Chapter 394: Chapter 394: The Drug Lord (2)_1

Situ Xin held Baibai and followed the sound to the door of the meeting room. Situ Xin didn’t deliberately lighten her footsteps, so as soon as she arrived at the door of the meeting room, the people inside noticed her.

"The young lady has arrived." The middle-aged man, who was the most excited and had shouted about chopping up the opponents with knives, was the first to stand up when he saw Situ Xin. He spoke to Situ Xin at the doorway.

"Young lady," the Dragon Society’s senior members seated within the meeting room all stood up upon seeing Situ Xin. "Young lady, what brings you here?" Xia Yujie was quite surprised to see Situ Xin. He hadn’t called her about that recent matter.

"If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that someone has issued a challenge to the Dragon Society," Situ Xin said, having deduced from the bits and pieces she had overheard that this newly established gang had actually thrown down a gauntlet to the Dragon Society. Situ Xin sat down next to Xia Yujie, glanced at him, and then said to Liu Yuxiang, "Show me that challenge."

"Young lady, you don’t know how outrageous Sheng Shi has been. We’ve been very accommodating to them on normal days. Unexpectedly, they’re not satisfied with an inch and want a mile; they didn’t just injure our Dragon Society’s boys, they also sent us a challenge." A burly man stood up and spoke to Situ Xin.

Situ Xin took the so-called challenge letter, which was essentially a demand for a contest with the Dragon Society; if the Dragon Society lost this competition, they would have to hand over all the arms trading to the challenger and never touch it again.

"Huh, this Sheng Shi really has some nerve. A challenge letter? This is what they call a challenge? If they win, they get the arms deal; if they lose, they have nothing to lose. Where in the world do you find such a good deal?" Situ Xin looked at the challenge letter in her hand and laughed. She, Situ Xin, had never been at a disadvantage, except for that last time in her former life when she was killed by her teammate.

And Situ Xin knew what Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were worried about—it was the intelligence received from Situ Muli that Sheng Shi had ties with government officials.

"Ah Jie, the investigation results show that Sheng Shi does have connections with government officials. But, it’s only with some officials," Situ Xin stressed her words on "officials." "Since Sheng Shi wants to compete with our Dragon Society, why would we shy away? However, the rules of the contest must be set by our Dragon Society," Situ Xin declared, tossing the challenge letter onto the table.

"Exactly, Capital City is our Dragon Society’s turf. We must have the final say." The senior members of the Dragon Society had been holding back their anger over Sheng Shi in this period.

If it weren’t for Xia Yujie repeatedly admonishing them to show restraint, they would not have allowed Sheng Shi to run rampant in Capital City.

Only Situ Xin, Liu Yuxiang, and Xia Yujie remained in the meeting room.

Liu Yuxiang looked at Situ Xin and asked, "Master, is Sheng Shi really not involved with the government?"

"I haven’t obtained conclusive information about their connection with the government, but even if they are involved, so what? Go ahead and deal with Sheng Shi without reservation. If anything comes up, I’ll take care of it for you." Situ Xin realized that some things and some people could not be dealt with just by backing down. One had to demonstrate their true strength to prevent the enemy from acting rashly. Moreover, based on her intuition, Situ Xin suspected that Sheng Shi was likely connected to a major drug lord on the southern border.

"Right, when you face the people from Sheng Shi, be careful; all of them are former special forces soldiers, and they are not simple. Since Sheng Shi wants to compete with Dragon Society, we can send these five elite squads named Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth for the contest," Situ Xin further instructed.

"Yes, miss, I understand. Also, it’s my fault for not reporting to you in advance," Xia Yujie said with remorse.

Situ Xin waved her hand to Xia Yujie and said, "Don’t blame yourself for this incident, the responsibility is mine. You mentioned it before, but I forgot. I only remembered this matter when I called Muli today." After thinking for a bit, Situ Xin continued, "Things with Sheng Shi are complicated. You must also be careful and watch out for your safety. If anything happens, call me."

"Understood," Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, hearing Situ Xin speak so earnestly, knew that the matter with Sheng Shi must involve more complexities.

In the following days, Situ Xin attended school as usual, while Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, Old Deng, and Old Master Xiao spent an increasing amount of time frowning and discussing affairs together.

"Miss, this is detailed information about Sheng Shi and the major drug lord from the south. The drug lord is powerful; despite mobilizing all forces of The Dark Division, we were unable to uncover all his information; we could only find out the most basic details." Not long after Situ Xin arrived at school, she received a call from Situ Muli, who reported that the investigation materials were ready.

Situ Xin asked Situ Muli to bring the materials to the school.

When Situ Xin received the materials from Situ Muli and returned to her seat, the class bell rang.

Situ Xin took out her textbook, then started reviewing the documents. As she had suspected, Sheng Shi was indeed connected to that major drug lord from the south.

Upon seeing this, it suddenly occurred to Situ Xin that if Sheng Shi was connected to the southern drug lord, then maybe the drug lord had relationships with some government officials in Capital City. A thought flashed rapidly through her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it.

Nevertheless, Situ Xin quickly went through the documents, trying to identify the officials in connection with Sheng Shi. When she saw the titles and names listed in the materials, her brow furrowed deeply. Her bad premonition was growing stronger.

"Teacher, Situ Xin isn’t paying attention in class and is doing other things," a loathsome voice rang in her ears just as Situ Xin focused her attention on how these officials’ positions might relate to the drug lord, Situ Che, Loo Jie, and their current mission. Liu Zihan had been holding back a belly full of fire for the past few days as she watched Tian Jinlei getting close to Situ Xin, and it had nowhere to be released.
