âAre you leaving? Arenât we having dinner together tonight? I feel like Iâve inconvenienced you by giving you boxed lunch for lunch!â Yuan Junye politely inquired as he watched Wen Xin packing her things.
âNo need, Iâm going to meet Mu Chengxi. They are having dinner with Ling Yichen tonight, and Nan Xu is there too. Do you want to join us? I can introduce you. I heard that youâve been having trouble with the Yuans,â
Wen Xin said casually as she took a piece of chocolate from her backpack and put it in her mouth.
Yuan Junye shook his head as he glanced at the packaging of the chocolate in Wen Xinâs hand. He smiled gently at her. freewe(b)novel.com
âNo need. The Yuans, Mus, and Lings are not in the same league. Thereâs quite a gap in our statuses. If word gets out that I used you to get close to them, rumors and conspiracy theories will start circulating again. Letâs have dinner together some other time.â
âI can handle the Yuans on my own. Iâll walk you downstairs.â
Yuan Junye didnât regard the people from the Yuan family who were causing trouble as a serious threat. He saw them as nothing more than clowns, not worth his attention.
âNo need to walk me downstairs. You go deal with your matters. I can manage on my own. Iâll come over when I have the time.â Wen Xin casually tossed the chocolate wrapper into a nearby trash can and left the office without looking back.
Standing in the office, Yuan Junye watched the discarded chocolate wrapper in the trash can, lost in thought. He thought that Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi made a good couple. At the very least, ordinary people couldnât afford this brand of
chocolate. Mu Chengxi was willing to share the best things with Wen Xin.
As Wen Xin left Tianye Technology Company, she felt someone was following her. Without turning around, she headed straight for the parking lot.
When she reached the parking lot, four burly men suddenly appeared behind her. Wen Xin remained calm, turned around, and leaned lazily against her car, her gaze cold as she faced the four men now in front of her.
âWhat do you want?â Wen Xin asked, her eyebrows low, showing that she didnât consider the four men in front of her a threat. She just didnât want to waste time.
âMiss, in a place like Beijing, itâs not enough to have wealthy backers. Those powerful people, if they want you dead, you canât escape. Let me remind you:
youâve offended someone you shouldnât have. Someone wants us to deal with you!â
One of the men with the most facial hair spoke as he approached Wen Xin. He didnât hesitate to reach for Wen Xinâs arm, thinking that her slender figure was no match for their strength. They thought sending four men was a bit of an overkill.
Wen Xin glanced at the man who approached her, opened the driverâs door, and threw her backpack onto the driverâs seat before confidently slamming the car door.
The man with the thick beard thought Wen Xin was getting into the car to negotiate, so he rushed to Wen Xinâs side and tried to grab her arm.
Just as he touched Wen Xin, she reversed her hand and restrained him. He never expected Wen Xin to have such strength, and he looked at her in astonishment.
He tried to break free, but it was already too late. There was a crisp sound, and his arm was instantly broken, sending a searing pain throughout his body. Seeing their leader injured, the other three rushed toward Wen Xin, but she threw the bearded man at one of them, knocking him out.
The other two men reached Wen Xin and tried to attack her from both sides. Wen Xin squinted her eyes and kicked forcefully. Her kick landed on the chest of one of the men, and he was sent flying several meters before landing on top of the two men lying on the ground.
In an instant, three out of the four men were incapacitated by Wen Xin. She looked at the man who had stopped in his tracks with a disdainful smile.
âWhatâs wrong? Your brothers have already gone ahead. Are you having second thoughts?â
âBoss, I was wrong!â The burly man who had stopped suddenly knelt on the ground, realizing that begging for mercy might be his only way out. If begging for mercy could resolve the situation, he was willing to kowtow to spare himself.
Wen Xin, standing still, gave the man a disdainful smile and leaned lazily against her car. She took out a lollipop from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
âSpeak. Who paid you to cause trouble? Donât tell me you donât know their identity. If youâre uncertain, give me your contact information, and Iâll investigate it myself. If I canât find out, you wonât be leaving todayâŠâ
Wen Xinâs tone was cold and wicked. She was not in a good mood at the moment. She didnât expect someone to be so eager to pick a fight as soon as she arrived in the capital.
âThis is that personâs phone number. We donât know who she is, but she was very generous. She said sheâd pay ten million to buy your two arms⊠We donât know her identity!â The man on the ground handed over his phone, realizing that cooperation might be his only way out of this situation.
Wen Xin took the phone from the man and, after a moment, a message from Gu Xiang appeared on the bulky black phone, along with contact information for her family members. Wen Xin saw a familiar person on the screen. She did not expect Gu Xiang to be Gu Yanzheâs sister. It seemed that this matter was very interesting.
Wen Xin took out a silver needle from her pocket and threw it at the kneeling man. He was instantly immobilized.
Wen Xin hesitated for a moment, then dialed Mu Chengxiâs number.
Meanwhile, Mu Chengxi was sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone, waiting for Wen Xinâs message. He wasnât sure if she had finished her work, so he didnât want to disturb her. freeweb(n)ovel
When he saw Wen Xinâs call, Mu Chengxi quickly answered it. Mu Chengxu, who had been watching him closely, couldnât help but give him a contemptuous look. She despised her brother for becoming such a henpecked husband even before getting married.
âWhen are you coming over?â Mu Chengxi asked.
âI canât make it there. Do you know Gu Xiang?â Wen Xinâs tone was lazy and emotionless, but Mu Chengxi could tell that she wasnât in a good mood.
âGu Xiang? Gu Yancheâs sister? What happened to her? Did she bother you?â Mu Chengxiâs voice carried a hint of nervousness. He knew about Wen Xinâs skills, and he naturally knew that she wouldnât get hurt under normal circumstances. But accidents could always happen.
âAs expected, sheâs his sister. She paid four burly men ten million to cripple my hands. Iâm at the parking lot of the technology park in the city. Can you come over and handle this?â
Mu Chengxiâs phone was on speaker mode. After Wen Xin finished speaking, everyoneâs faces turned grim.
Gu Yancheâs face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble. His eyes, full of the desire to survive, stared fixedly at Mu Chengxi..
