Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Rushing to the Scene (2)_1

"Indeed, Xiao Xin is a lucky one," Old Master Xiao also murmured softly.

Inside the space, Situ Xin followed behind Situ Haoran onto the military aircraft. However, because of Situ Xin, Situ Haoran’s mind wasn’t focused at first, and sometimes it took several calls from his subordinates before he came to his senses.

It was only when they began discussing the main target of this mission that he concentrated his attention. And for Situ Xin, this was the first time she heard about the drug lord they were planning to encircle. Moreover, the information had come before the incidents involving Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing. Luckily, they were wary and, while sending the data to their superiors, also forwarded a copy to Situ Haoran. Otherwise, he really would have been in the dark, having to grope around without any knowledge.

The drug trafficking gang was located at the border between Country H and Country Y, with members from both countries, but the drug lord was from Country H. And this drug lord was not a simple one. Everyone usually referred to him as Boss Sheng, and he wasn’t just a drug lord. He was also the de facto king of the underworld in City N of Country H, which is the city nearest to Country Y. Thanks to drug trafficking, Boss Sheng had amassed substantial funds, and through smuggling, he purchased a lot of arms, thus boosting his own power. He was also very generous to his subordinates, and within a short period, he gathered numerous followers and dominated City N. Even many government officials from the city had to step aside when they saw him.

The drug gang’s hideout was located at the junction between Country H and Country Y, but most of it was still on the territory of Country H. It’s unknown why the drug lord decided to set up the base among mountain forests. However, according to the information sent back by Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing, the terrain around the drug den was extremely harsh. It was clearly implied that it would be difficult to attack.

Although Situ Xin had already instructed him not to act upon reaching their destination and to wait for her signal, he planned to follow her advice. He was concerned that if he didn’t listen to Situ Xin and acted on his own, it could disrupt her plan and put her in danger, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

But he still had to put on an act, at the very least to deceive the spies sent by his superiors.

After hearing so much, Situ Xin felt she had a rough understanding and knew that this drug lord was not simple. But no matter how complicated it was, she, Situ Xin, still had to take the challenge. Moreover, she had to wipe out the drug den in one fell swoop. She couldn’t let anyone grasp any leverage over her father, her uncle, or Uncle Xiao.

Because she had already seen clearly, if the three of them failed to take down the drug den this time, even if they returned safely, they would be hounded by the authorities with all sorts of excuses and at the very least face punishment. This was not what she wanted to see. She didn’t want her family, who risked their lives on the outside, to end up with such fate.

And Situ Xin began to understand a little why in a previous life, the Situ Family, the Loo Family, and even the Xiao Family all vanished without a trace from history.

The plane landed safely at the airport of City N, where officials from City N, having received notice from their superiors, were already waiting at the airport.

Situ Xin was annoyed by these formalities, so, upon disembarking from the military aircraft, she let go of Situ Haoran’s clothes. While everyone was getting off the plane and their attention was on Situ Haoran and the others, and no one was paying attention to the plane, she teleported out of the space and in a blink, she was at a distance far from Situ Haoran and the others.

Knowing that Situ Haoran would be worried about her, the moment she left, she spoke into her wireless earpiece, "Uncle, I’ve already left. Let’s proceed with the plan."

When Situ Haoran heard the voice through the earpiece, he instinctively looked around but couldn’t spot Situ Xin anywhere. His heart began to rise.

After surveying her surroundings, Situ Xin took a military map out of her bag, clearly the one Situ Haoran had just used, which she had casually snatched earlier. Because her current cultivation level didn’t allow her to teleport such long distances at once, she had to follow the markings on the map bit by bit.

On her way to the drug den, Situ Xin hastened by using teleportation. To avoid detection, she had to be very careful, finding secluded corners that no one noticed. Sometimes, she had no choice but to find a women’s restroom, pretend to use the bathroom, and teleport directly from there.

On Situ Haoran’s side, since he hadn’t taken any action, one of his subordinates became anxious. "Commander, why haven’t we taken any action yet?"

Situ Haoran turned to glance at the man and replied, "No rush." He had already figured out that this person was probably the spy his superiors had planted by his side. He never would have thought that this normally honest-looking subordinate would do something so treacherous.

The subordinate, noting Situ Haoran’s relaxed demeanor, remembered the instructions from above; sweat beaded on his forehead as he grew panicked. If he didn’t complete the mission, he would be in trouble upon his return. "Commander, didn’t the higher-ups order us to act immediately upon arrival?"

"Oh? Did they? I don’t remember any such orders from the higher-ups." Among these people, only he could communicate with those at the top. The others weren’t of a high enough level. "Where did you hear that the higher-ups ordered this?" Situ Haoran asked, unhurriedly.

After Situ Haoran finished, he looked at the anxious man wiping his sweat. He hadn’t expected that following Situ Xin’s advice would lead him to identify the spy among them so easily. "I know who you’re working for. I’m warning you, you better watch yourself. Otherwise, hmph," Situ Haoran leaned close to the man and whispered so that only the two of them could hear. His eyes flashed with a murderous intent as he uttered the last words.

The man was stunned; he never imagined that Situ Haoran would know about the spy the superiors had placed by his side, let alone that he would be exposed so quickly. And he saw the murderous intent in Situ Haoran’s eyes. A cold sensation spread from the soles of his feet to his heart.
