Chapter 916: Chapter 914: Master Xi… Is Miss Wen alright?
 

Muxi watched Xiao Mi awkwardly cough, pointing outside to the courtyard, “Is this base yours too?”

“Yes, it’s mine, it’s a long story that I’ll explain later. Right now, we need to deal with some Orang Family matters. Come with me to the conference room.”

Xiao Mi coughed awkwardly again, at a loss for how to explain the current situation, so she decided to change the subject, hoping to divert their attention.

Mu Dong looked at Xiao Mi’s guilty expression, smiled softly, and patted Muxi’s shoulder, reminding him not to press too hard, as some things would eventually be known.

Muxi got the hint and stood up from the sofa, giving Xiao Mi a tender and doting smile, “Let’s go, tell us the details.”

On the way there, Mu Dong had already conducted a thorough investigation of the Orang Organization, and they had gathered information on it in a short time. Nevertheless, any action they took would still need to be coordinated with Xiao Mi’s plan.

Xiao Mi saw the smile on Muxi’s face and knew what he was thinking; he was not one to give up easily.

However, Xiao Mi deliberately ignored Muxi, not even looking at him. She was clueless about how to explain, and at the moment, she felt it would be easier to face Wen Xin.

The next day, Wen Xin slowly woke up, feeling as if her whole body had been dismantled, her entire body like it was falling apart.

She moved slightly, inhaling sharply because of the pain. It was as if she had experienced a dream she did not want to remember, full of embarrassing moments.

Mu Chengxi gently embraced Wen Xin from behind, pulling her into his arms, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, it was my negligence that caused you to be lost and suffer so much.”

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s voice brought Wen Xin back to her senses. Despite the pain in her body, she quickly turned to look at the man holding her.

Lifting her hands to cradle Mu Chengxi’s cheeks, her eyes brimming with surprise, “Is it really you? I’m so relieved that you’re alright!”

Wen Xin hugged Mu Chengxi excitedly; she had been worried about his safety in P City, but seeing him now eased her anxious heart.

Holding the excited Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi smiled softly, whispered in her ear, “If I hadn’t come, who would have cured you of the poison? You almost…”

Wen Xin raised her hand to cover Mu Chengxi’s mouth, stopping him from saying anything else that could embarrass her.

“The poison was strange. At first, it only made me weak, unable to resist, and then it…changed.”

Thinking of the poison, Wen Xin felt a chill; if Xiao Mi hadn’t found her in time, she wasn’t sure what she might have done.

She had been in despair while waiting for Mu Chengxi… She had even thought of taking her own life.

Looking into Wen Xin’s bright eyes, Mu Chengxi held her tightly, his head resting on her neck, he said in a muffled voice, “There won’t be a next time. I won’t give anyone the chance to harm you again.”

“Has grandmother replied? She must be worried about us, right? With such a serious incident, it would be troubling if we made the old woman too anxious.”

Suddenly, Wen Xin looked up at Mu Chengxi while in his embrace, truly afraid that Old Madam Mu might have issues because of this incident. She would feel guilty if something happened, after all, it was all caused by her.

Mu Chengxi raised his hand to rub Wen Xin’s head and embraced her as they sat up from the bed, “We haven’t had the chance to call Grandma yet. It’s still night in Beijing, so let’s wait until dawn to call her.”

As Mu Chengxi raised his hand, Wen Xin noticed the injury on his arm and immediately sat up from the bed, grabbing Mu Chengxi’s wrist.

“Did you get this injury in P City?”

Looking at Wen Xin’s distressed expression, Mu Chengxi squeezed her cheek with his other hand, “Hmm, I got ambushed in P City. It’s just a superficial wound, don’t worry. Mu Bei got it worse, he had his shoulder shot through, but there’s no serious issue since we have the doctors you arranged at the base.”

After speaking, Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin into his embrace, lowered his head, and gently kissed her forehead,

“This is the first time I’ve contemplated murder. I won’t let Luo Qiete off; I’ve already taken care of him at the P City base. As for his power in S City, I’ll find a way to swallow it up too.”

Wen Xin looked up at Mu Chengxi and smiled softly, lazily blinking her eyes at him.

“I’ve blown up the base of the Orang Organization, just not sure about the casualties. If Luo Qiete survives the explosion, he won’t end up well either…”

Wen Xin said this with a secretive smile, her voice soft as she briefly told Mu Chengxi about her actions.

After listening to Wen Xin’s story, Mu Chengxi let out a helpless chuckle. As a man, he could understand Luo Qiete’s feelings and even felt his mood lift at the instant karma. Getting such retribution for laying hands on his woman seemed like the best outcome.

After chatting with Mu Chengxi for a while, Wen Xin unwrapped the gauze on his arm to check his wound, then lay back down in bed and fell asleep.

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s peaceful sleeping face, feeling a warmth in his heart. He gently kissed her cheek, then went into the bathroom, changed into a new set of clothes, and left the bedroom.

As Mu Chengxi exited the bedroom, Mu Dong and Muxi, along with others, walked in from outside. Seeing Mu Chengxi, they all respectfully saluted him.

“Master Xi…”

“Master Xi… Is Miss Wen alright?”

Muxi, noticing the marks on Mu Chengxi’s collarbone, spoke a bit absent-mindedly, not having seen Wen Xin emerge, he was somewhat concerned about her…

“She’s fine for now. Resolve the S City matter as quickly as possible, and then we’ll return to Beijing. I need to take her for a check-up.”

While talking, Mu Chengxi sat down on the couch in the living room, his gaze landing on Xiao Mi, “Do you have any arrangements? We are not familiar with S City, so we’ll follow your lead.”

When Wen Xin was in the room, she had told Mu Chengxi about Xiao Mi coming to rescue her and warned him not to ask about Xiao Mi’s power, as Xiao Mi might not be willing to answer.

“Master Xi, we’ve already taken care of the matter. We can return to Beijing this afternoon.”

Muxi, who had been silent until now, spoke up with a hint of excitement. They had just returned from the base of the Orang Organization, and they had left the follow-up matters to Xiao Mi’s people to handle.
