Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Plans Can Never Keep Up with Changes (2)_1
Old Madam Situ felt less heavy-hearted with the comfort provided by Situ Xin, which allowed Situ Xin to breathe a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, Situ Xin called Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang to inform them that she had to leave BL for some urgent matters.
The phone call from Situ Xin caught Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang off guard.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yuxiang, who had overheard the conversation, couldn’t help but complain, "Ah, how could the master do this? We came to BL because of her, how can she just leave like that?"
Since their arrival at BL, they had only seen Situ Xin a number of times that could be counted on one hand. Previously, Situ Xin had mentioned that she would show her face at Dragon Society in BL once she was finished with her fashion show. However, now they were hit with the news that Situ Xin was about to leave BL and return to Country H.
It wasn’t just Liu Yuxiang who complained upon hearing this news; even Xia Yujie frowned. However, although they both complained, Situ Xin had already explained the reason she had to rush back, so they knew it was something she couldn’t help.
Thus, despite his complaints, Liu Yuxiang wasn’t really angry.
However, Oster, who recently treated Dragon Society like his own home, was very interested in the "master" Liu Yuxiang mentioned. "Hey, Ah Xiang, who is your master? Introduce me," he said.
"Get lost, I’m not in the mood, so don’t mess with me or I might just take it out on you today," Liu Yuxiang, while understanding, was still not in the best of moods upon hearing the news of Situ Xin returning to Country H, and Oster happened to be the right target for his frustration.
"Okay, okay, okay. It’s as if I never asked anything," Oster replied, obviously frightened by Liu Yuxiang’s fists. If it were a gunfight, Oster could stand up to Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie, but in hand-to-hand combat, he was no match for the two of them.
"Hmph," Liu Yuxiang snorted after seeing that Oster got the point, then withdrew his threatening gaze, "Ah Jie, what should we do now?"
"What do you mean what should we do? Of course, we stay in BL and complete the plan," Xia Yujie glanced at Liu Yuxiang with a face that said, are you really asking such a foolish question?
Liu Yuxiang felt embarrassed as he scratched his head; he had just been thinking that with Situ Xin returning to Country H, perhaps they should leave BL as well, as they had come for her sake. He had entirely forgotten about the plan they were executing.
"Then we need to step up our pace, we don’t have that much time to mess around with Brown Kress anymore." Originally, Liu Yuxiang had finally found a worthy opponent in Brown Kress and wanted to give him a hard time, but now, he was not in the mood.
"Yes, in a few days, we will be ready to close the net," Xia Yujie said, knocking on the table.
Before, Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie were too bored to care, having caught the unlucky Brown Kress as a form of entertainment for themselves.
"Does that mean I can get in on it too?" Oster’s eyes lit up when he heard Xia Yujie mention they were about to close the net, as he had been wanting to get involved on behalf of the Mafia, but Xia Yujie had refused, which had frustrated him for quite some time.
"Sure, once we close the net, you can do whatever you want with Brown Kress, we have no objections," Xia Yujie knew that Oster had long been dissatisfied with the Brown Family, especially that well-known ancestral rule of BL’s Brown Family against associating with The Underworld.
What, does the Brown Family think they’re too good for those in The Underworld? While ordinarily, those involved in The Underworld wouldn’t provoke the Browns unprovoked, this time it was different as the current Family Head of the Browns had angered the Dragon Society. Now, the Mafia could also get involved.
In recent times, Brown Kress had been walking tall within the Brown Group, especially when facing those shareholders who were originally critical of him; his head was so high it seemed to reach the sky.
Although those shareholders didn’t like Brown Kress’s arrogant demeanor, they had to swallow their dissatisfaction when they thought of the very lucrative project he brought to Brown Group.
However, before Brown Kress could enjoy his arrogance to the fullest, trouble arose. Just as Situ Xin and her party boarded the plane back to Country H, almost all shareholders of Brown Group received a shocking message: the current CEO of Brown Group had violated their ancestral rules and was cooperating with people from The Underworld.
Along with the shareholders, an employee inside the group also received this message.
Upon receiving this news, the shareholders were beyond surprised. Some who already disliked Brown Kress took pleasure in his misfortune, while those who had been supportive of him were extremely worried. Regardless, both supporters and detractors began taking steps to investigate the authenticity of this information through trusted subordinates.
The employees who knew about this message, unlike the shareholders, didn’t go investigating; they spread the news to their colleagues immediately, and it wasn’t long before the news circulated throughout Brown Group.
When Brown Kress entered the company, he felt an unusual atmosphere. He noticed many employees throwing him cautious glances, which was different from their usual behavior when they saw him.
For a moment, Brown Kress wondered if something was off with his appearance that day. But before he could make sense of the situation, his assistant handed him a phone. "President, you have a call."
As Brown Kress took the phone, a stern voice came through before he could even speak, "Brown Kress, how dare you defy the ancestral rules and collaborate with people from The Underworld. You, you..."
Clearly, the shareholders had confirmed the truth of the message through their channels, and they had also conveyed the news to Old Lady Brown. They were able to uncover the truth so quickly thanks to Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, who had deliberately leaked information, making the investigation possible.
