When Wen Xin spoke with Alfredo, she didn’t waste any words. There were no pleasantries, just a clear explanation of the issues.
“Alright, I’ll have someone arrange it,” Alfredo replied weakly. He had been tormented by hackers for the past three days, and his mental state was frazzled.
He began to suspect that Wen Xin might have been orchestrating things during this time.
“Okay, go ahead and arrange it. Send me the flight information, and I’ll have someone track it. Don’t let me down!” Wen Xin ended the call abruptly.
She knew Alfredo’s character well; his commitment to his word was the only reason she engaged with him.
Wen Xin instructed her team at Truth Listener to start installing a cybersecurity system for the Independent State and even kindly assisted with network repairs.
Watching the data on the control platform, she saw everything was within her control. Her efforts over the past three days had not been in vain.
Just then, Wen Xin’s phone buzzed again. With her slender fingers, she opened the message. It was flight information and a picture of Yuan Junye in a wheelchair.
Wen Xin narrowed slightly, noticing that Yuan Junye seemed injured. She doubted Alfredo had the guts to harm him.
Wen Xin forwarded the flight information to Chu Yunxuan, who knew exactly what needed to be done next.
“I’m going to get some sleep. Contact Nan Xu directly when Yuan Junye arrives. I’ll visit him at the hospital after I wake up,” Wen Xin instructed Chu Yunxuan gently, noting her fatigue.
“Is he injured? Didn’t they say the Independent State wouldn’t harm him?” Chu Yunxuan’s already poor mood worsened upon hearing about Yuan Junye’s injury.
“Wen Xin, I can’t understand why you would set up a security system for the Independent State. Even if it’s for Yuan Junye, now that he’s injured, how can you remain so calm?”
Wen Xin looked at the agitated Chu Yunxuan with a cool gaze and patiently explained, “My security system has its purpose. As for Yuan Junye’s injury, it wasn’t caused by the Independent State. He must have been hurt before heading there. Don’t worry, their medical technology is advanced. He’ll be fine.”
“The plane won’t arrive for another ten hours. Get some rest before picking him up. I’m heading back now,” Wen Xin said, leaving the workspace.
Mu Bei, waiting in the Tianye Technology lounge, stood up respectfully when he saw Wen Xin. “Miss Wen.”
“Let’s go home and rest. I’m hungry; arrange some food for me,” Wen Xin instructed as she walked out. Staff members watched her with admiration, fully aware of her status.
Back home, Wen Xin ate the meal Mu Bei brought and went to her room. Instead of resting, she opened her laptop and connected to the Independent State’s security network.
Watching the bytes on the screen, she realized all the big data of the Independent State was now under her control.
Her plan was advancing smoothly.
Satisfied with her progress, Wen Xin stretched and went to the bathroom. Her phone on the table flashed, but she didn’t notice as she was already in the bathroom.
When Wen Xin woke up the next afternoon, she lay in bed for a while before sitting up. She looked dazed, appearing somewhat lost.
Mu Chengxi entered the room, saw her, and handed her a glass of warm water.
“Awake?”
“Mm, when did you get back?” Wen Xin asked, sipping the water Mu Chengxi handed her before returning the glass.
“I came back early this morning. I messaged you last night, but you didn’t reply. I figured you were resting, so I didn’t call. Is everything done?” Mu Chengxi asked, sitting beside her and leaning on the bed.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s enchanting face, pinched his cheek, then hugged his neck, pulling him onto the bed. Her small hands were fidgeting restlessly as she pinched his body.
“How is Wen Huai? Did you come back right after sending him?”
“Wen Huai is doing well. He started handling things as soon as he reached Ghost’s Domain. Mu Nan is with him, so there won’t be any issues,” Mu Chengxi replied, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.
He placed his hand on Wen Xin’s waist, preventing her from escaping. “But… I have a problem now. You…”
Mu Chengxi’s words were cut off as Wen Xin kissed him, silencing him.
They tangled passionately.
By the time they woke up again, it was past 8 PM. Finding no one in the living room, Wen Xin suggested, “Let’s go out for dinner and visit Yuan Junye in the hospital.”
Chu Yunxuan had informed them of Yuan Junye’s return via text and expressed curiosity about how he got caught.
“What do you want to eat? I’ll book a restaurant,” Mu Chengxi asked, holding Wen Xin’s hand as he helped her put on her shoes.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, who was kneeling to help her with her shoes, her gaze settling on his wrist. Taking out her phone, she checked the date, pondering how to celebrate Mu Chengxi’s upcoming birthday in a way befitting his love over the past year and a half.
Noticing Wen Xin’s silence, Mu Chengxi looked up from his kneeling position, concerned. “Is something wrong?”
“No, just checking the date,” Wen Xin replied, showing Mu Chengxi her phone screen to reassure him.
