“I’ll head to N Port now, handle the manor’s affairs, and then fetch Miss Wen back.” Mu Bei stood up, eager to make amends, feeling fortunate not to have received any punishment from Mu Chengxi, which he considered a generous reprieve.
“Okay,” Mu Chengxi responded indifferently, not paying much attention to Mu Bei as he turned to discuss some aspects of the Seven-Party Talks with Gu Yanzhe.
After breakfast, Wen Xin returned to her room. Just as she walked in, her phone began to vibrate. Glancing at the caller ID, she slightly curved her lips and paused for a few seconds before answering.
“Master Drunk, I just got a call from the tech department saying you modified the remote control system and the anti-interference system without notice. Are you planning to sell our Refined Guide-7008?”
Barry’s voice was filled with excitement. Ever since Wen Xin had precisely obliterated the Jason family, various powers had been seeking to purchase weapons from Institute 26, especially the Refined Guide-7008. However, Wen Xin had not agreed to sell it.
“No, I need it for myself. Have someone load two of the smallest shells into it for me. I’ve calculated their explosive power; it should be just right and not affect the neighbors.”
Wen Xin’s calm voice sounded like a bombshell to Barry. He was eager to know who had provoked Master Drunk this time since she was even considering the neighbors’ feelings in her plans to bomb someone.
“What? Is there a problem?” Wen Xin asked lazily, not hearing Barry’s reply.
“No…no problem, Master Drunk. We at Institute 26 sell weapons, not run a missile launch site. Could you please be a little more careful? One missile is very expensive!”
Barry felt pained just thinking about how casually Wen Xin used such expensive items. These missiles weren’t cheap, and playing with them wasn’t affordable.
“Are you suggesting that I should build a missile launch site? That’s actually not a bad idea. You go research where might be suitable…”
Wen Xin didn’t have much time to waste arguing with Barry. She hadn’t realized before how indecisive he could be, and it was starting to irritate her.
Sensing Wen Xin’s annoyance, Barry was too frightened to speak further and quickly agreed to prepare the smallest missiles.
“Master Drunk, I’ll arrange it right now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Without waiting for Wen Xin’s response, Barry hurriedly ended the call, fearing he might end up dead for talking too much.
Wen Xin casually threw her phone on the bed, opened her suitcase, and changed into pure black clothes, throwing on a black windbreaker.
She grabbed her backpack, pulled out a pack of medical silver needles and a white vial, and placed them in her pocket before leaving the room and heading downstairs.
When she descended, Chu Yunxuan and Yan Yu were also ready. Chu Yunxuan wore a striking Barbie pink jacket, while Yan Yu’s attire was much more normal and understated, similar to Wen Xin’s.
“Are we ready to go?”
Now aware of Wen Xin’s identity, Yan Yu was even more meticulous in her arrangements to ensure Wen Xin’s absolute safety.
“Yeah, let’s go,” Wen Xin said lazily, trailing behind the two, her steps carefree as if the trio were just going out for a casual stroll, completely unpressured.
Once in the car, Wen Xin’s phone beeped three times. She pulled it out of her pocket; it was a notification that the missile had been successfully loaded.
Wen Xin smirked contentedly and slid her phone back into her pocket, reflecting that threats often worked better than reminders.
The estate where Aiden stayed wasn’t far from Wen Xin’s current location. Terence drove smoothly, and with nothing else to do, Wen Xin pulled out her phone and started a game.
Half an hour later, after finishing her game, Terence’s car stopped in front of a detached villa. Wen Xin glanced sideways at Yan Yu and raised an eyebrow, “This is the estate you talked about? What do you think of my Tian Shu Manor then?”
Wen Xin internally noted that she had prepared too many missiles—one was already enough.
“It’s not really my fault… This ‘estate’ only has one villa; the rest isn’t built yet…”
Yan Yu was somewhat speechless, caught off-guard by Wen Xin’s question. She had checked the map before, and the area around it seemed quite large, but it turned out to be just one villa…
Wen Xin didn’t give Yan Yu a hard time. She glanced around the environment, stepped out of the car, and closely inspected the villa’s exterior.
Surveillance cameras covered every angle, and the front gate used the latest in black-gold technology, making it nearly impossible for unauthorized people to force their way in.
Wen Xin’s eyes finally rested on the high-tech iris scanner lock equipped with an automatic alarm system, noting its high security.
It seemed that Geng Zewei treated this adoptive father far better than his own biological father.
The black gate slowly opened, and a woman stepped out. Her attire was impeccably chic, exuding a powerful and competent aura.
“Which one of you is the divine doctor?”
“I am.”
Wearing a mask and a cap, Wen Xin stepped forward from behind Chu Yunxuan and Yan Yu, slightly bowing her head to keep her face hidden.
Seeing Wen Xin’s outfit and hearing her youthful voice made Gu Yutong start to doubt Wen Xin’s identity, questioning if she really was the legendary healer.
“Take off your mask and hat. Let me see your face to ensure you are not a threat.”
“Huh, what? You think recognizing our divine doctor by face is enough? Let me tell you, our doctor has a peculiar personality; it’s not as simple as you think to see her face. We’ve accepted this job, but that doesn’t mean you can make unreasonable demands. If you want this illness treated, follow our rules. Otherwise, we’re leaving.”
Yan Yu was feisty by nature and never allowed herself to be taken advantage of. As for Gu Yutong’s unreasonable demand, she was completely unwilling to comply.
“Let’s go back.”
“Wait a moment, I was rude just now. Please, come in.”
Gu Yutong, having heard Yan Yu speak, was already convinced that she was the person who had accepted the job. She trusted that people from Truth Listener wouldn’t deceive; otherwise, they wouldn’t have become the world’s number one intelligence network.
However, as she let the three enter, Gu Yutong subtly signaled her butler with a glance—if these three turned out to be frauds, she wouldn’t let them leave easily.
Gu Yutong led the three into the living room, instructing the butler to prepare tea for Yan Yu and Chu Yunxuan while she took Wen Xin upstairs to treat Aiden.
As they ascended the stairs, Gu Yutong deliberately stayed a step behind Wen Xin, still hoping to catch a glimpse of her face. Eventually, she met Wen Xin’s eyes—It was as if she was looking at a dead person.
