"I didn't expect you could find this."

A comic book was stuffed into Noel's hand while he was sitting in the back seat. It was the Traveler's single volume. It was obvious that Shuichi Akai had probably found a lot of stuff.

"The kidnapping you experienced in the United States was recorded." Akai Shuichi explained simply: "The attack posture you used in that surveillance video was exactly the same as Grappa's."

Noel instantly realized the robbery that happened in the United States, and also met the FBI officer Judy who will appear in the plot, who has a close relationship with the man in front of her.

Tsk, scumbag.

Noel expressed disgust at the man's behavior in his heart, and flipped through the comics casually, and found that it was one of his early works. The plot at that time was mainly based on his own experience.

"She just felt that your attack method was very unique and she saw it for a moment, but she didn't know anything else." Akai Shuichi explained to his colleague to prevent him from retaliating, "and she seemed to be looking forward to meeting you."

Thinking of Judy who was already applying for a job as an English teacher at Teitan Junior High School, Shuichi Akai gave her a reminder.

"I didn't leave any information about this identity in the records, and the camera didn't capture my face."

"So I wasn't sure at the time, until I got a photo." Shuichi Akai said and pointed to the comic book. Noel realized something and flipped back, and a photo of himself and Xiaoguang came into view.

"You seem to be having a lot of fun with this identity."

Shuichi Akai said it very objectively. Anyone who has seen Grappa's cold and murderous look would find it difficult to associate him with the man with a bright smile in the photo. Even Shuichi Akai felt it was a bit unbelievable when he saw it, and then he investigated the identity of this boy for a long time. Who would have thought that he would be Scotland.

Noel was silent for a while. The photo was taken when he had just got a new haircut. He and Xiaoguang were walking on the street for a long time. A photographer took the photo. Maybe he was too happy at the time, so happy that he didn't even ask the photographer to delete the film.

"I was so careless." Noel sighed in a neutral voice.

"As for Scotland, I originally only suspected that there was a blood relationship, but if he was an ordinary junior high school student, his skills would not be so excellent." Akai Shuichi looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu who was sitting quietly in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The other party looked up and smiled as if he was surprised, and said:

"After all, you came here suddenly, and I thought you were a member of the organization."

The boy looked so harmless that if Shuichi Akai hadn't felt the dull pain in his left leg, he would have believed it.

During the undercover period of the organization, the two had teamed up. Although it was a bit ridiculous that they were both undercover, he was sad for a moment when he received the news of Scotland's death. But now, a child who looked so similar was found in the home of a person suspected to be Grappa, which made him think of one thing.

Could it be that Noel adopted Scotland's child or brother?

The first sentence the other party spoke broke his thoughts.

"Rye, what are you doing here?"

Recalling this, even Shuichi Akai had to be alert. Regardless of why the other party had become like this, this sentence was equivalent to the other party admitting his identity. What was his purpose in doing this to someone he was not familiar with?

But no matter what, the two of them reached a cooperative relationship. Obviously, this Scot already knew a lot about him, and what he knew about him was only the side of Scot as a member of the winery that he had known during the years of the organization.

Although he usually appears gentle and kind, Scotland is overly rational and cold-blooded when killing people.

This reminded him of a mission in which Scotland, who was isolated and helpless due to intelligence problems, single-handedly eliminated all the senior officials of a □□ organization. His method was so clean and efficient that it made people's backs cold. Even though he later learned that the other party should be a member of the Public Security Bureau, he had no idea what the situation was now. He couldn't even judge which side Scotland was on at this time.

Therefore, Noel's question made him somewhat helpless. Instead of asking himself what his purpose was, he should ask the Scottish man beside him what his plan was.

But after all, some cooperation has been reached, and Akai Shuichi just said: "I want to exchange some information about the organization with you. Anyway, it is obvious that you are no longer loyal to the organization."

"What kind of information can you have to exchange with me?" Noel said with disdain. Although in reality he would provide intelligence to the Red Team no matter what, at the same time, he really didn't think that Shuichi Akai could come up with something that interested him.

"About yourself."

"What do you mean?" Akai Shuichi's answer left Noel a little confused.

"Your parents, do you want to know?"

Noel suddenly became quiet, staring at Akai Shuichi with his gray-green eyes. The other party's words were completely beyond his expectations.

parents?

