“Now that Wei Shisheng is no longer in the Wei family, those two families can reconcile. This way, Mantong won’t be in a difficult position anymore…”

Wei Manqing held Wen Xin’s hand, feeling somewhat excited. She knew about the past events and understood Wei Mantong’s feelings. But after so many vears of not coming home, it was somewhat unreasonable.

Luckily, she was finally coming back now.

Wen Xin stayed at the Mu family’s old house for three days. Apart from visiting Zhuge Jingming’s clinic once, she hadn’t gone out.

In the afternoon, she was holed up at home, studying experimental data. For the independent enrollment, she only needed to study some theoretical knowledge.

“Wen Xin, there’s a new product launch event at Tianye Group tonight. Are you interested in going? I heard it’s about a new concept in unmanned driving technology.”

Mu Chengxu walked in excitedly from outside, holding two cups of warm milk tea and some desserts.

Wen Xin looked up from her books and glanced at Mu Chengxu, hesitating for a moment. “I don’t want to go. Chengxi will be back tonight.”

Early that morning, Wen Xin received a call from Mu Chengxi, saying he was about to board the plane. But it had been eight hours, and there was still no news from him. Wen Xin just didn’t feel like going to see Tianye Group’s new product launch.

“Alright, if you don’t want to go, I’ll go with my assistant. You focus on your review. I’m preparing to collaborate with Yuan Junye recently, but I’m not sure if he’s willing.”

Mu Chengxu spoke before Wen Xin could respond, gently patting her shoulder and speaking softly, “You focus on your studies. I’ll see if there are any interesting gadgets at his product launch event. I can bring some back for you to play with.”

Mu Chengxu left, not waiting for Wen Xin to reply before leaving in a hurry. Wen Xin watched her leaving figure, lost in thought. She thought that collaborating with Yuan Junye was actually not a bad idea.

Wen Xin picked up her phone and dialed Yuan Junye’s number. Perhaps because Yuan Junye was busy preparing for the launch event, there was no answer.

Wen Xin hung up the phone and threw it aside, then stood up to go to the bathroom.

Just as Wen Xin stood up, her phone suddenly lit up. She leaned over to look, and the number was familiar, but she didn’t want to answer it.

Wen Xin ignored the vibrating phone and walked towards the bathroom.

Wen Xin came out of the bathroom five minutes later. She thought Alfredo wouldn’t bother her again, but she didn’t expect him not only to call but also to send several text messages.

Wen Xin furrowed her brows slightly, wondering what could make Alfredo so anxious to contact her. He was not like this in the past.

Her jade-like fingers tapped on the message on her phone. When she read the contents, she completely lost her composure and sat down abruptly on the sofa.

“The Elders’ Council has tampered with Mu Chengxi’s return flight to the country. Try to contact Mu Chengxi to see if you can reach him. I just passed by the Elders’ Council and overheard them discussing the plane explosion.”

Reading this message, Wen Xin’s hand on her lap couldn’t help trembling. No wonder Mu Chengxi hadn’t disembarked for so long.

Before, even when Mu Chengxi was on the plane, he still had Wi-Fi. But this time…

At that moment, Wen Xin’s phone started vibrating again. She glanced at her phone and saw it was from Chu Yunxuan. She quickly answered.

“Baby, Gu Yanzhe contacted me and asked me to tell you that Mu Chengxi might be delayed for one or two days before returning. Don’t worry about him. I’ve already taken people to find them. They’re in Pochinki now.”

Upon hearing Chu Yunxuan’s words, Wen Xin’s tense emotions instantly relaxed, but she still couldn’t help worrying about Mu Chengxi, wondering what had happened to him.

“I’m not very clear about the specific situation either. He just told me to pass on the message to you. They might need to delay their return for one or two days. I finally managed to get them to tell me they were in Pochinki. Once I know more, I’ll inform you.”

Wen Xin furrowed her brows slightly, watching as Chu Yunxuan hurriedly hung up the phone. She lightly tapped the back of the sofa with her fingers, lost in thought.

The fact that Gu Yanzhe could call Chu Yunxuan meant that Mu Chengxi could actually contact the outside world. So, if he didn’t call her, there must be a reason.

The fact that Chu Yunxuan agreed to go find them indicated that their situation wasn’t optimistic. It could also mean that their safety was threatened. Continent M, where Chu Yunxuan’s organization was based, was closer to them than Continent F, making it more convenient to support them.

Wen Xin leaned back, lazily sitting on the sofa with her beautiful eyes closed tightly.

She could be sure that Mu Chengxi must have been injured, and not lightly.

Wen Xin picked up her phone and dialed Alfredo’s number. The phone was answered after just one ring.

It was as if he had been waiting for her.

“Who laid hands on Mu Chengxi?”

“It’s the Elders’ Council’s people. I’ve sent someone to investigate. If nothing unexpected happens, it was arranged by Elder Jason. Yatta, you shouldn’t act rashly.”

Alfredo wasn’t surprised at all that Wen Xin would ask him this question. Although he felt bitter that Wen Xin had called him because of Mu Chengxi, he couldn’t ignore Wen Xin’s affairs.

“Just call me Wen Xin. Issue me six special passes. In a week, I want to take a few people to Independent State.”

Wen Xin’s eyes reddened slightly. She had warned Alfredo not to lay hands on Mu Chengxi, but the people from the Elders’ Council hadn’t notified her. In that case, she would personally inform them.

“Wen Xin, I’ll handle Jason Elder’s actions against Continent F. If you want to return to Independent State, you need to think about it carefully. You’re about to turn nineteen. Once you return, you won’t be able to leave.”

Out of selfishness, Alfredo naturally hoped that Wen Xin would return to Independent State and marry him.

However, Wen Xin had come back for Mu Chengxi this time. He didn’t want her to act impulsively.

“I told you to prepare, so go and prepare. You don’t have a say in anything else.” Wen Xin coldly hung up. She had lost all rationality.

She had witnessed her parents being killed when she was too young to do anything. But now she was different. If something happened to Mu Chengxi, she would make them pay a heavy price.

Alfredo looked at the phone in his hand, feeling a sourness in his heart that made his whole body uncomfortable. He had begged her for so many years, but she never stayed in Independent State.

And now, she was willing to rush back to Independent State to take revenge for someone she had only known for a year.

That was truly preferential treatment, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable..
