Byron's Blade

Mu Li's dinner party was set at a well-known French restaurant near the military and police base. This place was chosen by Rui Qiao, and this guy came here for the steak.

It was the first time in Mu Li's life that he entered such a high-end western restaurant.The mother and daughter Mary and Dora seemed a bit restrained, and they had never been to such a high-end restaurant.Originally, they just wanted to make a homely meal for Mu Li and Rui Qiao, but who would have thought that things would develop like this.

Originally, Mu Li planned to call Inoue Kazuya, but the girl was probably really ashamed, and she actually said that she had something to do that she couldn't come, so Mu Li didn't force her.

After entering the restaurant, the waiter who greeted them was a tall young girl with a very sweet smile, which made Mu Li feel very comfortable.This girl's service is very meticulous and thoughtful. Mu Li has lived in such an old age and has eaten in many restaurants, but he has never met such a waiter.Mu Li didn't know that in this world full of regulations and constraints, there is also such a place with excellent service.

Unfortunately, the waiter who served the food was another petite girl with a cold expressionless face, and she didn't even talk much, which gave people a bad feeling.

During the meal, Mu Li finally gave out the toffee, and Dora happily put the candy in her pocket.Afterwards, Mu Li was teased by Rui Qiao, saying that he had gone to great lengths to give a candy, and that he had a tangled personality.

Mu Li thinks it is true, this candy has gone through several rounds, and finally found someone who is willing to eat it, does it mean that people in this world don't like candy like her?

When the meal was almost finished, the little girl Dora went to the bathroom with her mother, and when she came back, the little girl had bulging cheeks, and she had already eaten the toffee that Mu Li gave as dessert.Then she stretched out her hand, and Mu Li saw a string of exquisite silver pendants lying in her palm.The pendant can still be opened, and there is a small picture frame inside.Inside the pendant is a miniature origami crane made out of toffee paper.

"Sister A Li, this necklace is for you. Also, this paper crane is a talisman. You should put it inside and carry it with you to keep you safe." The 14-year-old girl said seriously.

"Oh, okay, thank you Dora." Mu Li happily hung the necklace around his neck.

"You have to promise Dora that you will always carry it with you." The little girl repeatedly urged.

"Well, I promise you." Mu Li nodded earnestly, then patted the little girl's head, and said, "Dora seems to have grown taller, it has reached my shoulders."

"Really?" the little girl said happily.

Mary on the side watched Mu Li and Dora interact with each other, with a gratified smile on her face.

Rui Qiao has already urged outside: "Let's go quickly."

Mu Li smiled and shouted outside: "You bastard, you must be in a hurry to go back to find Miss Inoue."

"Fuck you!" Rui Qiao became angry from embarrassment.

Originally, Mu Li thought that he could spend the day in such an atmosphere relaxed and happy, but on the way back to the car, Mu Li's wristband ID suddenly rang, and it was Lan Ni, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, who received the communication.

"A Li, come to the hospital at nine o'clock tonight." The eldest lady only had such a simple sentence, and after finishing speaking, she hung up.

Mu Li shuddered, she knew that after four days, the big fish finally took the bait.

Hurrying to send Mary and Dora back to the residence, and saying goodbye to Rui Qiao, Mu Li hurried to the Affiliated Hospital of Rudolph Military Academy.Before leaving, Rui Qiao solemnly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Be careful."

When they arrived at the hospital, Lanny was sitting outside Bailey's room.Seeing Mu Li coming, the eldest lady stood up with a faint smile on her face.

I haven't seen you for a few days, the eldest lady seems to have lost weight, and her chin seems to be sharpened.Mu Li looked a little distressed, the eldest lady has not contacted her these days, and she is probably busy with this matter.

"Come with me to see Bailey, you haven't seen her yet." These were the first words Lan Ni said when she saw Mu Li.

Indeed, Mu Li has never seen Bailey's face so far. When Bailey was rescued in the cave before, because Bailey's face was ashamed, his facial features were not clear, and the light was dim, she couldn't see what Bailey looked like. Sample.The rescue at the Ares city wall was a matter of life and death, and it was too hasty, and Mu Li didn't take a closer look at Bailey's appearance.After that, Bailey never saw Mu Li face to face. Mu Li was still very interested in this female scientist who had only heard of her name but never met her face.

In the ward, Bailey was lying motionless on the bed quietly, with an oxygen supply ventilator covering his mouth and nose, and an electrocardiogram and other monitoring devices on his body.She is a quiet and beautiful woman with long black hair and a Eurasian face.His skin was very pale, and he was terribly emaciated due to being seriously injured and unconscious all the time.

"She used to be a teacher in my high school. She was my class teacher in high school. Although she was only five years older than me, she was talented and intelligent. She skipped a grade early in school. She graduated with a Ph. Thanks to Sherlock, she was exempted from military service. I am very similar to her. I skipped a grade. When I was in high school, I was young. She took good care of me. I have a good impression of her. Later we returned We keep in touch often, but it's a pity that she got involved in this storm." Lanny sighed in a rare way.

It was the first time for Mu Li to hear Lan Ni mentioning her relationship with Bailey in such detail, and she couldn't help saying: "I hope that after this incident, she can return to a normal life one day."

Lan Ni raised her hand, and Mu Li saw Bailey's pocket watch in her hand, looking at the photo inside.

