Chapter 424 Difficulties Galore (3)_1
However, this earned Old Master Loo a scolding, "You brat, when did you become so slippery? My hand hasn’t even touched your little bum, and you’re already crying out in pain." Old Master Loo’s words prompted a hearty laugh from everyone.
Situ Xin looked at her joyous family, feeling especially content. She thought that perhaps her rebirth was meant to make up for the lack of kinship in her previous life.
"Ah Che, Ah Jie, how did it go with the new team leader on this mission?" After the two families had a lovely meal together.
Everyone moved to the sofas to chat and drink tea, to catch up and bond. No sooner had they sat down than Old Master Situ couldn’t help but be the first to broach the subject.
Situ Che and Loo Jie exchanged glances, not sure what Old Master Situ meant. "The new team leader seems quite rigid. Like in this mission, he only knew defense, but not offense. If Baby hadn’t shown up later, I think our mission would have definitely failed. Grandpa, what’s up? Why suddenly ask about this?"
Old Master Situ did not immediately answer Situ Che’s question, instead exchanging glances with Old Master Loo and Old Deng. Situ Xin leaned back on the couch, resting without speaking. She knew why her grandpa had brought it up.
The elders did not clear up the confusion for Situ Che and Loo Jie. But just then, Situ Haoran, who was at home, spoke, "Dad, are you asking because that new team leader of Ah Che and Ah Jie’s has been dismissed?"
"Yes, we just received the news today. It’s strange because, normally, since Ah Jie and Ah Che completed their mission successfully, the team leader would certainly be commended. However, to our surprise, he was dismissed. And the higher-ups haven’t explained why. So I thought I’d ask Ah Che and Ah Jie," Old Master Situ said as he thought about the situation while responding to Situ Haoran.
Upon hearing Old Master Situ’s words, Situ Che and Loo Jie showed surprised expressions. "Grandpa Situ, Grandpa Loo, Grandpa Deng, is this information reliable?" Loo Jie and Situ Che, who had been resting at home for a few days, knew nothing about this.
Loo Jie’s question was met with a roll of Old Master Loo’s eyes. "You kid, what kind of question is that? If this information weren’t reliable, would we be here discussing it so seriously? It seems a few days without training, and you start itching for trouble. You even dared to doubt us old folks."
Situ Che furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before speaking, "Grandpa, Old Master Loo, Grandpa Deng, besides our new team leader being dismissed, are there any other personnel changes?" Situ Che tended to think more meticulously than Loo Jie.
