Chapter 617: Chapter 617 There Won’t Be a Next Time (1)_1

Who would have thought that Situ Xin’s fashion show, which featured embroidery as its main attraction, would completely dazzle those from abroad upon seeing the exquisite pieces?

One after another, they requested that embroidery be added to these custom garments.

Thinking of embroidery, Situ Xin couldn’t help but feel dazzled herself. In her mind, she contemplated searching her space for some machine that could assist with the embroidery. And for the sake of these embroideries, Situ Xin, who was never in a hurry to enhance her abilities or to upgrade her space, suddenly found herself considering whether to expedite the upgrading of her space. Maybe, just maybe, taking it to the next level would solve the embroidery dilemma.

Of course, such thoughts flashed briefly through Situ Xin’s mind. She knew all too well that she shouldn’t entertain them.

As for the kidnapping case orchestrated by Qin Jialiang.

Once Wu Qing and his team traced the number used to contact the kidnappers and confirmed it was used by Qin Jialiang, Situ Xin took Qin’s photo to have the thugs verify if he was the one who approached them.

Initially, Situ Xin and her team thought that Qin Jialiang, being the deputy mayor of Capital City and frequently appearing in the news, would be reluctant to meet with thugs for fear of being recognized, preferring to send someone else in his stead. However, Situ Xin’s conjecture was entirely off the mark.

When shown Qin Jialiang’s photograph, particularly after Situ Xin’s team digitally added a mask and sunglasses based on the kidnappers’ previous descriptions, the kidnappers vehemently nodded, confirming that he was indeed the man in question.

As it turned out, Qin Jialiang was a man of great suspicion, particularly after Qin Jiamao was caught. He became even more cautious, fearing that even a slight misstep could result in betrayal by someone close to him. Believing that the fewer people knew of his scheme, the better, he personally took charge. However, he also knew that he was too well-known.

That’s why he disguised himself before meeting those thugs.

With unwavering confirmation from the kidnappers and the previous findings implicating Qin Jialiang’s use of the restricted number, the evidence proving that he masterminded the kidnapping was complete.

Although Situ Xin very much wanted to handle Qin Jialiang herself, the incident had far-reaching implications. The country owed an explanation to the kidnapped compatriots from Xiangjiang, so Situ Xin had no choice but to hand over the evidence against Qin to the authorities and let them deal with it.

Even though Situ Xin relinquished Qin Jialiang to the appropriate departments, she still took the precaution of instructing her people to closely monitor the progress of the case. If the outcome proved unsatisfactory to her, she wouldn’t hesitate to step in again.

The higher-ups were aware of Situ Xin’s stance. Knowing her temperament, they made it clear that Qin Jialiang’s case had to be handled with absolute justice and impartiality.

As Situ Xin was unable to deal with Qin Jialiang personally, there was someone else she had in mind. The moment she first learned of Shan Xue’s involvement, she had Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, who had just returned from BL, apprehend Shan Xue.

It was Shan Xue, a woman Situ Xin had once mercifully spared, who had recklessly emerged and plotted against the Situ Family.

"Where’s Shan Xue?" Situ Xin asked, embracing Baibai, as she arrived at the headquarters. Baibai, who had not been let out for a while due to Situ Xin’s busy schedule, was now reluctant to stay in the space except when Situ Xin was at the hospital; at all other times, he clung to Situ Xin, unwilling to go back in.

"She’s locked in the basement," which was used by the Dragon Society to detain criminals, such as traitors to the society or those who had offended them.

From the moment Situ Xin entered, astonishment crossed Oster’s face, bewitched by her beauty.

Oster, having seen countless beauties, had to admit that Situ Xin had the most beautiful face of all the women he had ever seen, and she stirred his heart like no other. Under normal circumstances, he would have certainly approached her.

But despite being enchanted by her appearance, he kept his wits about him. He knew that this was the territory of Country H, not his own turf, and that the beautiful woman in the office of Dragon Society’s boss, Xia Yujie, had to be someone of extraordinary status, as evident by Xia’s and Liu’s attitudes towards her—someone he could not afford to provoke.

This didn’t imply that Oster was a coward. He simply preferred to be thorough in his considerations.

After being dazzled by Situ Xin’s beauty, Oster quickly masked his expressions, beginning to speculate on her identity.

While guessing Situ Xin’s identity, Oster, upon seeing the White Tiger in her arms, had a moment of realization. He was no ignoramus who would mistake the creature for a mere pet cat; he recognized at first glance that what Situ Xin cradled was indeed a rare White Tiger.

Feeling the intense gaze upon it, the White Tiger in Situ Xin’s arms, previously lounging lazily, suddenly perked up, swishing its tail and glaring at Oster. It let out several tiger growls, "Hey, what are you looking at? Do you think you’re worthy of staring at me like that?"

Oster didn’t understand a word of Baibai’s outburst, but the tiger’s roar only made him more impressed. He expressed his awe in his broken language of Country H, "This, is. Mighty, tiger."

Oster’s praise did not win Baibai’s favor but instead earned him a disdainful roll of the eyes. However, it did significantly reduce Baibai’s hostility towards Oster. The White Tiger snuggled back into Situ Xin’s embrace.

It was then that Situ Xin noticed the new face in Xia Yujie’s office, remembering that Xia and Liu Yuxiang had mentioned the Mafia boss Oster coming to Country H with them from BL.
