Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Restless Woman (3)_1

Situ Xin had finished planning the space’s terrain and began to use his psychic power to move the various plants on the land to their rightful places.

However, this operation nearly caused Situ Xin to exhaust his psychic power.

Having planned and organized the space, Situ Xin went straight to bed in the villa’s bedroom and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

These recent days have been tough for Xiao Yongxin, the current Family Head of the Xiao Family.

First, the mercenaries he sent to assassinate Xiao Muli were all wiped out, not a single one returned. When Xiao Yongxin received this news, he sat alone in the study for an entire night. He continuously speculated about the true strength of Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao.

Somehow, news of this event spread throughout the mercenary industry. This made it difficult for him to find any mercenaries willing to take on the job of assassinating Xiao Muli afterward.

Ever since the assassination attempt on Xiao Muli failed, it seemed like misfortune lingered around him constantly. First, the affair with his mistress and the issue of his illegitimate child, somehow, was leaked to his wife Jin Meixia, along with a stack of photos and two DNA reports.

Because of these things, his wife Jin Meixia confronted him and they had a major argument.

Somehow, the day after his wife received these photos and they quarreled, people in their circle also came to know about the affair. Even Jin Meixia’s family took the time to have a serious talk with him about it.

Consequently, Xiao Yongxin’s son Xiao Li also learned about the situation and confronted Xiao Yongxin with a grim expression. He demanded to know why Xiao Yongxin would do such things to his mother and to him. Without waiting for an answer, his son stormed out and had not set foot in the Xiao household since.

Even though Xiao Li didn’t say much, his actions made it clear that he no longer recognized Xiao Yongxin as his father.

After so many incidents, Xiao Muli thought Xiao Yongxin might lay low for a while as he himself was preparing to settle accounts with Xiao Yongxin after graduation. But Xiao Yongxin did not possess such resolve.

Before he could resolve the mistress and illegitimate child issue, he began to plot against Xiao Muli again.

Situ Xin had previously ordered the Dragon Society and The Dark Division to keep a close watch on Xiao Yongxin of the Xiao Family. When Xiao Yongxin made a move, The Dark Division and the Dragon Society received the news and informed Situ Xin immediately.

However, unlike Xia Yujie’s and Liu Yuxiang’s composure, Situ Muli did not look particularly well when he came to report the matter to Situ Xin.

Situ Xin initially did not understand what was bothering Situ Muli, but when she received the documents he handed over, she understood why.

It turned out that after failing to hire mercenaries, Xiao Yongxin had targeted the leaders of the underworld in Xiangjiang, and unfortunately, he even approached the organization that Situ Muli used to be part of.

"Miss, how should we handle this matter?" Situ Muli asked after Situ Xin had finished reviewing the material, his expression complex, especially upon seeing the people his former organization had sent for the task.

Thinking of that person, Situ Muli’s hands instinctively clenched tightly; even as his fingernails dug into his flesh, he did not feel the pain.

Situ Xin noticed the abnormality in Situ Muli. She knew it had something to do with his former organization, but she was puzzled as Situ Muli had not shown emotions like today when his previous organization had sent out a hit on him.

"Muli, is there something on your mind? If possible, speak up and I’ll help you solve it. If not, you can choose to stay silent." As long as her subordinates did not betray her, Situ Xin would not force them to speak.

After listening to Situ Xin, Situ Muli pondered for a while before raising his head to look at her and said, "Miss, there’s nothing that can’t be discussed. The message that I saw from my former organization indicated that the person sent to complete this task is Xiu. Seeing his name brought back past events. This Xiu, he has a deep grudge with me. Ah, more than that, it should be counted as hatred."

As he spoke, a look of pain shrouded Situ Muli’s eyes. "Actually, when I first joined the organization, I wasn’t alone. I had an ally I got along with, and we would train together, sometimes even take on missions side by side. That was Xiu. But I never expected that this former partner, due to jealousy of my rank within the organization, would shoot me in the back right after we successfully completed a mission together." Situ Muli was fully immersed in his memories as he recounted his once-trusted partner pointing a gun at his chest and firing a bullet. "He aimed at my left chest with that shot, and after firing, whether out of overconfidence or fear, he didn’t check if I was still alive and just left. What he didn’t know was that I am unlike ordinary people, my heart is on the right side, the exact opposite of most people. That’s what allowed me to escape death."

Hearing Situ Muli recount his past experiences, Situ Xin empathized deeply, reminded of her own past life where she was shot and killed by her partners. She felt a kinship with Situ Muli. And she understood that Situ Muli had his own thoughts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted so strongly to the name on that list. Situ Xin exhaled softly and asked, "What are you planning to do?" "Miss, what do you intend to do about this matter?" Although Situ Muli’s mind was screaming with the desire for revenge when he saw Xiu’s name, knowing that if his heart hadn’t been on the left side and if a kind-hearted person hadn’t saved him when he was critically injured, he would no longer exist. Haunted by the betrayal of Xiu and the pain in his chest he suffered during rainy days due to Xiu’s bullet, he wanted to return all the pain inflicted upon him. Previously, due to the presence of the Leader of his former organization, Situ Muli had no opportunity to act. But now, the chance was right in front of him, and Situ Muli was agitated. Yet, he did not let his hatred override everything else.
