The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 53 - Solution (2)_1

Situ Xin initially listened in, but they hadn’t managed to come up with a clear plan by dinner time.

As they continued the discussion after the meal, it was Situ Xin’s bedtime, so she didn’t hear the specific solutions they later on came up with.

However, the brothers Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian left home the next day to return to the military base.

They originally planned to meet with the troops three days before the military exercise, but due to the incident, they had to return earlier to replan.

Originally, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were greatly encouraged by the substantial progress Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian had made in just a few days of training, boosting their confidence in the upcoming military exercise.

However, they had not anticipated the enemy’s influence reaching so close to them, which caused their brows to be furrowed with concern over the past few days.

Only when they encountered Situ Xin would they put on a smile.

Situ Xin also noticed the progress her father and uncle had made during this time.

Honestly, she was quite surprised by the strength they displayed after their training; their abilities had enhanced two-fold in just a few days.

Watching them, Situ Xin often marveled at their martial arts talent, forgetting that she herself possessed even higher talent.

The reason Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian were able to improve so swiftly was largely due to Xu Yuwei’s significant role.

The elixirs before their martial arts training, and the specially prepared drinking water she provided daily—from the Spiritual Spring—and the Spiritual Medicines Situ Xin found that were tasteless and colorless greatly helped regulate their bodies.

Once the brothers returned to their unit, they didn’t reveal the spy’s presence, as they lacked sufficient evidence to prove Xiao Qinfeng was the culprit.

To avoid alarming the spy, they chose to pretend ignorance for the time being.

But privately, they gathered trusted subordinates and discussed new strategies overnight.

Naturally, there were questions about why the already established routes were suddenly changing.

But because these were comrades they had spent many years with, they knew their superiors were not the type to joke about such matters.

Believing there must be a good reason, they were ready to follow Situ Haoran’s lead, despite their questions.

On the day of the military exercise, the atmosphere in both the Situ and Loo families was incredibly tense.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were already seated on the living room sofa, and even Loo Jianguo, usually too busy to be seen, sat quietly alongside them.

The three of them didn’t speak, just silently held their cups of tea, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo were busy in the kitchen, concerned for Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian but not as tense as the two older men.

They knew the military exercise was important but were unaware of the dangers involved.

Situ Xin watched the three men seated silently on the sofa, knowing they were waiting for a phone call.

Any news from the exercise would come through the phone, so they had to stay close to it.

Situ Xin sat on the carpet, toying with a plaything in her hand.

In reality, she was tracking the movements of Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian through a tracker.

Due to her unfamiliarity with their marching route and the exercise area, she couldn’t pinpoint their exact location but knew they were out of danger.

This knowledge alone greatly satisfied her.

The military exercise took place in an area similar to a primeval forest.

However, unlike a true primeval forest, with its dangerous wild animals, their exercise zone was bereft of such threats.

It was an exercise to test the army’s strength, not a life-threatening venture.

Hence, while the soldiers carried real guns, the bullets inside were blanks.

Yet, the high-ranking officials who chose this location for the exercise could not have predicted that it would turn into an ideal setting for those with malicious intent.

As the exercise commenced, Situ Haoran was in command at headquarters, while Situ Haotian entered the forest with his troops.

Xiao Qinfeng, who was not originally under Situ Haotian’s command, was now placed under his jurisdiction.

This too was a move devised by the brothers—rather than letting Xiao inform others from elsewhere, it was better to keep him under strict supervision.

Since Situ Haoran’s side was off-limits, Xiao had no choice but to stick with Situ Haotian.

The exercise went very smoothly thanks to Situ Haoran’s precise command and Situ Haotian’s increased strength.

Victory appeared imminent.

However, Xiao Qinfeng was inwardly panicking.

When he realized the marching route had changed from the one he had been given, his heart sank with a thud.

He thought, “It’s over—have I been discovered?” Intelligent as he was, Xiao put together the fact that he’d been assigned to Situ Haotian’s unit and sensed that his secrets might have been uncovered.

Yet, he couldn’t figure out where he had slipped.
