The Legendary Master’s Wife

You XiaoMo finally reacted and stared at You Bo immediately with wide eyes. He remembered that Johnson said that there were two children from a clan who were among the students killed by He Ping and the rest. The vice-president just then had said as well that a family member of the deceased wanted to personally thank them. But why would You Bo appear here? Why did he want to thank them?

You XiaoMo felt like his brain wasn’t working anymore. A hundred thousand ’whys’ flew by, screaming, in his mind. He thought of a possibility that he simply just didn’t want to think about.

If the person that the vice-president was talking about was You Bo, then one of the two people who died definitely had to be from the You family. But he knew how many people were in the You family. Besides him, there was only You Bo and You Lu from the younger generation. It couldn’t be that the You family member who was killed was You Lu?

You XiaoMo instantly felt as if the whole world was tilting around him.

The crime that He Ping and his accomplices committed wasn’t the most recent. That case was actually almost a decade old, and at that time, after He Ping killed those students, he disappeared without a trace. Their ability to keep themselves hidden was very impressive. Even though the country issued an arrest warrant and searched openly and secretly for ten years, it had been to no avail. He Ping was only caught two months ago.

If this matter really occurred ten years prior, the situation simply didn’t make sense. He clearly remembered that before he died, You Bo and You Lu were studying in a different exclusive school. That school wasn’t in the deep mountains, so it definitely couldn’t have been Thunderclap Academy. But both Johnson and the vice-principal said that the one killed was a student from Thunderclap Academy.

He was confused. Perhaps the one who died wasn’t really You Lu, but someone from the branch family?

You XiaoMo was pretty much deluding himself. Even though he was still certain that the You family didn’t have any branch families, this was the only possibility he could think of. Even though You Lu and You Bo both bullied him before, You XiaoMo definitely didn’t want anything to happen to him. He really had no way of imagining that You Lu also passed away after You XiaoMo accidentally died, that powerful older brother of his.

”This is a tiny gift of thanks from the You family. I hope that you will accept it.”

You XiaoMo’s soul, which was about to fly away into the sky, was tugged back by You Bo’s calm words. He saw You Bo hand a jade bottle over to them, with two plump black magic pills inside.

While he was in doubt, he saw the vice-president stare at the bottle enviously and say, ”The two of you are really incredibly fortunate to be able to receive the magic pills that the You family personally refined.”

”In that case, goodbye!” Ling Xiao accepted the bottle without hesitation and threw down that sentence bluntly before he dragged You XiaoMo out of the president’s office, so fast that You XiaoMo didn’t even have a chance to say anything before the office’s door slammed shut with a bang in front of him. He nearly ate a mouth full of dust.

”Why are you in such a hurry?” You XiaoMo finally asked, puzzled, after they went down the stairs. He felt like Ling Xiao’s attitude just then was very strange. Before, there was clearly no issues, but then he suddenly changed, as if he urgently needed to use the restroom.

Ling Xiao released him and shot him a look. He said calmly, ”If you want him to recognize you, then you can go back and continue to stare at him in the face. Within half an hour, I can guarantee you that he’ll know you’re his older brother.”

”What, how can he recognize me?” You XiaoMo jumped.

Ling Xiao snorted. ”How could he not? I’m also very curious. You and him clearly share the same parents, so how come your brain structures are so different.”

You XiaoMo’s eyes immediately turned resentful. This was definitely a personal attack. How was he supposed to know why their looks were so extreme? He also wanted to know. He had already thought about that problem for twenty or so years, but he had never found the answer.

”Never mind this. Why did you think he was about to recognize me?” You XiaoMo asked anxiously. If just one face-to-face meeting could allow You Bo to recognize him, then should he still go search for his family?
