Chapter 648: Underground Kingdom (1)_1
Xiao Muli had planned to deal with the situation himself after being discharged from the hospital. Coincidentally, just as he was discharged, a phone call came in from the other side.
"Grandpa, there’s a bit of a problem with the arms, I need to rush over to handle it," Xiao Muli said to his grandfather after getting the phone call. He kept no secrets from Old Master Xiao regarding the Xiao Family’s affairs, always discussing everything with him. Sometimes, his grandfather even gave him some very useful advice.
"What happened? Is there a problem with the arms? Is it serious? Should I come with you?" Ever since Xiao Muli had been seriously injured by a gunshot, narrowly escaping death, Old Master Xiao had been very concerned about his grandson’s personal safety. Now, hearing that there was a problem with the arms, he immediately asked to go along.
"I don’t know the specifics yet. I’ll only find out once I’m there," Xiao Muli glanced at his grandfather and continued, "Grandpa, are you sure your identity would allow you to appear with me at that kind of scene?"
This counter-question stumped Old Master Xiao. He had been so anxious that he had forgotten about his own identity. He was the Leader of Country H, after all. If the other party recognized him, that would be troublesome. It wasn’t just troublesome for him, but for Xiao Muli and the entire Xiao Family too.
"Then you be careful. If anything happens, call me straight away," Old Master Xiao may have dropped the idea of accompanying Xiao Muli, but he was still very worried.
"I will, Grandpa. I’m leaving now," Xiao Muli said goodbye to Old Master Xiao and then drove out of the courtyard in his own car.
On the road, Xiao Muli thought it over and still decided to call Situ Xin. When the call connected, Situ Xin had just reached her room. She had just returned from the hospital and had not even sat down when the Old Madam and others were fussing over her, urging Situ Xin to rest in her room.
They were worried Situ Xin had not fully recovered. Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of her grandmother, her maternal grandmother, and her mother, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Did she look that weak? She had only suffered a minor illness. Was there really a need for such a fuss? Besides, she had been staying in the hospital for so many days, any weakness would surely have been remedied by now.
Under normal circumstances, Situ Xin would definitely not have obediently listened to her grandmother and others telling her to rest in her room. She had enough rest these past few days to last a lifetime. But today, her mood was different. Actually, there was something on her mind.
