Chapter 521: If There’s Too Much Trouble, Just Destroy It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ou Jinzhi had never taken Jiang Linyan’s little antics seriously. Although she was the eldest daughter and acknowledged young mistress of the Jiang family on the surface, the precious granddaughter of Old Jiang was Ou Jinzhi’s wife.

Old Jiang’s emotions were not easily swayed by Jiang Linyan. He was persuaded by Jiang Linyan to approach Mu Chengxi, but that was solely to draw the Mu family in and strengthen the Jiang family’s power.

Mu Chengxi took a drag of his cigarette and casually pressed it into the ashtray. “You handle the rest of the matter at the racetrack. Let Qian Meng simmer for a couple more days. He offended my little ancestor…”

Hearing Mu Chengxi defending Wen Xin, Ou Jinzhi chuckled lightly. “Your little ancestor managed to swindle over a billion from those people. It’s not her who’s at a disadvantage…”

“A billion? That amount of money isn’t even worth mentioning in my little ancestor’s eyes.”

Although Mu Chengxi had never investigated Wen Xin’s background, he knew she was quite wealthy.

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s protective demeanor, Ou Jinzhi thought of her position in Institute 26 and nodded in agreement. Wen Xin’s wealth was indeed a fact.

“Alright, I’ll handle it. Just let Liang Luoyu assist me. It’s better for us to keep our distance…”

Ou Jinzhi smiled faintly at Mu Chengxi. It was well known in the capital that Mu Chengxi and Ou Shenzhi didn’t get along, but they also thought that Ou Jinzhi and Mu Chengxi weren’t close. No one understood their complex relationship.

Mu Chengxi lazily leaned back in his office chair, lazily looking at Ou Jinzhi. “Rest assured, Liang Luoyu is already prepared. He won’t disappoint those who want to see a show.”

People in the capital were eager to see conflicts between the major families unfold, especially the rivalry between Mu Chengxi and the two sons of the Ou family. After all, they were evenly matched and equally formidable.

By the time Wen Xin finished testing the system, it was already past eight in the evening. As she exited the Tianye Technology building, she saw Ou Shenzhi leaning against a black Maybach, making a phone call.

Ou Shenzhi’s presence surprised Wen Xin, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. She walked towards the parking lot, knowing that Mu Chengxi had to return to the old mansion for a family meeting tonight and wouldn’t be able to pick her up. She decided to head home on her own.

“Miss Wen…”

Wen Xin turned to see Ou Shenzhi catching up to her. With a cold expression, she asked, “What’s the matter?”

Among the two brothers of the Ou family, Wen Xin found Ou Jinzhi more pleasing to the eye than Ou Shenzhi, who seemed rather repulsive.

“Miss Wen, about that design…”

How could Ou Shenzhi not know Wen Xin’s dislike for him? If it weren’t for Wen Xin’s involvement with the design and her knowledge of the propulsion system’s issues, he wouldn’t have dealt with her.

“I’ve already spoken to Elder Ou about that design. It’s all in the past. I don’t know anything about it. Please don’t bother me. Thank you.”

With a cold tone, Wen Xin didn’t give Ou Shenzhi a chance to say anything else, walking away without looking back, leaving no opportunity for Ou Shenzhi to speak.

Ou Shenzhi watched Wen Xin’s retreating figure, wanting to catch up, but was blocked by a black-clad figure.

“Young Master Ou, Master Chengxi has instructed you not to disturb Miss Wen. Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences.”

Although Mu Chengxi hadn’t come to pick up Wen Xin, he had already arranged for someone to protect her secretly, ensuring she wouldn’t be disturbed.

Ou Shenzhi watched Wen Xin drive away and withdrew his gaze. He glanced at the black-clad person in front of him, said nothing, and turned to walk towards his car. He didn’t believe Mu Chengxi could protect Wen Xin at all times.

Once Wen Xin returned home, the first thing she did was to take out her computer and hack into Ou Shenzhi’s computer, deleting all the design drawings related to the propulsion system, as well as all the data, giving Ou Shenzhi no chance to recover them.

After dealing with Ou Shenzhi’s matter, Wen Xin took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Alfredo’s number.

Alfredo was visiting Elder Jason in the hospital at the time. He was stunned when he saw Wen Xin’s call. He quickly left the ward, answering Wen Xin’s call with some excitement.

“Why… are you calling me?”

“Do you know who from Independent State is cooperating with Ou Shenzhi from the capital?”

Wen Xin didn’t have time to investigate which families were collaborating with Ou Shenzhi. She knew that asking Alfredo was the simplest way, and she was certain he would tell her.

Perhaps not expecting Wen Xin to call him about this matter, Alfredo hesitated for a moment but truthfully answered her question, “It’s the Meng family from Independent State, the person you also know, Meng Ci.”

Upon hearing this name, Wen Xin hesitated slightly. She didn’t seem to have much of an impression of this person. “I don’t remember. Never mind, hang up.”

“Wait a minute!” Alfredo sensed Wen Xin didn’t want to talk much with him, but he couldn’t help but want to say a few more words to her.

“When are you planning to come back?”

“If possible, I never want to go back. That’s all, goodbye.”

Wen Xin coldly hung up the phone, giving Alfredo no chance to speak. She had achieved her goal with the phone call and didn’t want to waste any more time.

Tossing her phone onto the table, Wen Xin opened a special software icon, entered a code, and searched for information about the Meng family’s collaboration with Ou Shenzhi.

After looking at Meng Ci’s information, Wen Xin determined his identity and narrowed her eyes slightly. She had figured out who this person was.

Next, Wen Xin hacked into the Meng family’s system using the network security system of Independent State’s central building, and deleted all the design drawings related to the aircraft from Meng Ci’s computer. She didn’t want trouble, nor did she want to be bothered by such matters.

Mu Chengxi returned home and saw Wen Xin sitting in front of the computer, lines of code flashing incessantly. He walked up to her, stood behind her, bent down, and lightly kissed the corner of her lips.

“Have you had dinner?”

“No, I came home from Tianye and encountered Ou Shenzhi.” Wen Xin knew that Mu Chengxi had already arranged for someone to follow her, and she didn’t want to hide anything from him about this matter.

“Ah, I know about Ou Shenzhi’s matter. I’ll handle it. Don’t worry. I’ll have Mu Bei bring you some food.”

“If there’s too much trouble, just destroy it!” Wen Xin leaned against Mu Chengxi’s leg and looked up at him. “I’ve deleted all the information about the aircraft. As for dinner, I want to eat noodles cooked by you…”
