Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Can Xiao Family be Spared (3)_1

Liu Yuxiang was the first to speak, "Master, what was with that look just now? Ah Jie and I are fine. We just find women troublesome, a nuisance," what Liu Yuxiang left unsaid was they didn’t seek female companionship of that sort, but they did regularly find women to vent their desires. They were normal men after all.

But these things, they would never disclose to Situ Xin, because in their hearts, no matter how formidable Situ Xin was, she was still a little girl. Therefore, they had told all the brothers in the Dragon Society that within the gang, such adult topics were forbidden, especially in front of the young lady. Anyone violating that rule would be dealt with according to gang law.

"Miss, do you have something to attend to on this visit?" Xia Yujie was much smarter than Liu Yuxiang, knowing that if they kept on discussing the previous topic with Situ Xin, they had no idea what their predicament would turn out to be at the end. Therefore, Xia Yujie quickly shifted the topic.

"Oh, if you hadn’t asked, I would have truly forgotten." Situ Xin’s mood had greatly improved after their previous conversation, so much so that she had cast her original purpose for visiting the Dragon Society to the back of her mind. "This time, I’m here to ask for your help in letting the Xiao Family know that Cao Mengqi is the one orchestrating against me behind Liu Yuhan’s back. Also, inform them about the things Cao Mengqi has done behind Liu Yuhan. Moreover, Fu Xiaoyi, I know she’s now relying on those second and third-generation Red elites of Capital City for support; if she insists on living like that, help me spread the word that this is coming from me, Situ Xin. If anyone in Capital City dares to have unclear relations with Fu Xiaoyi, especially financially, then they shouldn’t blame me, Situ Xin, for being discourteous. Since Fu Xiaoyi doesn’t want to live well and insists on coming into my crosshairs, then I’m sorry." Situ Xin seemed to be venting her anger, "Oh, right, and about Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan’s parents, and Cao Mengqi’s parents, these matters have been dragged on for so long, it’s time to put an end to them. If you cannot handle it, contact Mu Li."

"Yes, Miss... er, Master, I’ll carry out your orders immediately," Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang replied. Xia Yujie was relieved that he had successfully diverted the earlier topic about finding women.

"Dad, the Discipline Inspection Commission just issued a decision on Yan Lei’s case. Dad, what should we do?" Old Master Xiao was still pondering over the implications of Old Master Yu’s previous phone call when he heard his youngest son, Xiao Yuechao, anxiously calling out.

"What? You said the Discipline Inspection Commission has issued a verdict on Yan Lei? How come I haven’t received any information?" Old Master Xiao was about to scold his youngest son for interrupting his thoughts, but before he could speak, he was taken aback by such astonishing news.

"I just received the news from an old friend of mine as well. Yan Lei has been expelled from the party, which means his future has been ruined. Dad, you must think of a way," Xiao Yuechao was his sole offspring, and he had invested all his hopes in his son. And now, with his son expelled from the party, it was only natural for him to be alarmed.

"What’s the hurry? Look at yourself, where is your composure as a leader?" Old Master Xiao scolded his youngest son, though his heart was far from the calm he exhibited outwardly. He was at a loss, not knowing whether the situation with his grandson, Xiao Yanlei, was a signal from Situ Xin that she had begun to seek revenge against the Xiao Family or if, Old Master Xiao thought of the previous call from Elder Yu, which seemed to imply that Situ Xin had decided not to wipe out the Xiao Family entirely.

Old Master Xiao didn’t pay attention to the expression on his youngest son’s face any longer and picked up the phone to call a trusted old friend.

"Old pal, what’s going on? Why did the Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly decide on Yan Lei’s case? Wasn’t this matter still under investigation?" As soon as the call connected, Old Master Xiao got straight to the point.

"It’s not just the decision on Xiao Yanlei that has been issued. The verdicts for your daughter and son-in-law, as well as the Cao couple, have all been released. I was notified this morning," there was a pause on the other end before continuing, "According to the information I’ve got, this is a favorable outcome for the Xiao Family, because the verdicts for Xiao Yanlei and the others mean that the Discipline Inspection Commission will not persist in pursuing the Xiao Family."

"Is that so? Could there still be a way to smooth things over, to lighten my grandson’s verdict..." Old Master Xiao wanted to say more, but his words were cut off by the other party. "Old Xiao, I advise you not to waste your effort. Not to mention that the Discipline Inspection Commission’s decisions have been announced, but if your Xiao Family insists on interfering, what would outsiders think? Another point is that this incident, the fault lies with Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan, and Situ Xin not wiping out the Xiao Family is already showing leniency. Consider her previous methods. Old Xiao, I think it’s best for you to do nothing at all. You need to let Situ Xin vent her anger,"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xiao instantly gave up his little scheme. After all, in his heart, the status of the Xiao Family far outweighed that of his grandson. "I now know what I have to do."

"Right, there’s one more thing; I’ll have Yue Jiang bring you some materials later."

"Sure,"

After the phone call ended, the heavy burden that had been weighing on Old Master Xiao’s mind seemed to have lifted. He suddenly felt much lighter.

"Dad." Xiao Yuechao was worried about his son’s situation and saw that his father had just hung up the phone. He was about to ask about his son’s case, but he had only just opened his mouth when Old Master Xiao silenced him with a gesture. "There’s no need to discuss Yan Lei’s case anymore. It ends here, and this will serve as a lesson for him."

Though Xiao Yuechao was uncomfortable with his father’s words, the image of his father that had been deeply ingrained in his heart made him subconsciously swallow the words he wanted to say.
