Chapter 446 Xiao Family’s Ambition is Too Big (2)_1
Because right now, nobody from Old Master Xiao’s side dares to make a move, all because of the critical figure that is Situ Xin. From this incident with the Xiao Family and Xiao Yanlei, everyone has become aware of Situ Xin’s capability. They are frightened that if they take any action and manage to release Xiao Yanlei from the Disciplinary Committee, it would anger Situ Xin, who might then turn his spearhead towards them.
So, after discussing it, they unanimously decided to have Old Master Xiao visit the Situ Family and meet with Old Master Situ. Old Master Xiao and Old Master Situ were once comrades-in-arms, their relationship used to be quite good.
However, later on, Old Master Xiao, as the Xiao Family’s ambitions grew too large, and Old Master Situ, stubborn as he was, flatly refused when propositioned by Old Master Xiao to join their side. He sternly declared his position. After that, Old Master Xiao came to view the Situ Family, Old Master Situ in particular, as an obstacle to the Xiao Family’s rise to power.
It was apparent that the people from Old Master Xiao’s side had been so thrown off by Situ Xin and the affairs of the Xiao Family that they lost their ability to think clearly. They were fixated on the direct relationship between Old Master Xiao and Old Master Situ from who knows when, completely forgetting how the Xiao Family and Old Master Xiao had dealt with the Situ Family in the past.
Not long before this incident, they were even plotting for Situ Che of the Situ Family and Loo Jie of the Loo Family to embark on a mission from which they would not return.
The shrewd Old Master Xiao, for some unknown reason, held onto a hope that Old Master Situ, being softhearted, would spare the daughter and grandson of the Xiao Family because of their past camaraderie.
In any event, upon everyone’s suggestion, Old Master Xiao went to the Situ Family with his bodyguards.
When Old Master Situ received notification from his bodyguard that Chief Xiao was coming, he was taken aback for a moment, thinking there was something wrong with his ears, and asked again, "What did you say?"
"Chief Xiao has come to visit you," the bodyguard thought Old Master Situ hadn’t heard clearly and repeated himself. Meanwhile, Situ Xin, who had been dragged by Old Master Situ to keep him company in a game of chess, raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news. She speculated whether Old Master Xiao’s visit had anything to do with the recent affairs of the Xiao Family.
