Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Results (1)_1

Originally, Situ Xin’s idea was to send the confessions of those ninjas to the government of Country R, in hopes of getting some compensation. But unexpectedly, just as the three old masters at home were looking dejected after seeing the report, someone, no one knew who, couldn’t stand it and leaked the story to the television station.

From Situ Xin’s perspective, regardless of who it was, the person definitely held significant power, otherwise the TV station wouldn’t dare to broadcast it without permission.

The moment the story was aired, the people of Country H became outraged, with many standing up to demand an explanation from the government of Country R. This alarmed the government of Country R, which had thought it had only lost a few spies and ninjas from Country H, and they convened an emergency meeting. The officials responsible for the operation were dismissed on the spot, but they couldn’t comprehend how the ninjas had disclosed everything they knew without omitting a single detail. These ninjas were specially trained by the government of Japan, and under normal circumstances, they would rather die than betray their country.

The officials of Country R could never have imagined that the ninjas would confess so quickly to everything, all thanks to the powder Situ Xin had smeared on the needles. She had applied it precisely because she knew that the ninjas of Country R would rather die than betray their nation. This powder could make a person disclose everything they knew without realizing it, answering each question accurately and clearly.

As the situation escalated, the already dissatisfied officials of Country H demanded that Country R provide an explanation, otherwise Country H would not hesitate to take special measures. At that time, the president of Country H, who had come to power through war, was known for his strong-armed approach. He had long wanted to settle scores with Country R but had been hindered by the lack of evidence. Now that this incident had come to light, he was not going to let the opportunity slip away.

Eventually, Country R had to pay a heavy price for this ordeal and reluctantly agreed to all the demands put forth by Country H. This incident also served as a deterrent to other countries that had been extending their reach into Country H, causing them to pause their clandestine activities.

The three old masters who knew about the incident finally showed smiles again.

Although Country R had paid the appropriate price for its actions against Country H, Situ Xin was not ready to let things go so easily. If she didn’t get something back from Country H, she would not be able to sleep at night. Situ Xin remembered that in her former life, Country R had experienced a stock market crash and a real estate bubble, which had been a golden opportunity to make a fortune. But upon reflection, she realized that time had long passed. This caused Situ Xin to regret for quite some time, as she lamented forgetting about it earlier. Otherwise, she could have made a fortune from Country R’s stock market. Now, she had to think of other methods.

Situ Xin also speculated that Country R’s eagerness to extend its reach into Country H must have been related to a severe economic downturn in their own country.

After this incident, Situ Haoran, Situ Haotian, and Xiao Guobing were credited with a noteworthy accomplishment. Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing were promoted to lieutenant colonel, and Situ Haoran was promoted to colonel. Their ranks were not the only things that increased—their positions did as well. With many higher-ups being removed following the previous incident, the three of them took advantage of the good timing and moved up the ranks. Situ Haoran even became the head of their military region, a position he had previously not dared to dream of attaining. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about reaching that position, but he felt that his current experience and accomplishments were not yet sufficient to warrant it.

Indeed, Situ Haoran was well aware of his own limitations. Despite their great achievements, it would have been highly unlikely for him to be next in line, as there were several more qualified individuals ahead of him. Nonetheless, it was the president who insisted on advocating for Situ Haoran against all objections, which eventually led to him securing the position.

The Situ Family, Lu Family, and Xiao Family were all smiles in the following days, having cleared the clouds of their previous misfortunes. And while Situ Haoran, Situ Haotian, and Xiao Guobing did not hide the effort Situ Xin had put into the success, this information was known only among the three families. The patriarchs had decreed that no one within the families was to discuss the matter publicly.

In the wake of the incident, the troubles lingering over these three families seemed to have dissipated, much to Situ Xin’s relief. Besides, she had gained another benefit—her family members, who had previously doted on and spoiled her, still did so, but they no longer treated her as an ignorant child. Sometimes they would even seek her opinion on matters.

To Situ Xin’s surprise, her brothers had changed—they were working harder than ever. Situ Che and Loo Jie began to use their holidays to participate in training with the army, in addition to their training at home. What Situ Xin did not know was that this significant change in her brothers was all thanks to her. They were determined to improve their strength to protect their sister and prevent her from facing any danger again.

During the time Situ Xin was capturing drug dealers, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had their own difficulties. After taking over Dragon Society, although Dragon Society’s subordinates behaved and did not cause trouble, the murder of Zhu Bin and Dai Licheng to seize control of the gang, along with Xia Yujie’s vendetta to reclaim Dragon Society, resulted in many of the organization’s businesses encountering problems. The managers of those businesses took advantage of the chaos in Dragon Society to embezzle funds and flee. Later, after Xia Yujie took over, he dispatched people to capture those embezzlers, but they had prepared their escape well and were not easily caught.

As a result, Dragon Society faced a cash crunch, even though businesses like casinos and nightclubs continued to operate normally. Many other enterprises, however, were forced to close.

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had called Situ Xin during this period, but her phone was always off. Other than her name, they knew nothing about her, so finding her was impossible. They had no choice but to wait for Situ Xin to contact them of her own accord.

Their frequency of mentioning Situ Xin gradually declined as both men shifted all their efforts to restructuring Dragon Society and devising ways to raise funds.

"Xiang, help me think of a way to raise funds, the faster the better." The overwhelming workload over those days had left Xia Yujie exhausted. He leaned back in his chair, propped his head with one hand, and massaged the bridge of his nose with the other.
