Zhuge Jingming also knew what had happened in the Mu family. He naturally understood the meaning behind Wen Xin’s words. He raised his hand and patted Du Luqing’s shoulder.
“Little Du, when I bring you to meet your little Grand Master in the future, you’ll understand why Miss Wen won’t agree to go to Beijing University’s medical school. There’s really nothing there for her to learn.”
No one knew Wen Xin’s medical standards better than Zhuge Jingming. Du Luqing saw Wen Xin’s SCI thesis. Wen Xin had written it after studying the medical doctor’s course. How could a PhD student go to Beijing University’s medical school as a freshman?
He was an honorary professor at Beijing University’s Medical School, and his Youngest Uncle’s medical standards were even better than his.
Hearing Zhuge Jingming mention the mysterious little advisor, Du Luqing immediately became respectful and approached Zhuge Jingming mysteriously.
“Master, could Miss Wen be the personal disciple of the little advisor?”
Du Luqing had never witnessed Wen Xin treating patients. He had only seen
Tan Xingyue’s medical information, provided by the mysterious little advisor.
Remembering that Wen Xin was his little Grand Master’s personal disciple was Du Lu Qing’s first reaction.
Wen Xin did not want Du Lu Qing to know his identity and Zhuge Jingming was aware of it. So, he responded vaguely, “Partially, but not entirely. You’ll know in the future.” After finishing their meal, Zhuge Jingming suggested they go back and rest as he was tired that day.
Treating Geng Shikui was a very energy-consuming. Originally, it would take six days to treat him, but Zhuge Jingming had compressed it to three days. His physical strength had been severely tested.
“If you’re tired, go back and rest early.” Wen Xin stood up and went to pay the bill.
Du Luqing wanted to grab the bill , but Zhuge Jingming stopped him.
“Let her pay the bill. She was the one who said she would treat us to a meal today. It’s not easy to get a meal that she’s treating us.”
Zhuge Jingming and Wen Xin had known each other for many years, and he had also called Wen Xin Little Martial Uncle for over ten years. This was the first time Wen Xin was treating him to a meal, and she could not allow his disciple to snatch the opportunity.
Looking at Zhuge Jingming’s mischievous look, Du Luqing sighed softly. “Master, we are two grown men. Letting a little girl treat us to a meal is a little embarrassing!”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? She’s more senior than me, so it’s only right for me to eat her food.”
Zhuge Jingming drank the tea with a smug expression. At this moment, he felt that the tea leaves tasted much better.
After Wen Xin sent Zhuge Jingming and Du Luqing to the car, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she called Chu Yunxuan out to eat rice noodles.
This was the first time Chu Yunxuan had gone out to eat with Wen Xin since she declared a cold war.
Wen Xin took a taxi to a stall selling rice noodles. Chu Yunxuan was already sitting in a corner, slowly eating her rice noodles and holding a sesame seed cake in her hand.
This time, there was no exaggerated makeup or eye-catching clothes. She was dressed in a black suit and looked a little serious.
Wen Xin walked over and sat down. As she had just finished eating, she did not order anything and simply sat opposite Chu Yunxuan.
“Why did you suddenly think of eating rice noodles? I’ve been texting you recently, but you didn’t reply.”
“Am I in a one-sided cold war with you?” Chu Yunxuan asked, taking a bite of her sesame seed cake and casting a slightly annoyed glance at Wen Xin.
Wen Xin couldn’t help but chuckle at Chu Yunxuan’s vengeful look. “Alright, I pretended to be asleep that day to make Mu Chengxi’s life difficult. I noticed that Mu Chengxi wasn’t looking too well. If he asked me why I was so sleepy, I wouldn’t have known how to answer, so I pretended to be asleep. Who would have thought that he would catch me when I got into the elevator?”
“Hmph, I believe you? Don’t you just like to see Mu Chengxi nervous because of you? Do you know that Mu Chengxi has been investigating me ever since he brought you out of my apartment? If you hadn’t encrypted my information, he would have really dug me out. You would be in danger then!”
Chu Yunxuan was taken aback when Yan Qing mentioned someone was looking into her. It was no small feat to have caught Yan Qing’s attention. Chu Yunxuan did a reverse search and found out that the person investigating her was Mu Chengxi.
In response to Chu Yunxuan’s accusation, Wen Xin raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “He won’t find out anything about you. Don’t worry, you’re my friend. Although he thinks you’re dangerous, he won’t do anything to you.”
“Dangerous? How can I be more dangerous than you? Danger is right in front of him, and he still thinks I’m the one who put you in danger. How ridiculous.”
Chu Yunxuan became increasingly displeased with Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi the more she thought about them. It was clear that the two were in a romantic relationship, and as a result, she was treated as the villain. Chu Yunxuan had to be cautious about being caught for something she shouldn’t have done by Mu Chengxi.
Recently, she did not dare to seduce boys in bars anymore. There was no fun in it.
“I called you out because I have something to tell you. I’ve recently discovered the movements of the Dark Shadow Organization. They have a batch of goods in a warehouse near the dock of Ancient Town Square. I estimate that they will make a move within ten days. I want you to bring someone to help me keep an
eye on them. Tell me if there’s any news.”
Wen Xin’s expression was extremely serious. She could only tell Chu Yunxuan about this news and ask her to help her keep an eye on the surroundings. If too many people went, it would attract attention.
“Where did you get this information? Truth Listener didn’t receive any news.”
Chu Yunxuan was a little surprised. She believed that Di Ting’s information was the most comprehensive and accurate. If Di Ting didn’t know, she was worried that it was a trap.
“It’s an informant…” Wen Xin’s tone was very light, so light that if a gust of wind blew, Chu Yunxuan might not even be able to hear what Wen Xin was saying.
“Are you sure? Is it reliable? You won’t be tricked, right?”
At this moment, Chu Yunxuan’s entire person became serious. She knew that this matter was no small matter. If she accidentally stepped into the enemy’s trap, it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed.
“Calm down. You just need to observe the situation nearby. Don’t act rashly. I’ll arrange for others to do the rest.”
Wen Xin’s eyes were filled with determination. She had also thought that it was a trap when she suddenly received news about that person. After all, they had not contacted each other for the past three years.
Later, she discovered that the Shadow League she had been looking for had changed. That person had gone from a small character to a deputy league leader.
He had also seen the news of the Shadow Alliance being searched for on the Black Net and thought that Wen Xin was looking for him, so he contacted Wen Xin.
“I’ll set off early tomorrow morning. I heard that a tourist area is being built near Ancient Square Town. I’ll treat this as a fact-finding trip.”
Chu Yunxuan had already planned out what identity she would use to go there. She had done this kind of thing many times and was very familiar with it.
“I’ll send you the detailed address. Be careful. If anything goes wrong, leave first. Don’t get yourself in danger.”
Her childhood memories had made Wen Xin somewhat wary of the Shadow Alliance. She had not had the time to understand how far that faction had developed, but with her own people, she felt very assured..
