Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Mistake (2)_1

Following the discussion, everyone deeply deliberated on how Situ Xin would target the Xiao Family, and how to counter Situ Xin and the power she wielded. However, by the end of the meeting, no effective solution had emerged.

Meanwhile, at the Situ Family residence.

After hanging up the phone, Situ Xin saw the disapproving expressions on the faces of her grandfather, maternal grandfather, and Old Deng.

"Baby, leave this matter to us to handle. Those people from the Xiao Family have really turned against heaven. They even harbored such malicious intentions to ruin your face, huh. Since they dare to have such thoughts, then they must be prepared to withstand our rage," Old Master Loo was truly dissatisfied with Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan’s actions this time. He felt that if he didn’t properly take those two to task, he wouldn’t be able to quell the fire in his heart.

"Yes, Baby, let the few of us old folks handle this matter. I promise..." Old Master Situ was also fuming as he spoke, while Old Deng, unusually, stood by Old Master Situ’s side, nodding in agreement with Situ Xin.

Situ Xin, seeing the few irate elders, quickly went over to their side, speaking coquettishly, "Grandpa, Grandfather, Grandpa Deng, we understand what’s in your hearts, and we know you’re doing this out of love for me. But this time, I will resolve the matter myself. If you were to deal with the Xiao Family, that could still be justified, but if you were to deal with Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan, people outside will say, even though they were in the wrong first, that you are bullying the young with your power. This way, we would seem to be the unreasonable party." Situ Xin continued, as the old masters’ faces relaxed slightly, "Moreover, you all are aware of my capabilities, not to mention the forces of The Dark Division and Dragon Society. The Xiao Family will definitely not be able to gain any advantage over us. Let alone, Liu Yuhan is still laid up in the hospital right now. Her leg won’t get better without me removing the Silver Needle I shot into her body. It will just keep hurting."

Ultimately, Old Deng was calmer than Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo. After hearing what Situ Xin said, he thought for a moment then said to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, "Situ, Old Lu, I think we should follow what Xiao Xin suggests. Let her handle it. If she can’t resolve it, then we can still step in."

"Alright then. We’ll do as Baby says," Old Master Loo’s tone of voice still betrayed some hesitation, but he relented in the end.

"Mu Li, you and Xiang Yang collate the information I had you investigate about the Xiao Family, especially the data on Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan’s family. Make it detailed, especially the shady incidents, and of course, bring along all the evidence." Due to the Xiao Family’s stance, The Dark Division had been collecting information on them all along.

"Yes, I understand. Miss, are you going to take action against the Xiao Family?" Situ Muli was unaware of the situation between Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan, and Situ Xin; he only thought that Situ Xin could no longer tolerate the Xiao Family’s actions.

"No, it’s Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan I’ll be dealing with, as well as their family." As Situ Xin spoke, she remembered another matter. "Oh, right, there’s also someone named Cao Mengqi. Look into her for me." Although Cao Mengqi hadn’t said anything unpleasant to Situ Xin or done anything excessive, Situ Xin felt even more aversion towards her than towards Liu Yuhan. Those calculating eyes of Cao Mengqi were always full of schemes. And if Situ Xin’s guess was correct, this incident seemed completely unrelated to Cao Mengqi, but to Situ Xin, the role Cao Mengqi played was anything but simple.

"I understand."

While Situ Xin had Situ Muli prepare the information on Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, along with the people of Dragon Society, had already gone to the Green Gang to take care of their leader, Shi Tou.

Without much effort, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had caused the Green Gang to vanish from Capital City. However, at the last moment, Xia Yujie spared the Green Gang’s leader, Shi Tou. Now, however, Shi Tou had gone from being the head of a gang to being a man without anything.

Liu Yuxiang did not understand Xia Yujie’s mercy at the last moment. On the way back to Dragon Society, Xia Yujie couldn’t help asking, "Ah Jie, why did you spare the leader of the Green Gang, you..."

"You think I should not have been lenient, right? This isn’t about being soft-hearted; it’s about using Shi Tou to deliver a significant gift to Xiao Yanlei and the Xiao Family," Xia Yujie said with a mysterious smile. He was well aware of the dealings and cooperation between the Green Gang’s Shi Tou and the Xiao Family. Since Situ Xin had not planned to make a move on the Xiao Family in order to maintain balance, he too had turned a blind eye to the Green Gang and Xiao Family’s affairs.

Hearing Xia Yujie’s words, Liu Yuxiang nodded knowingly. Obviously, he very much approved of Xia Yujie’s strategy.

This time, since Situ Xin was prepared to deal with the Xiao Family, and Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan, had dared to try and ruin the face of Dragon Society’s Young Miss, they had to endure the retribution from Dragon Society.

By sparing Shi Tou in the end, Xia Yujie knew that the Green Dragon Gang had been taken down by Dragon Society because of the Xiao Family, yet the Xiao Family had not once come out to give a hand to the Green Gang even as it disappeared from Capital City. This inaction had already pushed Shi Tou’s dissatisfaction with the Xiao Family to the extreme.

According to Xia Yujie’s understanding of Shi Tou, he was not someone who would take a loss lying down. Now that the Green Gang had vanished from Capital City and his downfall was a gift from the Xiao Family, he surely would not let the Xiao Family off the hook easily. If he was going to suffer, then Xiao Yanlei and his family should not expect to live comfortably either.

Although Xia Yujie had plans to instigate infighting between Shi Tou and the Xiao Family, what he did not know was that Shi Tou had kept evidence of all the things he had done for the Xiao Family. This was also a precaution Shi Tou had taken when he initially cooperated with the Xiao Family, fearing that they would discard the Green Gang when the time came.

With the cooperative evidence against the Xiao Family in his hands, Shi Tou didn’t know whether to feel relieved for his foresight or to rage at the Xiao Family’s ruthlessness.
