Chapter 947: Chapter 945: I’ll handle the matter, you just need to take care of yourself.
 

“Elder Bai, I hope you can understand that it is Wen Xin who has been resisting the Wen family, not me rejecting her. Some words should be said by you to Wen Xin, to remind her who her real family is.”

The old fox stared at Mr. Bai with a provocative gaze, looking downright arrogant.

Seeing the old fox’s demeanor, Mr. Bai regretted making the trip. He knew exactly what kind of person the old fox was, and still he came. It was his own humiliation.

Mr. Bai gave a cold snort at the old fox, “I will take care of Wen Xin if you will not, rest assured, I won’t let anyone bully her.”

“Well, I’ll wait and see. I want to see what tricks such a little girl has up her sleeve, thinking she can turn Independent State upside down.”

The old fox looked a bit displeased at the moment and snorted coldly. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t handle Wen Xin after drawing such a big circle around the situation.

After Mr. Bai left the Wen family, he dialed Wen Xin’s number. On her end, Wen Xin had not slept all night and had just finished breakfast when she unexpectedly answered Mr. Bai’s call.

“Grandfather, why are you calling at this time? What happened?”

Wen Xin understood Mr. Bai’s character, knowing he normally wouldn’t disturb her, which made today’s call a bit surprising.

“Wen Xin, have you heard about the matter in Independent State? Don’t worry, grandfather has already managed to get someone into the Elders Council. Even if the Elders Guild comes up with something, I will do my utmost to protect your interests!”

The thought of Wen Xin’s parents made Mr. Bai feel deeply regretful for not having taken better care of her, so he was always thinking of ways to make it up to Wen Xin.

Listening to Mr. Bai’s agitation, Wen Xin smiled gently, lazily sitting down on the sofa with her phone. She hadn’t slept all night and was somewhat fatigued.

“Grandfather, I’ve heard about the situation in Independent State. I can handle it myself, so don’t worry. I’ll go back and personally attend the re-election of the Elders Guild. It’s the best opportunity to get rid of those Elders.”

“If they want to cause trouble, then we’ll just have to make a bigger scene, legitimizing our actions against them.”

“Grandfather, do you remember what I asked you to prepare for me? Get the things ready, it won’t be long before they are needed.”

Lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, Wen Xin spoke to Mr. Bai in a calm tone, her voice sounding lethargic.

Mr. Bai, hearing how Wen Xin spoke, was concerned about her health.

“Wen Xin, take good care of yourself, your health is the most critical thing. You don’t have to shoulder everything alone. Although the Bai Family may not be as impressive as you, we still have status in Independent State… Grandfather can still help you.”

Hearing the tender care in Mr. Bai’s voice, Wen Xin softly smiled and gently soothed him.

“Grandfather, rest assured, I already have reliable people to rely on. Xiao Mi and Wen Huai are at my side, and I have Mu Chengxi behind me, as well as many others who are willing to help me. I’m not fighting alone.”

“What you need to do is to protect yourself well. Until I have dealt with those matters, you must ensure your safety!”

Wen Xin had considered all possible dangers, and her greatest concern was that someone might take action against Old Madam Mu behind the scenes, and she also worried about the Bai Family’s situation in Independent State.

Without these concerns, dealing with the matters of Independent State would be the least of her worries, even if three such States arose simultaneously.

Listening to Wen Xin’s confident tone, Mr. Bai felt reassured, his greatest fear being that Wen Xin wouldn’t be able to handle the current situation.

But now it seemed that Wen Xin was actually looking forward to the events unfolding, as if she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Wen Xin and Mr. Bai didn’t reveal much. They just chatted casually, and after Mr. Bai returned to the Bai Family, he ended the call.

Wen Xin lay on the sofa, pondering Mr. Bai’s words. She didn’t need to guess to know what Mr. Bai had been up to; he undoubtedly went to see the old fox and hit a wall there, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so emotionally stirred up.

Wen Xin turned over on the sofa, holding the phone, and dialed the number listed under “Ah Si” in her contact list.

The call was answered within five seconds, and Ah Si’s steady voice came from the other end.

“Little princess, what is it that you’re calling about?”

“Get someone from the Bai Family to keep an eye on things. Don’t let the old fox’s ninja harm the Bai Family, and especially ensure my grandfather’s safety.”

Wen Xin didn’t consider Ah Si a stranger and directly told him what needed to be done. He was one of several hidden pieces Wen Xin had placed in Independent State, with a covert identity unknown to anyone.

“Rest assured, little princess. Mr. Bai did indeed visit the Wen family today. The old fox didn’t lay a hand on him. According to the information received, a conflict did occur between them today, but the old fox did not do anything excessive to Elder Wen.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to ensure the safety of all Bai Family members…”

At this point, Ah Si paused for a moment before calling out softly to Wen Xin, “Little princess, we’ve discovered that preparations for the Heaven Selection are underway near Kunshan. There are a lot of people around, and it’s very difficult for us to get close without drawing attention…”

“We really don’t want to startle the snake in the grass, but if you intervene, little princess, you might be able to halt their progress.”

Ah Si honestly told Wen Xin what he had discovered, hoping she would be mentally prepared before coming over and not make any rash decisions.

Wen Xin strongly disliked the event of Heaven Selection and hadn’t expected the people of Independent State to be so capable of stirring things up, even pulling out the miraculous event of Heaven Selection and trying to escalate the issue, which was quite an impressive feat.

After a long silence from Wen Xin, Ah Si tentatively asked another question, “Little princess, did you hear me? What are you planning to do? Are you going to stop them, or…”

“I will handle this matter myself once I return to Independent State. You just keep a close watch on those people, ensuring the safety of the Bai Family.””
