Chapter 93 Rescuing (1)_1
After returning to her room, Situ Xin didn’t go to sleep, instead reflecting upon the snippets of conversation she had overheard earlier that evening. Zhang Guozheng was a stranger to Old Master Situ and the others, but she was very familiar with him. In her previous life, there was a period when their organization had worked for him. By that time, Zhang Guozheng was no longer a mere political commissar; he had become a prominent figure on the political stage of Country H.
Situ Xin had thought about placing a listening device on Zhang Guozheng since she knew he was their man, but this idea flashed through her mind only briefly before she dismissed it. She knew where Zhang Guozheng had worked after his promotion, but she had no idea where he was currently employed.
Situ Xin felt as though she was consistently overlooking an important clue, a premonition that it was the key to unveiling the mastermind behind everything. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall what it was.
Although Old Master Situ and the others had grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of elixirs and such in the house, they were truly taken aback by the sight of those six guns, especially after reading the note left by Situ Xin, which made them believe in the vast supernatural powers of her master. Old Master Situ was well aware of the significance of these weapons.
It just so happened that Situ Haotian and the others had received their task notification yesterday and had decided to rest at home rather than return to the military base. So Old Master Situ, excited, called them all over.
When Situ Haotian, Situ Haoran, and Xiao Guobing took the guns from Old Master Situ and weighed them in their hands, they could tell right away how formidable these guns were, despite not having tested them. These men, accustomed to guns from a young age, could immediately recognize the guns’ potential. "Dad, where did you get these?" Situ Haotian asked in surprise.
"These were left behind by Baby’s master. Take these and take a look," Old Master Situ said as he handed them the paper which outlined the performance of the two guns.
Just as the three of them were slightly cheered due to the acquisition of advanced weaponry, Situ Haoran’s phone rang.
As Situ Haoran heard the ringtone, he wondered who would call him at such a time. But as soon as he answered with a "Hello," his complexion changed dramatically. Only when he replied, "Yes, I understand," did he hang up the phone.
"Haoran, who was that? What’s the matter?" Old Master Situ, seeing his eldest son’s expression, knew it wasn’t good news.
"I’ve received orders from above, telling Haotian and Guobing to return to the base immediately to prepare for deployment," Situ Haoran said with a stern face.
