23. Xi family

"I don't know her, I also don't know that father has adopted sister, what happened?"

"It seems like this is not just a simple discussion we can dig at one time. We need to search it up." Xinghe said to him.

What she said makes sense.

"I also found their family photo" Xinghe open her phone and display the photo of Xi Jin with his wife and two children. Xinghe continued "It is clear that the boy named Xi Yiqin is Ushi, look they clearly look alike!"

Upon noticing it, Liwei is shocked. It is really Ushi, but how could it be that it is unknown even to them that there is a big secret being lies in their Yu mansion? How did Ushi's family died? Why did they do that? Who did those things to Xi family?

"What is your plan?" Liwei ask her.

"I will clearly try to do more digging, if I could just dig the Liao main head quarters, It would be much more easier. Anyways, you have to help me ok?" Xinghe said to him.

"Okay, but you won't tell him? Isn't it appropriate if we tell him?" Liwei ask her.

"Let's just uncover all these things then we will repent on what we are doing but for now, we have to keep this things from him especially since he is struggling far more more than what we thought" Xinghe said to him seriously.

"Up to you, let's go. I'm hungry, you don't know how much energy we lost just to search you! You have to make me a meal!" Liwei said glaring at her.

Xinghe shrug at his behavior.

"What do you want to have?" Xinghe ask him.

"Up to you" Liwei said then walks first.

Xinghe didn't know how hard Liwei tried to reply with nonchalance but right after he turn his back on Xinghe, his grin cannot be hide anymore.

Days passed by and it is already night before the day of their mission, Xinghe is nervous about this mission since their target is Liao family, someone who shared some blood to her. But thinking through all the things she did, this is the very thing her grandmother wants, she found that this Liao family has long history of feud and internal struggle inside their family, maybe this is the reason why her grandma wants to strike at them, but why?

What bothers her the most is the branch they will target works with illegal operations. She has so many questions in her head. She wants to know what happened, she wants to know how things escalated this way, war between families is not a simple matter, especially when either two families combined would be able to topple down the government.

Using her phone, she texted Ahcy,

"Xiao Cy, if you are in the situation you cannot go back, what will you do?"

After a minute her phone receive a message.

"Why? What happened? Are you ok?"

Her friend showers her with so many questions rather than answers.

"No I'm fine, just a random question that pops into my head hehe. Good night Xiao cy mwuah!"

Xinghe typed.

"Oh I thought something happened to our dear Xiao Xing. Good night mwuah"
