Chapter 227: Strengthening Oneself (1)_1
After pondering for a moment, Situ Xin grit her teeth and said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, I understand everything you’ve said. But, you must also believe that your granddaughter, your maternal granddaughter, is capable of taking over The Dark Division." Situ Xin paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Grandpa, Grandfather, there’s something I have to tell you, please, prepare yourselves mentally for it." With that, Situ Xin blinked her large eyes, looking at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.
After exchanging glances, Old Master Loo tilted his head towards Situ Xin and said, "Go ahead." With Old Master Loo’s permission, Situ Xin said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, you must have heard of Dragon Society, right?" It was only when she mentioned Dragon Society that she remembered having Baibai send Situ Muli there. She had told Situ Muli she would visit him in Dragon Society the moment she returned to Capital City. But because of The Dark Division’s affairs, Situ Xin had completely forgotten about it. She thought to herself that after resolving this matter, she must make a trip to Dragon Society.
"Dragon Society?" Old Master Situ wondered. They were discussing The Dark Division, so why bring up Dragon Society? However, although he was puzzled, he followed Situ Xin’s line of thought and said, "I have indeed heard of Dragon Society. Not only have I heard of it, but we also specifically investigated Dragon Society."
"Yes, Dragon Society is the biggest gang in Capital City. Dragon Society began to flourish after the son of the former leader, Xia Yujie, took over following his father’s death. Gradually, it solidified its position as the lead gang in Capital City. Rumor has it that Xia Yujie’s ability to take over Dragon Society and its prosperity in Capital City, all come from the support of the mysterious Young Miss of the society. Aside from a few high-level members of Dragon Society, no one knows what she looks like, only that she’s young and a woman. The government even sent people to investigate, but came up empty-handed," Old Master Loo said with a hint of curiosity as he spoke of Dragon Society’s Young Miss.
Seeing her grandfather’s curiosity about the Young Miss of Dragon Society, Situ Xin wickedly thought, "I wonder what expression Grandfather would make if he knew that I am that Young Miss."
"In recent years, the growth of Dragon Society has caught the attention of the government. The government, worried that Dragon Society might interfere with their governance, sent spies into the industries under Dragon Society’s name. The intention was for the spies to find some illegal activities to use as a pretext to crack down on Dragon Society. Unexpectedly, despite being known as a gang, none of Dragon Society’s businesses were involved in any illegal activities; the spies had been undercover for so long yet hadn’t found a single illegal operation."
Upon hearing that, Situ Xin thought to herself, of course, who else is behind the scenes offering strategies? She knew that prominence brings scrutiny, so when Xia Yujie first took over Dragon Society, Situ Xin had given him a precautionary warning. Though she didn’t spell things out, Xia Yujie was smart enough to take her advice to heart, and, indeed, he conducted affairs in a way that left Situ Xin quite satisfied.
