Chapter 762: Chapter 742 Decision_1

Situ Xin took one look at her eldest maternal uncle, as well as the faces of the elders, and knew they didn’t believe the answer she had given. She felt helpless; although the answer she gave was indeed hard to believe, it was to be expected—after all, if someone else heard about the mysterious Dark Division’s acquisition of a company just to make some extra cash, their first reaction would definitely be disbelief. But she was actually telling the absolute truth this time. "It’s true, you all know that the Dark Division’s funds used to come from the state’s allocations, but those funds are ultimately limited. Besides, borrowing from others would certainly put the Dark Division in a passive position, and there you go, ’he who takes the king’s shilling sings the king’s tune,’" Situ Xin omitted the part about the Dark Division taking on missions to make money, as it was a secret not even the higher-ups knew about. "And this time, it just so happened that the Gu Family, the owners of the conglomerate that the Dark Division acquired, had offended me. Once Dark Division operatives got wind of it, they decided to help me seek justice."

"Is it that Gu Family who offended you, Baby? Don’t worry, Grandpa has already had someone deal with them," Old Master Situ said, his temper flaring upon hearing about the last time Situ Xin had been bullied, so much so that he put aside the matter of the Dark Division and spoke out.

"Yes, I know; thank you, Grandpa, Great-grandfather, and everyone," Situ Xin was aware of her family’s actions. She was touched, and therefore she did not stop what they were doing.

"Baby, continue," Old Master Loo was more reliable than Old Master Situ. Even though he also felt angry about Situ Xin being bullied, his focus was on the reasons behind the Dark Division’s actions. His thoughts aligned with those of his eldest son, Loo Jianguo—they wanted to understand what the Dark Division was up to so they could assist Situ Xin and maintain the initiative in the face of their opponents. With that, Old Master Loo shot Old Master Situ a look, signaling him not to cause further disruption.

"Oh, okay," Situ Xin continued, "The operatives from the Dark Division came to ask for my opinion on how to deal with the Gu Family. I happened to think that the Gu Family’s company was doing quite well and the Dark Division just so happened to be in need of a source of funds, so I told them to acquire the Gu Family’s company. You all know that the Dark Division is full of capable people, so acquiring and managing the company was a piece of cake for them; hence, the process went very smoothly." "Is that really the only reason?" Jianguo still felt uneasy and asked.

"That’s really it," Situ Xin sighed. She was telling the truth, nothing but the truth. "And as for the higher-ups, they’ll know because I deliberately let it slip through the Dark Division operatives. It’s better for him to know from the start rather than being investigated later," what Situ Xin didn’t mention was that she wanted to avoid trouble.

"If it’s really like that, then I can rest easy. I was startled when the higher-ups called me in to inquire about this matter; I was afraid that the things you were doing would be discovered by them," Jianguo finally dropped his concerns and let out a sigh of relief after being reassured that Situ Xin was not deceiving him.

Looking at her eldest maternal uncle’s concerned expression, Situ Xin said, "Uncle, don’t worry. The higher-ups won’t trouble me for a while; they still need me to help them weed out the spies from other countries." Before saying this, Situ Xin had already activated a protective shield.

In fact, this protective shield was also a formation that Situ Xin had casually set up while arranging the Spirit Gathering Array. Once activated, it formed a shield that was invisible and intangible to others, preventing anyone on the outside from entering. When she was about to discuss sensitive matters, Situ Xin chose to activate it.

This is because such sensitive matters are extremely delicate in Country H or even in other countries.

Upon the mention of spies, the brows of the informed men present furrowed. They were all patriots, hence they detested the spies who infiltrated their nation, attempting to steal state secrets, especially since most of these spies were their compatriots.

Conversely, they were also clear that eliminating all the spies was a dangerous task; if these spies were removed, the losses for those countries would undoubtedly be enormous. Those countries would undoubtedly go to great lengths to prevent Situ Xin and her team from executing their mission.
