Chapter 990: Chapter 986: Trouble for the Wen Family, Who is the Happiest?

Wen Moran felt someone was following his car as soon as he left the hotel. He slammed on the gas, speeding up until his car was almost flying.

At a street corner, suddenly a black van darted out of an alley and headed straight for Wen Moran’s car.

Wen Moran swerved quickly, but it was already too late, his car collided with the guardrail on the side of the street…

At that moment, the street fell silent, as if everything was paused for an instant, and everybody stopped in their tracks.

After a few seconds of hesitation, screams erupted around him, with cries for help, condemnations for driving too fast, and calls for an ambulance.

In an instant, everyone sprang into action, except for a few black cars that drove away in different directions, as if they had never been there at all.

Because of the high speed, Wen Moran’s car was completely deformed upon impact with the wall, and he himself was beyond recognition…

The news of Wen Moran’s accident quickly reached the Wen family. The old fox who had just entered the Wen household smugly, saw Butler Wen rushed out, his face etched with urgency.

“What’s wrong with you? How many times have I said that you must be composed in the face of events, don’t be like this…”

“Master, this matter doesn’t allow me to be composed. Young Master Moran… Young Master has had a car accident on the road, and the situation is very critical…”

Butler Wen, looking at Old Master Wen, was completely unable to calm down. Wen Moran’s affair was a very serious matter for the Wen family; everyone knew Old Master Wen doted on this late-in-life son the most.

On hearing Butler Wen’s words, the old fox staggered, looking instantly several years older.

Seeing the old fox’s condition worsen, the butler quickly reached out to hold his arm, supporting his body, worried that the old man’s defenses would collapse in this instant and he would be unable to accept the news.

“Master, you must hold on. We should go to the hospital now, to see Little Spoon. The fates will protect the good; he surely won’t be harmed.”

“Butler, are you saying my uncle has had a car accident?” Wen Yunuo came down the stairs and saw the butler supporting the old fox towards the door, but was stopped by Wen Yunuo’s voice.

Old Fox Wen looked at the descending Wen Yunuo with a gaze filled with aversion, as if surprised and disbelieving at his arrival.

“How did you come back? Didn’t I tell you to deal with the issues properly in Beijing? How did you suddenly come back?”

Wen Yunuo’s appearance greatly upset Old Fox Wen. He felt as if everyone was against him at the moment, even the usually obedient Wen Yunuo was no longer compliant, as if breaking free from control, which made him immensely uncomfortable.

Wen Yunuo was well aware of what the old fox was plotting. He just glanced at him lightly and then walked straight towards the sofa, where he lazily sat down.

“Grandfather, such a big incident happened in Independent State, so my return shouldn’t be a surprise, right? Besides, you might not know yet, but things in Beijing have been mostly handled. The Jiang family there no longer exists. When the big tree falls, the monkeys scatter; all those who wanted to rely on Jiang family are looking for a way out.”

“However, Mu Chengxi is ruthless and never left any chance for those people to survive, so they’ve long been unable to play the game!”

“Also, both Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi have already arrived in Beijing, and the two key figures in Beijing are no longer there. Even if I stay in Beijing, there’s no stage for me to exert my strength anymore.”

While leisurely making tea, Wen Yunuo spoke in a relaxed tone that carried a hint of carelessness.

Upon hearing that Wen Xin had arrived at Independent State, the old fox was so excited he didn’t know what to do with himself. He hurried to the couch and sat down across from Wen Yunuo.

“What did you say? Are you saying Wen Xin is back? Why haven’t I received any news?” Old Fox Wen looked at Wen Yunuo in disbelief, finding it inconceivable. Even if Wen Xin had returned, there was no way he wouldn’t have received the news!

Moreover, given Wen Xin’s personality, knowing about something like the Elders Guild affair, she would definitely not be able to keep herself from appearing at the hotel where the election was taking place. How could she possibly have so much patience and still not show up?

Wen Yunuo poured the brewed tea into a tiny cup and gently pushed it towards Old Fox Wen, offering a light smile.

“I’m not too clear on that, if you’re curious, you could just wait until you see Wen Xin in person and ask her yourself.”

After saying this, Wen Yunuo smiled lightly. How would he know what Wen Xin wanted to do? Even if he did know something, he certainly wouldn’t disclose it so easily now that he and Wen Xin were allies. He now felt that Wen Xin was much more useful than the old fox.

At least life behind Wen Xin’s back would be much more stable; they certainly weren’t the kind to get by on fighting and killing.

“Grandfather, there’s no need for you to feel so much pressure. Don’t you need to visit my uncle in the hospital? If you wait any longer, his wounds might even start to heal.”

Wen Yunuo was still unaware of just how grave Wen Moran’s accident was; he thought it was just a minor car accident.

Reminded by Wen Yunuo, Old Fox Wen quickly stood up from the couch and called for Butler Wen to prepare the car.

After Old Fox Wen left, Wen Yunuo took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the chat history with Wen Xin, and rapidly typed a few characters…

“Wen Moran has had a car accident, the situation is still unclear.”

Wen Xin, who was sitting on the couch eating an avocado, glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table, tossed the avocado to Mu Chengxi’s hand, picked up the phone to see who had sent the message.

Gently, Wen Xin checked her phone and saw the message from Wen Yunuo, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she looked at Mu Chengxi with a pleased expression.

“Success, Wen Moran has now successfully entered the hospital. Next up, I believe it’s time to properly settle the debt the Wen family owes the Bai Family.”

Putting down the avocado, Mu Chengxi curiously finished reading and asked Wen Xin.

“Just this little thing can make you so happy?”

Mu Chengxi reached out to cup Wen Xin’s cheek and gently kissed the corner of her lips, but before he could say more, Wen Xin pushed against his chest, increasing the distance between them.
