Mu Chengxi, who was sitting on the sofa, finally felt his phone vibrate. When he saw Wen Xin’s message, a smile finally appeared on his cold face.
Liang Luoyu, who was at the side, saw this scene and nudged Gu Yanzhe with his elbow. He said softly,” Look at him. How does he look like someone who had a fight?” This is clearly a man in love!”
Gu Yanzhe looked at Mu Chengxi and nodded in agreement. He admitted that it was indeed a misunderstanding. He also believed Gu Yanzhe’s words—Mu Chengxi would not quarrel with Wen Xin.
Five hours later, Wen Xin appeared in a villa in Ancient Town Square. There were about thirty people sitting in the living room. Many of them had never seen Wen Xin before, and only a few had seen her when she was in the sanatorium.
“Miss Wen.”
Seeing Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan walk in together, a man on the armchair immediately stood up and greeted Wen Xin respectfully. The rest of the people who knew Wen Xin also greeted her politely.
Wen Xin was very surprised by the way they addressed her. It seemed that Chu Yunxuan had already given instructions before she came over.
“Let’s go upstairs to the study.”
When Wen Xin got there, she heard that the Shadow Alliance was preparing to take action tonight. She had thought that there would be plenty of time, but now she was caught off guard.
The group of people followed Wen Xin upstairs. The people sitting in the living room looked at each other, seemingly very confused about Wen Xin’s identity.
“Do you know who that beautiful little girl is? Why did our boss’s attitude change when she came?”
“That’s right. A little girl can actually make our boss bow. It’s really strange. You have to know that even Miss Chu, our boss, has never shown such an expression. Could the little girl be more powerful than Miss Chu?”
“I don’t know if she’s powerful or not, but she’s really beautiful. Perhaps she’s our president’s woman. If not, how could she make our boss bow?”
“I think it’s possible. Haven’t you heard? He’s not young anymore, and he’s not very healthy either. Some people haven’t seen him in three years.”
“I’ve heard about it too. I heard that the old alliance leader is very capable. Although he doesn’t show himself, everyone in the Chou Alliance respects him very much, especially the elders of the Chou Alliance. It can be said that they obey his orders.”
“That’s for sure. The old president has money, power, and everything he wants.
He’ll definitely be respected. I also heard that the Chou Alliance is the most loyal alliance. You’ll be put in an important position as long as you’re loyal. I’ve already sworn that I’ll be loyal to the old president.”
Downstairs, there were many voices expressing their sincerity. Wen Xin looked at Chu Yunxuan and raised her eyebrows slightly.” Am I very old?”
Upon hearing this question, the solemn atmosphere in the study suddenly eased up a lot. Song Zhiyong looked at Wen Xin and shook his head with a light smile.” You can’t blame them for thinking that the Alliance Master is an old man. When we first met you, we also couldn’t believe that you were the Alliance Master of the Chou Alliance!”
He did not know how Wen Xin had taken over Chou Alliance, but he knew that ever since it had fallen into Wen Xin’s hands, it had become more organized, and its influence had become very powerful.
“Alright, I admit that it was my fault. I made them misunderstand.”
Actually, this was quite good. Hiding her identity also saved her a lot of trouble.
“I’ve received news that the people from the Shadow Alliance will take action tonight. They have already prepared the ships and will load them at 1 am. The firearms in their hands are very advanced. I request that you ensure your safety and make preparations in advance. I don’t want any casualties.”
“Miss Wen, don’t worry. We’ve already set a good spot. This time, the people from the M organization have also appeared around the warehouse. We can’t help but bump into them. However, I’ve already reminded our people that if we encounter people from the M organization, we won’t go against them. Our target is the Shadow Alliance.”
Zhang Zhi’s tone was somewhat unconvinced. They could have swallowed those things themselves, but after M stopped them, their leader actually made a concession. He could accept that he wouldn’t get anything as long as the Shadow Alliance paid the price.
“Have you found out why the M Organization is here?” Wen Xin was very puzzled by the appearance of the M Organization. She could not understand why the M Organization, which had been active outside the borders, would come to the Ancient Town Square and target the Shadow Alliance’s goods.
“We haven’t found why yet. Those people are not easy to investigate in the first place. There’s no information. This time, they appeared too suddenly, making us unable to start searching.”
Kaman, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, said in embarrassment. This was something he should have investigated, but he had found nothing in the end.
“It happened so suddenly, so this situation is understandable. You guys take your men and rest well. We’ll investigate slowly after we’ve dealt with the Shadow Alliance. Anyway, we and the M Organization have no grudge, so they won’t dare to act rashly.”
Everyone left the study after Wen Xin spoke. Chu Yunxuan sat down opposite and took out a key from her pocket, placing it in front of Wen Xin.
“Grandma’s house, I’ve already gotten someone to clean it up. When it’s done, you can go and take a look. I’ve already picked up Guagua and Huahua from
Aunt Li’s house for you, and I’ve already taken them to the pet shop for a bath. Are you really going to take them to Ice City? Do you have time to take care of them?”
“I can put them in Mu Chengxi’s house. It’s too quiet at home. With Guagua and Huahua around, it’ll be livelier. Even if Mu Chengxi doesn’t have time, I still have you, don’t I? You can help me take care of them. A family has to be neat and tidy.”
Wen Xin thought of her grandmother, who was still in the nursing home. She had called Aunt Yao and naturally knew that Su Li was looking for her grandmother. She had wanted to comfort her grandmother, but her grandmother was unwilling to pick up her call.
Aunt Yao comforted her, saying that her grandmother felt sorry for her and did not know how to talk to her. However, she knew that her grandmother was blaming her. She was blaming her for not fulfilling her promise to her grandfather and not stopping Su Li.
Wen Xin leaned against the back of her chair with her eyes closed and sighed softly.
After three minutes of silence, Wen Xin slowly said,” I saw the picture you sent me that day. That person is Geng Shikui’s son, Geng Zewei. I’ve checked his information, and there are six years that are blank. When you have time, send a message to Yanqing and ask him to investigate Geng Zewei. I’m guessing that Geng Zewei is the leader of the Shadow Alliance, Aiden’s godson. He’s been cultivating his connections recently, and it seems like he wants to be Aiden’s successor.”
“Are you saying that the lunatic who caused his company to go bankrupt is Aiden’s godson? If that’s the case, then it’s indeed normal for him to look down on the Geng family’s assets..”
