Chapter 535: I’ll Handle the Person Who’s After My Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chengxi spoke candidly to Chu Yunxuan, revealing details he had never shared with Wen Xin.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Chu Yunxuan shot up from her chair in disbelief, grabbing her phone, “Are you saying the Ghost’s Domain you control is just a shell? The real core was moved before you could access it?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. Those people are even more cunning than we imagined but don’t worry, I’ve already identified a target, and it won’t be long before we have some leads.”

Mu Chengxi did not know about the toxin in Tan Xingyue’s body. He suspected that the grandmother had intended to use Wen Xin to cover up Tan Xingyue’s identity, so he was eager to catch those individuals mentioned by Aunt Yao.

Knowing now that these people still held many dangerous items made him even more vigilant. He would not let them anywhere near Wen Xin, his precious charge; he wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her.

Now, Mu Chengxi also understood why Wen Xin insisted on studying bioengineering.

“Thank you for telling me about grandmother’s situation. I’ll handle Ghost’s Domain properly and explain things to Wen Xin myself. As for the grandmother’s matter, since it’s chosen to be kept a secret, let’s not tell her. She’s better off not knowing.”

Mu Chengxi did not want Wen Xin’s trust to collapse; as long as her grandmother remained a loving old lady in her heart, that was enough. The other details weren’t necessary for her to know.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you. I have other things to attend to, so I will hang up now.”

After sharing her secrets with Mu Chengxi, Chu Yunxuan felt much lighter. She turned around, grabbed a beer nearby, opened it, and downed it in one go, feeling much relieved.

But ignoring the grandmother’s issues didn’t mean she would ignore Ghost’s Domain. She dialed Yan Qing’s phone next, thinking it would be inappropriate for Truth Listener not to get involved.

After hanging up with Chu Yunxuan, Mu Chengxi’s expression turned grim. He was aware that grandmother’s death was linked to those men in black mentioned by Aunt Yao, but he hadn’t realized it involved a biological toxin.

Mu Bei sat across from Mu Chengxi and had heard the entire conversation with Chu Yunxuan. He looked at Mu Chengxi with concern.

“Master Xi, this matter…”

“Don’t let Liang Luoyu find out about it. If he knew, it would probably lead to a lot of trouble.”

Liang Luoyu’s concern for Tan Xingyue was obvious to everyone, and if he found out about this, his reaction might be more extreme than anyone’s.

Mu Bei instinctively nodded, feeling suddenly pressured by being privy to these secrets, worried he might accidentally reveal something.

“Tell Mu Dong to hurry up and find out from those Ghost’s Domain people about the person Aunt Yao mentioned. She said the last person to see grandmother was from Beijing. We should investigate everyone in Beijing who had contact with her.”

“Thoroughly investigate everyone, don’t overlook anyone.”

Mu Chengxi was aware of how important Tan Xingyue was to Wen Xin. If anything happened to Tan Xingyue, Wen Xin might lose her composure.

Just then, Mu Chengxi’s phone rang. He glanced at it and motioned for Mu Bei to leave before answering.

The call connected instantly, and Ou Jinzhi’s voice came through.

“Chengxi, what’s going on with you and Jiang Linyan? She suddenly interfered with the military training at Beijing University, specifically asking to lead Wen Xin’s class. Isn’t she targeting your little girlfriend?”

Ou Jinzhi wasn’t calling out of concern for Wen Xin; he knew of her ties with the 26th Institute and that anyone who could command their loyalty was no ordinary person. Yet, he couldn’t help but relish the drama.

Mu Chengxi was already in a foul mood, and knowing someone was after Wen Xin worsened it. He irritably threw a pen onto the table.

“She’s at the training base now?”

Ou Jinzhi was in charge of the university’s military training, and Mu Chengxi had been reassured by his presence, feeling secure about sending Wen Xin there for over ten days.

He had planned to see Wen Xin off to the training base, ensure she was alright, and then deal with Ghost’s Domain.

But Jiang Linyan’s involvement complicated matters.

“Yes, she came an hour ago with an official order. She just asked to check the training roster and specifically requested to teach the first class of the Nuclear Engineering Department of the Physics Faculty, where your little girlfriend is.”

Ou Jinzhi’s tone was clearly that of a bystander eager for entertainment, well aware of Jiang Linyan’s crush on Mu Chengxi and not surprised she was targeting Wen Xin.

“Let her be. The one who gets bullied might not be who you think. Wen Xin doesn’t like it when her classmates get dragged into things. Try to keep a handle on the situation so she doesn’t end up flipping your training base upside down.”

After reading a message from Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi felt his irritations subside. He was probably overthinking; given Wen Xin’s nature, who could bully her?

She always dealt with conflicts on the spot, seldom giving others a chance to retaliate.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s evasive tone, Ou Jinzhi felt slightly disappointed; he had thought Mu Chengxi would rush to the training base to sort out the issue for Wen Xin. Instead, he seemed content to let Wen Xin handle Jiang Linyan.

“It seems I need to drop some bombshell news to really surprise you.”

“Recently, the base received a batch of new weapons from the 26th Institute. Interested in coming over to take a look?”

“I’ll come by during the military training in a couple of days. I’m busy right now, don’t have time to play. Don’t bother me with trivial matters.”

Mu Chengxi recognizing the boastful tone in Ou Jinzhi’s voice, knew he was just flaunting, but Ou didn’t know that the recent cooperation between Organization M and the 26th Institute was going smoothly; he had no reason to envy him.

Mu Chengxi hung up without waiting for a reply, his mood significantly lifted by Wen Xin’s message, and his earlier annoyance and gloom swept away.

“Jiang Linyan will be a training instructor, looking to cause you trouble. Need me to handle it?”

“No need. Those who covet my man, I’ll handle them myself; you don’t need to give her the chance to contact you.”

The words “my man” instantly lifted Mu Chengxi’s spirits. Nothing could make him happier.

After replying to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin fell asleep, only to be woken shortly after by Su Shan’s scream.

She lay in bed, arm across her forehead, listening to Su Shan shouting in the dorm about her missing limited edition Hualuo bracelet.
