“Recently, there have been many complex issues in the Independent State. The security network there was heavily attacked, causing significant damage…”
“Later, I heard that Alfredo sought the Doll’s help to resolve the security network issues.”
“Just two days ago, the elder of the Jason family attempted to impeach Alfredo, causing quite a stir. I haven’t paid much attention to other matters. You might want to ask your uncle. He should know more since he’s in the cabinet…”
Tang Xiao shared what he knew with Wen Xin, though he hadn’t heard much else. He thought of his son, who should be more informed.
Wen Xin responded calmly, then hesitated, “Grandpa, I need to return to the Independent State. Can you arrange it for me? I don’t want to use my identity and alert my father’s family. Can you find a way?”
Just now, Wen Xin had a hunch with Yan Qing’s reminder. After searching so many places without finding Mu Chengxi, it seemed the only possibility left was that Mu Chengxi had been taken by people from the Independent State.
While their network security might not be the best, the Independent State’s other capabilities were formidable.
“You want to come back? And hide it from that old fox? I’ll need to make some arrangements. I’ll discuss it with your uncle right away.”
Tang Xiao was both happy and excited to hear that Wen Xin wanted to return to the Independent State. He had longed to see her but had refrained from visiting to avoid causing her unnecessary trouble. Now that she wanted to return, he would make sure everything was arranged properly to keep her presence a secret.
“Grandpa, I don’t have much time. I’m in a hurry to get to the Independent State. Please arrange it quickly. I need a response within an hour.”
Wen Xin sat on the sofa, rubbing her aching temples. If it weren’t for the concern that her identity might alert malicious people, she wouldn’t want to wait even a minute.
Without confirming whether Mu Chengxi was in the Independent State and safe, she didn’t dare to act rashly.
She couldn’t even trust Alfredo now. She could only rely on her one family member in the Independent State. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t involve the Tang family.
The Independent State was her last hope. She couldn’t bear to think what she would do if she couldn’t find Mu Chengxi there.
“Alright, wait for my news. Where are you now? Still in Z Country?”
Tang Xiao felt a pang of sadness hearing Wen Xin’s tone. It was the first time she had spoken to him like this.
He had seen Wen Xin wounded but unyielding, struggling on the brink of death, but never like this.
He realized she must be in serious trouble. As her grandfather, he would do everything to help her.
“Grandpa, I need to bring three people in. Arrange for them as well.”
“Okay, wait for my news. I’ll talk to your uncle right now. I promise you’ll get in,” Tang Xiao said as he walked out, knowing his granddaughter’s issue was paramount.
After hanging up, Wen Xin turned to see Yan Qing staring at her in disbelief. She knew she had shocked him a lot today but didn’t feel like explaining much.
“I know what you’re thinking and that it’s hard for you to accept all this at once. But you’re my most trusted partner. I need you to listen carefully.”
“I’m going to the Independent State to find Mu Chengxi. I need you, Chu Yunxuan, and Wales to come with me. When I set up the security system in the Independent State, I implanted a virus. I need you to help me find Mu Chengxi.”
“If Mu Chengxi was indeed taken by people from the Independent State, I will storm in there. It will be very dangerous. Are you afraid?”
While calling Tang Xiao, Wen Xin had already planned everything. She could risk her life for Mu Chengxi but couldn’t force her friends to do the same.
“Doll, am I the first to know about your connection with the Independent State?” Yan Qing looked at Wen Xin, slightly excited, blurting out the question impulsively.
“I’m explaining my plan, and you’re asking about this? Did you listen to me?” Wen Xin felt helpless with Yan Qing’s unusual thought process. Her calm mood turned impatient, and she didn’t want to repeat herself.
“I heard your plan. I just need to know if I’m the first to know! It’s important to me!”
Yan Qing’s brown eyes looked seriously at Wen Xin, who couldn’t understand his thoughts but finally answered earnestly.
“Yes, you’re the first to know. Not even Chu Yunxuan knows about my connection to the Independent State.”
“Alright, Boss. Just for this, I’ll fully cooperate with you. Get some rest. I’ll find Wales and notify Chu Yunxuan to return to Truth Listener in forty minutes. I’ll also arrange the plane.”
Yan Qing then hurriedly left the Doll’s office, excited to arrange everything for Wen Xin.
After he left, Wen Xin lay on the sofa, looking at a photo of Mu Chengxi she had secretly taken while he was asleep.
Forty minutes later, the phone on Wen Xin’s chest vibrated. She answered it and softly called, “Uncle…”
“Yes, I’ve arranged everything. I have a shipment heading to the Independent State. When will you leave Continent M? Your plane will land on a nearby island, and I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up and bring you in with the goods. No one will check.”
Hearing Wen Xin call him uncle made Tang Zijun a bit emotional. The last time she called him that was when he carried her out of the arena, three or four years ago.
“I can leave in ten minutes. It will take about an hour and a half to reach the nearby Zhujue Island from Continent M. The rest is up to you, Uncle.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything. I can’t leave the Independent State, but I can meet the shipment at the port. As long as I’m there, even that old fox won’t dare touch you!”
