Chapter 886 - 884: Master Xi Learned the Art of Bewitchment

Mr. Jiang looked at the man in black and was reminded of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi being together, chuckling softly.

“Forget it, there’s actually no need to investigate. Seeing how much Wen Xin likes him, even if there’s something I’m dissatisfied with, it won’t change Wen Xin’s mind. I might as well let her be happy!”

As he spoke, a look of indulgence and leniency appeared in Mr. Jiang’s eyes. He understood Wen Xin’s character well; she was a person of measure. If this boy wasn’t worthy of Wen Xin’s affection, she would never have agreed to get engaged.

He knew that Wen Xin was someone who would never debase herself.

The man in black listened to Mr. Jiang’s words and saw the indulgence in his eyes. He didn’t say much else, understanding why Mr. Jiang chose to stay here.

“Then, Mr. Jiang, I’ll arrange for the people who came with us to Beijing to settle down in the hotel first.”

It was always a hassle for Mr. Jiang to travel, and the people from the Chou League worried about his safety, so this time was no exception, and the group that came was quite large.

“Alright, you go ahead with your tasks, I need a good rest. I’m getting old, my body isn’t what it used to be, I’m a bit tired.”

After speaking, Mr. Jiang rose from the sofa, took a set of pajamas from his suitcase, and walked into the bathroom.

The man in black left Mr. Jiang’s room and happened to meet Wen Xin coming down from upstairs. Wen Xin raised her eyebrows at the man in black.

Seeing Wen Xin’s expression, the man in black unconsciously took a step back. He was somewhat reluctant to meet Wen Xin’s eyes, knowing she possessed special skills, and to avoid revealing too much, he consciously chose to evade.

The more he evaded, the more Wen Xin suspected there was something wrong with Mr. Jiang. She watched the man in black, her fingers quietly tapping on the stair’s handrail.

“Gong Ge, we’ve known each other for over ten years, haven’t we? You’re still so guarded around me, which seems a bit unreasonable, doesn’t it?”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Gong Ge’s body trembled involuntarily, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Young master, I’ve never guarded against you. I’ve always been by the Old Alliance Leader’s side, and I feel it would be more convenient for the Old Alliance Leader to tell the young master about some matters.”

Gong Ge kept his head down, avoiding Wen Xin’s gaze. He knew she must have intentionally cornered him here.

Seeing Gong Ge’s evasive expression, Wen Xin felt she might have gone too far and decided to relent, no longer making it difficult for Gong Ge.

She took a step back, clearing a path for Gong Ge to pass.

Gong Ge saw Wen Xin’s action and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she was ready to let him go.

After thanking her, he carried the leftovers from Mr. Jiang’s meal and went straight downstairs.

“Make sure all the people you brought are well hidden. Beijing can’t afford any more chaos lately, and I don’t want to deal with all your messy affairs.”

“Rest assured, young master, I will handle those matters right now.” Gong Ge turned to Wen Xin and spoke very earnestly, as they had not come to cause trouble for Wen Xin.

“Hmm, if there’s anything you need me to do, just ask.”

Wen Xin lounged lazily on the staircase, waving at Gong Ge to hurry up and handle those messy affairs.

After leaving the Wen family, Gong Ge got into a black car and left. Mu Chengxi stood upstairs, watching the departing car of Gong Ge, his deep eyes slightly narrowing.

Just as Wen Xin walked in, she saw Mu Chengxi’s action. She walked over to him, wrapped one hand around his waist, and looked up at him.

“What’s with that expression? Is there a problem?”

“Yes, there is.” Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s handsome face, couldn’t resist bending down to give her a light kiss, then spoke in a gentle tone, “Don’t you think that man is suspicious? His car had a Beijing license plate.”

“Of course, it’s suspicious, but it’s also normal. Although my foster father handed the Chou League over to me, there are still forces beyond the Chou League. However, I haven’t been interested enough to investigate them thoroughly.”

“But now it seems, the foster father still has deep ties that remain hidden. There must still be his forces in Beijing.”

If Mu Chengxi hadn’t brought up this topic, she might not have noticed these issues, but now that she had, she suddenly felt a bit of a headache coming on.

Wen Xin raised her head and looked at Mu Chengxi with an utterly innocent gaze.

“Could you perhaps handle this matter? I’m so busy right now, I don’t have time to pay attention to these things. Take a look at which forces in Beijing might be related to my foster father.”

Unexpectedly, Wen Xin asked him to handle this matter. Mu Chengxi indulgently agreed, “Okay, I’ll have Mo Xuan check into it. But knowing your foster father’s capabilities, if he wants to hide, it might take some time.”

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin suddenly thought of something. She leaned her head against Mu Chengxi’s chest and smiled softly, “Did you know? My foster father is also investigating you. He even placed an order with Di Ting, but Di Ting didn’t take the job.”

When Wen Xin heard this news, she wasn’t too surprised, merely telling Yan Qing not to accept the job was enough. Her foster father making such a move didn’t surprise her at all.

Mu Chengxi wasn’t too surprised upon hearing Wen Xin’s words either. He lifted his hand to gently rub the top of Wen Xin’s head, finally letting his fingers rest on her ear, softly pinching the contour of her ear.

“I’m aware he’s investigating me. It must be because his people couldn’t find any information about me in Province F, so they resorted to placing an order with Di Ting. Did he tell you this himself?”

Wen Xin hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi to suddenly ask this and felt as if she was playing with fire. She looked up at Mu Chengxi, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

“Well… actually… I…”

Seeing Wen Xin’s guilty expression for the first time, Mu Chengxi indulgently smiled softly, lowering his head to rest his forehead against hers.

“It’s alright, don’t rush to answer me. Tell me when you feel like discussing it!”

Mu Chengxi’s voice was gentle, like a clear spring flowing into Wen Xin’s heart. As Wen Xin looked at him, her gaze unconsciously shifted…

Wen Xin nearly didn’t maintain her last line of defense, almost revealing all her secrets…

However, she soon came to her senses. She looked at Mu Chengxi, her brow slightly furrowed. She suddenly felt as if Mu Chengxi was giving her an illusion of brainwashing.

“Hey, have you learned something new recently? I feel like you’re bewitching me. I keep having this illusion of being deceived… you’d better put away those unconventional tricks, I’m telling you… I’m not falling for them!”
