Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Curtain Falls (3)_1

Now that their leader had been captured, those underlings posed little threat, especially since they were mere hoodlums. Situ Haoran and his team easily took down the entire drug den. The bombs Situ Xin had left before were not even put to use.

As Situ Xin went to retrieve the bombs, she expressed her regret saying, "Ah, I thought I’d get to test out these new bombs I’d developed. It’s such a letdown, getting all excited for nothing." If anyone else heard what Situ Xin said, they wouldn’t know what face to make.

With the drug nest cleaned out and the drug lord in custody, Situ Haoran and his team’s mission was officially complete. That afternoon, they escorted Boss Sheng and five ninjas onto a plane back to Capital City.

When Zhang Guozheng and Chen Xingbang in Capital City heard this news, both in their offices, they instinctively did the same thing: they fell into their chairs. The same thought crossed their minds, "I’m finished this time."

Zhang Guozheng, after all, was more meticulous than Chen Xingbang. He quickly regained his composure, took out a black clunky mobile phone with trembling hands, and dialed a number. "Hello, Ota-kun, didn’t you say yesterday that you would take care of it? How come Situ Haoran and his team could still escort Boss Sheng back to Capital City today?" Now, Zhang Guozheng’s tone was not as respectful as it had been the day before. At this time, what did he care about demeanor? He wanted to clarify exactly what had happened and was worried about his future prospects.

"Guozheng, are you serious? I dispatched our ninjas in Country H just yesterday. Hold on, I’ll contact those ninjas and see what’s going on," came the reply in the slightly awkward language of Country H over the phone.

As for this Ota-kun, he had too much confidence in the ninjas of Country R, so much that after assigning them their tasks yesterday, he went to bed without worrying, nor did he bother to contact them again.

After hanging up the phone and attempting to contact the ninjas, he found there was no response at all. It was only then that he started to panic, realizing the gravity of the situation. He didn’t call Zhang Guozheng back but instead reported directly to his superior.

Zhang Guozheng was already considered expendable to them. They had thought distancing themselves from Zhang Guozheng and even Country H’s officials would be the end of it. But what they didn’t realize was that more troubles were waiting for them down the line.

Situ Xin was not the type to suffer in silence when wronged. She struck back hard when attacked. And this time, Country R had dared to reach out to her family. Family was her Achilles’ heel, so Situ Xin, gazing at the endless blue sky from the airplane, said, "Country H, brace yourself for my move."

When Situ Xin and the others got off the plane, they discovered that quite a number of people had come to meet them. Thus, Situ Xin purposely lagged behind Situ Haoran and the rest, only emerging from the cabin after they had all gone, quickly blending into the crowd.

The moment Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao learned that Situ Haoran and his team had successfully completed their mission and were returning home, all three joyously exclaimed "Good!" several times. The three elders had specially come to the airport not for Situ Haoran or the others but to pick up Situ Xin.

During this time, what worried the family the most was not Situ Haoran and his team but the 5-year-old Situ Xin. Old Madam Situ, Old Madam Loo, and Loo Yaxin had been so anxious that they couldn’t eat or sleep well, having lost quite a few pounds. Actually, who in the family could eat at such a time? Now, as they heard of Situ Haoran and his team’s successful return, they all smiled. They knew this also meant that Situ Xin was safe and sound.

But as Old Master Situ and the others craned their necks, they saw only Situ Haoran and his companions, missing the small figure they were anticipating, and worry spread across their faces. Old Master Situ couldn’t help but step forward to ask Situ Haoran and the others where his Baby was.

Before he could move, he heard from behind him, "Grandpa, Grandfather, Grandpa Xiao." At this voice, they knew it was the little one they had been waiting for.

"Baby," "Xiao Xin," seeing the darling child standing not far from them, the three old men were almost brought to tears.

When Situ Xin returned home with Old Master Situ and the others, she had just entered the door when Old Madam Situ, Old Madam Loo, and Loo Yaxin, who had been waiting at home, rushed over and hugged her. Crying, they said, "Baby, you’ve come back," "It’s good you’re back safe, it’s good you’re back safe."

Seeing this scene, Situ Xin couldn’t help but let her tears flow. She found that in this life, she seemed to cry more easily. And now she felt that crying wasn’t a bad thing, it certainly wasn’t shameful.

Once she was back home, Situ Xin didn’t concern herself further with the matter. But she did learn the outcome of events through the conversations of the three elders at home. Situ Haoran, Situ Haotian, Xiao Guobing, along with Loo Jianguo, were not pushovers. They acted swiftly, making several copies of the evidence—one for archiving, one for the prosecuting authorities. And of course, they kept a copy for themselves in case someone tried to meddle again.

Aside from photocopying the documents, they found trustworthy individuals to interrogate the ninjas. They brought in someone fluent in the language of Country R for the questioning, but to their surprise, the ninjas, having lived in Country H for so long, were already proficient in the country’s language. Thanks to the powder on Situ Xin’s needles, the five ninjas spilled everything they knew. They even implicated Country R in some of the shady dealings within Country H, shocking those who conducted the interrogations and angering those who received the information.

With that evidence, those documents, there was a bad shakeup in the political and military spheres of Country H. Many high-ranking officials at the central level were impacted. They were dismissed and investigated—all of whom had previously targeted the Situ Family, the Loo Family, and the Xiao Family, aiming to bring them down.

Astonishingly, among these individuals, some were in conflict with the three families due to political differences, while others were actually bought out by Country R. When Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao received these reports, the three sat in the study for half a day without saying a word.
