Chapter 591: Chapter 591 The Power of Words_1

"I..." Situ Xin had just begun to speak when Old Master Xiao’s security guard hurried in, interrupting what she was about to say.

This abrupt appearance of the guard, interrupting Situ Xin’s words, drew frowns from Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao. However, since the guard wasn’t under the employ of Old Master Situ or Old Master Loo, they felt it inappropriate to comment. As for Situ Xin, she wasn’t angry about the guard barging in and cutting her off. She knew the professional standards of the security staff and understood that they wouldn’t have rushed in without an urgent matter at hand.

If it were any other time, Old Master Xiao might not have said anything. However, the situation was different now, as he wasn’t the only one at the Situ Family home. Therefore, Old Master Xiao sternly scolded the guard, "Xiao Fang, what is the meaning of this? Where are your usual manners, rushing in like this unannounced?"

"Commander, I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional. It’s just that... I just received a notification from the military hospital that Muli, he... he has been injured and admitted to the hospital," Guard Fang also knew that his behavior was indeed wrong, but the situation was urgent.

"What? What did you say? Muli is injured?" Upon hearing that his grandson was injured, Old Master Xiao stood up abruptly from the sofa, his eyes wide open, unblinking as he stared at Guard Xiao Fang, waiting for his response.

"Yes, I just received a call from the military hospital. They said Muli is there now," Xiao Fang had calmed down, and the anxious expression on his face had faded. He was well aware of how inappropriate his earlier behavior had been.

When Situ Xin heard from Guard Xiao Fang that Xiao Muli was hospitalized, her eyebrows furrowed momentarily but then relaxed. This happened so quickly that none of the three Old Masters, all focused on Xiao Fang, noticed Situ Xin’s unusual reaction.

However, Situ Xin was puzzled, wondering how Xiao Muli could have been injured. Just last night, when Xiao Muli had called her, he seemed fine and flirtatious. How could he now be injured and in the hospital? Situ Xin’s eyes were full of concern.

"Shouldn’t Muli be at the military academy? How could he be injured? We haven’t heard of any missions lately," Old Master Situ, also worried after hearing about Xiao Muli’s injury, suggested, "Should I give Haoran a call and ask?" His question was directed at Old Master Xiao.

Before Old Master Xiao could reply, Old Master Loo, also full of concern, said, "Let’s not worry about how Muli got injured for now. I think it’s best if we go to the hospital to see how he is first."

"Right, right, Loo is correct. I’m going to the hospital now," Old Master Xiao, reminded by Old Master Loo, had finally snapped out of the initial shock from the news of his grandson’s injury.

However, the usual composure of Old Master Xiao was now nowhere to be seen. He hastened towards the door without a second thought, with much quicker steps than usual.

"Grandpa Xiao, let me go with you," Situ Xin said, as she too was worried about Xiao Muli. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she saw his condition with her own eyes.

Unknowingly, Xiao Muli’s image had gradually seeped into her heart without Situ Xin realizing it. His place in her heart had slowly started to shift. Yet, she was completely unaware of this change.

Not only was Situ Xin oblivious, but Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo also failed to notice the affection their beloved Situ Xin harbored. They simply thought she wanted to accompany them because of the bonds of growing up together, believing that Situ Xin saw Xiao Muli as a brother.

The two Old Masters had already put the previous matter about Elder Yu behind them because of their concern for Xiao Muli’s injury. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have failed to notice Situ Xin’s unusual demeanor right after hearing Elder Yu’s words about Yu Qihao’s affection for Situ Xin.

In the future, when Xiao Muli stood before them hand-in-hand with Situ Xin, they would regret their oversight, lamenting how they had allowed that rascal Xiao Muli to so quickly steal away their treasure. Of course, this all came later.

At that moment, seeing that Situ Xin also wanted to go to the hospital, they instinctively thought to tell her not to bother, to ask her what she would do there, but after seeing the urgency in Situ Xin’s eyes, they swallowed their words.

Old Master Xiao, on the other hand, stopped in his tracks when Situ Xin spoke up about joining them. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Well, that’s fine. Xiao Xin is skilled in medicine. Having her along might indeed be a help."

Old Master Xiao could never have imagined that his words would save his grandson Xiao Muli’s life. Nor could he foresee how they would secure his grandson’s happiness for a lifetime.

"How could we forget, Baby is knowledgeable in medicine. In that case, I will also go along," Old Master Situ finally decided to join them, although his unease was clear. Whether that concern was for his precious granddaughter Situ Xin or for Xiao Muli was anyone’s guess.

"I’ll come too. Let’s go, my car is right outside. We’ll leave now," Old Master Loo announced his intention to accompany them as well.

Situ Xin and the group traveled in Old Master Loo’s car to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Situ Xin sat with her head lowered, silent. In fact, her Divine Sense had already entered her special space. She was checking what life-saving medicines were available, not knowing Xiao Muli’s condition, but preparing for the worst, just in case.

Situ Xin took out a variety of elixirs from her space, each in a small porcelain bottle, ready for any emergency. She even took out her rarely used medical needles.

Under normal circumstances, Situ Xin’s odd behavior would have been quickly noticed. However, with Old Master Xiao there, quieter than even Situ Xin, Old Master Situ and the others did not take her unusual silence to heart, assuming it was just her concern for Xiao Muli.
