The Dark Division moved quickly; within less than two hours of Situ Xin’s instructions, Situ Muli and Xiang Yang, carrying the documents Situ Xin required, arrived at the Xiao Family house. Surprisingly, Mei accompanied them on this trip.

"Sit." As Situ Xin took the documents handed over by Situ Muli, she glanced at Xiang Yang and Mei, who appeared somewhat restrained today. "Huh, Mei, what brings you to my place today? And you two, what’s with the awkwardness? Have you done something wrong? It’s okay, tell me, and if it’s within my power, I’ll definitely resolve it for you."

Hearing Situ Xin’s words, the expressions on Xiang Yang and Mei’s faces grew even more embarrassed. Mei glared at Xiang Yang, signaling him to explain. Xiang Yang received Mei’s gaze and cleared his throat. "Ahem, Leader, Mei and I haven’t done anything wrong. It’s, well," Xiang Yang looked at Mei and said, "Mei is pregnant, so we brought her here today for two reasons. One is to share the good news with you first, and the other is that Mei probably won’t be able to go on missions for the next few months. So, uh, I’ll take over Mei’s duties in the future."

"What? Mei is pregnant? That’s wonderful news." As Situ Xin spoke, she noticed the cup of tea next to Mei and quickly stood up to remove the cup. "Mei, now that you’re pregnant, you need to be careful with your diet. You should drink less tea and such. In a moment, I’ll get you some freshly squeezed juice."

"Leader, thank you." Mei and Xiang Yang were moved by Situ Xin’s attention to detail in their care.

"No need for thanks. Since you call me Leader, I must take good care of those close to me. Also, later I’ll give you a list of things that are forbidden for pregnant women and things that are beneficial," Situ Xin thought to herself, planning to give Xiang Yang some fruits from her storage space when they left.

"Thank you, Leader." Xiang Yang knew that being a man, he was utterly ignorant about these matters. Having heard from his wife, Mei, that she was pregnant and he was going to be a father, he was overjoyed, but after the excitement came unstoppable worry. He feared that any carelessness might endanger the baby in her womb.

Therefore, Xiang Yang, against his usual behavior, took his wife to see Situ Xin.

After addressing matters, the conversation shifted back to the main topic. "Miss, please look over these documents first, and after you finish, we’ll follow your orders," Situ Muli suggested, indicating the documents in his hand.

Situ Xin nodded and began to flip through the documents. She read them swiftly, scanning a whole page in just a few glimpses. Fortunately, everyone present was familiar with Situ Xin’s quick reading pace, which otherwise might have left them dumbfounded.

"I never thought the Xiao Family’s daily life could be so exciting," Situ Xin remarked with a tinge of emotion after setting aside the documents.

"It is quite exciting. Not a single one in the Xiao Family is good," said Mei, who was only ever gentle with Xiang Yang and otherwise a fiery woman. She was so angered by Liu Yuhan and Xiao Yanlei’s attempted wrongdoings against Situ Xin – though they had been unsuccessful – that she was almost ready to personally deal with Liu Yuhan and Xiao Yanlei.

"No, not everyone in the Xiao Family is scum; Xiao Yanqin is decent enough. He may have a cold face but has never been tainted by the misdeeds of other Xiao Family members," Situ Xin continued, recalling the content described in the documents. "For this situation, I want to warn the Xiao Family, but I don’t intend to uproot them just yet. You also know that the person above has been reassured about the Situ, Loo, and Xiao Families over the years because we have the Xiao Family, which has always been trying to take down the person at the top and pull our families down with them. If the Xiao Family falls now, the person above would feel uneasy and start looking for trouble with my family members. I do not wish to see that happen. So, for this time, a lesson will suffice, just to keep the Xiao Family in check. As for the Liu Yuhan and Cao Mengqi families, no need for niceties. You should know what to do," Situ Xin pointed to the documents, indicating to Situ Muli and others her instructions.

"We understand how to proceed now," confirmed Situ Muli and Xiang Yang, grasping Situ Xin’s intentions as they observed her gestures. It was clear they were to fully utilize all the useful information contained in those documents.

Xiang Yang and others, familiar with the contents of the documents, thought to themselves, "This time, the Liu Yuhan and Cao Mengqi families are going to be in big trouble." However, they felt it was well-deserved for bringing trouble upon themselves by angering the Leader of The Dark Division.

The Dark Division acted efficiently, and Situ Xin didn’t concern herself with their methods. The very next day after she met with Situ Muli and others, the Liu household was in complete disarray.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yali, Liu Yuhan’s mother, found a letter in their mailbox addressed to her. It was a heavy envelope with only a recipient’s name and no sender’s address. She examined the envelope repeatedly, growing more puzzled. Despite her suspicion that it was bound to be bad news, curiosity led her to open it.

As Xiao Yali opened the envelope and saw the photos inside, she trembled with rage. They were photos of her husband, looking deeply affectionate toward a much younger woman in her twenties, and subsequent ones showed him with the woman and a baby, then a little boy. Seeing her husband looking lovingly at another woman, Xiao Yali was filled not only with fury but also with bitterness.

For many years, due to her father’s influence, she had always held the dominant position in the family. Her husband had been extremely affectionate toward her, even submissive. Several of her friends had envied her, commenting, "Yali, you’re so lucky to have a husband who loves you so much. Unlike us, we have to constantly be on guard against our husbands stepping out."
