Chapter 609: Chapter 609 Exploring the Depths (2)_1

The supreme leader also knew that Situ Xin was someone who did what she said. Since Situ Xin had now, with him looking on, stated these words, she would see them through.

"Girl, it’s not that I don’t want to deal with the list. Every time I think of the names on the list, the cancerous tumors on our country, I can hardly sleep at night. However, most of the people on this list hold critical positions in the government. Not only that, too many people are involved, across too vast an area. If we take action now, it could lead to a temporary paralysis of our governmental machinery," the supreme leader sighed before continuing, "Ah, you know what it’s like for me, sitting in this position, how many people are eyeing it, ever vigilant, waiting for a chance to usurp me. It’s not that I fear being overthrown. What I truly fear is that these ambitious individuals will take this opportunity to infiltrate the center of our country’s political power. If that happens, the consequences are unimaginable to me."

Although he had reached the highest position of power, the supreme leader found himself restricted in his actions, unable to act freely as he had to think everything through carefully and comprehensively.

Situ Xin took the supreme leader’s words to heart. She could feel that when he spoke to her, he was being sincere, not offering platitudes or hollow words. Situ Xin was aware of the grave significance of the situation, but she had her own thoughts. "I think I understand what you mean. You’re not saying that you don’t want to deal with the people on the list. Rather, you feel that the time isn’t right yet, or perhaps, you currently lack the confidence to root out everyone on it. Right?"

After Situ Xin finished speaking, she looked unwaveringly at the supreme leader, who, under her direct gaze, nodded.

Seeing the supreme leader nod, Situ Xin continued, "Then let me tell you, I intend to deal with the people on this list. While I cannot touch those from Country Z and Country Y right now, I can’t let them have an easy time either. I will gradually eradicate their undercover influence in our Country H. You must know that if their foothold in our Country H is not addressed promptly, it could become a serious threat to us."

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, the supreme leader lapsed into his thoughts. He lowered his head for quite a while before finally looking up at Situ Xin and saying, "Girl, I won’t stop you in what you choose to do, and if you come across anything you can’t handle alone, you can come to me. I will support you with all my might." With these words, the supreme leader was signaling his stance. Although he would not directly involve himself in Situ Xin’s operation, he was willing to provide indirect assistance.

"Thank you," said Situ Xin. Feeling the conversation had reached its end, she stood up and bid farewell to the supreme leader.

After leaving the supreme leader, Situ Xin thought about her failure to visit Xiao Muli in the hospital today, so she instructed her driver to turn the car around and head to the hospital.

"Get out!" Situ Xin had barely reached the door to Xiao Muli’s ward when she heard his cold roar from inside.

Situ Xin wondered who had the nerve to anger Xiao Muli, who, despite his usual cold demeanor, rarely lost his temper to such an extent. Curious, she pushed open the door to the ward.

"I’m sorry, I, I..." Just as Situ Xin pushed open the door, she heard a young girl’s voice from inside, sweet but now tinged with pitiful undertones. Hearing the voice, Situ Xin’s eyebrows raised a notch—she had not expected a girl to be inside Xiao Muli’s ward.

Situ Xin stepped into the ward, pushing the door open.

The entrance of Situ Xin into the ward caught the attention of the two people inside. Xiao Muli’s face, which had been full of anger, immediately softened when he looked up and saw who had come in.

"Xiao Xin, you’re here." The fury that had been ignited in Xiao Muli dissipated miraculously upon seeing Situ Xin.

"Yes. But what was all that anger about just now? What is this nurse doing here?" Situ Xin noticed the basin and towel spilled on the floor and then looked at the girl who had stopped crying as soon as Situ Xin entered, staring with a hint of anger at the woman who had suddenly appeared and disrupted her plan. Turning to her brother, she asked, "Brother Muli, what’s all this about?"

At Situ Xin’s question, Xiao Muli’s expression stiffened, unsure of how to explain the situation. He shot a fierce glance at the young nurse, who trembled with fear under the gaze that had previously been one of envy and resentment.

"Aren’t you going to leave, or are you waiting for someone to throw you out? If you want to keep working in this hospital, never show up in front of me again. If I see you once more, I’ll make sure no hospital in Capital City will hire you," Xiao Muli said sternly, his presence menacing as he looked at the young nurse.

The young nurse knew that Xiao Muli’s words were no joke. She had struggled to get this job at the hospital. She didn’t want to lose her position over failing to snag a wealthy husband in Xiao Muli.

Now, looking at Xiao Muli, the admiration she once held was gone, replaced by nothing but fear. The young nurse glanced at Xiao Muli, then at Situ Xin, standing casually, before sobbing and running out of Xiao Muli’s ward.

The nurse had been captivated by Xiao Muli’s handsome appearance from the first time she accompanied the main doctor on his rounds and further intrigued once she learned of his status. Determined to catch this golden bachelor, she had been visiting Xiao Muli’s ward increasingly often, always looking for moments when it was empty.

This time, seeing no one in Xiao Muli’s ward, she had come again. After removing an IV needle for Xiao Muli, she offered to give him a sponge bath, and without waiting for his response, went to the washroom, grabbed a basin and towel, and set out to wash him.
