Chapter 167: As the Water Recedes, the Rocks Emerge (1)_1
On the ride back home, Old Master Situ shared a car with Situ Xin. After getting into the car, Old Master Situ asked Situ Xin, "Baby, what you said earlier, do you still have evidence of the things the Jia Family did behind the scenes?"
After thinking for a moment, Situ Xin answered, "Yes, those were given to me by my master. He said that if the Jia Family goes too far, to bring out this evidence." In truth, the real Situ Xin hadn’t handed over the evidence to Old Master Situ because she had seen that despite not getting along with Old Master Jia and Old Master Jia scheming against the Situ Family this time, Old Master Situ still did not have the intention to utterly destroy the Jia Family.
Situ Xin also understood that Old Master Situ was holding onto old affections, otherwise he wouldn’t have let Old Master Jia target their Situ Family like this. And Situ Xin wouldn’t have refrained from cutting the weeds and digging up the roots this time, because according to her usual style of doing things, she would have definitely wiped out the Jia Family.
Of course, sparing the Jia Family this time was partly due to her grandfather, Old Master Situ’s reason, but also, after her investigation, though Old Master Jia sometimes targeted their Situ Family and this time was rather excessive, the other occasions counted as minor skirmishes. Most importantly, the Jia Family had no connections with several external powers. Situ Xin knew that if they pulled the Jia Family down now, in the best-case scenario, they could arrange for a clean and reputable family to take their place. If it turned out worse, those who might replace the Jia Family could be individuals tied to a certain country.
This was something Situ Xin least wanted to see. So, it could be said that the Jia Family was quite fortunate.
"Then when you return, bring that document to me," Old Master Situ said after a moment of silence, upon hearing Situ Xin’s words.
"Alright, Grandpa," Situ Xin agreed.
No sooner had Situ Xin and the rest arrived home than the family’s phone rang. Old Master Situ answered the call; it was Old Deng calling. Ever since Situ Xin cured Old Deng’s illness and he recognized her as his goddaughter, Old Deng made calls to the Situ Family from time to time.
Just now, Old Deng had returned from an inspection trip, as Xiangjiang was about to be returned to the country soon, and there was an increase in affairs to attend to outside. Being a primary leader, Old Deng became busier.
