Yan Qing’s words were quite subtle. Though he didn’t spell it out, Wen Xin understood. Those people wanted to get some information about the Independent State from the Doll.

“Sure… You can take on a few orders. Since they are so interested in the Independent State, it’s not a bad idea to share some details about it,” Wen Xin said.

Wen Xin didn’t have any sentimental attachment to the Independent State, but she knew it was only a matter of time before she had to deal with it.

Slowly infiltrating its ranks would be beneficial. She wasn’t afraid of the Independent State causing trouble; she was worried it wouldn’t cause enough.

Yan Qing was surprised that Wen Xin agreed. He thought he might have misheard. He asked again, “Doll, did you really agree? Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure. You can pick the orders and send them to my email. I’ll handle them when I have time,” Wen Xin confirmed.

“Alright, I’ll get on it right away!” Yan Qing quickly exited the chat interface to process the orders, afraid that Wen Xin might change her mind soon.

As Yan Qing logged out, the decryption program on Wen Xin’s computer had completed, revealing encrypted information about Grandma Yang Jingyan. Wen Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly as she read that Yang Jingyan was a biologist. It was the first time she knew of this identity.

Wen Xin spent the entire night investigating Yang Jingyan’s background. Only then did she realize how formidable she was. It seemed that Wen Xin would need to visit Ancient Market Town again.

After stretching in her office chair, Wen Xin checked her phone for messages. There was no message from Mu Chengxi. She felt something was off. Given the time, Mu Chengxi should have already arrived in Continent F and contacted her.

Feeling uneasy, Wen Xin dialed Mu Chengxi’s number, but it was turned off.

Sitting in her office chair, Wen Xin’s eyes gleamed with danger as she thought about whom to contact to find Mu Chengxi. Her finger hovered over her contact list before stopping on Mu Dong’s name. Without hesitation, she dialed his number. After three rings, the call was answered.

“Miss Wen!” A steady and polite voice came from the other end, calming Wen Xin’s anxious heart.

“Where’s Mu Chengxi?” Wen Xin didn’t bother with pleasantries.

“Master Xi is in a meeting. His phone was maliciously tracked, so he decided not to call you after landing to avoid disturbing your rest. He plans to call you after the meeting,” Mu Dong’s composed tone reassured Wen Xin a bit, but she still narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Alright, tell him to call me after the meeting,” Wen Xin replied calmly before hanging up. She stood up and headed to the bedroom, directly into the bathroom.

After Mu Dong ended the call, he looked at the people around him with a troubled expression. “I don’t think we can keep this from her. Miss Wen is not an ordinary person. She probably suspects Master Xi’s disappearance.”

“If she knows, then she knows. We don’t have time to worry about her feelings. If it weren’t for her, Master Xi wouldn’t have come to Continent F at this time. At least Mu Bei would have been with him, and he wouldn’t be in danger alone,” Mu Xi, sitting on the sofa, angrily threw his water cup onto the coffee table. Mu Chengxi had been missing for over ten hours, and everyone was out searching for him. No one had time to worry about Wen Xin’s feelings.

“Contact Truth Listener. They might have a way to find Master Xi. Who do you think is behind this?” Mu Dong decided to focus on finding Mu Chengxi.

“I’ve already contacted the Doll. If the Doll is willing to use the global security network to find Master Xi, we can pay any price,” Mu Xi said, running a hand through his hair in frustration. He had warned Mu Chengxi not to come at this time because it was too dangerous, but Mu Chengxi insisted on delaying his trip by two days, which put him in this situation.

“Have you heard back from Truth Listener? We need to keep this quiet. If certain people find out, it could be even more dangerous,” Mu Dong didn’t want Mu Chengxi’s disappearance to become public knowledge, but he was also worried that Truth Listener might not take the job.

“Still waiting for a response. Truth Listener’s people are eccentric, especially Doll. Of all the people to work with, Doll chose the Independent State. It’s incomprehensible!” Mu Xi fumed, thinking about Doll providing the Independent State with a stable security system. It made the already arrogant Independent State even more untouchable.

“Push Truth Listener for an update. I’ll arrange things here and go out to see if there are any leads on Master Xi. If Truth Listener responds, let me know immediately,” Mu Dong said, trying to remain composed despite his inner turmoil.

When Wen Xin came out of the bathroom, she saw her phone flashing. Wrapping her hair in a towel, she picked up the phone and saw that Yan Qing was calling.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“Boss, Mu Chengxi’s plane was hijacked. He’s been missing for thirteen hours. Did you know about this?” Yan Qing’s words made Wen Xin freeze. She hadn’t received any messages from Mu Chengxi and had suspected something was wrong, but she didn’t expect it to be something this serious.

“Missing? Where did he disappear, Continent F? That’s his territory; he should be safe, right?” Wen Xin’s words were more self-reassuring. She couldn’t believe that Mu Chengxi, who had just left home yesterday, had been missing for thirteen hours. It didn’t seem possible.

“No, it happened after his plane left Z Country’s airspace. The flight path deviated, and then it disappeared from radar. There’s no trace of it now,” Yan Qing explained.
