Chapter 757: 756 Wen Xin Annoyed, Acting Alone

“`

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s breathing, Wen Xin had already sensed his nervousness. She tried to soothe him with a gentle tone.

She truly did not want Mu Chengxi to be nervous or scared. After all, her opponents this time were merely a group of mercenaries.

If he was scared now, would he be even more worried when facing people from the Independent State in the future? In fact, there was no need for such worry.

“Okay, then you go back to the manor and rest well. Wait for me to come home,” she said.

Mu Chengxi knew that Wen Xin wanted to reassure him. Given the situation, he certainly should not add to her pressure. After speaking with Wen Xin in a feigned casual manner, he hung up the phone.

All he could do now was to patiently wait for news from Wen Xin.

Just as the vehicle was about a kilometer away from the checkpoint, the convoy suddenly stopped. Chief Zhou hurriedly got off his vehicle, walked over to Wen Xin’s car, and gently knocked on her window.

Wen Xin rolled down the window and saw Chief Zhou’s expression was one of impatience, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

“Miss Wen, the situation at the checkpoint is not looking good. We’ve received news that there are fifteen mercenaries in a squad at the checkpoint, all armed. Even if we try to force our way through, we are facing the risk of both the cars and people getting destroyed,” Chief Zhou reported.

“There’s a raised piece of land about three hundred meters ahead. The driver and I will go there. You all should continue forward, and when you get to the checkpoint, cooperate with their search and try to lure them out. Leave the rest to me!” Wen Xin stated, her head lowered as she looked at the game page in her hands, her voice remaining calm, as if she didn’t consider the risks Chief Zhou mentioned seriously at all.

Chief Zhou originally wanted to say something else, but seeing Wen Xin’s indifferent attitude, he found himself at a loss for words. He had categorized Wen Xin as unreliable, thinking that she was merely playing with fire.

And they would have to bear the consequences of Wen Xin’s recklessness. This time, it seemed impossible to avoid casualties.

“Miss Wen, I only hope you can protect the goods!” Chief Zhou said, and without giving Wen Xin a chance to speak, turned and left.

After Chief Zhou had left, Wen Xin lifted her head from her phone, looking in the direction he went. Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and a mischievous smile spread across her lips.

“Some people love to say one thing and mean another. They claim to trust me with their words, but in their hearts, they’ve never truly believed in me. It’s really quite interesting!” she murmured.

Mo Xuan, who was driving, caught sight of Wen Xin’s expression through the rearview mirror, and in that moment, he too was confused.

In fact, he had never truly believed that Wen Xin had the capability of doing what she claimed she could.

He had clearly heard the helpless yet indulgent tone in Mu Chengxi’s voice.

He had always felt that Mu Chengxi’s indulgence was simply due to the pampering and tolerance born out of love for her.

“You don’t have to look at me with that kind of eyes. I know you all look down on me. I’m not doing anything to prove myself to you; I just want to get back to the manor,” Wen Xin said, disembarking from the vehicle and walking around to the driver’s side where she opened the door, addressing the seated Mo Xuan with a tone both cold and irritable.

“Get out, we’re switching cars,” she commanded.

This was the first time Mo Xuan had been scolded like this by a woman, and he was a bit slow to react.

“`

He had been by Mu Chengxi’s side since he was eighteen, and no one had ever treated him like this before; Wen Xin was the first.

“Miss Wen…”

Mo Xuan struggled to contain the anger in his heart. His respect for Wen Xin stemmed entirely from his respect for Mu Chengxi; he just believed that Mu Chengxi wouldn’t fancy an ordinary person.

But he had never met a woman with a temper like Wen Xin’s. Even if he could bear it, that didn’t mean he was without limits.

“Miss Wen, not everyone will indulge you. As Master Xi’s woman, we don’t expect you to be virtuous and demure, but I hope you won’t cause trouble for everyone! You, a girl, insist on barging into such a dangerous place.”

“Now that you regret it and want to go back to the manor, just be well-behaved, and I’ll find a way to take you back!”

“Also, don’t think you can do anything you want. You are indeed quite capable of dealing with Muxi, but those people are mercenaries, not Muxi, you…”

Before Mo Xuan could finish speaking, he felt a numbness in his neck and, in disbelief, looked up at Wen Xin, not knowing what she had done to him.

“Why does a big man have to talk so much? Such a chatterbox! Mu Bei might be a bit slow, but he knows how to act appropriately. The people from this manor… I don’t like them.”

Wen Xin, watching the now-quiet Mo Xuan, made eye contact with him and snapped her fingers in front of his eyes.

“Listen to me, get out of the car now and take a seat in the last vehicle of the convoy.”

“Okay, as Miss Wen wishes!”

Mo Xuan, suddenly transformed into a different person—submissive and obedient—unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and without any hesitation, walked to the car at the end, opened the door, and got in.

After Mo Xuan got in the car, Wen Xin took the driver’s seat, adjusted the seat, and without waiting for the others to react, she drove off.

Chief Zhou watched Wen Xin’s car leaving ahead and unconsciously cursed to himself.

“Damn it, encountering such a restless master. If I can make it back alive, I must have a serious talk with Master Xi. This ignorant woman only causes trouble; what use is she? If she were just a vase, idly trapped like a goldfish, that would suffice!”

“Everyone be alert later. The checkpoint is crowded and complex; we must act swiftly. Draw the people out, then strike. We are fifteen people up against fifteen mercenaries. Although it’s difficult, it’s not impossible to win!”

At this moment, Chief Zhou had placed all his hopes on himself. In his view, Wen Xin was just fooling around. To leave alive with the goods, they could only rely on themselves.

Wen Xin had already looked over the map of this place before leaving. She had the terrain clearly memorized in her mind and quickly found the high ground she had planned in advance.

She drove the car up to the high ground and, carrying a black bag, easily jumped onto the roof of the car.

On the rooftop, she got her sniper rifle ready, adjusted the scope, and loaded the bullets…

Everything was set, just waiting for Chief Zhou’s convoy to lure those people out of the checkpoint.

Wen Xin watched the occupants of the checkpoint pavilion through her scope. When she saw that they were even barbecuing, she smiled lightly. These people really knew how to enjoy themselves…

If it weren’t for the concern of affecting those still waiting to pass the checkpoint, she would toss a bomb over, and these people would be taken care of easily…
