Chapter 418: Chapter 418 The Military Academy’s New Campus Heartthrob (2)_1

However, this guy now incredibly regrets helping that girl in class with her note-passing. And as he watched Situ Jin walk away, he swore to himself that he would never again help girls pass notes.

Situ Jin was oblivious to the boy’s thoughts, his own mind filled with anxious mutterings, "Why hasn’t Grandpa called yet? By this time, Baby should have been home already. Could it be... No, impossible, impossible." With these thoughts, Situ Jin shook his head fiercely, trying to dispel the unsettling thoughts.

Sitting next to Situ Jin, Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao were also deeply engrossed in their books, full of their own concerns, and thus completely unaware of Situ Jin’s unusual behavior.

It wasn’t until Situ Jin’s phone in his bag vibrated that he sprung up from his seat without a care for the time or place and dashed out of the classroom. Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao followed him out, leaving the rest of the class to stare at the backs of the three departing figures.

"Hello, Grandpa, how is Baby? Is she hurt?" As soon as Situ Jin answered the call, he couldn’t wait to find out.

"Bro, when did I become your Grandpa?" The cheerful voice of Situ Xin came from the other end of the line. She hadn’t expected that, upon answering the call, Situ Jin would be so impulsive as to call her Grandpa without even clarifying who it was.

"Ah, Baby." Hearing Situ Xin’s voice, Situ Jin realized the blunder he had made and scratched his head in slight embarrassment. However, he quickly pushed the gaffe out of his mind. "Baby, are you alright? You’re not hurt, are you? Why did you even follow Brother Che and the others? Let them handle their missions. Why involve a little girl like you?" Situ Jin scolded Situ Xin over the phone.

"Oh, brother, I’m fine. I was just worried about Brother Che and Brother Jie. Plus, I got a tip that someone at the special forces headquarters leaked their movements. I was so concerned for them that I had to go. See, I’m perfectly unharmed," Situ Xin explained to Situ Jin.

"Glad to hear you’re fine. Don’t go by yourself next time; tell me, and I’ll go for you." Just the thought of Situ Xin getting hurt made Situ Jin’s heart uneasy.

"Okay, I got it. Next time I’ll look for you, brother. Hehe, sorry I couldn’t visit you at your school this time. I promise I’ll come next week with double the treats for you," Situ Xin pacified him over the phone.

"Alright, next week you’d better bring me double portions to make it up to me."

"Definitely," Situ Xin assured, just before Situ Jin heard Old Master Situ grumpily add, "Baby, you’re spoiling this boy rotten. He’s in military school to face hardships, not to have food brought in from outside, subverting the rules."

After hearing from his grandfather, Situ Jin caught Situ Xin whispering, "Bro, I can’t talk anymore. Besides, I reckon you won’t be getting any treats next week. I’m hanging up now, take care of yourself."

"Baby is fine. She’ll come over next week," Situ Jin said as he hung up the phone, then turned to see his two brothers, Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao, staring at him intently.

Relief washed over the two upon hearing that Situ Xin was unharmed. Their concerns, which had been hanging over them because Situ Xin hadn’t visited the military school that week, meant they had missed the chance to ask her about the class monitor.

At the strong insistence of the old masters, Situ Xin, who wasn’t hurt, still rested at home for several days. She took the opportunity to give Situ Che and Loo Jie a thorough physical recuperation. She also provided them with introductory books on Formations to study while they had some downtime at home, promising to teach them the basic formations once they had mastered the introductory material.

Both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo showed interest when they saw the introductory Formation books Situ Xin brought out. They set aside their chess games and spent their days absorbed in studying the introductory material.

After Situ Xin agreed to teach them the basic formations once they had learned the introductory concepts, the two old masters became even more enthusiastic, studying faster than both Situ Che and Loo Jie, and doing so very efficiently.

The day after Situ Xin returned, she received all the information on Jiang Anbang. Just as she had expected, Jiang Anbang really was with the enemy, and he had recently become the captain of Situ Che and Loo Jie’s team. This mission was also his first time leading the team since he became captain.

The information Situ Xin had gotten stated that the mission hadn’t originally included Situ Che and Loo Jie; they were last-minute replacements for two individuals linked to the rivals of the Situ Family and Loo Family. Those rivals, knowing the dangers of the mission, planned to have Jiang Anbang send Situ Che and Loo Jie to the front lines, hoping for their possible sacrifice.

Reading this, Situ Xin remembered the scene when Situ Che received a call after dining at the Dragon Society, anger evident on her face. "Very well, this bunch has a nice plan, using someone else’s hand to kill. But they’ll have to see if I agree to their game."

Situ Xin, not one to be lenient toward those who schemed against her loved ones, picked up the phone and called Xia Yujie of the Dragon Society. "Ah Jie, send me the evidence of bribe-taking that I told you to sit on before. I need it." This was information the Dragon Society’s intelligence had gathered earlier about some officials taking bribes, which Situ Xin had initially downplayed, asking Xia Yujie just to hold onto it for a while. She hadn’t expected to need it so soon.

The recent actions truly crossed Situ Xin’s line, and she gave a command to Xiang Yang. "Order them to do a check for me. In the special forces, find out who are their people. Get me a list, then investigate them one by one for any illegal or undisciplined behavior—the more, the better, the more serious, the better. This time, I won’t let them get away. I’m going to clean them out of the special forces one by one."
