Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

```

Watching the black throwing knife hurtling toward him, Lu Xiao remained calm, steady as an old dog.

The angle was too ordinary, the force too common.

Overall, pretty lame.

Fine for taking down the average person, but to pierce him, Lu Xiao, they were still far from the mark.

Lu Xiao casually tilted his head to the side, the throwing knife whistling past his ear and thunking into the door behind him.

Actually, catching it by hand would have looked cooler, but Lu Xiao did not do so.

In recent years on the border battlefield, the first thing he had learned was caution.

Catching a throwing knife barehanded is cool indeed, but what if the knife is poisoned?

For instance, some highly toxic cyanide, accidentally cutting the skin while catching the knife, death would come all too swiftly.

The Qin Family present were also given quite the scare.

The most they had in mind was to beat up Lu Xiao a bit to vent their anger.

But that throwing knife was clearly intent on taking Lu Xiao's life.

Had Lu Xiao not dodged, it might well have pierced his head by now.

If Lu Xiao were to be killed in front of everyone, none of them could escape involvement.

Once Old Sir Qin woke up, they would all be held to account, one by one.

At best they'd have their incomes cut off, at worst, they would be driven out of the Qin Family.

"Who did that? Stop messing around!"

"Which idiot threw that knife? Want us all to be screwed?"

"Damn it! I don't want to be banished, I'm out of here."

The crowd quickly dispersed; the person who threw the knife also slipped away quietly.

Lu Xiao didn't try to stop them, keeping them around could lead to the mastermind.

"Oh, isn't that my cousin? Don't go," Lu Xiao then saw Qin Kai, who was about to leave, and waved at him with a smile.

Qin Kai snorted and didn't intend to pay Lu Xiao any attention.

Just one more hour and ten minutes and this guy would be dead.

What's the use of talking to a dead man?

"I told you to stop, are you deaf?" Seeing that Qin Kai didn't stop, Lu Xiao's tone suddenly turned cold.

All the Qin Family members who hadn't gone far looked back at Lu Xiao.

Goodness, where on earth did Youling find such a treasure? He seemed hell-bent on courting death.

Youling had already prodded Qin Kai to madness, and now he was going for more?

They might fear Old Sir Qin, might mind the rules of the Qin Family, but when that kid Qin Kai went crazy, he was nothing short of a lunatic.

In the room next to Old Sir Qin's, Youling stood at the door with an ugly expression.

Is this your so-called plan?

Go out and provoke the Qin Family, then continue to needle Qin Kai?

What if it was really Uncle and his son Qin Kai who wanted to hurt Grandfather? By doing this, you're only making them more desperate, more reckless.

However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Kai did not explode in anger at Lu Xiao's words.

Besides a darker swell on his cheek, there was no other response.

"Come here and drag them away," Lu Xiao pointed at the two young men of the Qin Family he had just knocked unconscious.

"Drag your mother!" Qin Kai shot back.

Who do you think I, Qin Kai, am?

And who are you to be giving me orders?

"If you don't drag them, I'll break your leg and make you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair," Lu Xiao threatened.

The entire back courtyard fell eerily silent.

Many involuntarily swallowed hard.

This Lu Xiao, he's a lunatic too!

"Don't even think about calling your bodyguards. Before they get here, I can cripple you," Lu Xiao added.

Qin Kai glared, his fingernails digging into his palm.

A strong sense of humiliation made him wish to turn Lu Xiao into dust.

But he dared not gamble, he could only endure.

Lu Xiao appeared to be quite skilled, if he really came over to break his legs, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

After a few seconds, Qin Kai took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, turned around, and walked toward Lu Xiao.

Upon reaching Lu Xiao, Qin Kai bent down, grabbed the arms of the two men on the ground, and dragged them away.

From his chair, watching Qin Kai silently leave, Lu Xiao's eyebrows lifted.

The kid actually endured it?

Looks like he's prepared some kind of countermeasure, or else he wouldn't have taken it like this.

Most likely he's found some assassin or something alike.

"What a nuisance," Lu Xiao sighed, feeling the Qin Family's troubles were just too much.

As time ticked by, the back courtyard became peaceful again after the Qin Family group had left.

Even Old Sir Qin's sons didn't come over to visit anymore.

"Five more minutes, Lu Xiao, just wait to die!" Atop a nearby old locust tree, Qin Kai, holding a telescope, was excited.

To ensure nothing went wrong, he had even specifically called White Clothes Pavilion again for confirmation.

The reply from White Clothes Pavilion was just four words: Act on time.

At the doorway to Old Sir Qin's room, Lu Xiao seemed to sense something, narrowing his eyes and looking in a certain direction.

"Interesting," Lu Xiao murmured to himself, then proceeded to enter Old Sir Qin's room.

Up in the locust tree, Qin Kai was shocked.

Damn it, why did that bastard Lu Xiao go inside right now?

With White Clothes Pavilion acting soon, won't I miss the chance to see him die?

Motherfucker, I wanted to witness the moment Lu Xiao met his gruesome end.

After entering the room, Lu Xiao casually picked a chair and sat down.

Old Sir Qin's room was quite spacious, around sixty or seventy square meters, but not abundantly furnished, save for a desk and chair set and some calligraphy and ancient books.

"Come in," Lu Xiao said after picking up an apple from the fruit plate and calling out.

The back window creaked open, and two figures flipped inside.

The two newcomers, a man and a woman, wore specially made face veils, hiding their features.

But judging by their figures, they seemed quite young.

"Are you Lu Xiao?" the man asked emotionlessly, his gaze on Lu Xiao.

"Yes, I am," Lu Xiao nodded, "Did Qin Kai send you?"

"Not sure, we are just here to take your life."

"Enough talk, let's finish this quick job worth two million," the woman scolded, as she drew a silver short knife from her waist.
