Chapter 492: Mu Bei’s Humiliating Moment: “I Have My Pride Too”

Mu Bei suspected it might be a smaller force attempting a takeover. He even considered the possibility that it was agents from the Seven Powers alliance coming to dismantle Mu Chengxi’s scattered influence elsewhere.

In the quiet dungeon, the footsteps outside were especially clear to Mu Bei. He didn’t dare think about who might be approaching; he was utterly powerless to resist.

The sound of unlocking echoed from outside the door. Mu Bei held his breath, his gaze fixed on the direction of the entrance, eager to see who would come in.

“Why so nervous? Did you think someone was coming to kill you? Seems like your brain isn’t functioning very well.”

Mu Nan opened the tightly locked iron door, stepped inside, and burst into laughter upon seeing Mu Bei tensely peering through the bars.

Click. A sharp snapshot sound followed as Chu Yunxuan captured Mu Bei’s embarrassing moment and sent it to Wen Xin.

“Why is it you guys? Hurry up and let me out, and Miss Chu, what are you randomly taking pictures for!”

At this moment, Mu Bei was already feeling humiliated. If such a photo were circulated, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing? He had his pride too!

“Now you know what it feels like to be embarrassed? These are the people you trained yourself!”

While teasing Mu Bei, Mu Nan unlocked the dungeon door and let Mu Bei out.

“Master Xi instructed me to bring Miss Chu’s people to rescue you. You handle your people yourself. Master Xi said if there’s a next time, you’re on your own!”

Mu Bei shoved the keys into Mu Bei’s hands. The rescue was done, the spectacle was over, and it was about time to go back and arrange lunch for Miss Wen.

Master Xi had requested some nourishing and tasty food for Wen Xin, which was proving to be quite the challenge.

Back in the hospital room, Nan Xu changed Wen Xin’s dressing. Mu Chengxi watched the procedure; his brow furrowed tightly, and his face clouded with concern.

She called it a minor injury, but the bullet had penetrated her side; how could that be considered minor?

“Don’t worry, I have a special medicine. Just apply it, and it’ll be fine.”

Wen Xin had her backpack brought over, which contained special medication for her injuries. It wouldn’t be long before her wounds would begin to heal and scab over, so there was no need for concern.

“Even with your special medicine, you’re still injured and need to rest properly during this period. Your red blood cells are too low. I’ve brought medication for blood replenishment and post-operative recovery. You need to cooperate with the treatment.”

Nan Xu didn’t continue along the lines Wen Xin expected. She still believed Wen Xin’s condition shouldn’t be taken lightly; getting proper treatment was crucial, and everything else was secondary.

Hearing Nan Xu speak so, Mu Chengxi became even more anxious, his grip on Wen Xin’s hand unconsciously tightening.

Feeling Mu Chengxi’s intense grip, Wen Xin helplessly glared at Nan Xu, “Stop scaring him. The wound might be a bit deep, but it’s all superficial. It’s nothing serious.”

“What if it becomes serious? Who can replace you for me? Wen Xin, you’re the only thing I can’t afford to gamble on. I hope you understand!” Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand tightly, his deep and earnest eyes looking into hers, hoping she would not take her health lightly.

“Alright, alright, whatever you say goes, okay? I’ll listen to you guys!” Wen Xin, feeling helpless, compromised. She had no choice but to comply with whatever Mu Chengxi said.

After spending a few days in a hospital in N Port, Wen Xin was taken directly to Continent F by Mu Chengxi, where she stayed bedridden for half a month.

Only when Nan Xu repeatedly assured that Wen Xin’s wounds had nearly healed did Mu Chengxi allow her to get out of bed.

Granted permission, Wen Xin’s legs felt weak the moment she tried to stand. Mu Chengxi quickly stepped forward to support her, wrapping his arms around her.

“I told you to take it slow, but you wouldn’t listen…”

“If I lay there any longer, I’d become completely useless. I’m not that delicate; it’s you who’s made me too precious.”

Wen Xin gently pushed against Mu Chengxi with her elbow, signaling him to let go. She needed to exercise.

Watching from behind, Mu Chengxi’s eyes were filled with indulgent affection.

“Wen Huai’s training will be ending in a few days, and his acceptance letter from Beijing University has already reached your aunt. Once you’ve recovered a bit more, do you want to go wait for him at the M Organization’s headquarters?”

“Wait for him? Are you done with your work? Can we go back now?”

After walking a few steps, Wen Xin was moving freely. She turned to look at Mu Chengxi, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She had been monitoring Wen Huai’s training and was eager to see her seemingly delicate but strong brother.

“Yes, all the delegates have been sent off, and the deals are settled. The trivial matters, I’ve left to Gu Yanzhe and Liang Luoyu to handle. Everything else is under control.”

Mu Chengxi had originally planned to take Wen Xin back to Jing City for recovery, but the complications in Continent F were a bit tricky. While capable, Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe didn’t carry enough authority, prompting Mu Chengxi to return to Continent F with Wen Xin.

“Then let’s go see. How’s Zhao Yuyao doing in his training? Has he been calling to go home?”

Wen Xin brought in Zhao Yuyao on short notice, and if he was having a hard time adjusting, it was understandable since he had always been the young master at home.

“He’s doing quite well, not as exceptional as Wen Huai but steadily progressing. He’s already in the intermediate classes, and his acceptance letter also arrived. He’s chosen to stay in Beijing, studying finance as you requested.”

Mu Chengxi was somewhat surprised by Zhao Yuyao’s performance. He had thought Zhao would want to go home after the basic training, but instead, he had actively applied to continue to the intermediate class.

“Then you handle what’s left, and we can go pick them up and head home together. I’m suddenly looking forward to university life.”

During Wen Xin’s recovery, Tan Xingyue was also on tour. With Wen Xin and Liang Luoyu away from the capital, Ling Xu’Er and Wen Zhimo had taken on the responsibility of looking after Tan Xingyue.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated. Mu Chengxi glanced over and noticed a small red dot flashing on the screen, his brow raising slightly out of curiosity.

Wen Xin walked over to the bed to pick up her phone. She tapped on the flashing red dot and was surprised to see that Lucas had reached out to her.

“Sorry, it took so long to contact you. The Shadow Alliance has been in disarray recently. Did you hear that Aiden is dead?”

“Just yesterday, Geng Zewei returned to the Shadow Alliance to demand information about Aiden’s whereabouts from the new leader. We just got a chance to return to the headquarters. My power has been growing, and I’m ready to make a move. I want to collaborate with you.”
