As she spoke, Gu Xiang couldn’t wait to leave the private room, as if she really had some urgent matter that required her immediate departure.
The first thing Gu Xiang did upon leaving the restaurant was to send Wen Xin a WeChat message.
“I met some foreign men at Jiang Linyan’s dinner party. She said they were her classmates, but I think I’ve seen them on the hacker alliance’s list.”
Lying on the bed playing games, Wen Xin was slightly stunned upon receiving Gu Xiang’s message. With so many people in the hacker alliance, it was no surprise that Jiang Linyan knew a few.
However, Wen Xin didn’t ignore Gu Xiang. She exited her game to reply with a question mark, unclear about what Gu Xiang meant.
“Ah, how could someone as smart as you not think of it? Given Jiang Linyan’s status, the people around her are all involved in important matters. If they are hackers, then you’re not safe!”
Reading Gu Xiang’s response, Wen Xin instantly understood. It seemed Gu Xiang was worried that Jiang Linyan might target her. Wen Xin chuckled indifferently.
“My security system is the safest in the world. If they had the ability to infiltrate my system, then your master wouldn’t be the president of the hacker alliance. Don’t worry, it’s all good!”
Wen Xin’s words calmed Gu Xiang down. After giving it some thought, she realized Wen Xin was right.
During their development of the medical robots, their system had endured countless attacks, yet no one succeeded.
Seeing that Gu Xiang stopped replying, Wen Xin returned to her game interface, only to find her character had already died. She lost interest in continuing the game.
She checked the Class 20 group chat to see the status of her classmates and their study atmosphere.
“Wen Huai, let me see your physics paper. There’s a question I don’t understand. I can’t grasp Tan Xingyue’s solution,” Zhao Yuyao called out to Wen Huai in the group chat.
“Brother Yao, Brother Huai’s physics papers are all with me. Which set do you need? I’ll send it to you,” the boy with a watermelon head quickly replied to Zhao Yuyao, and the two started discussing the physics problem.
Wen Xin scrolled to the bottom of the chat and saw a message from Miao Xianhe: “Everyone, make sure to wrap up things related to the exam venue before 3 pm tomorrow. The venue will be sealed after 3 pm. Wishing everyone success in the college entrance examination!”
Reading the short message, Wen Xin felt deeply moved. When she first brought Tan Xingyue to Ice City First Middle School, everyone was just starting their senior year. Now, they were all about to take the college entrance examination.
A lot had happened over the year, but what touched Wen Xin the most was how many important people had come into her life.
Wen Xin hadn’t shared the news of her return with them, not wanting to affect their exam mood. She planned to treat them to a big meal after their exams.
Mu Chengxi climbed onto the bed from behind Wen Xin and hugged her, “What are you thinking about so deeply?”
“I was just thinking how quickly time flies. It’s already been a year and three months since we met.”
Leaned into Mu Chengxi’s embrace, her usually sharp and bright eyes softened, her gaze enchanting, almost bewitching, making Mu Chengxi naturally think of her as a well-behaved treasure.
“Time does fly indeed, but the nights have been exceptionally long. My little ancestor, I’ve missed you so much these past months…”
Mu Chengxi had been dealing with matters in Continent F for over a month, and Wen Xin haunted his dreams every night. It was then he realized his love for Wen Xin had reached an obsessive level; he couldn’t bear the thought of living without her.
Wen Xin hugged Mu Chengxi’s neck, turned over to lie on top of him, and kissed him on the lips. It was a simple action, but it was as if the seal on the werewolf had been removed…
The next morning, Liang Luoyu arrived early, carrying a huge suitcase, while Mu Bei was preparing breakfast for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi in the living room.
“Liang Shao, what’s with the giant suitcase?” asked Mu Bei.
“It’s for Xingyue. She’s finished her exams and is about to join a piano tour. I brought some food and necessities, worrying she might not adapt well. Have Master Xi and Wen Xin not woken up yet?”
Alerted by Liang Luoyu’s voice, Wen Xin glanced at the suitcase beside him as she came downstairs.
“You seem to have forgotten that Xingyue’s tour starts right here in Beijing.
Why all the fuss? And the tour is half a month away.”
Wen Xin’s gaze was filled with disdain. She had heard that Liang Luoyu had nearly become Tan Xingyue’s personal caretaker, and she was so dismayed by his actions that she found herself at a loss for words.
“I hadn’t heard. I’ve been in Continent F recently, and no one told me about her schedule. I only knew she was going on the tour after her exams.”
As he explained, Liang Luoyu looked somewhat hurt, his concern likely muddling his judgment, not wanting to disturb Tan Xingyue at this time.
Sitting down to eat, Wen Xin glanced at Liang Luoyu, “Are you preparing to accompany Tan Xingyue for her exams?”
“Yes, aren’t you also going to Ice City to accompany Tan Xingyue and Wen Huai for their exams? What, aren’t you planning to go anymore?”
Each time Liang Luoyu spoke with Wen Xin, he felt like a fool, unable to grasp the underlying meanings in her words.
As expected, Wen Xin looked at him as if he were foolish, leaving him flustered and unsure of what else to say.
Wen Xin lowered her head to eat, browsing the dark web on her phone with one hand. Recently, there hadn’t been any news there that caught her interest.
The Shadow Alliance had only issued a bounty for the Miracle Doctor but had been quiet otherwise. Even Geng Zewei maintained a low profile.
As for Geng Qiu, her liver transplant wasn’t entirely successful, but it sustained her basic life and physical strength. However, due to Geng Zewei’s resentment, her life was far from easy, and she was forced to live quietly.
Su Li’s mental state hadn’t been great after hearing about Yang Jingyan’s death. She had attempted to escape twice, only to be caught and brought back each time, even threatening to sue for restricting her freedom.
After a while, Wen Xin felt disappointed by the lack of news about the Shadow Alliance on the dark web.
It seemed she would have to venture into the tiger’s den herself to face the culprit behind past events..
