The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Now that their leader had been captured, those underlings posed little threat, especially since they were mere hoodlums. Situ Haoran and his team easily took down the entire drug den. The bombs Situ Xin had left before were not even put to use.

As Situ Xin went to retrieve the bombs, she expressed her regret saying, "Ah, I thought I’d get to test out these new bombs I’d developed. It’s such a letdown, getting all excited for nothing." If anyone else heard what Situ Xin said, they wouldn’t know what face to make.

With the drug nest cleaned out and the drug lord in custody, Situ Haoran and his team’s mission was officially complete. That afternoon, they escorted Boss Sheng and five ninjas onto a plane back to Capital City.

When Zhang Guozheng and Chen Xingbang in Capital City heard this news, both in their offices, they instinctively did the same thing: they fell into their chairs. The same thought crossed their minds, "I’m finished this time."

Zhang Guozheng, after all, was more meticulous than Chen Xingbang. He quickly regained his composure, took out a black clunky mobile phone with trembling hands, and dialed a number. "Hello, Ota-kun, didn’t you say yesterday that you would take care of it? How come Situ Haoran and his team could still escort Boss Sheng back to Capital City today?" Now, Zhang Guozheng’s tone was not as respectful as it had been the day before. At this time, what did he care about demeanor? He wanted to clarify exactly what had happened and was worried about his future prospects.

"Guozheng, are you serious? I dispatched our ninjas in Country H just yesterday. Hold on, I’ll contact those ninjas and see what’s going on," came the reply in the slightly awkward language of Country H over the phone.

As for this Ota-kun, he had too much confidence in the ninjas of Country R, so much that after assigning them their tasks yesterday, he went to bed without worrying, nor did he bother to contact them again.

After hanging up the phone and attempting to contact the ninjas, he found there was no response at all. It was only then that he started to panic, realizing the gravity of the situation. He didn’t call Zhang Guozheng back but instead reported directly to his superior.

Zhang Guozheng was already considered expendable to them. They had thought distancing themselves from Zhang Guozheng and even Country H’s officials would be the end of it. But what they didn’t realize was that more troubles were waiting for them down the line.

Situ Xin was not the type to suffer in silence when wronged. She struck back hard when attacked. And this time, Country R had dared to reach out to her family. Family was her Achilles’ heel, so Situ Xin, gazing at the endless blue sky from the airplane, said, "Country H, brace yourself for my move."
