CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: MIAO QIDAO’S DAGGER

All negotiations were completed, and everyone was pleased, except for Xu Tian.

Half an hour later, the villa courtyard’s dining table was laid out with food and drinks once again.

Lu Xiao, Jiang Lan, Hu Sheng, Qin Kai, and Xu Baiye took their seats, while Xu Tian had already been sent to Pingshan Village.

If Lu Xiao hadn’t given his approval, Xu Tian might have had to stay there for the rest of his life.

At the dining table, Lu Xiao had lost his appetite, while Hu Sheng was quite delighted with himself.

As for Qin Kai, Jiang Lan, and Xu Baiye, the three were still digesting everything that had happened today.

"By the way, Mr. Lu," Jiang Lan suddenly turned to Lu Xiao after who knows how long, "I have some news about the Jade Token you asked me to look into yesterday."

Lu Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up.

Truth be told, he hadn’t been very hopeful.

He had asked some international superintelligence agencies to look into the Jade Token before but to no avail.

"Let’s hear it."

Jiang Lan took out Lu Xiao’s Jade Token from his pocket, and then pulled an ancient-looking dagger from his waist.

"Mr. Lu, please take a look, are the characters on this dagger the same as those on the Jade Token?" Jiang Lan handed the Jade Token and the dagger to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao only glanced at them for a moment before concluding, the same "rain" character on both.

Both the style of the writing and the carving method were exactly the same.

"Where did this dagger come from?" Lu Xiao asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

Jiang Lan pointed at Hu Sheng and said, "This dagger was in his shoulder when I saved him three years ago."

Hu Sheng, who had been bragging excitedly, was also taken aback, the dagger that was in my shoulder three years ago?

"Mr. Lu, the dagger belonged to my master," Hu Sheng immediately said.

Lu Xiao frowned.

Miao Qidao’s?

What was your master playing at by stabbing you?

"My master used this dagger to stab Black Jack, who then pulled it out and stabbed it into my shoulder," Hu Sheng explained.

Lu Xiao was speechless upon hearing Hu Sheng’s explanation.

Of course, Lu Xiao was more concerned about why young Miao Qidao had this dagger.

Miao Qidao had seen his Jade Token before.

Which meant that Miao Qidao might have always been aware of something about his own heritage.

But why didn’t he say anything?

Moreover, according to Arthur, Black Lotus had never gone after Miao Qidao.

Could it be that the Butcher and Black Jack’s actions were also related to this dagger?

"Things are getting more and more interesting," Lu Xiao took a deep breath and then turned to Jiang Lan, "Don’t look into anything else from now on, neither the Jade Token nor Miao Qidao."

The matter had already gone beyond White Clothes Pavilion’s capacity.

If they continued to dig deeper, the other party might trace it back to them, potentially exposing him.

"Understood, Mr. Lu," Jiang Lan immediately nodded.

"Let’s leave it at that, then. Go about your business; I have other matters to attend to," Lu Xiao said before leaving the Xu Family residence.

After leaving the Xu Family, Lu Xiao once again called Arthur.

The phone took almost half a minute to connect.

"Did you find anything?" Lu Xiao asked directly, not one for small talk.

On the other end of the phone, Arthur’s forehead was beaded with sweat.

He wasn’t a coward, but he couldn’t help feeling nervous every time he heard Lu Xiao’s voice.

This man was just too powerful.

"I found something, not sure if it’s useful. Should I send it to your email?" Arthur’s tone was full of caution.

"Yes."

"Also, if you come across any warnings or threats while investigating, let me know immediately," Lu Xiao added.

Arthur swallowed hard, what in the world are you trying to investigate?

Warnings or threats? Is it that scary?

We are Black Lotus, the world’s number one assassination organization; what kind of force is so vicious that it would threaten us?

Of course, Arthur didn’t dare say this out loud, nor did he dare to ask any more questions.

Asking too much, and if the Major did another rampage through Black Lotus, he really would be meeting God.

"Okay, okay, Major."

After hanging up on Arthur, Lu Xiao returned to the Qin Family Old Mansion.

Qin Shengqiang’s funeral was still ongoing, and Lu Xiao ignored the guests coming and going, heading straight for Zhai Tianmin’s medical room.

"Mr. Lu, you’ve arrived, I was just thinking..."

"Be quiet." Zhai Tianmin was about to speak but was interrupted by Lu Xiao, "How is Old Qin? When can he wake up?"

He had already asked Qin Youling before, and the Jade Pendant was indeed given by Old Qin.

Therefore, Old Qin must know something.

"I was just about to tell you, there’s been a problem with Old Sir Qin!" Zhai Tianmin slapped his thigh.
