Chapter 781: Chapter 758 Timing is Not Right (2)_2

"Cough cough." Xiao Muli didn’t expect Situ Xin to counter him with that question. He had mixed feelings about it; he wanted Situ Xin to tell Old Master Situ the truth, which would solidify their relationship. But deep down, he was a little afraid and somewhat reluctant to let Situ Xin’s family know that their relationship happened because he had been drugged, and Situ Xin had to be with him to administer the antidote. "Baby, whatever you say, I’ll support you."

"Mmm, I think it’s better not to tell my grandparents about this for now. You know I haven’t graduated from college yet. If my grandparents find out that you had relations with me before I graduated, do you think they’d let you off easily? I bet they would completely isolate us from each other." Situ Xin wasn’t exaggerating. Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were indeed capable of such actions, and they might even prohibit them from meeting before Situ Xin and Xiao Muli got married.

However, Situ Xin could never have imagined that her words, spoken in the present, would soon be completely disrupted.

After staying another night at the Xiao Family Old Mansion, Situ Xin returned to Capital City with Baibai. Xiao Muli really wanted to follow Situ Xin back to Capital City. He couldn’t get enough of her and wanted to stick by her side 24 hours a day. But with the incident that transpired, Xiao Muli had no choice but to stay behind at the Xiao Family Old Mansion to handle the situation.

This incident involved an underground organization from Hong Kong, making the matter rather complex. With his current power, Xiao Muli wasn’t strong enough to confront the Hong Kong underground organization, and they were deeply hidden besides. Except for the Xiao Family collateral branches’ involvement this time and the Qian Family, Xiao Muli hadn’t found out if there was any remaining influence on their side.

However, despite not finding more clues, Xiao Muli would not let those from the Qian Family who fell into his hands, especially Qian Duo, get away unscathed. And as for the Gu Family, Xiao Muli hadn’t had the chance to take action himself, as The Dark Division had already made their move. The Gu Family was truly, completely bankrupt now.

Gu Lili, captured by Xiao Muli’s men, had been tortured before Xiao Muli sent her back to the Gu Family. However, Gu Lili’s fate did not get any better upon her return; it went from bad to worse. In the end, Gu Lili disappeared completely.

As for where Gu Lili went, outsiders had no idea, but Xiao Muli and his people knew exactly.

When Situ Xin returned to her family home in Capital City from the Xiao Family Old Mansion, she had prepared a set of explanations. However, neither her grandfather Old Master Situ nor her maternal grandfather Old Master Loo asked her about what happened; they merely looked her over to see if she was injured.

They also told her not to disappear so quietly in the future; no matter what, she should at least inform them first to avoid worrying them.

Situ Xin breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and she nodded to her grandfather and maternal grandfather, promising that there wouldn’t be a next time.

The day after Situ Xin returned to Capital City, she went to The Dark Division. She needed to discuss the Hong Kong underground organization matter with Situ Muli and the others. By connecting the incident involving Xiao Family’s arms deal and Xiao Muli being drugged, Situ Xin felt that the Hong Kong underground organization’s ambitions were not to be underestimated.

Situ Xin had an inkling that this Hong Kong underground organization wasn’t merely a simple underground entity. It might have intricate ties to other countries. Perhaps this organization’s movements had something to do with the roster she held.

Thus, Situ Xin needed to learn as much as possible about this organization quickly, understand their objectives, so she could figure out what to do next.

Situ Muli acted promptly, and before Situ Xin had to ask, Situ Muli presented her with all the information he had on the Hong Kong underground organization. In addition, he had printed out everything he remembered about the organization before breaking away from it.

Situ Xin received the information with a look of surprise towards Situ Muli.

Situ Muli felt a bit embarrassed under Situ Xin’s gaze. After pretending to cough, he said, "I can’t say I utterly despise this organization. But, I do ardently wish for its disappearance. Miss, you have no idea, several friends who came out of the orphanage with me died during the organization’s selection process. Moreover, I had to watch my friends die right before my eyes." A pain flickered in Situ Muli’s eyes as he recalled the memories of his friends from the orphanage struggling with death.

"I understand how you feel. Don’t worry. There will come a day when I will let you personally put an end to this organization," Situ Xin said, understanding Situ Muli’s emotions all too well, having had similar experiences herself in a past life.

After looking through all the material Situ Mili had investigated, Situ Xin sorted it out in her mind. Her intuition had been incredibly accurate. The information from Situ Muli as well as those materials showed that the Hong Kong underground organization indeed had connections with other countries. Not only that, they were also connected to several people on a list that had been under close surveillance lately.

After reviewing the data, Situ Xin hadn’t spoken for a while, deep in thought with her head bowed. Situ Muli, unable to see her face, did not know what she was thinking.

After a good while, Situ Xin finally raised her head, gathered up the materials on the table, and said to Situ Muli, "Regarding the matter of the Hong Kong underground organization, don’t act for now. Let me go back and study it thoroughly; once I have a plan, I’ll tell you." Situ Xin still felt that it wasn’t the right time to move against the Hong Kong underground organization.

"Yes, I understand," Situ Muli knew Situ Xin had her own considerations, and he trusted Situ Xin completely, not just in terms of her character, but also her abilities.
