A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 729: Chapter 728: The Oppressive Feeling That Renders Wen Xin Helpless
Early in the morning, Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin were awakened by a knock on the door. Mu Chengxi casually grabbed a bathrobe nearby to put on and walked to the door, asking with impatience in his voice.

“What’s the matter?”

“Both of your phones were turned off, and there was no other way but to come and knock. There’s news about the piano competition. It’s indeed not any serious piano competition. Many of the participating teams have lost contact after arriving in Country D, of course, including the team from Jingda University.”

Chu Yunxuan conveyed the information through the door to Mu Chengxi. Wen Xin, who was lying inside the bedroom, heard everything clearly. She abruptly sat up on the bed, swung her legs over the side, scrambled through the pile of clothes to find her phone, and plugged in the charger, waiting for it to boot up quickly.

Wen Xin crouched next to the table, watching her phone struggle to light up, her brows tightly furrowed. She was feeling somewhat agitated now.

At this moment, Mu Chengxi walked up from behind Wen Xin, gently picked her up from the ground, placed her on the bed, and soothed her in a gentle voice.

“Don’t worry for now. The sudden disappearance of so many people will cause great social unrest. Anyone with a bit of sense will ensure their safety. Rest assured, they will be fine!”

Wen Xin was tightly embraced by Mu Chengxi, who could clearly feel her trembling. He knew what Tan Xingyue meant to Wen Xin and worried that Wen’s emotions might spiral out of control.

Wen Xin tightly clutched the clothes at Mu Chengxi’s side, trying to calm herself down. But every time she thought of the organizer’s name, she couldn’t keep her composure.

“Do you know about Kunshan? Kunshan is a mountain in Independent State known as Divine Mountain. Everyone regards Kunshan as a faith, but no one knows how terrifying it is inside…”

“There’s a huge laboratory… conducting all kinds of research…”

“It’s also the place where the chosen meet their fate, where innocent people lose their lives…”

With each word Wen Xin uttered, her grip around Mu Chengxi involuntarily tightened, and Mu Chengxi could also clearly feel her trembling. It was a fear that came from the soul.

Ever since Mu Chengxi met Wen Xin, he had thought of her as a girl who knew no fear. But this time, Wen Xin was different; she was afraid. Her fear of that place was more than just terror; it was dread.

He was very curious about what Wen Xin had experienced there, what could have made a person who had always been fearless become so scared when mentioning that place?

“Maybe… it’s just a coincidence?”

Mu Chengxi knew that this was not the time to ask Wen Xin about Kunshan, preferring to chalk everything up to coincidence to comfort her, to help her calm down a bit.

“I also thought it was a coincidence at first, but is such a big move really a coincidence?”

Wen Xin’s eyes were tightly closed. She had heard from Sun Ning about Independent State’s laboratory attempting to control humans with viruses. This time, these people could very likely become test subjects.

Putting aside the fact that Tan Xingyue was among these people, even if she weren’t, Wen Xin couldn’t pretend to be unaware of this matter. She couldn’t allow Independent State to continue doing whatever they wanted.

“So what are you planning to do? Are you going to D country?” Mu Chengxi knew that he couldn’t stop Wen Xin, in the instant just now, he had made ready to leave at any moment…

“I’ll have Mu Zhong make the arrangements.” Mu Chengxi spoke gently to Wen Xin; he wanted his actions to tell her that no matter what, he would always be by her side.

“I…”

“Drifting slowly down…” At that moment, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang. Mu Chengxi turned to look and saw an unfamiliar phone number. He picked up the phone and handed it to Wen Xin.

Wen Xin looked at the caller ID and immediately answered the call; a deep and familiar voice came from the other side.

“I know you’re investigating Kunshan Group. You shouldn’t get involved with Kunshan Group’s affairs. Those people will soon lose contact with the outside world.”

“Alfredo, do you know what you’re doing? Is Kunshan Group from Independent State? What exactly do they want to do!”

Wen Xin held the phone and shouted anxiously, she had previously not wanted to have anything to do with Independent State just to get away from their lunatic lifestyles, but later she realized that some things you just can’t shake off.

“The piano competition is real. Kunshan Group only wants to secure a position in Beijing; they won’t do anything excessive.”

“As for those participating in the piano competition, you can rest assured, they’re safe. They’ve just entered a signal jamming zone, there’s no danger.”

“Now that signal jamming has been lifted, those from Jingda University should be able to make contact now; no need to worry too much!”

Alfredo explained softly and deeply to Wen Xin, as patient as if pacifying a freaked-out child, hoping she would calm down and not be too agitated.

“The entire piano competition will be broadcast live, and your aunt will also participate in this one. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her about it. Trust me, those people will be fine!”

“Alfredo, are you warning me? If I don’t step aside and let Kunshan Group into Beijing, will you take action against my aunt and those international contestants? Aren’t you being a bit too despicable? Don’t you forget who is the Monarch of Independent State.”

When Alfredo mentioned her aunt, Wen Xin had already detected the threat in his tone; he knew what her vulnerabilities were…

“No threat, you will always be my master, but only to me! You should be very clear about what kind of people are in Independent State; I called just to tell you not to act rashly…”

After finishing, Alfredo hung up the call. Each word and distrust from Wen Xin stabbed deep into his heart like a knife. He wanted to pretend he didn’t care, but he couldn’t…

Wen Xin looked at the hung-up phone, her anger reaching the breaking point, yet she couldn’t deny Alfredo’s words; they were true. Now was not the time to act.

Wen Xin threw the phone on the bed and held Mu Chengxi tightly, burying her face in his chest, mumbling, “Let Liang Luoyu go to D country to find Tan Xingyue, to stay with Tan Xingyue. If something doesn’t seem right, bring her back to the country at once… For everything else… we’ll just have to wait and see!”

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s body, feeling her powerlessness very clearly. For a moment, he also didn’t know how to comfort Wen Xin. It seemed his plans had to be accelerated.
