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.
