“Those people should be the subordinates of Continent F’s overlord. Have you heard of Continent F’s overlord?”
“The overlord of Continent F? Isn’t Continent F Mu Chengxi’s territory? How come there’s another overlord now?”
Hearing Yan Qing’s words, Chu Yunxuan was somewhat confused. She wasn’t particularly clear on intelligence matters, but she had specifically looked into Mu Chengxi of Continent F because of Wen Xin’s relationship with him. She wanted to check Mu Chengxi’s identity.
“The power structure in Continent F is especially complex, with the largest force being Mu Chengxi. However, Mu Chengxi’s domain is only in the western part of Continent F, occupying one-third of the territory…
“The remaining two-thirds are under the jurisdiction of Continent F’s overlord, with all the scattered forces under his control.”
Di Ting had spent about half a year to clarify the distribution of powers in Continent F, where Mu Chengxi’s influence is already terrifying.
Although the overlord of Continent F doesn’t control Mu Chengxi, to Mu
Chengxi, the overlord is also someone he wouldn’t dare to confront lightly.
That’s why Continent F has been so peaceful and developed so rapidly over the years.
After listening to Yan Qing’s explanation, Chu Yunxuan felt even more fortunate she hadn’t acted against that rugged man. She was also very curious about the consequences for those who did.
“We better not get involved in this matter. Di Ting itself is an entity they are very cautious of. If the two of us were caught, even if the boss intervened, we might not escape unscathed.”
Yan Qing understood the layout and power dynamics of Continent F well. They had indeed been too arrogant recently, especially after rejecting several of their business offers, leading to more people investigating them. It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Yan Qing. Although she didn’t want to cause trouble, she wasn’t afraid of it. She blinked her beautiful eyes at Yan Qing, “If we add our forces in Continent M to Mu Chengxi’s, do you think we stand a chance against the overlord of Continent F?”
“Add Mu Chengxi?” Yan Qing was incredulous at Chu Yunxuan’s suggestion. Mu Chengxi is from Continent F; why would he help them? Was Chu Yunxuan dreaming?
Why would Mu Chengxi possibly help us? We’ve rejected several of his orders. They hold grudges. If they caught us, getting off without a beating would already be lucky, let alone helping us. How could that be possible?”
“You’ll find out later. Let’s head back to the hotel for now. The matters of Continent F aren’t our concern. Let’s go.” Chu Yunxuan patted Yan Qing’s shoulder mysteriously, her expression unreadable but smug, as she headed towards the hotel.
Yan Qing stood watching Chu Yunxuan’s retreating figure, feeling that ever since she returned from Wen Xin’s side, she was full of secrets, always so mysterious, making his already restless heart even more eager to meet Wen Xin.
The next morning, after dealing with the matters of the Geng family in Ice City, Mu Bei hurried back to the capital. He picked up an item at the capital’s airport and headed straight to Lanzhi.
In the elevator, Mu Bei ran into that female neighbor again.
The neighbor was somewhat surprised to see Mu Bei; she thought he had sold the apartment to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi and wouldn’t appear in this complex again.
“Hi, I thought I wouldn’t see you again!” The neighbor initiated a conversation with Mu Bei. She had missed the opportunity to ask for his contact information last time and didn’t want to miss it again.
Mu Bei was pressing the button for the floor when he heard a woman take the initiative to hit on him. His hand on the elevator button hesitated for a moment before he turned his head to look at the woman.” Are you talking to
“Yeah, last time I saw you busy buying furniture for your house, and a few days later, someone else was living there. I thought I wouldn’t see you again!”
The woman’s tone was full of regret, her gaze eagerly fixed on Mu Bei, making no attempt to hide her admiration.
Mu Bei wasn’t new to such situations, instinctively stepping back. The woman was too enthusiastic, making him somewhat afraid.
“Sorry, that wasn’t actually my place. I was just purchasing furniture for my boss. Don’t overthink it; I’m just a worker, not worth your enthusiasm.”
As Mu Bei finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. He quickly dodged past the woman and ran out, heading straight for Mu Chengxi’s apartment.
When the woman saw Mu Bei’s flustered look, she was not in a hurry to chase after him. She crossed her arms around her chest and looked in Mu Bei’s direction meaningfully. She liked this man.
Standing at the door of Mu Chengxi’s home, Mu Bei forcefully patted his chest. This woman was indeed a bit frightening. No wonder Master Xi didn’t like being pursued.
At that moment, the door was opened from the inside, and Liang Luoyu stood in front of it, looking at Mu Bei’s startled face. “Are you being chased for debts?
Why that expression?”
“No, it’s nothing. Young Master Liang, how come you’re here at Master Xi’s so early?”
Mu Bei was surprised to see Liang Luoyu. He glanced at the time; it was just after eight o’clock. According to Miss Wen’s habits, this should be just the time to wake up.
“I just came to deliver breakfast. Mu Dong is not at home.”
Hearing that Mu Dong was not at home, Mu Bei’s eyes lit up, forgetting the incident just now. He immediately pushed past Liang Luoyu, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.
At this time, Wen Xin was having breakfast with Mu Chengxi. Liang Luoyu was initially planning to leave, but seeing Mu Bei excitedly entering the living room, he became curious. So, he closed the door and followed him in. “Master Xi, since Mu Dong is not here, do I still need to go back to Ice City?”
Not seeing Chengxi in the living room, Mu Bei headed to the dining room.
Indeed, in the dining room, Mu Chengxi was taking care of Wen Xin’s meal.
Hearing Mu Bei’s voice, Mu Chengxi looked up at Mu Bei, disregarding what
Mu Bei said, just giving him a faint look. “Did you bring back the thing I asked
“I brought it back.” Mu Bei remembered the real reason for his visit, quickly took out a delicate red cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi put down his chopsticks, took the red cloth bag from Mu Bei, and gently opened it. Seeing the jade emitting a red glow inside, he paused slightly.
Wen Xin noticed his action and also put down her chopsticks, looking towards Mu Chengxi.
“What’s that?”
“It’s the Warm Jade I bought for you, hoping it will be useful for your health.” Mu Chengxi placed the Warm Jade in front of Wen Xin, who squinted slightly at the jade..