Frankly speaking, Noel seldom thought about this word. When he was wandering on the streets, his understanding of his parents was that they were powerful protectors. After joining the organization, he only felt that his parents were unnecessary things. It was not until Xia Tian's memory gave him the most accurate concept of his parents that he no longer thought about his parents. After all, deep in his heart, this word was closely connected with such beautiful people as Xia's father and mother.

That's right, he should have been born and should have parents, but he had forgotten this clear point for too long. Or, if he didn't have parents, he could secretly regard Xia Tian's parents as his own.

"I don't even remember what I looked like before. How did you find a pair of parents for me?" Noel's tone was full of resistance, and it was obvious that he was not interested at all.

"After he separated from you, he found out some things, but at that time I didn't know that the child in the data was referring to you."

This "he" is, of course, Akai Tsutomu.

The man pulled out a bag of information from somewhere and handed it over. "I went to Italy to confirm that the scenes in your comics can still be found."

"No."

Noel rejected the information and leaned back on the seat, saying lazily, "If this is the kind of information, it's of no use to me."

"If you want to know about the organization, just talk to Xiao Guang."

In Noel's eyes, instead of letting himself listen to such useless information, it is better to let Xiaoguang take some benefits. For example, if Shuichi Akai from the FBI guarantees him, it may be helpful for Xiaoguang to restore his identity in the end. However, Noel has no idea how to do it specifically, but he believes that Xiaoguang will know what to do.

"That's fine," Akai Shuichi nodded and said, "Then consider it as a gift from him to you."

After saying that, the man threw the document bag over and turned back to driving.

"That's superfluous."

But in the end, Noel did not reject the information.

After sending the two people to Natsukawa's house, Shuichi Akai left a contact number and left, as if he was just here to be a driver and show his face. Noel sat on the sofa with the documents in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"He contacted me before and told me that he had found out your background, so when we were in the infirmary, I asked if you were Italian. Judging from his attitude, the result must have been a bit surprising."

"I don't really want to know this." Noel stared at the information with resistance in his eyes, as if that was not his own life experience, but a candy of unknown ingredients. He had tasted the best candies, and suddenly he was given a new one and told that this was his. He didn't want to eat it. God knows if there was something disgusting inside.

Isn't it good for him to indulge in delicious candy...

"If you don't want to watch, then just don't watch." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed and said, "It's just a blood relationship."

"Forget it, I already have it anyway."

No matter how bad it was, it was over.

As if he had finally mustered up the courage to touch the unknown child, Noel opened the data bag.

The first thing he saw was a photo of a delicate-looking woman sitting on a chair with a faint smile on her face. Her facial features were so similar to his own that Noel felt as if his hand was burned, so he let go of it abruptly and was caught by Morobushi Jingguang who was standing beside him.

"Zhang Menglan, Chinese?" Zhu Fu Jingguang had some knowledge of Chinese characters and read the name behind the photo.

Noel's brain buzzed and went blank for a moment. He was stunned for a few seconds before he saw the second photo. It was a man who looked Italian. He had dark brown hair, green eyes, and a suit. He looked quite handsome. Apart from his similar brow ridges, his tall stature was the only thing that was exactly like Noel's.

Noel had met him.

He was the leader of a mafia family at the time. When he was young, he had seen him traveling with a group of people, looking majestic. But not long after, this family was destroyed in a bloody battle, and everything was eaten up in the melee, and this man naturally died as well.

Two people who seem to have nothing to do with each other.

Noel was silent for another two seconds, then immediately turned to the information at the back and read it all in one breath.

This is a rather tragic story.

A woman who was traveling to Italy with her friends was involved in a gunfight and was eventually taken away by an Italian policeman to become the man's mistress. She desperately escaped and went to the embassy alone for help, and was then taken back by her parents.

The only thing to be thankful for is that she is doing well now, seems to have come out of the shadows, and has her own new family.

"Is that so?"

Noel couldn't describe his feelings. He actually breathed a sigh of relief at the end. Although he didn't know what kind of person this biological mother was, fortunately, he didn't cause her any irreparable harm.

It seems that even if I was born, it was not expected.

This thought gently emerged from my mind, then grew into sharp thorns, slowly piercing into my heart, causing great pain.

"Noel, there's more." Zhu Fujingguang handed over the last piece of information, which was a few letters sent to some organizations in Italy. The woman was spending a lot of money to find a person. In her words, that person was

"My dear child..."
