Chapter 827: Chapter 826: MI, Ranked Third on the Hit List
Xiao Mi looked at Wen Xin, a flicker of expectation in her eyes; it seemed Wen Xin could see the desire to become Sun Miao’s student reflected there.
“That’s for you to decide. If you want to learn medical arts from her, you can become her apprentice. That’s your freedom,” Wen Xin said.
Actually, in Wen Xin’s plan, she had wanted Xiao Mi to study with Nan Xu, but recent events had been too numerous, and she hadn’t had the chance to arrange it.
“Then, when I return to school, I’ll talk to Teacher Sun about it.”
Xiao Mi, hearing Wen Xin’s approval of her becoming Sun Miao’s apprentice, was truly happy. Although she didn’t know the grudges between Wen Xin and Sun Miao, she could sense that Sun Miao was quite afraid of Wen Xin.
After the two of them chatted casually, there was a knock at the door. After just one knock, someone pushed the door open and entered—Sun Ning came in holding a bottle of IV fluid.
“Little princess, it’s time for your infusion.”
As he spoke, Sun Ning couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Mi, who was sitting by Wen Xin’s bedside. However, he quickly averted his gaze and started Wen Xin’s IV.
After setting up Wen Xin’s IV, Sun Ning casually updated her on Chu Yunxuan’s condition. Chu Yunxuan had multiple bone fractures and severe internal injuries; Nan Xu wanted to take her back to M Continent for treatment.
“Hmm, taking Yun Xuan back to M Continent for treatment is indeed the best approach right now. Arrange a chartered jet. It’s best not to jostle her during the trip,” Wen Xin agreed.
Transportation was a tricky issue, as Wen Xin knew all too well—after all, there was no direct flight from Beijing to M Continent.
“I’ll handle the flight arrangements; you just need to confirm the timing,” Mu Chengxi said.
With that, Mu Chengxi took out his phone and quickly dialed the airline’s number, confirming flight information and arranging a special route in no time.
Listening to Mu Chengxi communicate with the airline, Sun Ning was dumbfounded. His understanding of Mu Chengxi was refreshed once again; Mu Chengxi was indeed a true big shot. If there was no route, he’d just have one added—that seemed like something only a deity could do!
God knows how difficult it is to solve a route problem—if it could have been done, it would have been added already. Why wait until today?
But the miracle happened today. Sun Ning heard it clearly—the airline promised Mu Chengxi a feasible route plan within twenty-four hours.
After Mu Chengxi hung up the phone, he looked up at Sun Ning, “The airline will have a direct route planned within twenty-four hours. Just arrange the details and give me a specific time.”
Watching Mu Chengxi, Sun Ning slowly raised his hand, giving Mu Chengxi a thumbs-up, “Truly impressive. I’ll make arrangements right away, and we can depart in two days at the earliest!”
After Sun Ning left, there was something off about Xiao Mi’s expression. She made up an excuse and hurriedly rushed off.
Her departure was hasty, and both Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin exchanged glances, feeling that something was amiss, yet they couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Just as Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin were still puzzled over why Xiao Mi had left in such a hurry, Sun Ning suddenly burst back in from outside. Pointing at the seat where Xiao Mi had just been sitting, he asked urgently yet excitedly.
“Where’s the little girl that was just here?” Sun Ning blurted out, his emotions escalating quickly, and his voice involuntarily rising in pitch.
Wen Xin looked at Sun Ning’s excited demeanor, propped herself up with her arms and sat up in bed, resting her arm in a cast on one bent leg.
“What’s wrong? She left, do you know her?” Wen Xin’s dark and bright eyes suddenly grew heavy, as she had just sensed something off about Xiao Mi’s emotions. Seeing Sun Ning like this, Wen Xin seemed to guess the reason why Xiao Mi had suddenly left.
She had seen Sun Ning’s panic.
“I honestly didn’t recognize her when she came out, but she’s the world’s third-ranked assassin, MI. Have you heard about the T-country tycoon’s family who was wiped out? That was MI’s doing, and she’s from the Wen family base.”
As Sun Ning said this, he pulled over a chair nearby and sat down, taking a deep breath before he began to explain Xiao Mi’s identity to Wen Xin.
“When I was thirteen, training at the base, I saw a little girl about four or five years old who was specially trained in the use of the Flying Dagger – her Flying Dagger skill was very special, it was a scalpel. That’s why my impression of her was extremely vivid.”
“Looking back now, twelve years have passed, and that little girl’s eyes were exactly like hers.”
“I didn’t recognize her at first when I saw her, but after I left the ward, I remembered her identity. There’s a wound on her arm, which she got while carrying out a mission when someone shot her.”
Listening to Sun Ning, a dangerous gleam flashed through Wen Xin’s dark, bright eyes. Indeed, she had seen that scar on Xiao Mi, and had even asked about it. Xiao Mi had explained it as a scar left from a wound sustained in a war-torn area.
“How can you be sure that the assassin MI is Xiao Mi?”
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin clench her hands tightly, her expression one of restrained emotion. Mu Chengxi stepped closer and embraced Wen Xin in his arms, knowing how she felt.
“There’s no need to be certain. I’ve treated her wound before, and her blood type is also quite rare – it’s golden blood. She nearly died back then, but thankfully, a Bai Family member who had control over blood separation technology saved her.”
“I just came over to remind you, her identity is dangerous, and you should be more cautious. If she’s getting close to someone, it definitely has a purpose.”
Sun Ning, looking at Wen Xin’s troubled expression, said nothing more, only raising his hand to lightly pat Mu Chengxi on the shoulder.
“Well, I’ve got to go for another matter, you two be careful!”
After Sun Ning left, Mu Chengxi released Wen Xin, then held her in his arms again, gently stroking her back to help her calm down as much as possible.
Wen Xin, now in Mu Chengxi’s arms, clasped his shirtfront tightly with both hands.
“How could she be so cruel? She’s already made us orphans. To think she even turned Xiao Mi into an assassin – how dare she!”
Wen Xin lay on Mu Chengxi’s chest, deliberately keeping her voice low to prevent it from carrying outside the hospital room.
But the pain in her heart felt as if it were about to engulf her. She had thought that, with their parents gone, she could exchange herself for their peace, but in the end… everything…
Mu Chengxi soothed Wen Xin softly, “But isn’t the person found now? From now on, I’ll be by your side and won’t let the Old Fox have a chance to get near them again. Everything will get better.”
Wen Xin lifted her head from Mu Chengxi’s arms to look at him, “It won’t be, she’s still within the Old Fox’s control; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come today.”