"I have seen this photo more than once, and I also asked Sister Bailey what happened to this photo, why the father and child were scraped off, leaving only the mother. Sister Bailey was unwilling to answer at first, but later I After repeated questioning, I was told that the woman in the photo was her mother. Her parents were a married couple, and her eldest mother was the biological daughter of Sherlock, the former president of the Academy of Sciences. She died when she was very young. The second mother, that is, the woman in the photo, abandoned her after the death of the eldest mother and ran away from home. Later, she married a man and had another child. This is the woman who sent back the photo later. She sent the man It was scraped off with that child, leaving only the photo of the second mother, counted as the only thing left to her by the mother, and kept it as a treasure.”

When Mu Li saw this photo for the first time, he felt that the woman in the photo looked very familiar. She seemed to have seen the appearance of a Chinese before, and now this feeling became stronger.

"Do you know this woman?" Mu Li asked.

"Me? I didn't know her at the time, but later I knew who she was." Lanny smiled strangely.

"What do you mean?" Mu Li was confused.

"Do you know the three major Chinese families in the Federation?" Lanny asked suddenly.

Mu Li was taken aback, recalled for a moment, and said, "I know. One is your mother's family—the Mo family; the other is the He family where He Yun, the general of Harvest City, lives; From a family of martial arts, the Jiang family formulated the physical and fighting training regulations of the federal army." These are the information she found by the way when she was in Charani's mother's family, the Mo family, and later when she heard Dean Yang Sheng talk about General He Yun at the Military Academy I also mentioned the three major Chinese families, so I have a deep memory.

"My mother's Mo family had a marriage with the Jiang family. My maternal grandmother had an older sister who married the young master of the Jiang family at that time. Later, the two had two daughters, who were the most famous sisters in the upper class at that time. ——Jiang Siyan and Jiang Siwan. Jiang Siwan is Bailey’s second mother. Counting, Jiang Siwan is my mother’s cousin and my cousin, and Bailey is also my distant cousin. I learned about these relationships from my mother later of."

Mu Li counted with his fingers, and finally figured out the relationship.Then she suddenly realized, no wonder the eldest lady kept calling "Miss Bailey" instead of "Ms. Bailey".

"Then do you know who Jiang Siwan remarried with?" Mu Li asked again.

"Well, this matter was quite famous in high society at the time. It's just that I was young at the time, and no one told me about it. I only found out after asking my mother. Jiang Siwan remarried with General Pierre. Jiang Siwan also There is another title, Madame Pierre."

Mu Li gasped, feeling his hands and feet go numb.

"You should know what happened to Bailey by now. Pierre is her stepfather. She has always held a grudge against Pierre. For more than two decades, she has been against Pierre. Whether it is to give up The job of a teacher entered the Academy of Sciences, and he secretly investigated his stepfather for more than ten years. Probably he finally got the decisive evidence. This time, he finally stepped on Pierre's back scale, so that Pierre wanted to hurt her. Assassin, you don't care about love at all." Lan Ni frowned and said in a low voice.

"Could it be that Bailey's mother didn't care about it? Or did she say she didn't know?"

"Even if she knew, she couldn't control it. She committed suicide three years ago because of a serious mental illness."

Mu Li felt extremely surprised, and couldn't help blurting out: "Why?"

"Because she and Pierre's biological son died in a terrorist assassination nine years ago. She couldn't accept the bad news of her son's death. She suffered from an incurable mental illness for six years and finally committed suicide. The assassination It happened in the city of Athena, right in front of Andres' mansion. It is said that the assassin mistook Master Pierre, who was visiting Andres' mansion at that time, as Major General Creel, and killed the wrong person. "The eldest lady closed her eyes, and finally said the key to the tragedy.

Mu Li took a deep breath, no wonder, no wonder Pierre wanted to harm Creel, he wanted to use the bug swarm to impeach Andres, and to bring down the entire Andres family.There is such a complicated and tragic reason in it.

"What about the Jiang family? Doesn't the Jiang family care about this? Anyway, Bailey is also the granddaughter of the Jiang family, so it shouldn't be ignored." Mu Li asked.

"The Jiang family won't take care of it. You should know that the Jiang family has always been a big and aloof family. From the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, they could have held high positions and became one of the generals of the seven-pointed star, but they voluntarily gave up. I live in the Federation as an aristocratic family and a businessman. I don’t get involved in any political struggles, and I don’t take part in any military operations. The marriage with my mother’s Mo family is only because the relationship between the two families is very harmonious. Any interests involved. To formulate physical training and combat training regulations for the federal army is the most exceptional thing to do in the face of Generalissimo Rudolf. Such a powerful family who is equivalent to reclusive, does not even care about his own daughter. Not to mention the granddaughter whose blood is weak.

What's more, when Jiang Siwan married Sherlock's daughter Noy Comberly, she had already severed ties with the Jiang family.The Jiang family is very opposed to this marriage. Noye Comberly is more talented than her father Sherlock, but God is jealous of Yingcai. She is born weak and short-lived.Later, the remarriage between Jiang Siwan and Pierre aroused the Jiang family's resentment, alas... In short, this is a complete tragedy. "Lanny sighed and said slowly.

Mu Li lamented in his heart, the Jiang family is so big and aristocratic, so cold.Bailey was already alone in this world. What kind of hardships did she go through to get to this point.It's no wonder that the eldest miss couldn't see it this time, and she must help Bailey.

"Okay, let's go out, it's almost time. By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, the adventurer who was with Bailey has died."

"Huh? When did it happen?"

"Just this morning."
