Chapter 520: Mu Chengxi’s Cunning Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Now that Mu Chengxi had taken action, Qian Meng could only rely on connections to solve the problem, feeling quite stifled.

As Qian Meng was suffering from a headache, his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number. After staring at the caller ID for a few seconds, he answered.

“Who’s this…”

“It’s me, Wei Shisheng…”

Wei Shisheng calling Qian Meng was unexpected. Qian Meng looked at his phone, furrowing his brows slightly, and asked uncertainly, “Who are you?”

“I’m Wei Shisheng…” After explaining who she was, Wei Shisheng chuckled lightly. “I heard about the incident at the racetrack in the western suburbs. Let me give you some guidance. Ou Shenzhi should be able to help you. You can give it a try.”

“Ou Shenzhi? From the Ou family? Are you kidding me? The Ou family is allied with Mu Chengxi. Even if Ou Shenzhi is on bad terms with Mu Chengxi because of you, he has no reason to help me…”

Qian Meng completely disregarded Wei Shisheng’s suggestion. He was already surprised that Wei Shisheng called him. As for Ou Shenzhi, he didn’t think he had enough face to ask for help from someone from the Ou family.

To Qian Meng’s skepticism, Wei Shisheng smiled faintly. “You may not believe me, but in the capital, besides him, no one else can help you. If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself.”

Before Qian Meng could say anything, Wei Shisheng hung up, not wanting to waste any more words.

With the call being hung up abruptly, Qian Meng’s temper exploded instantly. He ruthlessly threw his phone away. What’s wrong with these people? They hang up before even finishing their sentences. It’s so annoying.

Wei Shisheng held the phone, a smug smile playing on her lips. She understood Ou Shenzhi’s character well. Whenever there was a conflict with Mu Chengxi, he always wanted to compete with him.

If Qian Meng approached him about this matter, he would definitely take action. There was no doubt about it.

The incident at the racetrack spread throughout the capital overnight. Wen Xin, who was testing the system in the studio, overheard Gu Xiang and others discussing it.

Gu Xiang mysteriously approached Wen Xin and pulled a chair beside her, sitting down.

“Little sister-in-law, did you know that it was Young Master Xi who caused trouble at the racetrack in the western suburbs? Do you have any idea?”

Gu Xiang didn’t believe this matter herself. She thought it was unlikely that Mu Chengxi, who had never laid hands on Qian Meng for so many years, would do so now.

“I don’t know, and I’m not interested. Is your system ready? Let me see it?” Wen Xin lifted her eyelids slightly, casting a warning glance at Gu Xiang, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Seeing Wen Xin’s impatience, Gu Xiang dared not say anything more. She turned and left quietly.

Chu Yunxuan, sitting opposite Wen Xin, glanced at the broken skin on Wen Xin’s hand, smeared with purple medicine, unable to help but laugh. She felt that Mu Chengxi was cunning, deliberately doing this as a warning.

Hearing her laughter, Wen Xin looked up from her screen of data code, “What are you laughing at? I’m reporting to school the day after tomorrow. You handle the rest!”

“What the hell? You’re going back to school? But the press conference is next week. Aren’t you going to be there?” Chu Yunxuan restrained her smile. She had witnessed the precision of the robot’s acupuncture on the human body, which was even better than that of an old Chinese doctor.

Once launched on the market, such a robot would cause quite a stir. She didn’t expect Wen Xin not to be there.

“Whether I’m there or not doesn’t matter. What matters is the modification of the code. Hurry up and work on it. Stop being a spectator.” Wen Xin gave Chu Yunxuan a cold glance, withdrawing her gaze and focusing on her own hand. Yuan Junye had mocked her in the morning, and now Chu Yunxuan was mocking her again. She felt resentful and would settle the score with Mu Chengxi when she got home.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Chengxi sat in the study, rubbing his slightly itchy nose. He looked at Ou Jinzhi, sitting opposite him, with a cold gaze.

Ou Jinzhi held a cigarette in his hand, took a shallow drag, flicked the ash with his thick fingers, and said, “My father-in-law called me this morning, asking if my grandfather could handle the matter at the racetrack in the western suburbs. My grandfather flatly refused, saying he had just angered your little girlfriend.”

Thinking of what Ou’s father had done, Mu Chengxi’s lips curved slightly, his eyebrows lifting slightly.

“Indeed, my little ancestor doesn’t like dealing with people from Independent State. You saw it at Mr. Ou’s birthday banquet last time… So she got angry.”

As soon as Mu Chengxi spoke, Ou Jinzhi understood the meaning behind his words. He nodded in understanding, then smiled lightly.

“Ou Shenzhi is quite ambitious. He’s been in close contact with Independent State lately. He gets excited about any cooperation talks. However, rest assured that this matter has been sealed off. People from Independent State won’t come here to cause trouble.”

“I’m not worried. While I may not be able to compete with them in Independent State, if anyone dares to come to the capital to cause trouble, they might find it hard to leave.”

When Mu Chengxi mentioned Independent State, the warmth in his eyes instantly turned cold. Although he couldn’t empathize, he would certainly ensure Wen Xin’s safety and well-being.

Ou Jinzhi looked at the coldness in Mu Chengxi’s eyes, smiled faintly, and probably guessed that there was a deep feud between Wen Xin and Independent State.

“Have you thought about how to handle the matter at the racetrack? It’s a big deal to take action so early. It may disrupt our previous plans.”

Ou Jinzhi originally didn’t want to intervene in this matter. Whatever Mu Chengxi wanted to do, he could do, but for some reason, people from the Jiang family unexpectedly interceded for Qian Meng and others. The situation was somewhat complicated and required caution.

“Let it be closed for a month, and then we’ll see. As for those who want to harm Wen Xin, find an excuse to lock them up for three to five years. As for Qian Meng… just let him be. The Qian family can continue to raise him for a while.”

Mu Chengxi had been able to tolerate Qian Meng for so many years for his own reasons, and Qian Meng didn’t dare to overstep his bounds too much. So, he had never considered getting rid of Qian Meng.

It’s better to have some dark forces in Qian Meng’s hands than in others. Maintaining this balance would save them from wasting time dealing with all sorts of messes.

“I heard that Miss Jiang has been getting close to Qian Meng recently…”

As Mu Chengxi lit a cigarette, the coldness in his eyes diminished a lot. There was a hint of interest on his face.

“How can you not know what my sister-in-law is thinking? Because of you, she had a big fight with her grandfather, and then she got involved with Qian Meng for some reason. But don’t worry, she doesn’t have the final say in the Jiang family.”
