A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 748: Chapter 747: The Brilliant Judgment Hits Muxi Hard
As every second slowly ticked by, Muxi experienced for the first time the feeling that every second seemed like an eternity…

Eight minutes later, Muxi’s phone suddenly rang. He quickly picked it up and answered the call.

“What’s the situation?” Before the person on the other end could speak, Muxi directly asked, his emotions extremely anxious at the moment, having been waiting for this news.

“Mr. Muxi, as expected, there were indeed two teams lying in ambush at those two locations, including two snipers, one spotter, and two assault teams, four in each, totaling twelve people—all captured!”

Chief Zhou’s tone was a bit excited. They had prepared for a fierce battle on their way there. These men were well-trained mercenaries, and capturing them in advance was almost unbelievable.

“Mr. Muxi, are you listening to me…”

Just then, a loud horn resounded across the dock, the sound of a cargo ship entering port…

“I heard you. Secure the weapons, bring back the people. The cargo ship has already docked; I’m going to meet it…”

Muxi suppressed the complex emotions in his heart. He didn’t want to concede that Mu Bei’s information was accurate, nor could he believe that Mu Bei possessed such keen observational skills.

But undeniably, Mu Bei was right, and he had helped them avoid a big problem…

Muxi stepped out of the car. The people who had been standing by their vehicles all crowded around, following Muxi towards the dock.

Mu Bei watched Wen Xin, who was calmly playing games in the car, hesitate for a moment before asking in a somewhat husky voice, “Miss Wen, aren’t you going out?”

“There’s no rush. I heard that the two parties haven’t settled on a price yet. I’ll go out after they’ve agreed on the price. After all… my identity doesn’t quite fit standing in the middle!”

As she said this, Wen Xin looked down at her phone and smiled faintly. It had been a long time since she saw the people from the 26th Institute, and she wondered if her appearance might startle them.

Mu Bei, considering Wen Xin’s smile and thinking about her identity, nodded in agreement. He felt that what Wen Xin said was true; her presence during the price negotiation definitely seemed inappropriate.

“Then Miss Wen, I’ll go check on the situation for you. When they’ve settled on a price, I’ll send you a message!”

Mu Bei had the urge to join the excitement, as it was his first time attending such a transaction, and he was full of curiosity about the process.

In fact, deep down, Mu Bei was quite looking forward to seeing Wen Xin step out of the car.

He was anticipating Wen Xin getting out of the car and revealing her connection with the 26th Institute, dealing Mu Bei a profound blow. That would be much more thrilling.

“Hmm, you go first, and message me when the time is right. I’ll come to take a look.”

Wen Xin’s attention was on the game on her phone. Her teammates had quit mid-game, and with two bots and two players whose skills weren’t very good, she needed to be extra careful to win.

After receiving Wen Xin’s permission, Mu Bei immediately got out of the car and ran quickly into the crowd to join the spectacle.

When Mu Bei appeared beside Muxi, Muxi was about to scold Mu Bei for joining the hubbub, but then he suddenly remembered the capture of the mercenaries who had been lying in wait.

He swallowed back the words he was about to say, hid the disdain in his eyes, and turned his head away from Mu Bei standing beside him now.

All of Muxi’s expressions were observed by Mu Bei. Seeing Muxi’s hesitation, Mu Bei frowned slightly and leaned in close to Muxi to ask what was wrong, if there was anything he wanted to say.

Just then, before Mu Bei could speak, several people emerged from the huge cruise ship docked beside the pier.

The man at the front was wearing a silver mask, and the people following him wore white masks, clearly not wanting their true faces to be recognized.

“Mr. Muxi, good day, I am Berry from the 26th Institute. Today, I come bearing sincerity; we’ve brought both the most advanced thermal weapons and our latest developed weapons. However, I am not satisfied with your price—I need a ten percent increase in order to hand over the latest thermal weapons to you.”

Hearing about the ten percent, Muxi’s complexion turned quite unsightly. He knew Berry always had something up his sleeve by not quoting a price, but he never expected Berry to demand such a huge markup right from the start.

“Mr. Berry, we had agreed in advance that the increase would be no more than five percent. Any more than that is impossible; we cannot agree to your ten percent!”

Muxi looked sternly at Berry. He knew the thermal weapons market was tough recently, but such a sudden increase was unacceptable to him.

“Mr. Muxi, surely you can make this decision? You might want to consider it well. Our thermal weapons are the most advanced in the world, and given your relationship with the Independent State, we at the 26th Institute are probably the only ones who dare supply you with thermal weapons.”

Berry then walked down the stairs from the cruise ship and approached Muxi, locking eyes with him.

“So this deal, you pretty much just have the chance to agree. Otherwise, if you miss out this time, there might not be another opportunity for cooperation!”

Berry had a real talent for pricing discussions. He had many tactics, and in his past experiences, he could easily handle even the most difficult clients because he would understand their pressure points before making a deal.

Wen Xin sat in the car, having finished a game. She did not start another, but instead watched the time on her phone, waiting for a message from Mu Bei.

After about fifteen minutes without any messages, Wen Xin put her phone in her pocket, pulled her jacket’s hood over her head, opened the car door, and got out unhurriedly.

Seeing Wen Xin leaving the car, the driver also quickly got out and followed Wen Xin in the direction of the pier.

Wen Xin’s pace was swift, and soon she had found a quiet spot; she listened to the ongoing negotiations between Berry and Muxi, which were still intense.

Muxi was firmly holding to an eight percent increase, with a determined and definite expression, showing no possibility of yielding further, his face growing somewhat fierce due to the agitation.

Meanwhile, Berry was still insisting on a ten percent increase, making no concessions at all. Wearing the mask, none of his expressions could be discerned.

Wen Xin listened in from the side for about five minutes and felt that continuing the argument might not yield much. An eight percent increase was already the biggest concession Muxi was offering, increasing the price by a billion, likely already exceeding their initial budget.

Wen Xin had never inquired about the budget for this transaction with Mu Chengxi before coming, but she had seen the transaction details at the 26th Institute.
