Wen Xin left the dining hall and found a quiet spot to call Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan was surprised to receive Wen Xin’s call but didn’t intend to hide anything from her.
“It was indeed Geng Zewei who took Yuan Junye. I’ve located Geng Zewei’s current whereabouts. I’m preparing to take people there directly. You don’t need to worry about this; I have enough manpower to bring Yuan Junye back safely.”
Wen Xin knew that Chu Yunxuan had recently brought in quite a few people from Continent M, so she wasn’t worried about her. However, Wen Xin found Geng Zewei’s appearance unusual.
“When you go to rescue Yuan Junye, don’t forget to bring Geng Zewei back as well. Make sure to capture all his men too, so he won’t have a chance to regroup.”
Since Wen Xin had blown up his villa, she had only received sporadic news about Lucas and then nothing at all. Now, with Geng Zewei appearing in Beijing, Wen Xin couldn’t help but wonder if the Shadow Alliance had a presence there too.
“Don’t worry. My team is ready. I’ll let you know once we have them.”
Chu Yunxuan was anxious and hung up the phone. She didn’t want to waste time, unable to predict what might happen if they were late.
Mu Chengxi found Wen Xin crouching in a corner. He walked over, holding his car keys and carrying Wen Xin’s backpack.
“Should we head back to the city?”
“You know?”
Wen Xin turned her head, looking at Mu Chengxi standing beside her, her brows furrowed with a hint of confusion.
“I don’t know what’s happening, but I know handling it here is inconvenient. It’ll be easier in the city.”
Mu Chengxi pulled Wen Xin up, holding her hand as they walked towards the parking lot.
“Will Xinyue be okay here alone?” Wen Xin glanced sideways, worried about Tan Xingyue.
“Don’t worry. Liang Luoyu will stay at the base. Xingyue won’t be mistreated.”
Mu Chengxi shifted from holding Wen Xin’s hand to wrapping an arm around her waist, leading her to his car and opening the passenger door for her.
Wen Xin hesitated briefly before getting in. She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Tan Xingyue, informing her that she had to leave and to contact Liang Luoyu if needed.
In the car, Wen Xin took out her heavy-duty phone from her backpack, transforming it into a mini-computer. A blue light projected onto her lap, forming a virtual keyboard.
Wen Xin quickly typed on the virtual keyboard, trying to find information on Geng Zewei. She worried that the tragedy that befell Tan’s father might happen to Yuan Junye.
Mu Chengxi, glancing sideways at Wen Xin, softly asked, “What happened?”
“Yuan Junye was kidnapped by Geng Zewei. Chu Yunxuan has already sent people to find him. I’m fine; don’t worry about me.”
Wen Xin looked away from the computer and turned to Mu Chengxi, her emotions now calmer.
“I was thinking too much earlier, which made me nervous. I feared my parents’ fate might repeat itself. But now I’m calm. Yuan Junye isn’t as significant as Uncle Tan, so he should be fine. Geng Zewei isn’t as formidable as Aiden.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with a complex expression. Hearing her worry for Yuan Junye stirred a pang of jealousy in his heart.
It wasn’t that he was unreasonable. His possessiveness was at play. In his mind, Wen Xin belonged to him alone.
Two hours later, Wen Xin sat in a café opposite Tianye Technology Group’s office building, staring idly out the window.
Her phone suddenly buzzed twice. Wen Xin checked it and saw a message from Chu Yunxuan. She quickly opened it.
“There was only Geng Zewei. Yuan Junye is missing, and Geng Zewei refuses to say anything…”
Reading the message, Wen Xin quickly replied: “Where are you now?”
“We’re in the Hongye Villa area. Do you want to come over? I’ll send you the location.”
Soon, Chu Yunxuan sent the location. Wen Xin glanced at it and handed her phone to Mu Chengxi. He took the phone and responded, “Let’s go,” before grabbing the keys and leading Wen Xin out.
Half an hour later, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi arrived at the Hongye Villa area. Mu Chengxi precisely located the villa where Chu Yunxuan’s team was.
He parked the car outside the villa, and they both got out. He carried Wen Xin’s backpack in one hand and held her hand with the other, trying to calm her anxiousness.
At the villa door, Wen Xin knocked lightly, and it soon opened.
The person who opened the door recognized Wen Xin immediately. He was excited but, upon seeing the man beside her, quickly composed himself. He nodded at Wen Xin and let them in.
Ignoring everyone else, Wen Xin scanned the living room and coldly asked, “Where is Chu Yunxuan?”
“In the basement… The man is very stubborn, refusing to say where Brother Yuan was taken. Miss Chu is interrogating him.”
“Take me there.”
Wen Xin took her backpack from Mu Chengxi and pulled out two silver needles, handing the bag back to him.
The man nodded and led Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi to the basement.
At the staircase, Mu Chengxi smelled a strong scent of blood, causing him to frown instinctively. He gripped Wen Xin’s hand, positioning her behind him protectively.
“He recognized you…”
“Am I afraid? I kept him alive to fish out the people behind him. But now, there’s no need to keep him around.”
“I want to know why he’s in Beijing, if he has any accomplices here, and where Yuan Junye is.”
Wen Xin’s dark eyes gleamed with determination. She wouldn’t let anyone who threatened her or her loved ones get away. Even if that person had value, to her, they only had one path: death.
Seeing the resolve in Wen Xin’s eyes, Mu Chengxi understood the man’s fate. Holding Wen Xin’s hand, he followed her into the basement.
