Chapter 966: 964 "Am I afraid of them? They should be afraid of me instead, that's arrogance.

Wen Xin’s gaze had remained fixed on Old Mr. Ou, and she naturally noticed the change in his eyes, allowing a gentle smile to spread across her face.

“Indeed, the thing that Ou Shen Zhi treasured like a jewel was my discarded draft. I didn’t say anything at the time because I never thought he would study it so seriously…”

Wen Xin tilted her head, looking at Old Mr. Ou with a slight upward curve of her lips, a playful smile appearing on her face.

“I know that your most cherished grandson is Ou Shen Zhi, Old man. You hesitate to speak to me because you feel guilty…”

“But don’t worry, old man, I do have my conditions. If you let me take Ou Shen Zhi out, then you, on the other hand, help me protect Beijing, especially the Mu family. Can you promise me that?”

Wen Xin knew that Old Mr. Ou disliked owing favors, and fortunately, she also needed his help, so this trade was very beneficial for both parties.

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Old Mr. Ou’s eyes brightened for a moment, and he feigned calmness as he spoke, “Wen Xin, I will definitely protect Beijing well. As for Shen Zhi… there’s no need to offend the people from the Independent State because of him…”

“The people from the Independent State? I’m not afraid of offending them.” Speaking of the Wen family from the Independent State, Wen Xin scoffed derisively and mentioned offending others. She wasn’t concerned about adding another issue to her list, although Ou Shen Zhi’s situation might just make the Old Fox even more disgusted.

Thinking about this, Wen Xin felt even more certain that bringing Ou Shen Zhi back was the right choice. This way, she could really irritate the Old Fox.

Old Mr. Ou, with his head bowed, looked at Wen Xin’s mischievous demeanor and sighed softly a few times, feeling that he was increasingly in debt to Wen Xin.

Old Mr. Ou didn’t make any further polite remarks, but after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke softly, “Then I’ll trouble you. When Ou Shen Zhi returns, I’ll make sure he properly takes responsibility for his actions.”

After leaving the Mu family’s house, it had already grown dark. Wen Xin got into the car parked by the roadside and left the Ou residence just as Ou Shen Zhi’s parents arrived, perfectly missing her.

Following Wen Xin’s treatment, Old Mr. Ou had regained his former vigorous spirit, especially under the care of Wen Xin’s nursing, knowing that Wen Xin would bring Ou Shen Zhi back, he felt exceptionally refreshed and invigorated.

Ou Shen Zhi’s parents walked in from outside and were shocked by Old Mr. Ou’s renewed vigor. They had left in the morning when Old Mr. Ou was still very weak; seeing him so changed now seemed almost unbelievable.

“Dad, Mr. Zhuge’s medical arts are indeed becoming more and more impressive. You’ve improved so much just over the course of an afternoon. Is there still any discomfort anywhere?”

Seeing Old Mr. Ou’s remarkable recovery, Ou Shen Zhi’s parents were genuinely happy. They felt that as long as Old Mr. Ou was around, Ou Shen Zhi would not face any problems, and the Ou family would not follow the same fate as the Jiang family.

Old Mr. Ou didn’t respond to Mr. Ou’s words; he just lifted his head and glanced indifferently at the couple sitting opposite him, “Have you heard what happened to the Jiang family? This time, the Jiang family might really be finished.”

“Yes, the Jiang family truly has no chance of turning things around this time. The military factory has declared bankruptcy, and the Jiang family’s villa was seized early this morning… Even Old Jiang, who is lying in the hospital, has been moved to a regular ward, and I heard that Jin Zhi’s wife paid for his hospital fees.”

At this point, Mr. Ou’s tone became somewhat displeased; the Ou family members were especially protective, and they often expressed dissatisfaction with the attitude towards Jin Zhi’s wife from the Jiang family.

Old Mr. Ou, looking at Mr. Ou’s aggrieved demeanor, felt somewhat proud, seeing them defend their own family was indeed a sign of a united family.

“Since the Jiang family is no more, it’s only right for Jin Zhi to show filial piety through his clothes. There’s nothing wrong with that! Alright, it’s about time. You two should join me for a meal.”

As he spoke, Old Mr. Ou stood up from the sofa and with the butler’s assistance, walked into the dining room.

Watching the old man’s slightly stooped back, Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou found it hard to disturb his peace and quiet. After exchanging glances, they mutually decided not to burden the old man with worries about the younger generation anymore, so they simply chose not to bring up Ou Shen Zhi’s matter again.

In this way, Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou tacitly kept their meal with Old Mr. Ou simple, without engaging in unnecessary conversation.

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Ou casually chatted with Old Mr. Ou for a few moments before the elder, looking tired, stood up to go upstairs to rest.@@novelbin@@

Just as Old Mr. Ou reached the staircase, he turned around and spoke earnestly, “Don’t bother Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi anymore. Wen Xin said she could bring Shen Zhi back. Since she promised, she will certainly do it.”

Unexpectedly, Wen Xin had agreed to save Ou Shen Zhi, which dissolved the anxiety in Mr. and Mrs. Ou’s hearts into nothingness. For a moment, they were so moved that they did not know what to say.

After leaving the Ou Clan, Wen Xin did not return to the Wen family home, but directly drove to the airport. She was there to meet those coming from the sanatorium and to place them in the Mu family residence, to ensure Old Madam Mu’s safety, which was of utmost importance.

Upon entering the airport, Wen Xin spotted a familiar figure, followed by several others, some of whom she recognized.

With Qian Meng by her side, he too noticed Mu Chengxi hurriedly passing by and was surprised that Mu Chengxi, despite having returned to the country, had not sought out Wen Xin immediately.

“Did you just see anyone?” Qian Meng turned to look at Wen Xin and asked with a hint of curiosity, wanting to confirm if he had mistaken someone in that fleeting moment.

“No, I didn’t see anything.”

Speaking thus, Wen Xin paid no heed to Qian Meng and headed straight towards the exit to wait for the others.

Watching Wen Xin’s retreating figure, Qian Meng’s shrewd eyes narrowed slightly, and from the change in Wen Xin’s gaze, he could tell she had indeed seen Mu Chengxi, but she simply did not want to admit it.

Realizing this, Qian Meng quickly followed after the departing figure of Wen Xin.

By the time Qian Meng caught up, Wen Xin had already come from the direction of the exits, followed by more than ten men in black, all of whom appeared to be professionally trained, exuding a strong sense of security.

Thus, at the Beijing airport, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi each with their own teams of well-trained men departed.

As they left the airport, Wen Xin arranged for Chen Yian and others to come outside. She had Chen Yian ride in Qian Meng’s car while the rest boarded another business vehicle, and together, they departed from the Beijing airport.

Sitting in the car, Chen Yian felt a surge of excitement. After waiting all these years in the sanatorium, he was finally able to work closely with Wen Xin, which was truly a relief.
