The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 78 - Saving People (3)_1

“Situ, what’s so urgent that you called us here?” Old Master Xiao was also anxious and was the first to ask upon seeing Old Master Situ.

“It can’t be explained clearly over the phone.

Come with me,” said Old Master Situ, leading everyone to the living room downstairs and playing the mysterious tape once again.

“What is this?” After listening to the tape, everyone’s expressions turned grave.

“Situ, where did you get this tape from?

Can it be trusted?” These past few years, because their enemies had remained inactive, they had no longer received the notes left by Situ Xin’s master, but Old Master Situ and the others recognized the origin of the tape and knew its content at first sight.

However, Old Master Xiao and his son did not know.

“It was left by Xiao Xin’s master.

I estimate that only Xiao Xin’s master has the ability to place this tape on my desk without anyone noticing,” said Old Master Situ.

After his explanation, Old Master Loo recounted events from four years ago to Old Master Xiao, alleviating his skepticism.

Both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had always wanted to meet Situ Xin’s master, but each encounter was elusive.

Over time, they grew accustomed to Situ Xin’s master’s mysterious ways.

“Oh, right, along with the tape, Xiao Xin’s master also left gifts for your family.” As he spoke, Old Master Situ opened a drawer under his desk and took out two small porcelain bottles, which Old Master Loo recognized at a glance as containers Situ Xin’s master had always used to hold elixirs.

“For us?

What is it?” Old Master Xiao was surprised to receive gifts and took the two small porcelain bottles from Old Master Situ’s hands, opened them, and a fragrant medicinal scent wafted out.

This was the previous night, after Situ Xin had placed the tape on Old Master Situ’s desk and returned to her office, her mind was filled with Cai Meijuan’s words about their upcoming action.

She was not at ease and thought about how, despite Xiao Guobing training with the old comrades of the Situ Family over the years, because of the impurities that had accumulated in his body over so many years and his already fully formed bones, the effectiveness was significantly reduced.

Situ Xin also remembered that the Xiao Family had waded into this mess because they were helping her family, so after some thought, she decided to give them a few Marrow Cleansing Pills and Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills.

“It’s elixir.

This bottle contains the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the other, the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill,” Old Master Situ explained the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill to Old Master Xiao and also described the reactions after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Old Master Loo, seeing the looks of disbelief on the faces of the Xiao father and son, said with a laugh, “Old Xiao, don’t be incredulous, just look at the physical condition of Situ and me over these past two years, and you’ll see the effect of these elixirs.”

“Indeed, Old Xiao, Xiao Xin’s master said these elixirs are to repay you for your family’s unconditional support over the years,” Old Master Situ said, his expression much brighter.

“Hmm, I will try them when I get back,” Old Master Xiao was enticed by what Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo said.

“Go ahead and try, but just remember, one only needs to take one Marrow Cleansing Pill,” Old Master Situ advised.

“All right, let’s get back to the main topic.”

“Yes, listening to the conversations on the tape, it seems that the other party is going to make a move.

Sigh.

We’ve been investigating for so long, and we still haven’t figured out who exactly is the mastermind behind this,” said Old Master Situ with concern.

Without uncovering the person behind the scenes, they couldn’t rest easy.

“It should have been easy to investigate, given that there are so few people at the center and with our level of authority,” said Old Master Loo, frowning deeply.

“The person is hiding too deeply.

Besides, since Yaxin has people with her, I suppose our family members also have their people around them, so when you go back, talk to your families and ask them to be a bit more cautious about their surroundings and not to scare the snake by hitting the grass,” instructed Old Master Situ.

“Right, about their actions, I always feel that they might target Haoran, Haotian, and Guobing,” Old Master Loo analyzed the past events and said.

“I think it makes sense, too.

Have you three been assigned any recent tasks?

Or has something happened in your team?” Old Master Xiao also agreed with Old Master Loo’s reasoning.

To attack their three families, one must strike at those in power; only by taking down these central figures, would their families be reduced to mere shells.

“Just yesterday I heard of a drug enforcement task, but the specifics haven’t been outlined yet,” said Situ Haoran, and the three old masters quickly exchanged glances.

They all had the same thought—it was too coincidental.

The task was assigned yesterday and the tape mentioned making a move.

If everyone knew that the conversations on the tape happened last night, their expressions would probably be even more interesting.

“You three be careful, I suspect their mentioned action is probably this drug enforcement task,” Old Master Xiao said, taking cues from the other two old masters.

“But we’ve only heard that there is such a task.

Who is actually leading the team and which team is taking charge hasn’t been decided yet,” Xiao Guobing said, still finding it hard to believe in such coincidences.

“Is that so?

We’ll only know after the task is assigned.

If it really falls to your team, then you must be careful.

They might very well strike during the mission,” Old Master Situ’s words reminded Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian of the military exercises incident, and they knew to take heed.
