Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty Chapter 86: The World’s Most Handsome, My Valiant

The furnishings in the room were simple, with a small reception hall containing a table and chairs upon entry.

Passing through the reception hall and a few screens led to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, there was an old-fashioned wooden bed, with a wardrobe beside it, and directly opposite the window stood a wooden vanity table.

On the vanity table, there were several photo fras.

Lu Xiao picked up a photo fra, his eyes sowhat hazy.

In the photo, a young couple nestled together, faces brimming with happy smiles.

In the woman’s arms, there was an infant.

On the infant’s left forearm, there was a small patch of red birthmark.

Lu Xiao lifted his left hand, the birthmark still there, just faded a bit from his childhood.

"So it turns out, I take after my mom," Lu Xiao said, looking at the photo and letting out a soft chuckle, although his eyes reddened even as he smiled.

He was actually quite mischievous as a child.

His master couldn’t always keep him under control, and when he couldn’t, his master would get angry.

When he was angry, the most frequent thing his master would say was, "You little rascal are so annoying, no idea who you take after!"

Today, half of that question had been answered.

I, Lu Xiao, resemble my mother.

Setting down the photo fra, Lu Xiao pulled open the drawer of the vanity table.

Inside were so pieces of jewelry.

But with the passage of ti, the jewelry had all oxidized and beco dated.

Next to the jewelry, there was also a small booklet.

Lu Xiao picked up the booklet and flipped through it, each page a photo of himself with dates written underneath, as well as so words of blessing.

The handwriting was graceful, probably his mother’s as well.

Lu Xiao flipped through the pages, his face occasionally breaking into smiles.

Through his mother’s blessing words, he could roughly discern her personality.

She must have been an interesting person, because, after all, in just over thirty lines of blessing words, she had co up with eight different nicknas for him.

The nas started out fairly normal, like "Xiao Xiao," but later beca increasingly casual.

When she was in a good mood, it was "Brother Xiao," "Xiao Darling," "The World’s Handsost My Xiao," and the like, and when in a bad mood, it was "Annoying Xiao," "Detestable Xiao," "Mayao Xiao"...

Soon, Lu Xiao reached the last page of the booklet.

There was no photo attached on the last page, only large patches of yellowing traces on the paper.

Beneath those traces, there was a line of small text.

"Xiao Xiao, I’m so sorry, your mom and dad might not be able to be there for you as you grow up... I really am so sorry."

Upon reading this line, Lu Xiao could no longer hold back his tears.

Tears stread down his cheeks, dropping onto the booklet one by one.

Soon, the tears seeped into the paper, slowly spreading out, overlapping with the original yellowed traces on the page.

So... these were all tears, his mother’s tears.

Lu Xiao could hardly imagine how reluctant and desperate his mother had been then.

After a long while, Lu Xiao slowly closed the booklet, then carefully tucked it into his chest.

Next, Lu Xiao took out his phone and dialed Arthur’s number: "Help look into sothing, if you find it, I’ll join your Black Lotus for a year; as for what, I’ll send it to your email later."

Having said that, Lu Xiao imdiately hung up the call, then dialed the Abyss, the sa ssage, the sa conditions.

After contacting both Black Lotus and the Abyss, Lu Xiao called one of the top three private intelligence organizations in the world.

Lastly, Lu Xiao got in touch with White Clothes Pavilion; their intelligence capabilities may not be up to snuff internationally, but dostically they were quite good. Especially the Elder Council’s clans, although not as powerful as the big clans in Shengjing, they had their own thods.

"Just need to find one," Lu Xiao muttered, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Finding any clue to the Goo Clan would do, just to have a starting point to locate the Lu Family and the Situ Family.

As for what to do after finding them, of course, it was revenge.

He wanted to know exactly who had participated in the pursuit and assassination of his parents, and then... not leave a single one alive.

If they don’t cooperate or confess, then they might as well... all go die.
