such a young age, he was able to hire someone to commit murder. Such a merciless heart chilled them all.

"Paulo, why did you do this?" Maik Laura also turned his gaze to his adopted son.

If Bidegla hadn't questioned him today, he might never have known that the person who hurt his daughter was his own son.

After years of hardship, he finally raised him to the age of twenty, but he never expected him to be such a ruthless person.

"No... it's not like that," Paulo Laura panicked at his father's words, then pointed at Bidegla with a heart-wrenching expression, "It's all his doing, it has nothing to do with me."

"At this juncture, you still refuse to repent. I will grant you an opportunity to confess everything. Spare your life. If you do not comply, I assure you that you will not survive," Maik Laura spoke, exuding an intense and formidable aura.

"It truly wasn't me, father. Would you rather believe an outsider than trust me?" Paulo Laura shouted, his eyes filled with rage and hatred towards Bidegla.

His hasty words had brought about this disastrous situation, a classic case of the harm that can come from a loose tongue.

"Bring someone here to dismember one of his arms for me," Maik Laura's heart ached at the sight of Paulo Laura in such a state, but knowing his stubbornness, he had no choice but to act ruthlessly.

"Father, I will confess, I will tell you everything," seeing Maik Laura's determination, Paulo Laura's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

At that moment, his face displayed no trace of composure, only a ferociousness that would strike fear into the hearts of anyone who looked upon it.

This was not the countenance one would expect from someone in their early twenties, causing those around him to instinctively distance themselves, as if avoiding a plague.
