The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 74 - Cai Meijuan (3)_1

She had to start preparing too.

The enemies who had been lurking for so many years were making their move, and she had to give her family something extra to play with.

Upon entering the space, she went straight to the laboratory, intending to use the next few days to manufacture the most advanced firearms from her previous life.

She planned to give them to her father and uncle for self-defense.

Thinking of her father and uncle, Situ Xin decided to take the opportunity to assess their current strength in the following days.

If possible, she would find some elixir to help them break through, so they would stand a greater chance of winning in case of a confrontation.

She also resolved to quickly find a way to cultivate her own power base.

The next day, everyone in the family went about their usual routines, going to school or work.

After finishing his morning exercise, Old Master Situ returned home and entered his study.

He picked a book from the bookshelf, planning to spend the morning with it.

“What’s this?” Old Master Situ just placed the book on his desk when he saw the tape Situ Xin had left the night before.

“A tape?” he turned it over in his hands, puzzled about how such an item could appear in his study.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Old Master Situ took the tape and left the study.

“Old Madam, where is the tape recorder in the house?” Since Old Master Situ rarely used a tape recorder, he didn’t have one in his study.

“In the living room, over there.” Old Madam Situ, seeing Old Master Situ’s hasty demeanor, found it quite strange.

She stopped what she was doing and followed him to the living room.

“Say, Old Master, what’s gotten into you today?

Why the sudden need for a tape recorder?

I remember you never use that thing.”

As Old Madam Situ kept talking all the way to the living room, Old Master Situ had already inserted the tape into the recorder and pressed the play button.

“Eh, Old Master,” Old Madam began, intending to ask when he had learned to operate the recorder, but before she could finish her question, Old Master Situ shushed her.

“Shh, don’t talk for a moment.” Then they heard the conversations from last night that Situ Xin had overheard playing from the tape recorder.

Old Master Situ’s frown deepened with each passing moment, while Old Madam was so shocked she simply froze in place.

Though Old Madam had experienced war in her youth, the comfortable life she had lived for years had gradually made her forget what living through war was like.

Now, as an old lady enjoying her retirement, she was taken aback by the news that someone was targeting her family members.

“Old Master, what is this?

What’s going on?” Old Madam couldn’t help herself after the tape had finished playing.

“Ah, Old Madam, it’s a long story.

Anyway, someone has always wanted to target both the Situ and Loo families, now it seems to be the Xiao Family.

The boys didn’t want you to worry, so they’ve kept it from you,” Old Master Situ sighed as he looked at his life partner.

“Why target our three families?

Who is behind this?” Old Madam was no longer calm.

Old Master Situ responded helplessly, “Perhaps the power we hold in our hands now has somehow affected them.

As for who it is?

We’re still not sure.” He thought to himself that if they knew, how could they let that person still exist in this world?

In general, the men of the Situ family were not known for their kindness or leniency.

If provoked, they certainly wouldn’t let the offender off easily.

“My dear, don’t worry about this.

Rest assured, with the boys’ current capabilities, our Situ family won’t have any problems,” Old Master Situ reassured her.

But after he finished speaking, seeing Old Madam’s worry, he knew that more words were futile now; she needed time to process the information.

“Rest here for a while; I have to make a trip back for Haoran and Haotian.”

With that, Old Master Situ went upstairs to call Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian.

After making the calls, Old Master Situ was still not at ease.

He called Loo Yaxin and asked her to take a leave of absence and come home, mentioning that there was a situation at home.

When Loo Yaxin received a call from her father-in-law, she knew that if it wasn’t something serious, he wouldn’t personally call to ask her to take a day off.

Hence, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and rushed out, just in time to bump into Cai Meijuan, who didn’t get along with her.

“Yo, Director Loo is in such a hurry, where are you off to?”

“I don’t have time to chat with you today, Xiao Liu.

Something came up, and I need to take the day off.

If there’s anything that needs my attention, have them wait until tomorrow,” Loo Yaxin advised her assistant, Xiao Liu, and without giving Cai Meijuan a second glance, took her bag and left.

Situ Xin was restless in kindergarten, preoccupied with the tape, wondering if her grandfather had seen it and, if so, how they were planning to deal with it.

When Loo Yaxin got home, it just so happened that Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran were also rushing back.

Old Master Situ hadn’t specified over the phone why they needed to come; he only spoke with urgency.
