Chapter 932: Chapter 930: If You Want to Play, Play Bigger
 

Mu Chengxi spoke in a gentle tone, turning his head to look at Wen Xin, trying to detect any different expression on her face.

Wen Xin casually tossed her phone onto her seat and picked up her tablet, seriously browsing through the dark web, then she spoke somewhat indifferently.

“She’s already the world’s third-ranked assassin. It would be abnormal for her not to have her own power base, right? I just didn’t expect her to be in S City.”

At this point, Wen Xin’s hand suddenly paused. She remembered something Barry had mentioned to her – Xiao Mi wanted to ask her for some weapons.

Wen Xin picked up her phone from the seat again and dialed Barry’s number; the call connected quickly.

“Master Drunk, what made you think of calling me? You didn’t come to see me off at Facility 26 that day; now you remember me!”

Barry’s tone was somewhat plaintive, it sounded as though he was coquettishly complaining to Wen Xin, but Wen Xin was not in the mood to waste words with him.

“Do you have in stock the weapons Xiao Mi asked you for? If so, just arrange them for her. The funds can be deducted from my account!”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s instructions, Barry was slightly stunned. He couldn’t comprehend why Wen Xin would exceptionally decide to do business in S City for Xiao Mi’s sake.

Let alone the issue of money, this action would certainly elicit dissatisfaction from other areas. It’s well-known that S City is already chaotic without advanced weapons and sometimes the situation is uncontrollable.

But now, if Facility 26 were to provide weapons to S City, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was a bit terrifying.

Wen Xin was utterly unconcerned about Barry’s caution. She lazily leaned back in her chair and spoke with arrogance.

“Since when have I ever considered others’ opinions when doing things? Do I need others to judge whether what I do is right or not? As long as I’m happy, that’s enough.”

As she spoke, Wen Xin let out a light laugh unconsciously. She too found it quite amusing.

“I previously avoided doing business in S City because I didn’t want to get involved in all those messy affairs, but now the situation is different. I heard that a part of the Shadow Alliance’s force is in S City, so let’s stir up even more chaos there. For me, that’s the happiest thing.”

Wen Xin was now entertaining the idea of enjoying the turmoil. Previously, she could afford to not care much, but now, things were no longer the same. Only by creating more chaos could she increase her odds against the Independent State. Since they liked to play, she would play it big…

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, only one thought came to Barry’s mind, and that was that Wen Xin had gone mad…

Yet, it was precisely this kind of madness in Wen Xin that he adored.

“No problem, I’ll take this order. As long as you, Master Drunk, are happy, what does it matter to me if the world turns chaotic!”

Since the day Barry met Wen Xin, he only had one thought – to accompany this little princess well, aiming to make her happy in all the things he did.

Although he could be petty at times, he had never refused Wen Xin’s requests, because he knew that without Wen Xin, there would be no today for him, and he was grateful to her.

After hanging up with Barry, Wen Xin continued to look at the messages on the dark web. Mu Chengxi reached out and held Wen Xin’s hand, which was on the tablet, gently pinching the tips of her fingers.

“Are you going to take action?” Mu Chengxi’s voice was somewhat hoarse, as if suppressing certain emotions, making it somewhat elusive.

Wen Xin lifted her head from the tablet and turned to look at Mu Chengxi, who was driving.

“Hmm, the Elders of the Independent State are going to make a move in ten days, so I might as well go back to watch the excitement. Some issues have to be settled eventually.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, her beautiful eyes carrying a soft, broken smile. She didn’t wish to hide her thoughts from Mu Chengxi, and she also knew that Mu Chengxi had always been paving the way for her.

Mu Chengxi took advantage of the red light to turn his head toward Wen Xin, his gaze suddenly softening as he looked into her eyes.

“Then I must speed up as well, get things sorted out, and accompany you to the Independent State. I’m aiming to resolve the issues so we can go home for the New Year.”

In his heart, Mu Chengxi silently calculated—it should be enough in two months, right?

Wen Xin regarded Mu Chengxi silently, not speaking out loud, but she was very clear in her heart that with Mu Chengxi, she had a mountain to lean on, no longer struggling alone.

As Mu Chengxi’s car just entered the courtyard of the research institute, Ma Wenyuan hurried out from the physics research institute, rushing in front of Mu Chengxi’s car and blocking Wen Xin’s path.

Wen Xin looked at Ma Wenyuan, who stood in front of the car, unconsciously frowning.

“Uncle Ma, what are you doing?” Wen Xin got out of the car, looking at Ma Wenyuan with some incomprehension as to why he would act this way.

“I heard you were coming to the research institute, so I waited here for you. Hurry up and come with me; stop running away. The research institute needs you now!”

Ma Wenyuan had always been indulgent toward Wen Xin. He knew that certain sights would evoke emotions in her, so he hadn’t forced her to work at the research institute.

But today’s situation was really too unique. Even if Wen Xin couldn’t accept it, he couldn’t worry too much anymore; he needed Wen Xin’s expertise and some skills unique to her.

With that, Ma Wenyuan took Wen Xin by the arm and led her into the research institute.

Wen Xin looked at Ma Wenyuan’s agitated state and didn’t refuse him, but when she walked into the research institute, she still felt uncomfortable and wanted to break free from the grip on her wrist.

At this moment, Ma Wenyuan seemed to realize Wen Xin’s resistance and, somewhat helplessly, released her hand.

“Wen Xin, do you really plan to never enter this place for the rest of your life? Indeed, there are many unpleasant things here, but have you ever thought about it? You are their heir, carrying their hopes on your shoulders.”

“I’ve always understood you and never forced you to come back. I’ve even been nurturing Wen Huai. I hope he can accomplish those things.”

Having said that, Ma Wenyuan sighed helplessly. He didn’t want to trouble Wen Xin, so he had always been pressing Wen Huai to strive to do well.

“But there are some things that nobody else can take over! I don’t know if you remember, but your mother said you were born for physics, that they all had high hopes for you. I hope you won’t shy away. We are now facing a bottleneck and need you to lead us out, just as your father did, leading the entire team to success!”

Ma Wenyuan looked at Wen Xin, hoping to move her with his sincerity, and even more so, he hoped that Wen Xin would think of her parents and take up the responsibility of the research institute… The research institute truly needed her now.

Wen Xin furrowed her brows, her head bowed, deep in thought, but it was clear that her entire being was resisting, yet she was trying hard to compromise.
