Chapter 610: Don’t Mess with Me, or the Jason Family’s Fate Will Be Yours

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Make arrangements to send some gifts to the hospital. Tell them I’m not feeling well and can’t visit personally, but remind them to come home when they have time,” the old fox ordered.

The butler immediately understood his intentions. “I’ll handle it right away.”

Following the orders, the butler promptly prepared gifts, ensuring they would be satisfactory to Wen Xin.

Wen Xin sat on the bed, feeding Mu Chengxi apples. Moore sat on a nearby sofa, watching Wen Xin tenderly care for Mu Chengxi with an expression of disbelief.

No one would have imagined Wen Xin could be so gentle.

“Princess, what do you plan to do about the Jason family? After three days of rescue efforts, only four people from the Jason family were saved. The rest are…” Moore hesitated to continue, not wanting to upset Wen Xin.

“And there’s no sign of the Second Young Master. When the old man from the Jason family was rescued, he was barely alive. The doctors said his condition is not good,” Moore added, clearly troubled.

“If his condition is that bad, there’s no need to treat him. Keeping him alive would be a waste of air,” Wen Xin replied, placing a piece of watermelon in Mu Chengxi’s mouth and then wiping his lips with a napkin.

“You can investigate through the Wen family. They are in cahoots. It’s very likely the old fox hid him,” Wen Xin suggested, unfazed by the missing Second Young Master of the Jason family. She was not surprised; with the old fox around, he would not hand him over so easily.

“You think your old man hid him? That complicates things. You know I don’t have the authority to act against him,” Moore said, troubled. In the Independent State, only Alfredo and Wen Xin could take action against the old fox.

No one else had the power. Even the Elders Guild could not touch that old fox’s status, which was why he was so unscrupulous.

“I didn’t ask you to act. Just have someone keep an eye on the area. When he surfaces, capture him, or at least pinpoint his location for Alfredo,” Wen Xin replied, raising an eyebrow. Mu Chengxi’s improving condition had lightened her mood.

“Don’t joke around. You know Alfredo won’t offend the old fox. He brokered your engagement to Alfredo. He’ll persuade you to find another way,” Moore explained, knowing Alfredo’s reluctance to cross the old fox.

Moore knew Alfredo better than Alfredo himself. Every time, he thought that Alfredo would stand on Wen Xin’s side, but every time, he was disappointed. In the end, he simply gave up on Alfredo.

Wen Xin laughed, her mood brightened by Moore’s words. She began removing the golden needles from Mu Chengxi, placing them in a cloth bag made by her grandmother, which she was reluctant to discard despite its age.

Wen Xin took out a pill and placed it in Mu Chengxi’s mouth, then helped him drink some warm water to swallow it.

Mu Chengxi’s dark eyes shone as he looked at Wen Xin. Although he didn’t speak, she could guess his thoughts. She gently pinched his cheek and explained softly.

“The engagement was arranged by the old fox and Alfredo. It has nothing to do with me. I’ve already been promised to the Mu family in Beijing.”

She smiled at Mu Chengxi, showing him the ring on her finger. “Don’t worry, I won’t change my mind. I’m already committed.”

Mu Chengxi smiled back, but Moore groaned at their display. “Can you two stop flaunting your affection? It’s nauseating for a single guy like me. Are we still going to catch that person?”

“Of course, but he probably won’t be caught. The rest is up to you. Once his bandages come off, we’re heading back to Beijing. I need to return to school,” Wen Xin said, leaning lazily against the bed’s railing, giving Moore a matter-of-fact look.

Moore sighed, already anticipating Wen Xin would leave him with the task. He shouldn’t have asked.

At that moment, a nurse knocked on the door. Wen Xin stood up to answer.

“What is it?”

“There’s a butler at the nurse’s station with gifts and flowers, saying he’s here to visit Mr. Mu,” the nurse said cautiously, noting Wen Xin’s darkening expression.

“Tell him I don’t want to see him,” Wen Xin replied, already guessing the butler’s identity. That old fox was really capable of anything. Wasn’t he afraid that she would really make a move on the Wen Family in her agitation?

Before the nurse could respond, the butler appeared, carrying a large bouquet and followed by men with gift boxes.

“Eldest Miss, why didn’t you come home after returning to the Independent State? The master is worried about you. Your friend is injured; does he need the master’s help?” the butler asked, his demeanor overly friendly.

Seeing his fake concern, Wen Xin felt nauseated and couldn’t tolerate it anymore. “Get out!” she commanded.

As she spoke, several men in black emerged from nearby rooms and approached the butler.

“Miss, I came on the master’s orders. You can’t do this. It would be an insult to the master!” the butler protested, shocked by Wen Xin’s bluntness.

“He sent you? Then tell him this: don’t mess with me. I’m known for not sparing anyone, not even family. I’ve been independent since childhood and don’t need anyone’s interference. If he pushes me, the Wen family will end up like the Jason family!”

“Throw them out! If they resist, send them to the highest-security prison for defying the Eldest Miss!” Wen Xin’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty glint.

Seeing her determination, the butler fell silent. He knew Wen Xin was serious. If she could act against Alfredo, she wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to them.

The men in black lifted the butler and his entourage, carrying them out of the hospital and dumping them at the entrance.

As they left, the black-clad men took a photo of their disheveled state, ready to report back.
