Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Follow-up Plan, Increase Affection (2)_1

"So what are you planning to do? What’s your plan?" Xiao Muli asked, frowning. He felt that this issue was quite thorny and by no means easy to handle; getting involved in it wasn’t something one could easily walk away from. After all, the enemies they were facing were not just a few individuals or even dozens or hundreds of people, but entire countries.

"Don’t worry, I won’t directly publish this list. To publish the list would be to blatantly tell those people that the list is with our Situ Family. Besides, the people on this list hold various official ranks, some high and some low, but many of them hold key positions. If we were to kick them out of their positions directly, there would be many lingering problems. My plan is to gradually collect information on the people on this list, especially their criminal records. Then, using this evidence of their crimes, we can deal with them openly and legitimately," Situ Xin responded.

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli nodded in agreement. "That’s really the only way to do it. With solid evidence, even if people with ulterior motives want to cause us trouble, they won’t have a way to start. It’s just that this method will be very slow, we have to take our time."

"No problem, I can wait. It’s only by taking it slow that we can minimize the damage in resolving this issue," Situ Xin said, ready for a long-term battle when she had set this plan in motion.

This not-so-long conversation reassured Xiao Muli, who had been anxious. Although Situ Xin hadn’t told him anything as straightforward as "I like you" or "I love you," this conversation made him certain that he had a place in Situ Xin’s heart.

Situ Xin’s hospitalization came to an end amidst the growing affection between her and Xiao Muli. As the days went by and Xiao Muli’s wounds were nearly healed, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

He took advantage of moments when no one was around to be affectionate with Situ Xin. Hands intertwined, lips meeting in kisses; each time, Situ Xin would become flustered and her face would turn red. Not only was Situ Xin embarrassed, but she was also worried that their overly intimate actions might be caught by someone.

How Xiao Muli managed it was a mystery, but during these days, every time they were affectionate with each other, not once were they caught by Situ Xin’s grandparents, or by the nurses and doctors.

What Situ Xin didn’t know was that from the day Xiao Muli moved into the same ward as her, he had been silently keeping track of Old Master Situ and the others’ visitation times, as well as the appearance times of the doctors and nurses. Then, seizing the right moment, he would steal affectionate moments with Situ Xin.

No matter how reluctant Xiao Muli was, it was time for both him and Situ Xin to be discharged from the hospital.

That morning, learning that Xiao Muli and Situ Xin were being discharged, both the Situ and Loo Families mobilized to the hospital bright and early. Old Master Xiao followed the large groups from the Situ and Loo Families to the hospital as well.

"Oh, our baby can finally be discharged and come home. When the baby isn’t home, it always feels like something is missing," Old Madam Situ said with a smile as she helped Situ Xin pack her things.

"Exactly, these past few days, doing anything at home, I felt as if something was missing," Old Madam Loo echoed.

The women from the Situ and Loo Families were busy helping Situ Xin and Xiao Muli pack, while the men from both families looked at Xiao Muli with unfriendly eyes. Especially Situ Haotian, who was already planning when he could find time in the next few days for a sparring session with Xiao Muli.

Xiao Muli faced these hostile gazes calmly and confidently. The moment he decided he wanted to marry Situ Xin, he knew he would have to go through this ordeal. As the saying goes, "Without experiencing storms, how can one see a rainbow?" He had to endure the test of Situ Xin’s family if he was to take home the one he loved.

"Everything is packed. Let’s go," Old Madam Situ said, handing the things in her hands to her son and pulling Situ Xin by the hand as they headed out.

Upon hearing Old Madam Situ’s words, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo exchanged a glance, grabbed Xiao Muli, and said, "Muli, let’s go too." Saying so, the two old men, one on each side, practically abducted Xiao Muli from the ward.

Old Master Xiao was not worried at all about his grandson’s situation; instead, he watched with amusement. He wasn’t concerned about his grandson’s health. Others might need proper rest after recovering from a serious illness, but his grandson was no ordinary person.

Just now, he had personally seen and heard Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo asking Gao Yong about Xiao Muli’s health right before they arrived at the ward. Gao Yong had confidently told them that Xiao Muli’s recovery was excellent and that he did not need any rest. In fact, he was fit to go straight to training if needed.

With this in mind, what was there for Old Master Xiao to worry about? He was looking forward to his grandson showing some spirit and marrying Xiao Xin sooner to bring her home as his granddaughter-in-law.

On the contrary, Yaxin and the others were quite worried about Xiao Muli’s health. They knew that these two old masters had been holding back their anger for some time, and today they planned to vent their frustrations.

However, the men from the Situ and Loo Families who were planning to have a good sparring session with Xiao Muli didn’t manage to execute their plan in the short term. On the day Xiao Muli was discharged, as soon as he got home, he received a phone call about a problem with the Xiao Family’s arms business, which required his attention.

The incident with the list narrated by Situ Xin had already given Xiao Muli some ideas. Those people from several countries had grown overly bold, daring to reach out so far, and even targeted his close brother. This was unforgivable.

Coincidentally, several powerful families in those countries, even some officials, were involved in arms deals with the Xiao Family, requiring their support. Therefore, Xiao Muli wanted to teach them a lesson, to let them know what they could touch and what they couldn’t.
