Chapter 868 - 866 Don't Bully Mu Bei, He's Not as Brave as You

“The sunflower seeds were given to me by Mu Bei, they have nothing to do with me!”

Xiao Mi hurriedly shifted all responsibility onto Mu Bei, who silently watched him without explaining a word more than necessary.

Wen Xin turned her gaze away from Xiao Mi and took Mu Chengxi’s hand, her voice cold and detached, “Stop bullying Mu Bei. He’s not as mischievous as you are. Hurry up and follow me, I have something to ask you.”

With that, Wen Xin walked toward the elevator, still holding Mu Chengxi’s hand.

Xiao Mi and Mu Bei exchanged glances, with Xiao Mi raising an eyebrow at Mu Bei, “So you’re the obedient one, now no one will believe you if you’re framed in the future.”

Mu Bei looked at Xiao Mi somewhat speechlessly and sighed softly, “Miss Second, our statuses are different. You are Miss Wen’s sister, and I am just an attendant. How bold do you think I need to be to dare do such a thing?”

Mu Bei was quite helpless regarding Xiao Mi’s actions; he was really fed up with this second miss.

Seeing the helpless look on Mu Bei’s face, Xiao Mi raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder, seemingly comforting Mu Bei, “Alright, alright, I’ve troubled you enough. Let’s go up quickly, they are waiting for us.”

With that, Xiao Mi walked toward the elevator with her hands shoved in her pockets, in a very arrogant manner.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon entering the house, only Wen Xin was left in the living room; Mu Chengxi was nowhere to be seen.

“Why are you here alone?” Xiao Mi looked around and finally settled her gaze on Wen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa.

“What? It’s me who wanted to see you. Why are you looking for Mu Chengxi?” Wen Xin looked at Xiao Mi with a light and helpless smile. She felt Xiao Mi appeared much better now than when they first met.

“Sit down. I have something to ask you and it’s very serious. I hope you will tell me everything honestly.”

At that moment, Wen Xin looked very serious, yet she didn’t appear as crazed as before, which relaxed Mu Bei. Wen Xin’s previous demeanor had been quite terrifying.

Xiao Mi sat down in front of Wen Xin and casually pulled out a piece of bubble gum from her pocket, unwrapping it and popping it into her mouth. She seemed to have realized what Wen Xin wanted to discuss.

“Do you know about the Shadow Alliance?”

Upon hearing Wen Xin mention the Shadow Alliance, Xiao Mi instantly tensed up from her previously relaxed state.

“You know about the Shadow Alliance too?”

Xiao Mi had known Wen Xin was capable, but didn’t know her true identity. Thus, when Wen Xin inquired about the Shadow Alliance, it took her by surprise.

“Knowing the Shadow Alliance is one thing, but knowing the internal affairs is another, you must be quite clear about it, right? Otherwise, the Old Fox wouldn’t have sent someone to kill you.”

Wen Xin’s tone was gentle yet firm, which placed an invisible pressure on Xiao Mi. Her first reaction was that she didn’t want Wen Xin to know too much about her past dealings.

“Must I talk about the Shadow Alliance? Actually, knowing too much about the Shadow Alliance won’t do you any good as the little princess of Independent State. You don’t need to know too much about those dirty things!”

Xiao Mi thought she was just a simple young girl, or rather, a pure little princess, with no idea of the burdens Wen Xin carried behind her.

“Being the little princess of the Independent State, should I not know those things? If you knew that our parents were assassinated by the Shadow Alliance, wouldn’t you think I should learn about those things?”

“If you knew that the Shadow Alliance had orchestrated your abduction from the start, wouldn’t you be willing to discuss the Shadow Alliance with me?”

“Moreover, you’re unaware that all the people in our parents’ lab died at the hands of the Shadow Alliance—don’t I have the right to understand these things I’ve never known about?”

At this point, Wen Xin’s tone had become ice-cold, while Xiao Mi’s expression had changed from indifference to shock, and finally to disbelief…

She couldn’t bear to think that the place where she had grown up was such an existence.

She only knew how dark the Shadow Alliance was and how disgusting the things they did were.

But she had never thought that those things were related to her.

“Are you saying our parents were killed by people from the Shadow Alliance? And they also killed the researchers in our parents’ lab?”

“Yes, that Aiden was someone by our father’s side. Our father treated him as a brother, yet he ended up dying by his hand.”

Wen Xin’s gaze was as icy as ever; if he could do it all over again, he would certainly not let Aiden die so easily.

Xiao Mi knew about the relationship between the Shadow Alliance and the Old Fox, and she absolutely couldn’t believe that the Old Fox would have harmed her parents.

Nobody could imagine that one’s own father would kill his son and daughter-in-law and turn his granddaughter into what she had become now…

“So you also know the Shadow Alliance is the Old Fox’s?” Xiao Mi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Wen Xin, now understanding why Wen Xin had suddenly come to her to inquire about the Shadow Alliance.

Standing to the side, Mu Bei listened as the conversation between the two sisters turned from curiosity to astonishment; now, she also understood why Wen Xin had been so agitated earlier.

If one could remain calm facing such events, they really must lack humanity.

“I only learned about this today from Wen Yunuo, and Wen Yunuo was unwilling to discuss the Shadow Alliance with me, so I had no choice but to ask you. Considering your skills, you must know about it!”

At that moment, Wen Xin’s tone was exceptionally cold. Although she was now calm, anger still seethed within her. If it weren’t impossible, she would want to rush to the Independent State right now to kill the Old Fox and avenge her parents.

“Wen Yunuo indeed doesn’t know about the Shadow Alliance. He has always been arranged by the Old Fox to handle business without ever touching these dark matters. He represents the brightest side of the Wen family…”

“Actually, there is another person in the Wen family who the Old Fox trusts the most. He not only handles the business aspects of the Wen family but also its dark side. The Old Fox has been grooming him as his successor.”

“He is the Old Fox’s second grandson.”

Xiao Mi had spent more time in the Wen family than any other assassin; she had grown up in the Wen family base and even after being sent to the Shadow Alliance, she was often able to return to the Wen family, so she was quite clear about what those people were up to.

“Actually, before entering the Shadow Alliance, the Old Fox had already changed the bloodline of the Shadow Alliance. All the old members had disappeared, leaving only Aiden’s followers.”
