Chapter 709: 708: She Was Once the Ruler of the Dark Night

She couldn’t burden Independent State with her decision, even if she knew it was a losing situation, she had to fight, believing fate must be in one’s own hands.

Chu Yunxuan stood still, watching Wen Xin deep in thought, and gently tugged at Yan Qing’s shirt sleeve, signaling Yan Qing to say no more.

“Wen Xin, just go ahead and do whatever you need to do, no matter what happens, we’ll have your back. You can count on me, I can make it happen.”

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin determinedly, having made all her arrangements assuming the worst, so even if the surgery failed and Luo Qiete didn’t spare Wen Xin, Chu Yunxuan could still ensure Wen Xin’s complete safety.

Listening to Chu Yunxuan’s words, Wen Xin slowly raised her head and looked at her, her cool features slightly softened.

“I’ll try my best to get the best possible outcome. Maybe there will really be a miracle? Alright, you guys don’t worry, go get some rest early.”

Wen Xin didn’t talk much with Chu Yunxuan or Yan Qing; she needed to review the patient’s specific condition and finalize a suitable surgical plan, feeling that the patient didn’t have much time to wait for everything to be arranged.

Late at night, Wen Xin finished reviewing all the case files and successfully designed a complete surgical plan, which she shared with her assistants’ emails, reminding them that they could see it after they woke up.

After Wen Xin had made all the preparations, she casually picked up the smartphone lying beside her, took a sip of water, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.

The phone rang several times before it was answered, and Wen Xin could clearly hear the work-related conversation on the other end.

“Haven’t you rested yet?” Wen Xin glanced at the time on her phone and asked Mu Chengxi in a gentle tone, wondering why he hadn’t gone to bed so late.

Hearing Wen Xin caring about why he hadn’t rested, a gentle laugh came from Mu Chengxi’s end, “And you’re asking me why I haven’t rested, aren’t you also up?”

Being interrogated by Mu Chengxi made Wen Xin unconsciously chuckle, “I was reviewing a case and lost track of the time. I’m about to sleep soon, plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to check on the patient’s condition.”

Wen Xin lay lazily in bed, her arms under her head, curled up like a little kitten.

“Then go to sleep early, and remember to call me if you need anything.”

Mu Chengxi was still worried about Wen Xin being alone, even as he was about to hang up the phone, he couldn’t help but repeatedly remind her.

Finally, Wen Xin hung up the phone impatiently, and Mu Chengxi could only look at his phone and laugh helplessly, realizing he could only keep spoiling the little tyrant he had indulged.

After hanging up Mu Chengxi’s call, Wen Xin carelessly threw her smartphone aside, turned over, and prepared to rest for a while.

Just as Wen Xin was about to fall asleep, her phone suddenly vibrated, Wen Xin struggled to sit up from the bed, picked up the phone, and saw it was a call from Yan Qing. She got up from the bed and answered the call.

“What’s up?”

Wen Xin knew Yan Qing’s character; he wouldn’t call unless it was something special, and calling now meant there must be something important.

“Boss, Luo Qiete wants to meet the divine doctor in person, and has made a substantial offer to show his sincerity. I wonder if you’re considering meeting Luo Qiete?”

Yan Qing understood Wen Xin’s character quite well. Over the years, they had collaborated many times, and Wen Xin never liked revealing her true identity, hence she never wanted to meet with a patient’s family.

However, this time, judging from Wen Xin’s attitude toward that particular patient, Yan Qing was somewhat puzzled. She didn’t know why Wen Xin would take such a big risk for this person, so she decided to ask if Wen Xin wanted to meet Luo Qiete.

“Meet, ask him when he is available.”

Upon hearing Yan Qing’s words, without any hesitation, Wen Xin agreed to meet Luo Qiete. She felt that some matters needed to be discussed face-to-face with Luo Qiete, and this time, she had no intention of hiding her identity.

Listening to Wen Xin readily agreeing to meet Luo Qiete, Yan Qing felt it was unbelievable. She couldn’t believe it and asked again,

“Boss, are you sure you want to meet Luo Qiete?”

“Yes, now go and reply to his message, ask him when he is available.”

Wen Xin sat on the bed, staring at the glowing computer on the table. She was calculating the chances of success for the surgery, how much of a chance she had, and how she would persuade Luo Qiete not to cooperate with Independent State.

“I will ask him now, but boss, when do you think you’d be more available?” Yan Qing was handling the matter of a divine doctor meeting a patient’s family for the first time, and she unexpectedly felt a bit nervous, unsure of what she should do.

“Anytime…” At the moment Wen Xin figured it out, her beautiful eyes slowly opened, glittering with a shining light.

“Anytime? Boss, you’re not thinking about meeting Luo Qiete now, are you? Isn’t that too unsafe?”

Yan Qing hadn’t expected Wen Xin to consider meeting Luo Qiete at that time.

It wasn’t necessarily impossible, but it made Yan Qing think Wen Xin was being hasty, “Boss, you know that Luo Qiete thrives in the night, and darkness is his best camouflage, so we shouldn’t meet him.”

Yan Qing kindly reminded Wen Xin, as she felt it wasn’t very safe for Wen Xin to meet Luo Qiete at night.

“A person of the night? Have you forgotten my nickname? The ‘Night Phantom’… shouldn’t I be the master of the night?”

Listening to Yan Qing’s gentle persuasion, Wen Xin smiled softly. Having been out of the Jianghu for too long, everyone had forgotten what she was like at her peak. When had she ever been afraid?

Yan Qing wanted to say more, but after Wen Xin spoke, Yan Qing didn’t know what else to say. The glorious history of Wen Xin flooded into Yan Qing’s mind all at once.

A person who once stood at the peak wouldn’t fear these insignificant creatures. She had only retired from the Jianghu, not lost her ability, and there was nothing to fear.

“Boss, I’ll go handle it right now. As soon as I have news, I will immediately reply to you.”

After finishing the conversation, Yan Qing hung up the phone with Wen Xin, immediately contacted Luo Qiete, and confirmed the meeting time at three in the morning, at Luo Qiete’s private villa.

When Yan Qing informed Wen Xin of the agreed time and place, she thought Wen Xin would refuse based on her character, but completely unexpectedly, not only did Wen Xin not refuse, she also asked her not to alarm too many people.
