75: Chapter 75 Before the Incident_1 75: Chapter 75 Before the Incident_1 So when Situ Haotian saw his wife, who was supposed to be at work, appear at ho, he asked in surprise, “Yaxin, why are you back?”
“Dad called to co back,” Loo Yaxin replied.
“You’re all back now.
Please, take a seat,” Old Master Situ said as he saw that everyone had arrived and gestured for them to sit down.
Then he walked over to the tape recorder and pressed the play button.
Initially, Loo Yaxin and the others were puzzled; had their father asked them to co back just to listen to a tape recorder?
But as soon as they heard the voice coming from it, their expressions changed, especially Loo Yaxin, whose face turned pale instantly.
After the tape finished playing, Loo Yaxin pointed at the tape recorder and said, “This, this is Cai ijuan from my workplace.” She recognized the voice from the start.
“She’s actually been sent by the opposite side,” Loo Yaxin knew sowhat about the targeting of their two families.
“What are your thoughts after listening to this tape?” Old Master Situ asked with a stern face, turning to Situ Haotian and his brother Situ Haoran.
“This indicates that even the people around us—our family mbers—could be hiding their agents,” Situ Haoran said with an unchanged expression, as if not affected at all.
But internally, he felt quite restless.
“Also, our enemies have finally beco impatient and are going to start taking action,” Situ Haotian’s eyes flashed a ferocious hint.
He had been waiting for a long ti now.
Even though their assassination attempt failed during the military exercises, Situ Haotian would not show rcy to anyone who dared to attack him.
“Yes, Yaxin, don’t be nervous about this.
Your father called you back to let you know who around you is with the opposition.
Just be cautious when you return, and for now, do not alarm them,” Old Master Situ consoled Loo Yaxin.
“Dad, I know.
I will be careful.
Rest assured, I won’t hold the family back.” Loo Yaxin might seem like a delicate little woman who constantly needed care, but when facing major issues, she wouldn’t back down.
“Good, very good,” Old Master Situ was very satisfied with Loo Yaxin’s reaction.
“When Old Lu and Old Xiao arrive, you two co upstairs with so we can thoroughly discuss this matter.” Now that they knew the enemy was making a move, they too needed to start preparing.
Situ Xin was beginning to regret attending kindergarten.
Of all the children in the kindergarten, only the two little brats seated next to her were amusing; the other kids, now that everyone was familiar and no longer crying, often got involved in fights.
This made Situ Xin frequently wonder why she was sitting here watching a bunch of little brats fight.
“Alright, quiet down, kids.
For this lesson, let’s go to the playground and play a ga.
Everyone, please line up to go outside.” As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the children in the class rushed out excitedly, with the teacher trying her best to maintain order on the side.
And Situ Xin was distinctly lackluster in comparison.
Just the day before, the teacher ntioned going out to play a ga, and Situ Xin, who hadn’t attended kindergarten or played with other children in her previous life, was very excited, grinning from ear to ear as she eagerly followed the teacher to the playground.
But her excitent didn’t last long; it completely vanished shortly after.
The teacher organized a ga of drop the handkerchief, and Situ Xin went from happily squatting to watching as everyone else was squatting, talking and laughing, while she drew circles on the ground with a disappointed face.
From that mont on, Situ Xin completely lost any interest in so-called gas.
Nevertheless, she still followed the crowd of kids to the playground.
This supposed playground was actually just a patch of open ground in front of their kindergarten classrooms.
Along one side, next to the fence, were placed various children’s slides and such.
The rest of the open area served as the regular space for the children’s gas.
“Okay, children, line up nicely.
Today we’re going to play ‘eagle catches chicks.'” As soon as the teacher finished, there was a round of cheers from the children, while Situ Xin waited for the teacher to finish and then raised her hand to say, “Report, teacher.”
“Situ Xin, what is it?” The teacher always had a good impression of Situ Xin, and she would speak to her in an especially gentle tone.
“Teacher, I have a cold, so I don’t want to play the ga,” Situ Xin made up an excuse on the spot to avoid playing the ga.
When Situ Xin lied, she was serious, and given the teacher’s fond impression of her, there was no suspicion as the teacher replied, “Is that so?
Then go sit over there, and rember to drink lots of water when you get back.”
“I know, thank you for your concern, teacher,” she said and walked toward the area with the slides.
After watching the kids in the middle of the playground having fun for a while, Situ Xin stood up, ready to head back to the classroom.
As she got up, ready to leave, she caught a glimpse underneath the slide, where there was a tiny hole against the fence.
If not covered by climbing vines, it would have been difficult for anyone to notice without Situ Xin’s sharp eyesight.
Looking at the hole, Situ Xin, who was utterly bored, suddenly beca very curious about what lay beyond that fence.
Being soone who acted on her impulses, she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her.
She then crouched down, walked under the slide, parted the climbing vines with her hands, and revealed a hole just large enough for a child to crawl through.
The hole was just the right size for Situ Xin to squat through.
After lowering herself, she slowly made her way out through the hole.
“I’ve made it out,” Situ Xin felt more and more like a child in that mont, excited as if she was embarking on an adventure.
She stood up and surveyed the scene beyond the fence.
“Huh, where is this?
How co I’ve never co across it around the school?” Seeing the sowhat aged buildings before her gave her the brief sensation of having traveled through ti again.
She was now standing in a long and quiet alley, with only the sounds of children playing inside the fence audible.
“It seems that this alley is not commonly used by anyone.”
