The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 93 Rescuing (1)_1

After returning to her room, Situ Xin didn’t go to sleep, instead reflecting upon the snippets of conversation she had overheard earlier that evening. Zhang Guozheng was a stranger to Old Master Situ and the others, but she was very familiar with him. In her previous life, there was a period when their organization had worked for him. By that time, Zhang Guozheng was no longer a mere political commissar; he had become a prominent figure on the political stage of Country H.

Situ Xin had thought about placing a listening device on Zhang Guozheng since she knew he was their man, but this idea flashed through her mind only briefly before she dismissed it. She knew where Zhang Guozheng had worked after his promotion, but she had no idea where he was currently employed.

Situ Xin felt as though she was consistently overlooking an important clue, a premonition that it was the key to unveiling the mastermind behind everything. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall what it was.

Although Old Master Situ and the others had grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of elixirs and such in the house, they were truly taken aback by the sight of those six guns, especially after reading the note left by Situ Xin, which made them believe in the vast supernatural powers of her master. Old Master Situ was well aware of the significance of these weapons.

It just so happened that Situ Haotian and the others had received their task notification yesterday and had decided to rest at home rather than return to the military base. So Old Master Situ, excited, called them all over.

When Situ Haotian, Situ Haoran, and Xiao Guobing took the guns from Old Master Situ and weighed them in their hands, they could tell right away how formidable these guns were, despite not having tested them. These men, accustomed to guns from a young age, could immediately recognize the guns’ potential. "Dad, where did you get these?" Situ Haotian asked in surprise.

"These were left behind by Baby’s master. Take these and take a look," Old Master Situ said as he handed them the paper which outlined the performance of the two guns.

Just as the three of them were slightly cheered due to the acquisition of advanced weaponry, Situ Haoran’s phone rang.

As Situ Haoran heard the ringtone, he wondered who would call him at such a time. But as soon as he answered with a "Hello," his complexion changed dramatically. Only when he replied, "Yes, I understand," did he hang up the phone.

"Haoran, who was that? What’s the matter?" Old Master Situ, seeing his eldest son’s expression, knew it wasn’t good news.

"I’ve received orders from above, telling Haotian and Guobing to return to the base immediately to prepare for deployment," Situ Haoran said with a stern face.

"Damn it," Old Master Situ cursed as he threw a pen off the table, exclaiming, "This is too much."

Normally, after receiving such a notice, if the task wasn’t urgent, they would be given some time to prepare. Old Master Situ and the others had planned to use this time to thoroughly analyze the situation and go over the safety precautions. But unexpectedly, they weren’t even afforded this small window.

"Dad, don’t get angry. We both know what to do. We’ll be extra careful," Situ Haotian said, trying to comfort his father while suppressing his own anger.

"Yeah, Uncle Situ, we’ll be especially vigilant. You can rest assured. We should leave now," Xiao Guobing added. Military orders could not be defied, no matter how reluctant they were, so they needed to hurry back.

As Situ Xin was unsure when her father and Uncle Xiao would depart, she found an excuse not to go to kindergarten that morning. While eating breakfast downstairs, she saw her father, her uncle, and Uncle Xiao, each with tense expressions, swiftly descending the stairs.

"Hey, what’s the rush? You haven’t even had breakfast," Old Madam Situ exclaimed as she watched her son and the others head towards the door.

"Mom, there’s an emergency at the base, we’re heading back now," replied Situ Haotian, opting not to inform Old Madam Situ that they had a mission that day; he didn’t want her to worry.

Hearing this, Situ Xin’s heart skipped a beat, suspecting her father wasn’t simply returning to the base for something simple—it seemed like a mission was underway. Without revealing her alarm, she extended a sliver of her Divine Sense onto Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing, enabling her to know immediately if they encountered any danger, and to locate them using the Divine Sense she had left on them. frёeωebɳovel.com

To be honest, Situ Xin was worried, but not as much as Old Master Situ and the others because she was aware of the formidable power of the offensive Talismans that Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing had with them.

After Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing departed for their mission, the atmosphere at home became palpably more somber. The three older masters would meet punctually every day at Situ Xin’s house, sit in the downstairs living room without engaging in any activities, and wait for phone calls.

Loo Yaxin, Situ Xin’s mother, also looked visibly worn over the past few days. If not for the water they drank and the fruits and vegetables they ate coming from Situ Xin’s space, Loo Yaxin’s condition would have been more than just haggard. Upon seeing her mother in this state, Situ Xin knew that Xiao Muli’s mother must not be faring any better.

When she asked Xiao Muli, it turned out to indeed be the case; his mother, Liu Yun, was genuinely not feeling well lately. Situ Xin quickly gave Xiao Muli several elixirs and a bottle of Spiritual Spring, and told him to have his mother come over to Situ House whenever she had the chance.

On the third day after Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing left for their mission, Situ Xin faintly felt the signs of a breakthrough. That evening, as soon as she teleported into her space, she felt Spiritual Energy madly rushing towards her.

She didn’t dare to take this lightly and promptly sat down cross-legged, slowly assimilating the Spiritual Power flooding into her body, making it her own. However, unbeknownst to her, her body was enveloped by the Spiritual Energy, and any slight mistake could cause all of it to enter her body at once, potentially overloading her body with Spiritual Energy and leading to her sudden death.
