Situ Che hung up the phone, and Old Deng, being advanced in age, had been on edge since the assassination attempt earlier. Now, relaxed in the car, he felt exhausted all over. He was just closing his eyes to rest.
Because Old Deng was resting, the other people in the car were also silent, fearing they might disturb his rest.
While Old Deng rested, Situ Xin took the opportunity to sort through the events that had unfolded at the airport in her mind.
Initially, Situ Xin had thought that the assassination incident at the airport had been orchestrated by Country Y. But after calming down and reflecting, she realized that it probably had nothing to do with Country Y.
It wasn't that Country Y wouldn't send someone to assassinate Old Deng, but they wouldn't be so foolish as to attempt it on Xiangjiang soil. After all, if something were to happen to Old Deng in Xiangjiang, Country Y would be hard-pressed to escape blame.
