Unexpectedly, it turned into a disaster. He hurriedly dressed and quickly left the base to find Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan at the hotel.
After meeting with several key figures at Tian Shu Manor and hearing their reports, Wen Xin confidently delegated all responsibilities to Hall Master Meng and the manorâs steward.
âAnything that comes up, you can handle with headquarters. As for the minor issues here, you donât need to involve me. But Iâm aware of what youâre all doing, like Hall Master Mengâs wife giving birth to twins two months ago. Iâve even prepared gifts for the kids. Miss Chu, could you fetch the gifts I brought from upstairs? And thereâs also a wedding gift for Hall Master Sun.â
âYouâre the first ones who helped me and whom Iâve relied on, so I trust you with the affairs of the manor.â
Continent M manages Tian Shu Manor, but it operates independently, and Wen Xin doesnât intervene much because she trusts these people.
âYou gave us a new life, Miss Wen; our lives belong to you, and we will never betray you.â
They would never forget what their lives were like before they met Wen Xin. Without her, there wouldnât be a âtodayâ for them. They knew how to be grateful and understood what the future holds.
âThatâs enough, no need to pledge your loyalty here. I prefer keeping my identity hidden. Those who donât know donât need an explanation. Letâs disperse.â
Wen Xin lounged on the sofa, checking the message from Mu Chengxi. She calculated that the two dimwits at the hotel should have woken up by nowâit was time to settle accounts.
Hall Master Meng nodded to Wen Xin and led everyone out of the living room, drawing much attention as they left. Everyone was still very curious about Wen Xinâs identity, especially after witnessing Chu Yunxuanâs profound authority.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin, who had shifted her position on the sofa, and expressed her concern, âYouâre going to treat Aiden tomorrow, and youâre not planning to bring anyone or arrange for some protection? Isnât it too dangerous to go like that?â
âIsnât it enough to have you and Yan Yu with me? If the three of us canât make it out of that manor, we might as well return to the black market. I trust your fighting skills.â
Wen Xin didnât plan to bring many people and risk alarming their enemies. She had her own secret weapons; problems that could be solved with a bomb didnât require exposing Tian Shu Manor to potential trouble.
As Wen Xin finished speaking, her phone began to vibrate. She looked at Chu Yunxuan and Yan Yu, signaling them to step aside, and then answered Mu Chengxiâs call.
This was the first time in three days that Mu Chengxi had video-called her.
âAre you done with your tasks?â Wen Xin answered the video call from Mu Chengxi, lounging lazily on the sofa, greeting him in a relaxed manner.
Mu Chengxi, observing the European-style decor behind Wen Xin, paused slightly; he remembered that the decor of the N Port base manor was not of this style.
When he saw the large clock behind Wen Xin, he became even more certain that Wen Xin was not in his manor.
âWhere are you? Mu Bei and Fernando just messaged me, and Fernando even told Mu Bei that you were currently taking a walk in the manorâŠâ
Hearing Mu Chengxiâs words, Wen Xin couldnât help but chuckle. She switched her phone to the rear camera to show him her surroundings. fređwđbnđŒvđČđ„.đđŒđ
âThis is Chu Yunxuanâs friendâs manor. The first day we arrived in N Port, your men took us to the hotel. The presidential suite was nice, but we didnât like it, so we left.â
Wen Xinâs calm gaze and slight smile conveyed her ease, despite Mu Chengxiâs evident frustration.
âI didnât expect to be taken to a hotel upon arriving in N Port, and the service was poor. I left the hotel three days ago; they probably just noticed today. And you were still in the dark, Mu Chengxi. Your men are not very reliable.â
Wen Xin had issues with Fernando, but he wasnât her subordinate. She could turn a blind eye to it, but it was different for Mu Chengxi.
Fernando, a leader at the base, could potentially betray Mu Chengxi in other matters as well, representing a dangerous element to him.
Wen Xin needed to stir up some trouble to make Mu Chengxi take this matter seriously; she didnât want anyone who might stab him in the back.
Feeling guilty, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin. He thought he had arranged everything perfectly for her but was disappointed to hear she felt neglected. It was his oversight.
âIâm sorry. I promised to take care of you, and I failed.â
âItâs not your fault. How are things on your end? Iâm doing well here, resting well and eating well. The manorâs owner is a woman too, so she poses no threat to you.â
Wen Xin skillfully changed the subject, knowing when to press issues and when to let them go for better results.
âItâs still quite complicated over here; it might take about a week to sort everything out. Take care of yourself, and if you like your friendâs manor, feel free to stay a bit longer. Once everything is settled, Iâll have someone bring you back.â
Mu Chengxi was still worried about Wen Xin staying at someone elseâs place. If it werenât for his commitments, he would have flown to N Port to handle the situation personally.
âAlright, no rush, just handle things slowly.â
Noticing the fatigue in Mu Chengxiâs brow, Wen Xin knew the issues in Continent F must be troubling. She didnât pry further, instead softly soothing him.
âIâm fine here, and if things go well, I should be able to return home soon. But you, donât overwork yourself. Rest when youâre tired; work isnât finished in a day. Itâs getting late; you should rest.â
With her gentle tone and voice, Wen Xin effectively soothed Mu Chengxiâs restless emotions, much to his relief.
After ensuring Wen Xin was well and in good spirits, Mu Chengxi felt reassured. They chatted casually for a few more moments before ending the call, with him promising to rest as she suggested.
After hanging up, Mu Chengxi threw his phone onto the desk in frustration. Mu Bei walked in just then and jumped back in fright.
