The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 230: Processing Plant (2)_1
Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Processing Plant (2)_1
Situ Xin was wholly immersed in the memories of her past life and didn’t anticipate that her behavior would completely mislead Old Deng. He assumed that Situ Xin was nervous. Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had the same thought as Old Deng, both of them looked at Situ Xin with eyes filled with concern.
"Xiao Xin girl, don’t be nervous, there’s nothing to worry about. Just follow Grandpa Deng later," said Situ Xin, who at this moment was completely lost in her thoughts and did not notice the worried looks from her grandfather and maternal grandfather.
Seeing that Situ Xin did not respond, Old Deng pondered for a moment before adding, "Xiao Xin, later when they hear you will accept the Dark Division and become the Dark Division Leader, there might be some reluctance; there could be some objections. But don’t worry, you have Grandpa Deng here, and when the time comes, I will help you solve it." Old Deng’s words caused Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo to snort. What did he mean by ’might be a bit reluctant, have some objections’? Was that the extent of it?
Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo watched Situ Xin, their hearts filled with worry yet also anticipation that the members of the Dark Division wouldn’t be too difficult to handle.
At this moment, Situ Xin came back to her senses, just in time to hear the last sentence spoken by Old Deng. "Grandpa Deng, what matter did you mention you would help me with when the time comes?"
Situ Xin turned her head, looking at Old Deng with confusion. Old Deng himself became a bit confused under her puzzled gaze: "Xiao Xin, didn’t you hear what I said?"
"What?" Situ Xin asked with confusion.
"Ah, ah, no. Nothing," Old Deng finally realized it was not that she was nervous. He had misunderstood completely.
The headquarters of the Dark Division were hidden within a mountain ravine in the outskirts of Capital City. The location was incredibly secretive, and without knowing the exact address, it was nearly impossible for one to find the place.
Although the Dark Division was built in a ravine, there were no other residences within the vicinity for miles. The surroundings were desolate, but the scale of the Dark Division’s construction was quite large.
The car traveled slowly along the mountain road, thankfully they were in a Land Rover off-road vehicle. Otherwise, given the rough terrain, it wouldn’t have been sustainable for the car, let alone the people in it.
In her past life, every time Situ Xin visited, she would drive to the entrance of the mountain path, park the car, and then walk in on foot. During that time, Situ Xin enjoyed the tranquility of walking on the mountain paths.
Old Master Situ looked at the terrain and remarked to Old Deng with admiration, "Old Deng, you really have a shrewd eye to have chosen this place to build the Dark Division. No wonder those people haven’t been able to find the headquarters of the Dark Division after so many years."
"Hehe, I had no choice but to pick it," said Old Deng with a dry laugh. But there were things not said that both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo understood.
After a bumpy ride, the car finally began to move smoothly, which Situ Xin knew meant they were nearing their destination. The thought of arriving at the Dark Division made her heartbeat accelerate unexpectedly.
Baibai noticed the change in Situ Xin’s heartbeat and lifted its tiger-like head to look at her, "Master, what makes you nervous?"
"Ah, I’m not nervous. It’s just that..." Situ Xin didn’t know how to describe her current feelings to Baibai.
As the car approached the gate, the guards stopped them. The guards at Dragon Society were all soldiers who had been injured in the special forces and had retired. The guard walked up to the car window, saluted, and said, "Please show your credentials."
Old Deng took out a credential from his pocket and handed it to the driver, who then gave it to the guard. After a glance at the credential, the guard’s face showed respect as he saluted and said, "Greetings to you, leaders," before letting them pass and enter.
"We’re here, come on out." The car stopped in front of a five-story building, and the doors were promptly opened by someone. Old Deng was the first to get out, followed by Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo. Situ Xin, on the other hand, felt a moment’s daze as the car entered, as if she had returned to her previous life.
It wasn’t until Old Deng reminded her outside the car door to get out that she came back to her senses. But Situ Xin’s reactions were all interpreted as nervousness by Old Deng and the others. So, when Situ Xin got out of the car, Old Deng kept reassuring her not to be nervous, while Situ Xin felt a mix of being amused and bemused.
After getting out of the car, Situ Xin felt several penetrating, unwelcoming, surprised, and incredulous gazes on her. She instinctively followed the feeling, and those few dressed in tight outfits, not expecting Situ Xin to suddenly look at them, were caught red-handed by her gaze.
These people in tight outfits were senior members of the Dark Division. They had received a call from Old Deng, the Dark Division Leader, saying that a new leader had been found for the Dark Division.
In the phone call, Old Deng had only mentioned that he found a leader for them and said nothing else. This caused those who received the call to immediately call a meeting to discuss what kind of person had caught Old Deng’s eye to the extent that he would cede the leadership of the Dark Division to them.
When they saw Situ Xin walking down from the car, had their psychological quality not been strong, they would have exclaimed out loud. They couldn’t believe their eyes that this little girl holding a pet cat would become their leader. They would have preferred to believe that one of the two elders would be their next Leader.
Situ Xin didn’t take the provocative look from the flamboyant young man to heart. She knew that if she couldn’t convince them this visit, even if she took over the Dark Division from Old Deng, it would be in vain.
Yet, she was very confident in her abilities. Perhaps in her past life, she might not have been confident in conquering the people of the Dark Division, but in this life, Situ Xin was utterly convinced that she had that capability.
Indeed, with her current cultivation level, all she had to do was release her true cultivation level and no one present could withstand the pressure she would exert.
