Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Mistake (1)_1

He rushed back to gather his subordinates and hurried to figure out how to resolve the situation. Although he was angry at Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan for their incompetence, his anger aside, the problem still had to be addressed.

Watching Old Master Xiao’s furious departure from the hospital room, Xiao Yanlei’s expression immediately darkened. And Liu Yuhan’s tears hadn’t stopped for a moment; by now, her eyes were swollen.

Cao Mengqi was wondering if she had said anything bad about Situ Xin or made any inappropriate gestures in front of him. After reviewing her behavior, she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she hadn’t done anything improper.

"Brother, what are we going to do now?" Liu Yuhan asked, enduring the pain with a hoarse voice from crying for so long.

"You’re asking me what to do? How would I know? Yuhan, you’ve really outdone yourself this time, daring to lie to me," Xiao Yanlei said, giving Cao Mengqi a meaningful glance.

"Yanlei, I know I was wrong. It won’t happen again," Liu Yuhan quickly admitted her mistake. In the past, as long as she apologized to Xiao Yanlei right away, he wouldn’t stay angry with her.

But this time, that approach clearly didn’t work. Xiao Yanlei looked deeply at Liu Yuhan and said seriously, "Yuhan, not every mistake can be resolved with a simple ’I’m sorry.’" Even though Xiao Yanlei couldn’t hear what Situ Xin said on the other end of the phone, he could roughly guess from his grandfather’s words. "The mistakes you made before were minor, and all within the family; even if everyone felt upset, they wouldn’t really do anything to you. But this time, we’ve offended someone we can’t afford to provoke. Even if your grandfather and my grandfather bow down to them, they won’t let us off easily." Xiao Yanlei felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He knew that Situ Xin definitely wouldn’t let this go easily, and he didn’t know whether his grandfather would choose the Xiao Family or the two of them.

After hearing Xiao Yanlei’s words, Liu Yuhan wanted to ask him exactly who Situ Xin was, what extraordinary abilities he had that made her grandfather and the Xiao Family so wary of him. But she also knew that asking was useless, because if Xiao Yanlei could say, he would have told her already.

As soon as Old Master Xiao left the hospital, he had his security guards notify his people one by one to gather at their usual meeting place.

Old Master Xiao’s people, who were all supposed to be working, suddenly received such a notice, leaving them puzzled about what urgent matter could be prompting such a hurried assembly.

Although they had questions, they still arrived at the gathering place on time.

"Leader, why have you urgently called us here? Has something happened?" asked a thin, tall man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. As he asked this question, he was also trying to recall if anything had happened today, or even yesterday.

And none of them had any idea about the issue between Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan, and Situ Xin.

"Everyone, please take a seat. This issue is quite thorny and relates to our Xiao Family. Alas, it’s due to the inadequacies of my descendants," Old Master Xiao couldn’t help but sigh and said. He thought about how if his grandson or granddaughter had capabilities like Situ Xin, he wouldn’t be so fraught today.

"Leader, you can tell us anything. As long as it’s within our power, we will definitely try our best to resolve it for you," piped up another man, stout and greasy-faced, looking quite prosperous, with an ingratiating tone.

"Hmm," Old Master Xiao growled low before speaking. "Today, my grandson Xiao Yanlei and my granddaughter Liu Yuhan had some conflicts with Situ Xin." Old Master Xiao understated the affair between Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan, and Situ Xin.

"Situ Xin? The darling of the Situ and Loo families?"

"Is it the same Situ Xin who is the Leader of The Dark Division?" At the mention of Situ Xin’s name, the atmosphere among those present instantly became grave.

"Yes, that’s the Situ Xin," Old Master Xiao nodded in confirmation.

"My goodness, how did we end up opposing Situ Xin? We should avoid that girl whenever possible," a voice came from the corner, expressing everyone’s sentiments. The attendees clearly understood that over the years, their sphere of influence had stalled and even showed signs of weakening, and they dared not make any significant moves. This was all thanks to Situ Xin.

"Cough cough. The truth is, I don’t want to get involved in this at all. But you all know about Situ Xin’s capabilities, and how my incompetent grandson and granddaughter aren’t up to dealing with her," Old Master Xiao said, his meaning clear though not explicitly stated – he intended to handle the situation.

"If the Leader intends to handle it, then let’s discuss countermeasures and strategies accordingly..." Although those below weren’t in agreement with Old Master Xiao’s plans, who were they to object when he was the boss? Even if they disagreed, they had to keep it to themselves.
