Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Neither are Ordinary (3)_1

Watching Situ Xin, who had remained silent throughout, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang felt a weight in their hearts, worrying that the situation this time was dire. Perhaps so bad that even Situ Xin couldn’t resolve it.

"Regarding this matter, don’t take any rash actions just yet. We still don’t know what the government’s stance truly is, whether they genuinely want to seize control of Dragon Society’s arms dealing or if they’re looking to use this opportunity to grasp something incriminating against Dragon Society. If they are indeed aiming to take over the arms dealing, there’s nothing to fear, we’ll proceed as usual. After all, the arms trade flourishes in the shadows; even if the government suffers losses, they can’t acknowledge that openly. However, Dragon Society will need to be much more cautious in the future. If the government intends to capture Dragon Society’s handle, then we need to deliberate further," Situ Xin’s fingertips intermittently tapped on the coffee table. "Let’s wait till I get The Dark Division to gather accurate information on this." When it came to internal government affairs, the Dragon Society’s intelligence network was not as precise or convenient as The Dark Division’s.

"Yes, we understand," Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang replied. They had been unsure of how to proceed until Situ Xin’s advice, hence their distress. Hearing her words now, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s leave this matter be for now. Once there’s news, I’ll have Mu Li inform you," Situ Xin said, glancing at the time and realizing it was getting late. She should head back.

Just as Situ Xin finished speaking, Liu Yuxiang’s phone began to ring.

"Hehe, excuse me a moment, I need to take this call," Liu Yuxiang said cheerfully as he pulled out his phone.

As Liu Yuxiang took the call, Situ Xin said to Xia Yujie, "Then, I’ll be heading back now. If anything comes up, call me—I’ll be there." But before she could finish, Liu Yuxiang’s voice, loud from taking the call, interrupted her: "What, what are you saying, what happened to my mom?"

"Okay, okay, I’ll rush back now." Whatever had been said on the other end of the phone had caused Liu Yuxiang to tremble with emotion. In this moment, he bore no resemblance to his usually composed self in the business world.

"Ah Xiang, don’t panic. Whatever it is, tell me, and we’ll solve it together," Xia Yujie comforted Liu Yuxiang after he hung up the phone.

"My dad called; my mom’s had a heart attack and is in the hospital. They’ve issued a critical condition notice. My dad wants me to come home right away to see my mom possibly for the last time," Liu Yuxiang’s eyes reddened as he spoke with uncontrollable emotion, about to dash outside.

Fortunately, Xia Yujie caught him in time.

"Ah Xiang, don’t panic just yet. Being hasty is of no use at this moment. Calm down first, I’ll go back with you," Xia Yujie said, seeing Liu Yuxiang’s distressed and highly agitated state, he was genuinely worried about letting him go alone. "Sit down here for a moment, I’ll get someone to buy the fastest ticket to SH immediately."

Hearing Liu Yuxiang’s emergency call about his mother’s severe illness, Situ Xin hesitated to leave as well. She halted her departure and after a moment of silence, she spoke up, "I’ll go back with you too. Perhaps I can be of some help."

Upon hearing of Liu Yuxiang’s mother’s critical condition, Xia Yujie immediately thought of Situ Xin. They both knew of Situ Xin’s medical skills—not thoroughly, but they were certainly aware of her capabilities.

But since Situ Xin had not volunteered, Xia Yujie had not wanted to bring it up outright. Besides, Liu Yuxiang was too preoccupied worrying about his mother’s condition to think of such things.

Xia Yujie, upon hearing Situ Xin’s offer, felt a surge of hope; he believed that with Situ Xin there, perhaps there was still a chance for Liu Yuxiang’s mother. Even if she couldn’t be fully cured, Situ Xin should be able to stabilize her condition. He nodded to Situ Xin and said, "Yes, alright, I’ll go arrange for the plane tickets now, and miss, thank you." Xia Yujie’s gratitude was spoken both on behalf of Liu Yuxiang and for himself.

"What are you being so polite for? You’d better hurry and make arrangements. With both you and Ah Xiang leaving Dragon Society, you should give brief instructions on matters below. I’m going to call my family too," Situ Xin advised Xia Yujie.

Situ Xin, seeing Liu Yuxiang who Xia Yujie had just stopped from literally running out, sighed. Unsure of what to say to comfort him, she took out her phone to call home.

Old Madam Situ answered the call, and when she heard that Situ Xin would leave for a few days, she instantly objected. After the last incident when Situ Xin had gone to the Xiao Family, she had been harshly criticized by Old Madam Situ. This time, Old Madam Situ was unwilling to let her go.

Situ Xin had no choice but to ask her grandmother to call Old Master Situ to the phone. Old Master Situ was aware of the matters regarding Dragon Society, so it was better to discuss the issue directly with him.

When Old Madam Situ fetched Old Master Situ, and after Situ Xin explained the entire situation to him, Old Master Situ readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Situ Xin wiped her forehead and said to Baibai, "Phew, had I known it would be like this, I should’ve asked grandma to get grandpa on the phone right from the start, saving me all this trouble."

Having finished her call home, and with Xia Yujie having also made the necessary arrangements at Dragon Society, he reported, "Everything’s settled. We have a flight in two hours; we need to rush to the airport now."

"Then let’s go," Situ Xin said, holding Baibai and moving out first. However, when she reached Liu Yuxiang, who looked utterly dejected, she couldn’t help but speak up, "Ah Xiang, now is not the time for you to lose heart; you need to be strong. Also, even though I’m not sure about your mom’s current condition, I can assure you that as long as she is still breathing, I won’t let anything happen to her." This was Situ Xin’s promise.

Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Liu Yuxiang lifted his head, looking at Situ Xin with hopeful eyes, seeking confirmation, "Master, are you serious?"

"If you believe it, then it’s true; if you don’t, then there’s nothing I can do," Situ Xin said, and continued walking forward with Baibai.

Xia Yujie walked over, patted Liu Yuxiang on the shoulder, and said, "Ah Xiang, you know what kind of person miss is. Since she has given her word, she will definitely keep your mother safe. Pull yourself together."
