Chapter 212: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (1)_1
Situ Che hung up the phone, and Old Deng, being advanced in age, had been on edge since the assassination attempt earlier. Now, relaxed in the car, he felt exhausted all over. He was just closing his eyes to rest.
Because Old Deng was resting, the other people in the car were also silent, fearing they might disturb his rest.
While Old Deng rested, Situ Xin took the opportunity to sort through the events that had unfolded at the airport in her mind.
Initially, Situ Xin had thought that the assassination incident at the airport had been orchestrated by Country Y. But after calming down and reflecting, she realized that it probably had nothing to do with Country Y.
It wasn’t that Country Y wouldn’t send someone to assassinate Old Deng, but they wouldn’t be so foolish as to attempt it on Xiangjiang soil. After all, if something were to happen to Old Deng in Xiangjiang, Country Y would be hard-pressed to escape blame.
Thinking this, the corners of Situ Xin’s mouth turned up slightly. If her guess was correct, someone would already be waiting for them at their lodging.
However, Situ Xin’s brows soon furrowed again. If the assassination attempt had not been carried out by Country Y, then the purpose of the mastermind behind it might be to drive a wedge between Country Y and Country H. Then, they could reap certain benefits amidst the chaos. And if she wasn’t mistaken, there were more than a few who would be waiting to profit from the strife. "It looks like this trip to Xiangjiang is going to be quite eventful," Situ Xin thought to herself.
Yet Situ Xin wasn’t troubled by the situation; she was actually quite excited. Despite her love for her current life, with the companionship and affection of her family, there was also an adventurous streak deep within her. Just as she felt an itch for action.
