Chapter 576: Chapter 576 News (1)_1

And this piece of news about Shan Qiuling was just one of the things they had uncovered in their investigation.

When Situ Xin saw the information about Shan Qiuling, she was honestly shocked by Shan Qiuling’s chaotic private life. After all, Situ Xin, in both her past and current life, was someone with hardly any private life to speak of.

What had been exposed was merely one night of Shan Qiuling’s wild life, a night which happened to result in Shan Qiuling becoming pregnant.

Even more unfortunately, Shan Qiuling had actually thought of using this child, whose father’s identity even she wasn’t clear about, to extort the Situ Family. Did she really think the Situ Family was so easily bullied?

Shan Qiuling’s actions had thoroughly infuriated Situ Xin, which is why, upon seeing those sensational photos, she did not hesitate to give them to an entertainment newspaper under Dragon Society, to be featured on the front page. The headline they chose was indeed explosive.

"Hmm, not bad, the president of this newspaper did a good job, as did their staff. Looks like, I’ll have to give them a bonus," Situ Xin, satisfied with the newspaper’s content, was in a very good mood. "Hehe, this is just the appetizer, the main course is yet to come."

Just as Situ Xin was appreciating her masterpiece, her phone rang. Picking it up, she saw it was a call from Xiao Muli.

Looking at Xiao Muli’s number on her phone, Situ Xin was quite puzzled. At this time, Xiao Muli should be in school, and he probably didn’t know that she had come back from BL ahead of time. Situ Xin’s mind was racing, but her hands were not slow at all.

She pressed the answer call button.

"Xiao Xin, back already? How did things go with your family situation? Is Brother Che all right?" Xiao Muli had learned about Situ Che being framed as soon as he returned from BL. However, he chose not to tell Situ Xin, who was at BL at the time, and instead instructed his subordinates to investigate the matter.

What Xiao Muli found out confirmed that Situ Che had been set up by the Liu Family and the Shan Family. But his subordinates couldn’t find any evidence to prove that Situ Che had been framed. Xiao Muli had also been looking for the surveillance recordings for a long time, but there was no lead at all.

Later, he had to return to the military school, so he let his subordinates continue the investigation. That’s why he knew right after Situ Xin returned to Country H.

But Xiao Muli was in a military school, where strict management made it hard to get messages in and out. So, until now, he knew nothing about the sudden plummet in the Shan’s stock prices nor about Shan Qiuling making headlines.

If Xiao Muli had known about these two pieces of news, he would definitely not have asked such questions. Because he would have known at a glance that they were definitely Situ Xin’s handiwork.

"I’m back. Brother Muli, you’re well-informed even at the military school. Impressive. But, Brother Muli, as for family affairs, let’s not tell my brother just yet. Let’s wait until everything is handled well before we tell him. I’m afraid if he finds out now, he’ll be distracted at school and will keep thinking about taking leave to come back," Situ Xin particularly instructed.

Now that the situation was almost dealt with, only some mopping up was left to do. Situ Xin felt that no one in the family was more suitable for these tasks than her. Besides, she had been extremely bored lately, so dealing with these two families was a good way to pass the time.

"Okay, I got it. But, Xiao Xin, if there’s anything I can help with, don’t be polite with me, let me know. By the way, I’ve gathered some information from my investigation, why don’t you take it back and have a look, it might be of help in resolving this issue," Xiao Muli still thought that the matter with Situ Che hadn’t been resolved.

"That information won’t be necessary, Brother Che’s issue has basically passed. Haven’t you received the news? Today Shan’s stock prices plummeted, and that headline on the entertainment newspaper is quite sensational, Brother Muli, if you have time, you should really take a good look. It’s very exciting," when Situ Xin mentioned the news about Shan Qiuling, her mood seemed particularly good.

However, Xiao Muli had no interest whatsoever in this Shan Qiuling, whoever that was. Now, hearing from Situ Xin that it was all resolved, he didn’t dwell on the matter any further. "I never watch entertainment news, I’m not interested in that. By the way, girl, missed me yet? I’ve been missing you since I left BL."

Situ Xin didn’t expect Xiao Muli to make such a huge leap in the conversation, the first half didn’t seem to connect with the second half at all. "Ahem. Well, Brother Muli, I still have some things to take care of, so let’s do this, I’ll call you back when I’m free." After saying that, Situ Xin hung up the phone eagerly.

Situ Xin’s skin was not as thick as Xiao Muli’s. She really couldn’t bring herself to answer Xiao Muli’s question about whether she missed him or not.

Xiao Muli, hearing the slightly shy voice of Situ Xin on the other end of the phone, a faint smile appeared on his face. He could almost see Situ Xin’s blushing face and her shy demeanor upon hearing his words.

And just thinking about Situ Xin’s charming little ways made Xiao Muli’s heart itch, wishing he could see her right at that moment.

As Xiao Muli listened to the busy tone "beep beep" from the phone, a subtle smile mixed with a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, "Alas, this girl really has thin skin." But Xiao Muli was absolutely fond of Situ Xin’s shy demeanor.

"Hey, Muli, why do you look so smitten? What were you up to just now? You didn’t go meet some beautiful girl, did you?" Xiao Muli came back from his secretive phone call, still wearing the happy expression he had while talking to Situ Xin. This surprised Situ Jin, who slung an arm over Xiao Muli’s shoulder and asked curiously, "Hey, Muli, don’t be like that, if you meet a beautiful girl you should introduce her to me and Ah Hao. Right, Ah Hao?" It wasn’t that Situ Jin was convinced Xiao Muli had met some beautiful girl, it was just that Xiao Muli’s expression was too surprising.
