Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Research Materials (1)_1

After arriving home, Situ Xin hugged Baibai and flashed into the space. Once inside, she didn’t go to the villa, but directly to the cave entrance where she had found Baibai previously. Since the appearance of this mountain, she had developed a habit of coming here, after discovering that the Spiritual Energy was denser than anywhere else in the space.

This was because cultivating here allowed her to progress much faster than in other places, and it wasn’t just a slight difference. Every time Situ Xin cultivated in this cave, she could feel the Spiritual Energy gathering around her, feeling more than twice as much seep into her skin compared to when she cultivated elsewhere in the space.

This habit gradually formed, so that whenever she entered the space, if she wasn’t going to the lab or checking on the vegetables and fruits in the fields, she would flash directly to the mountaintop.

This time, after Situ Xin arrived at the cave, she sat cross-legged on the same jade bed where she had found Baibai before. The previous time she had found Baibai, she had been too rushed to notice what the bed was. It wasn’t until her second visit that she discovered it was a warm jade bed.

"Baibai, go play by yourself, I need to look at these materials," Situ Xin said, worried that Baibai might get bored, urging it to entertain itself.

"Then, Master, I’ll go cultivate. When you leave, remember to come find me, oh, and definitely don’t leave me behind in this space," Baibai said, looking at Situ Xin with its pitiful tiger eyes.

"Alright, rest assured, I won’t abandon you," Situ Xin said impatiently. Every time Baibai was about to part from her in the space to do something, it would give her that pitiful look.

Once Baibai left, Situ Xin took out the materials she had received from Xia Yujie and began to study them. Old Master Jia had three sons, the eldest being Jia Zhengxin, a good-natured man. Old Master Jia didn’t pay much attention to him, so he arranged a cushy, lucrative position for Jia Zhengxin.

Although Jia Zhengxin was somewhat honest, he wasn’t the one that caused Old Master Jia the most headache. The real concern was his second son, Jia Zhengce, a typical second-generation heir. Jia Zhengce was about the same age as Situ Xin’s elder uncle, Situ Haoran, and the two attended the same school and class from childhood. However, their academic performance and popularity were polar opposites, adding to Old Master Jia’s resentment towards the Situ Family. In high school, Jia Zhengce started to hang out with riffraff and, using Old Master Jia’s name, caused trouble everywhere.

Eventually, Jia Zhengce went too far, and Old Master Jia sent him to the military. It was perhaps a twist of fate that Jia Zhengce ended up in the same unit as Situ Haoran.

Even though Jia Zhengce was in the same unit as Situ Haoran, the latter was busy making a name for himself, while Jia Zhengce was once again using his father’s credentials to form cliques and cause trouble in the army. If it weren’t for Old Master Jia, Jia Zhengce would have been expelled from the military long ago.

Jia Zhengce didn’t manage to establish any achievements by the time he was discharged and only caused trouble. Fortunately, with his powerful father, he was assigned to a good job upon leaving the military. However, to this day, Jia Zhengce hasn’t shed his ways and is a notorious spoiled heir.

Jia Zhengce was also a frequent visitor to the nightclubs under the Dragon Society, and every time he came, he brought a different woman with him. The information provided by Xia Yujie showed that the women around Jia Zhengce kept getting younger.

After finishing Jia Zhengce’s information, Situ Xin sighed. How could such a shrewd and formidable man as Old Master Jia have such an unreliable son? When Situ Xin saw Jia Zhengce’s photo in the material, she found he was fairly good-looking and presentable. But of course, he was quite lacking compared to her elder uncle, father, and uncles. However, when she looked closely at Jia Zhengce’s photo, she felt like she was overlooking something very important. Yet she just couldn’t remember what it was at the time.

Situ Xin turned the page on Jia Zhengce’s information and then examined Old Master Jia’s youngest son’s, that is, Jia Zhengxin’s information. Jia Zhengxin was his father’s favorite and the son Old Master Jia planned to entrust the entire Jia Family to. It was said that Jia Zhengxin resembled his father the most and was the most cunning. However, the presence of Jia Zhengxin and Old Master Jia in recent years had stopped the Jia Family from collapsing. Additionally, Old Master Jia didn’t consult with his other sons on matters, only Jia Zhengxin, and they would discuss affairs together behind closed doors in the study.

After putting aside the Jia Family’s information, she picked up the materials on Liang Yuemei and her daughter, Liang Ruobing. Before being found by the Jia Family, they lived a meager life in a small city in The South, with Liang Yuemei raising her daughter Liang Ruobing.

Liang Yuemei could be considered unfortunate. She had been a nurse in the same military unit where Situ Haoran and Jia Zhengce served, and in that male-dominated environment, she stood out as a beautiful woman.

Many in the unit had expressed their feelings to her, including Jia Zhengce, who was probably the most forward of her suitors. Yet Liang Yuemei didn’t take notice of any of them, her heart entirely set on the handsome but always stern-faced Situ Haoran.

But Situ Haoran never so much as glanced at her.

After reading the materials, Situ Xin finally understood the incident Liang Yuemei kept referring to from "that night."

The night in question was when Situ Haoran’s unit was celebrating the soldiers who were due to be discharged, as well as those, like Situ Haoran, who had received transfer orders for their achievements. So, they gathered together to have a farewell party of sorts.

Once Liang Yuemei discovered this, she dragged along a few other nurses from the unit under the guise of a send-off. And with the beautiful women volunteering to come, how could the officers resist? They readily agreed.
