The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

The supreme leader also knew that Situ Xin was someone who did what she said. Since Situ Xin had now, with him looking on, stated these words, she would see them through.

"Girl, it’s not that I don’t want to deal with the list. Every time I think of the names on the list, the cancerous tumors on our country, I can hardly sleep at night. However, most of the people on this list hold critical positions in the government. Not only that, too many people are involved, across too vast an area. If we take action now, it could lead to a temporary paralysis of our governmental machinery," the supreme leader sighed before continuing, "Ah, you know what it’s like for me, sitting in this position, how many people are eyeing it, ever vigilant, waiting for a chance to usurp me. It’s not that I fear being overthrown. What I truly fear is that these ambitious individuals will take this opportunity to infiltrate the center of our country’s political power. If that happens, the consequences are unimaginable to me."

Although he had reached the highest position of power, the supreme leader found himself restricted in his actions, unable to act freely as he had to think everything through carefully and comprehensively.

Situ Xin took the supreme leader’s words to heart. She could feel that when he spoke to her, he was being sincere, not offering platitudes or hollow words. Situ Xin was aware of the grave significance of the situation, but she had her own thoughts. "I think I understand what you mean. You’re not saying that you don’t want to deal with the people on the list. Rather, you feel that the time isn’t right yet, or perhaps, you currently lack the confidence to root out everyone on it. Right?"

After Situ Xin finished speaking, she looked unwaveringly at the supreme leader, who, under her direct gaze, nodded.

Seeing the supreme leader nod, Situ Xin continued, "Then let me tell you, I intend to deal with the people on this list. While I cannot touch those from Country Z and Country Y right now, I can’t let them have an easy time either. I will gradually eradicate their undercover influence in our Country H. You must know that if their foothold in our Country H is not addressed promptly, it could become a serious threat to us."

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, the supreme leader lapsed into his thoughts. He lowered his head for quite a while before finally looking up at Situ Xin and saying, "Girl, I won’t stop you in what you choose to do, and if you come across anything you can’t handle alone, you can come to me. I will support you with all my might." With these words, the supreme leader was signaling his stance. Although he would not directly involve himself in Situ Xin’s operation, he was willing to provide indirect assistance.

"Thank you," said Situ Xin. Feeling the conversation had reached its end, she stood up and bid farewell to the supreme leader.

After leaving the supreme leader, Situ Xin thought about her failure to visit Xiao Muli in the hospital today, so she instructed her driver to turn the car around and head to the hospital.

"Get out!" Situ Xin had barely reached the door to Xiao Muli’s ward when she heard his cold roar from inside.
