Chapter 615: So Foolish, It’s Embarrassing

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Since Alfredo is here today, I want you all to understand that I am not someone you can easily manipulate. No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do. I have never acknowledged my engagement with him, and I hope you won’t bring it up again.”

“I don’t like to hear it, and I have no patience for it.”

“Yatta, how dare you speak to me like this? You should know, even your father wouldn’t dare!” Old Master Wen had never expected such insolence from Wen Xin. He had always known her to be disrespectful, but he had never seen her like this.

“What good is it if my father dared or not? He’s dead. Whatever he was like doesn’t matter to me. I only know that anyone who makes me unhappy will not be happy, either. At worst, we all go down together!”

Wen Xin’s indifferent and rebellious attitude stunned both Old Master Wen and Alfredo. It was the first time they had seen this side of her. They always thought they could easily control Wen Xin.

Now, they realized that they were the ones being manipulated, not Wen Xin.

Wen Xin couldn’t be bothered to look at their expressions. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “I hope we can coexist peacefully. You enjoy your privileges in the Independent State, and I’ll live my life outside as I want.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Wen Xin raised her head, her dark eyes fixed on the people sitting across from her, finally landing on the furious Old Master Wen.

“Return my people to me and let us leave the Independent State safely. I won’t look into what you’ve done. How about it?”

“Can’t you just be obedient for once?” Alfredo frowned at Wen Xin, unable to tolerate her attitude any longer. He didn’t want her to be at odds with the Wen family, thinking it would be of no benefit to her.

Before Alfredo could finish his sentence, he stood frozen, his mouth opening and closing without making a sound.

“Since I met you, the phrase I hate hearing the most is for me to be obedient. Why should I be obedient?”

“What does being obedient mean? Becoming your puppet? Let me make it clear: don’t even think about it. Never think that I will be obedient!”

Baldy was scared seeing Alfredo’s condition. He clearly saw a silver needle stuck in Alfredo’s neck, and although he didn’t know what it was, it seemed terrifying.

“Miss… this…”

“Do you want one too?” Wen Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled wickedly at Baldy, sending a chill down his spine.

“No… I wouldn’t dare…”

“Look at what you’ve become. It’s fortunate that your aunt took care of Wen Huai. Otherwise, who knows what he would have turned into if he had followed you.”

Old Master Wen slapped the armrest of the sofa in frustration. He couldn’t stand seeing Wen Xin like this. She was beyond his control, giving him a bad feeling.

“If you don’t want to see me, just return my people to me. Otherwise…”

Before Wen Xin could finish her sentence, a loud explosion sounded outside, shaking the entire villa and shattering its windows instantly.

In an instant, Old Master Wen ran swiftly towards the back door of the villa, so fast that Wen Xin almost didn’t catch his movements.

After experiencing the explosion firsthand, Alfredo was shocked to see Wen Xin sitting calmly on the sofa. He couldn’t believe she would risk her life by throwing a bomb at the Wen family without fearing it might harm her, too.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. If I told you I didn’t throw the bomb, would you believe it?”

Wen Xin raised an eyebrow at Alfredo. She stood up casually, adjusted her clothes, walked over to Alfredo, removed the silver needle from his neck, and lightly pricked him again in a different spot.

“There, you can talk now. Remember, don’t tell me to be obedient again. Otherwise, next time, I’ll make sure you can never speak again.”

Wen Xin played with the silver needle in her hand before tossing it into the trash can and heading towards the back door of the villa.

In the villa’s back garden, many people had gathered, most of whom Wen Xin didn’t recognize. She wasn’t interested in them either. To her, the Wen family members were all strangers.

She walked straight to Old Master Wen and spoke coldly, “The Wen family has such a big issue. I won’t cause any more trouble here. Please release my people, and I’ll leave now!”

“You… Is this bomb related to you?” Old Master Wen asked, seeing Wen Xin’s calm demeanor. His first thought was that she had something to do with it.

“You’re overthinking. If it were related to me, the bomb would have exploded after I left. I wouldn’t risk dying here. You’d better think about who you’ve offended that would use the same tactics against the Wen family as they did against the Jason family…”

Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke, looking as if she were enjoying the spectacle. Old Master Wen’s hands trembled uncontrollably in anger.

“Butler, bring those people out and hand them over to Miss Wen. Escort her out!”

Old Master Wen couldn’t deny her words. Wen Xin had no reason to risk her life. The only person he could think of was the man Wen Xin had rescued.

It seemed that the man didn’t care much for Wen Xin. Knowing she was still at the Wen family, he still attacked. He was truly ruthless.

Within ten minutes, the butler led Mu Bei and his group out from a small house in the backyard.

When Mu Bei saw Wen Xin, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to her side. “Miss Wen…”

Suddenly realizing that acknowledging Wen Xin now might be detrimental to her, he took a step back instinctively.

Wen Xin looked at Mu Bei’s silly actions and raised her hand to rub her aching temples. She spoke to him coldly.

“Let’s go. You’re so foolish.”

Mu Bei followed Wen Xin with his head down, along with the dozen people behind him who had no idea what had happened, all walking out together.

“Miss Wen, how did you know we were here? I thought we were doomed this time…”

Before Mu Bei could finish his sentence, he saw the ruined state of the Wen family estate. They had heard the explosion but didn’t realize it was so close…

“Miss Wen… this…”

“Let’s go, stop talking so much. You got caught just because you went to see a lab. You’re too foolish!” Wen Xin looked at Mu Bei disdainfully, not wanting to speak to him further. He was too foolish, making her feel embarrassed.
