Liang Luoyu’s unreliable comment drew the attention of the other two. Gu Yanzhe looked anxiously at Mu Chengxi, wanting to say something but holding back.

“If you’re worried, go check it out yourself. How would I know if Wen Xin is in the mood to hit someone?”

Mu Chengxi glanced at them lazily. His phone lit up at that moment, and he walked to the balcony to answer the call. It was from Wei Manqing, requesting Wen Xin to visit the old mansion for a meal. After Mu Chengxu met Wen Xin yesterday, she couldn’t stop praising her, prompting Wei Manqing and Old Madam Mu to express a desire to meet her as well.

“I’ll ask if she’s free. She’s been quite busy lately and doesn’t have much time.

I’ll bring her over when she’s available.”

Mu Chengxi declined the invitation on Wen Xin’s behalf, believing there was no need for her to meet them unless she wanted to. As long as Wen Xin was happy, the choice was hers.

Gu Yanzhe felt restless with Liang Luoyu’s words. He doubted Wen Xin would physically confront Gu Qiang but also wasn’t sure if she would seek retribution later. He knew Wen Xin was quite vengeful.

Just then, the doorbell rang again. Mu Dong came from the kitchen to answer it, surprised to find Ling Yichen and Nan Xu arriving.

” Young Master Ling, Miss Nan.”

“Yes, they’re all here!” Ling Yichen glanced at the two sitting in the living room, raising an eyebrow. He thought Gu Yanzhe would take a couple of days before daring to face Wen Xin again.

“Yes, Mr. Gu brought Miss Gu over to apologize. Mr. Liang came over early in the morning.” Mu Dong offered disposable slippers to Ling Yichen and Nan Xu.

“Why don’t I see Gu Qiang?” Ling Yichen was surprised that Gu Qiang would lower herself to apologize, knowing her notorious pride, especially after gaining some fame in the hacker community. She became arrogant and did not listen to anyone.

“Miss Gu and Miss Wen went upstairs to the study. Miss Wen has something to discuss with Miss Gu.”

“I’ll go up and see.” Nan Xu came specifically to see Wen Xin. Hearing Wen Xin was upstairs, she had no interest in greeting the men in the living room and headed straight up.

Approaching the study, Nan Xu heard the rapid and intense tapping of keyboard keys. Pushing the door gently, she saw Wen Xin, pale and seemingly uncomfortable, lounging on the sofa.

Noticing the study door opening, Wen Xin, despite her discomfort, sat up and patted the sofa beside her, inviting Nan Xu to sit.

“You look pale. Did you not sleep well last night?” Nan Xu asked, concerned about Wen Xin’s wellbeing but lacking the medical expertise to diagnose further. She did not have Wen Xin’s Chinese medicine skills and did not know how to feel his pulse. She could only ask questions to understand Wen Xin’s condition.

“It’s that time of the month. It always hurts, and I dislike taking painkillers. It’ll be better by tomorrow. What brings you here?”

Wen Xin glanced at the documents Nan Xu was holding, guessing she was here about Wei Shisheng’s hypnosis technique.

“Take a look at this document. I think her hypnosis technique is of this kind, but to last so long is rare. I’ve only seen one person use such a technique.”

Nan Xu’s expression tensed. If that person taught Wei Shisheng, then her hypnosis skills were more formidable than expected.

“Don’t worry. That person has been missing for over three years. Given her age, she wouldn’t have the energy to cause trouble, especially after the hit I gave her. It’s uncertain if she survived.’

“Actually, what Wei Shisheng used could only be considered a hypnosis spell. It’s still far from being a puppet spell. If it really was a puppet spell, she wouldn’t be able to wake up again. It seems like her ability is still very ordinary. ”

Wen Xin wasn’t overly concerned about Wei Shisheng, opting to keep a close watch rather than taking drastic actions. She did not allow Mu Chengxi to send Wei Shisheng away so that she could keep an eye on Wei Shisheng. If there were any unusual movements, she would be the first to know.

Wei Shisheng had secrets worth uncovering, and letting her go could pose a risk.

Leaning on Nan Xu, Wen Xin sighed, “I’m considering developing a medicine for menstrual cramps. It’s such a discomfort.”

Nan Xu smiled softly at Wen Xin’s comment on her medical prowess yet suffering from menstrual cramps without developing a remedy. ,” I’ve always been curious. You’re so skilled in medicine and you have menstrual cramps. Why didn’t you come up with a prescription yourself”

“I’ve been too lazy to spend time on such a minor issue. It’s just one day of pain each month…”

Standing, Wen Xin approached Gu Qiang, who was struggling with the programming code. Wen Xin’s initially enthusiastic demeanor turned serious.

“With your level, you managed to rank third at the Black Hat Conference? Who taught you your hacking skills?”

Wen Xin’s dissatisfaction was evident. She questioned Gu Qiang’s qualifications and the Black Hacker Alliance Chairman’s judgment on her potential. “I taught myself and met the Chairman of the Hacker Alliance by chance, who then taught me. I’m now a graduate student in the computer science department of Beijing University.”

Gu Qiang found Wen Xin’s program too challenging, unfamiliar with robotic programming codes.

Gu Xiang watched as Wen Xin tapped her finger a few times and the code successfully jumped. Surprised by Wen Xin’s quick code adjustments, Gu Qiang admired her skill, pondering if Wen Xin was more adept than their university professors or even the Hacker Alliance Chairman.

“Your novice skills require serious improvement. I’ll send you to the Hacker Alliance to learn proper coding. If you show progress in a month, I’ll involve you in an interesting research project. Otherwise, you’re on your own.”

Hearing about a chance to return to the Hacker Alliance, Gu Qiang’s excitement turned to disappointment, revealing she was expelled after regaining consciousness.

“I got a message from the Hacker Alliance… I’ve been expelled.”

Gu Xiang lowered her head and clasped her fingers. Becoming a hacker was her proudest thing, but now it was ruined..
