Mu Chengxi couldn’t resist Wen Xin’s teasing. He held her tightly in his arms, took a deep breath, and hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
“My sister asked us to come back for dinner. Do you want to freshen up before we go?”
“No need, just changing clothes will do. Are we staying at the old mansion tonight?”
“It’s up to you. If you don’t want to, we can come back. It’ll be more convenient to send you to the exam tomorrow.” Mu Chengxi lightly pinched the muscles around Wen Xin’s waist. A girl’s body should be soft, but Wen Xin seemed to have solid muscles all over her body.
“Let’s see how it goes. I’ll change clothes, and then we can set off.”
It was already winter, and the nights were getting darker earlier. If they went to the old house now, it would probably be dark by the time they arrived. So, it was better to leave a bit earlier.
Mu Chengxi let go of Wen Xin and watched her go upstairs to change. Then, he picked up his phone and squinted at the messages on it.
When he heard the sound of the door closing upstairs, Mu Chengxi dialed Gu
Yanzhe’s number and asked, “Is the information you just sent true?”
“It’s true. The Jason family went to the Shadow Alliance and wanted to cooperate, but Aiden hasn’t been in good health recently. He wants to call Geng Zewei back, but it seems that Geng Zewei’s recovery isn’t going well. He wanted to buy some experimental drugs from the Medical Organization of Continent
M, but they’ve been rejected.”
When Gu Yanzhe mentioned the Medical Organization of Continent M, Mu Chengxi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. He felt that Wen Xin seemed to have a very close relationship with the Medical Organization of Continent M. He wondered what the connection between Wen Xin and the Medical Organization of Continent M was.
“What’s the situation with the Jason Family now? Did their elders get injured in the explosion?” Mu Chengxi hadn’t been able to reach out to the Independent State yet. Although he had thought of many channels, he hadn’t had the chance to get in touch with the core of the Independent State.
“Master Xi, we don’t know much about the situation in the Independent State, but what we can confirm is that the person in contact with the Shadow Alliance is not the one from the Elder Council, but his son.’
Gu Yanzhe had already reached his limit to obtain such information. He simply didn’t have the opportunity to delve deeper into the internal affairs of the
Independent State.
“How are Liang Luoyu and Mu Dong’s injuries?”
“Their injuries are recovering quickly. Chu Yunxuan had someone send experimental drugs from the Medical Organization of Continent M, and the recovery effect is quite good. They should be able to return to Continent F in about a week.”
Recently, there were signs of cooperation between the Shadow Alliance and the Independent State, which was not a good thing for the forces in Continent F.
Therefore, they needed to be extra cautious.
“Alright, I know the situation. Mu Bei will handle things in Beijing for you. Just focus on handling things in Continent F. In a few days, I’ll personally go to Continent F.”
Mu Chengxi planned to go to Continent F after Wen Xin’s birthday. He could only let Gu Yanzhe and the others hold on for a while longer.
After hanging up the phone, when Mu Chengxi returned to the living room, Wen Xin was already sitting there, looking at him calmly with a faint smile on her lips.
“Are you investigating the Independent State?”
Seeing that Wen Xin seemed to already know something, Mu Chengxi didn’t hide it either. He sat down next to Wen Xin and held her hand in his palm. “I know you don’t want to act against the Independent State for now. Actually, I just wanted to cause a bit of trouble for them. It seems that my actions have touched on the interests of some people, making them unhappy…”
Mu Chengxi looked into Wen Xin’s eyes, his dark eyes staring at her. He didn’t want Wen Xin to be troubled by this matter.
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly. “When you found Chu Yunxuan, she told me everything about how you wanted to cooperate with her. She didn’t lie to you. She really didn’t know about the Independent State.”
“Twenty years ago, there was an incident of stealing scientific research results in the Independent State. After that, the Independent State became very closed off, with a very strong defense system. No hacker could attack the Independent State’s programs, and even Di Ting couldn’t find out anything about the
Independent State.”
“But I know about the Independent State…”
“In the Independent State, I have my own intelligence network. My identity is special, and I can freely enter and leave the Independent State. You can ask me anything you want to know, but I hope you won’t take action against the Independent State now, and don’t let them know your true situation.”
“I need an opportunity. When the time is right, I can take action.” Wen Xin didn’t tell Mu Chengxi what kind of timing she needed.
He looked into her bright, serious eyes and lowered his head, gently kissing Wen Xin’s eyes. “I’ll remember what you said. Don’t worry; I won’t act recklessly before you’re ready to take action.”
Mu Chengxi didn’t want to do anything to the Independent State. He just wanted to be Wen Xin’s solid support. When Wen Xin needed him, he could help her with everything he had and keep her safe.
“Don’t worry, Alfredo will handle the matter of the Jason Family. Their family members shouldn’t cause trouble for Continent F anymore. The scandal they’ve been exposed to is enough to get them into trouble, and they’re already overwhelmed. They won’t cause any more trouble.”
An explosion had revealed a shocking scandal. The members of the Jason Family were already overwhelmed. Their cooperation with the Shadow Alliance was just a show put on by the Shadow Alliance. It was an opportunity for Geng
Zewei to attract the attention of the Medical Organization of Continent M. They were all just some unsavory methods.
Wen Xin stood up from the sofa and held Mu Chengxi’s hand, which had distinct joints and clear blood vessels. “We can set off now!”
On the way back to the old mansion of the Mu family, Mu Chengxi’s phone suddenly vibrated. Wen Xin thought it might be Old Madam Mu asking them to come back for dinner.
Wen Xin took out the phone from Mu Chengxi’s pocket and saw a string of unfamiliar numbers. She lazily leaned against the passenger seat and read out the phone number displayed on the phone.
“Do you know 198xxxxxxxx?
“I don’t know. If you’re curious, you can answer it and see who it is…” Mu Chengxi also understood. His phone number was very private, and only acquaintances knew his phone number.
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow, looked at Mu Chengxi’s natural and candid expression, and lightly tapped the phone with her slender fingers, answering the call.
“Chengxi, I hesitated for a long time, but I still feel there are some things I want to talk to you about. Are you free to talk now?”
Hearing the soft voice on the other end of the phone, Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, her eyes showing some confusion. She couldn’t guess who the person was.
“There’s nothing between us to talk about. At most, we’re just friends..”
