Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Making a Deal (2)_1

This was also deliberately done by the people from The Dark Division, they had already devised charges for these individuals.

"Xiang Yang, take these people directly to the supreme leader. Tell him the people have been brought, and how to deal with them will be at his discretion," Situ Xin instructed after reviewing the documents, making a phone call to Xiang Yang.

"Yes, Leader." Xiang Yang hung up the phone and personally led the men from The Dark Division to take those individuals to the supreme leader. Of course, as The Dark Division operates in the shadows, they have their concealed pathways whenever visiting the supreme leader.

Therefore, no one would have imagined that The Dark Division would intervene in this matter.

Thus, when the head over there learnt that a significant portion of their people from the Discipline Commission had been arrested, and those arrested held crucial positions, he swept everything off his desk in a fit of anger. During the smuggling case, Xiao Muli was busy, and Yu Qihao was also being held by his family’s old master for daily lessons. Therefore, these two hadn’t been in front of Situ Xin lately, which made her let out a sigh of relief.

Regarding the smuggling case involving the Liu Family, without the sabotage from that side, coupled with periodic verbal warnings from The Dark Division to Liu Xiqing and his wife, the Fu Family, and their thorough possession of evidence, they were urged to tell the truth. Any falsehoods would result in doubled punishment.

The Dark Division didn’t bluff about this; the entire ins and outs of the smuggling case, which individuals were involved, and the roles they played became crystal clear, along with incontrovertible evidence for every action taken.

These pieces of evidence were also the contingency plans prepared by Situ Xin. If those from the Liu Family couldn’t see reason and still attempted to implicate the Xiao Family without any instigation, she would not hesitate to bring out all the evidence.

Fortunately, seven days had passed since those people of the Liu Family were taken for investigation, and the case was nearing its final stages. The expedited investigation process by the Discipline Commission could be largely attributed to the significant role played by Dragon Society.

This, too, was instigated by Situ Xin. She had arranged for Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang to provide timely assistance to the investigation team members from the Discipline Commission whenever they encountered a bottleneck in their investigation.

Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, Old Deng, and Old Master Xiao kept a daily watch on the progress of the smuggling case, fearing any news that might adversely affect their families’ reputation. Thankfully, no negative news had leaked over these days, which allowed some smiles to return to their faces.

School was about to start again, and Situ Xin was even lazier than before. She spent all her time at home. Just as she finished lunch and nestled on the sofa, the phone in the house rang. "Hello, is this the residence of Old Chief Situ?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Miss Situ it is, I’m the guard at the entrance of the compound. We have a young lady here specifically asking for you." Situ Xin could hardly believe she was receiving a call from the compound’s entrance guard, and it was the first time she ever got a call from there.

"Looking for me? A girl?" Situ Xin mentally reviewed a list of acquaintances, thinking of the names of those she knew. Murong Wanyu had gone out to travel and hadn’t returned yet, but aside from her, Situ Xin really couldn’t think of any girl who might come looking for her.

"Yes, a girl looking for you. She says her name is Fu Xiaoyi."

"Fu Xiaoyi?" Situ Xin searched her brain for the name. Fortunately, her memory was excellent, which allowed her to recall this name not often mentioned. "Eh, why would she come looking for me?" she murmured in surprise.

"Miss Situ, should I let her in?" The guard at the door, not having heard Situ Xin’s quiet mutter, asked for clarification.

"Oh, tell her to wait a moment, I’ll come out shortly." Situ Xin was curious about why Fu Xiaoyi was seeking her, but she didn’t want to allow her into the compound. So, she opted for a compromise.

"Baby, who was on the phone?" Situ Jin, coming down the stairs, happened to see Situ Xin hang up and casually asked.

"Oh, it was from the guard at the entrance of the compound. They said Fu Xiaoyi is looking for me." As Situ Xin replied to her brother’s inquiry, she picked up Baibai and stood up, ready to head to the compound entrance.

"Fu Xiaoyi? That fiancée of Muli who came out of nowhere?" Situ Jin cared about Situ Xin’s matters, so he had committed the name Fu Xiaoyi to memory after hearing it a few times. "What does she want with you?" he asked, frowning.

"I don’t know either, that’s why I’m going to check. Bro, I’m off." With that, Situ Xin, holding Baibai, prepared to set off.

"Hey, I’m free right now, I’ll come with you." Situ Jin, worried about his sister possibly being bullied, decided to accompany her.

"Sure, let’s go." Situ Xin had no objections to her brother’s request to come along, thinking that Situ Jin was just curious about Fu Xiaoyi’s intentions.

There was no reason for Fu Xiaoyi to seek out Situ Xin regarding her parents’ situation. She should have approached Xiao Muli or Old Master Xiao instead. If it was about Xiao Muli, concerning her status as the fiancée betrothed in infancy to him, it still wouldn’t make sense for her to come at this time. Her parents were with the Discipline Commission, and she should be more concerned about their situation.

What Situ Xin didn’t know was that Fu Xiaoyi had indeed sought out Xiao Muli before. In fact, after her parents got into trouble and Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun were escorted to the Discipline Commission, she had taken Xiao Muli’s number from Ole Lady Liu and called him asking for help.

But as soon as she mentioned her name, Xiao Muli hung up. She tried calling back, but couldn’t get through.

She had also come to the compound to seek out Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli, but was turned away every time. She was at Situ Xin’s seeking help today out of desperation and it was a momentary rash decision. Luckily, the guard at the compound gate today wasn’t the same one from her previous visits to seek the Xiao Family, or else he might not have agreed to make the call.
