"How is it?" Situ Xin picked up the phone and asked succinctly.

"Leader, this Lu Qing, he was involved in formulating the operation plan for this mission. Although Lu Qing wasn’t the main planner, he was one of the few present during the discussions and decision-making of the operation plan, so he knows the ins and outs of the mission’s combat plan like the back of his hand," Xiang Yang reported over the phone, conveying the newly received information.

"Got it, I’ll call you back later," Situ Xin said, after getting the information she needed and hung up the phone.

The three old masters watched Situ Xin make her call without blinking, and as soon as she hung up, Old Master Situ asked eagerly, "Baby, how is it?"

"That Lu Qing knows all about the operation plans for this mission," Situ Xin said with a stern face.

"Damn bastard, I’m going to give him a good beating," Old Master Situ cursed, furious to catch Lu Qing and beat him up after hearing Situ Xin’s words.

"So what do we do now? Should we immediately notify the mission’s headquarters to arrest Lu Qing and have them halt the operation?" Old Master Loo was suddenly unsure of what next step to take or what could be done to reduce the casualties of the special forces team on this mission.

"No, it’s too late to notify the mission’s headquarters now. I believe that even if we ask the headquarters to instruct the soldiers on the ground to pull out, it’s already too late. I’m certain that the drug lord has cast a net and is waiting for our special forces team," Old Deng said, with a heavy heart. He too couldn’t think of a good solution on the spot.

"So what do we do? Just watch our special forces walk into the drug lord’s trap? Watch them sacrifice their young lives because of the betrayal of our own officials?" Old Master Situ pressed Old Deng urgently, not caring about formalities at that moment.

"Grandpa, don’t panic yet, there must be a way to solve this. I won’t let anything happen to Brother Che and Brother Jie." In Situ Xin’s heart, family and teammates were most important. The affairs of the state were beyond her control but when it came to the safety of her family, she wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

"Baby, do you have a solution?" Old Master Loo looked at Situ Xin with hope. Even Old Deng and Old Master Situ turned to look at her, waiting for her response.

"Grandpa Deng, can you speak to the headquarters and have them instruct the special forces on the ground to hold their positions and go into hiding, ensuring the enemy doesn’t detect them?" Situ Xin looked at Old Deng and asked.

"That can be done. But what then? They can’t stay hidden in the same spot forever," Old Deng pointed out, looking at Situ Xin and waiting for the rest of her plan.

"As long as they’re not discovered by the drug lord’s men, I will take The Dark Division’s personnel and head directly to the southern border. I want to meet this drug lord in person," Situ Xin stated, her eyes shining with a murderous intent.

To be sure, as long as the drug lord didn’t cross Situ Xin’s red lines, she wouldn’t bother if he dealt with drugs or arms trafficking. However, if anyone dared touch people they shouldn’t—like her family, friends, or partners—no matter who the enemy was, Situ Xin wouldn’t let them off easily or let them get away with it.

After hearing Situ Xin’s plan, Old Deng, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo exchanged looks, their eyes filled with concern and a hint of unease.

"Xiao Xin, this isn’t a matter for The Dark Division, I think it’s better left to the special forces to resolve," Old Deng felt that the situation was too dangerous and he still had reservations about letting Situ Xin take the risk. He was reluctant to let her face such danger.

"Yeah, baby. You don’t have to involve yourself in this. We three old masters will figure out a solution," said Old Master Situ. Despite his worry for Situ Che, he was still concerned about the risk to Situ Xin.

"Grandpa Deng, Grandpa, Grandfather, you all know well that the best solution to this issue is for me, The Dark Division, to step in. If the special forces were to deal with this, we might spook the enemy before even resolving the matter. I don’t want us to end up with a situation where we not only lose our wife but also our troops," Situ Xin said, pausing for a moment before continuing earnestly, "And you need to trust my abilities, trust that I can handle this situation and bring Brother Che and Brother Jie back safely."

"Baby, this..." The three old masters knew that Situ Xin was telling the truth. If The Dark Division got involved, they could handle the situation much better than the troops could. However, the three old men were still hesitant and reluctant to let the young girl Situ Xin take such a risk.

"Alright, it’s decided," Situ Xin declared, taking matters into her own hands. "Grandpa Deng, call the mission headquarters now. I’m heading to The Dark Division and will leave from there." Saying this, she took Baibai and headed for the door.

"Baby, wait. Grandpa will go with you," Old Master Situ decided to join her.

"Grandpa, it’s alright. You stay home and wait for my good news. Don’t worry, I will surely bring Brother Che and Brother Jie back safely," Situ Xin didn’t mention that she didn’t want to be distracted by having to look after her grandfather once they reached the southern border, on top of dealing with the drug lord.

"Alright, Situ, you’d better stay put at home with me. Don’t add to the baby’s troubles," Old Master Loo said, seeing Old Master Situ still wanting to say more and quickly interjected to persuade him.

"Xiao Xin, take care of yourself. I will call the headquarters right now and have them instruct the troops to cease all operations," Old Deng said, watching Situ Xin’s retreating figure as she left the house.

Raising a hand to gesture to Old Deng and the others, Situ Xin carried Baibai and got into the car bound for The Dark Division.
