“Wen Xin, I’ve never pried into your affairs, but could you satisfy my curiosity? Are you from the Independent State? How else could you know so much, even their exact location?”

Chu Yunxuan’s curiosity was something Wen Xin understood. As she hesitated while fastening her pajama buttons, she admitted, “There is indeed a connection, but it’s not convenient to discuss now. You’ll find out eventually.”

“Alright, if you don’t wish to discuss it, I won’t press further. Knowing

eventually is enough for me.”Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

After ending the call with Chu Yunxuan, Wen Xin leaned against the wardrobe in the dressing room, a bitter smile on her face. She knew that revealing her identity would bring danger.

She would prefer a peaceful life without any ties to that place if given the choice.

In bed, Mu Chengxi sensed Wen Xin’s unease and wrapped his arms around her gently,

“Are you feeling off today? Is there anything you’d like to talk about?”

Wen Xin, comforted by Mu Chengxi’s soft voice, turned to nestle in his embrace, “It’s nothing serious. Just feeling that troubles have been mounting since arriving in the capital, making me somewhat irritable.”

“I’m here for you. Let me handle Wei Shisheng’s matter…”

“No, don’t touch Wei Shisheng yet. I want to see what she’ll do next. Using her to relieve boredom isn’t a bad idea!”

For Wen Xin, Wei Shisheng wasn’t a significant issue; Her little tricks were nothing to her.

Her irritation stemmed from not wanting any association with those people from the Independent State.

“Let’s sleep, I’m tired.”

Wen Xin bit Mu Chengxi’s chin lightly, then cuddled up to him, ready to sleep.

The next day, Liang Luoyu and Mu Dong arrived to find Mu Chengxi alone in the living room, without Wen Xin in sight.

“Master Xi, where’s Wen Xiaoxin? Xingyue said that Grandma sent some dried fruits and wanted to send some to Wen Xin. She sent a message to Wen Xiaoxin, but she didn’t reply.”

Liang Luoyu unceremoniously sat opposite Mu Chengxi, drinking water from the table, having been busy all morning without a break.

“She’s still asleep. She went to treat Gu Xiang late last night and slept late. How did you handle the matter?” Mu Chengxi looked up from his tablet and glanced at Liang Luoyu.

“Resolved. Those guys were just petty thugs with a few cases on their backs.

We’ve handed them over to the police.”

“And Wei Shisheng’s involvement in this matter? How do you plan to deal with it, Master Xi?”

Hearing about Gu Xiang’s hypnosis by Wei Shisheng while dealing with the thugs, Liang Luoyu felt Wei Shisheng needed a lesson for her restlessness.

“No need. Wen Xin said we shouldn’t intervene. As for the Gu family, that’s their business. Let Gu Yanzhe handle it.”

Mu Chengxi’s tone was indifferent, suggesting a the hint of indulgence in his tone towards handling Wei Shisheng, a challenge even for Gu Yanzhe against the Wei family’s influence.

“You’re being too hard on Gu Yanzhe. You know Mr. Wei’s temperament.

Seeking justice from Wei Shisheng might be harder ascending to the heavens.

Perhaps it’s best to let it go…”

Liang Luoyu expected Mu Chengxi might confront the Wei family impulsively, but knew Mr Old Master Wei would not obstruct him, given his genuine affection for Mu Chengxi.

“So naive. Do we need to remind the Gu family they can’t confront the Wei family directly? Use public opinion to expose Wei Shisheng. Gu Xiang, a hacker, doesn’t need help uncovering dark secrets. What a waste of resources.”

Mu Chengxi’s casual remark hinted at a plan, although Wen Xin forbade direct action against Wei Shisheng. Slight retribution for Gu Xiang seemed harmless. Gu Xiang had suffered a loss, so it was not a big problem for her to get some compensation.

Enlightened by Mu Chengxi’s words, Liang Luoyu sighed, wondering when Mu Chengxi started engaging in such underhanded tactics.

As they spoke, the doorbell rang. Mu Chengxi glanced at Mu Dong, busy in the kitchen, then nudged Liang Luoyu to answer the door.

Liang Luoyu opened the door to find Gu Yanzhe and Gu Xiang, turning to inform Mu Chengxi, “Gu Yanzhe and Gu Xiang are here.”

“Let them in.’

Mu Chengxi set aside his tablet, shifting comfortably on the sofa and straightening his clothes, mindful of Wen Xin’s dislike for him appearing disheveled in front of other women.

Liang Luoyu welcomed Gu Yanzhe and Gu Xiang inside. Gu Xiang seemed downcast.

“I brought Gu Xiang to apologize to Wen Xin. Regardless of the reason, it was

Gu Xiang’s fault, including her troublemaking at Tianye Tech.”updat℮ by п℮wɳoѵ℮l.ƟRƓ

Hearing Gu Yanzhe’s confession, Liang Luoyu felt an urge to light an incense for Gu Xiang, offending the same formidable person twice.

“She’s still asleep. Let’s talk another day.”

Mu Chengxi’s gaze was unreadable, his demeanor icy, signaling his indifference to Gu Yanzhe’s admission and the difficulty of challenging the Wei family.

“Follow me to the study.” Wen Xin, appearing at the stairwell corner, holding a laptop, addressed Gu Xiang with a chilly tone.

Gu Xiang, realizing Wen Xin was speaking to her, hurried over, trying to appear casual as she assessed Wen Xin, finding it hard to believe Wen Xin was younger than her.

“Is it true you’re not yet nineteen? My brother told me,” Gu Xiang asked eagerly, her eyes lighting up at the prospect.

“Does it matter? I have a task for you!” Wen Xin glanced at Gu Xiang dismissively. She wouldn’t have given Gu Xiang another chance if not for the hacker alliance’s president’s strong recommendation.

Gu Xiang followed Wen Xin upstairs, while Liang Luoyu settled Gu Yanzhe on the couch, both observing Mu Chengxi, who seemed slightly tired.

“Master Xi, is Wen Xiaoxin going to take Gu Xiang upstairs for a beating?”
