Chapter 616: Couldn’t Resist, Threw Another Bomb
“Get in the car first.”
Wen Xin walked to the car, opened the door, and saw Mu Chengxi sitting inside. She frowned slightly. “You’re so disobedient. How will your injuries ever heal?”
“I was worried about you. The explosion just now…”
Mu Chengxi and Moore had arrived when the bomb had already hit the Wen family estate. From a distance, they had heard the explosion, and when they arrived, the front garden was already in ruins.
Fire trucks and ambulances were rushing in, and they followed suit.
“I threw the bomb. It was originally meant for them. I didn’t want to provoke them now and planned to settle scores later. But they were too annoying, wasting time, so I threw one just for fun. Let’s go back to the Earl’s Mansion.”
Wen Xin had heard from Moore that the energy of the ancient jade had somewhat recovered. She wanted to take Mu Chengxi back for further treatment. Although Mu Chengxi’s body had recovered reasonably well, she didn’t want him to return with injuries, causing unnecessary worry.
Back at the Earl’s Mansion, the old earl and his wife were already waiting for them in the living room. Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin’s rooms had been prepared.
As Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi into the living room, everyone around respectfully greeted Wen Xin. She barely acknowledged them with a slight nod and walked straight in.
Seeing Wen Xin, the old earl and his wife quickly stood up, intending to salute her. Wen Xin hurriedly let go of Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair and stepped forward to stop them.
“Master, Mistress, are you trying to scare me? How can I bear such a grand gesture from you?”
Wen Xin helped the old earl and his wife to sit down on the sofa. The old earl looked at her excitedly but held back his gratitude, remembering her earlier warning.
“Master, I brought Chengxi here today to borrow the ancient jade. His recovery is too slow, and I want to help him fully recover before taking him home. Is that convenient?”
Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi in front of the old earl and his wife and introduced them.
“Master, Mistress, this is my boyfriend, Mu Chengxi. Chengxi, this is my master and mistress, old friends of my father. When I came to the Independent State, my father entrusted me to their care. They have looked after me very well.”
Mu Chengxi could see Wen Xin’s deep respect for the old couple, so he politely greeted them, “Master, Mistress.”
“Good, good. We are happy to see our little princess find her love. The ancient jade’s energy has recovered a lot. Moore will take you to the divination hall to meet the clairvoyants. They will arrange the treatment for Mr. Mu.”
“Thank you, Master and Mistress.” Wen Xin didn’t want to waste time with Mu Chengxi’s treatment. She turned to look at Moore.
Moore understood her intention and nodded. “Follow me. I’ve already informed the clairvoyants. They should have prepared the ancient jade by now.”
With that, Moore led Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin away. The old earl and his wife continued to watch Mu Chengxi, feeling very satisfied with him. They believed he was a perfect match for Wen Xin.
Indeed, Wen Xin’s judgment was impeccable.
They noticed Mu Chengxi’s gaze on Wen Xin and could see his genuine affection. He was undoubtedly sincere, and much more reliable than Alfredo.
Mu Bei followed Chu Yunxuan and Wales to a small villa in the estate. Chu Yunxuan poured a cup of coffee for Mu Bei and placed it in front of him. She pulled a chair over and sat down, raising an eyebrow at him.
“Brother, are you really from M Organization? How could you get caught so easily?”
Chu Yunxuan looked at Mu Bei with a half-smile. They had found no signs of a struggle around the island lab. She concluded that Mu Bei and his group had been taken down in one blow, with no chance to resist.
Hearing Chu Yunxuan’s teasing, Mu Bei shrugged helplessly. “You might not believe it, but we don’t know when we were captured. After entering the lab, we mysteriously passed out and woke up in a small dark room.”
Mu Bei sighed helplessly. “We have no idea who took us or what happened.”
At that moment, the butler and a servant brought in some food. “This is a brain-boosting meal specially arranged by the little princess for Mr. Mu Bei.”
Hearing about the brain-boosting meal, Chu Yunxuan and Wales couldn’t help but laugh. Chu Yunxuan pointed at Mu Bei.
“Give it to him. He’s Mr. Mu Bei!”
Feeling a bit wronged, Mu Bei accepted the food from the butler and said a soft thank you, looking confused. “Could you tell me who the little princess is?”
“The little princess is the little princess. Enjoy your meal, Mr. Mu Bei. If you need anything, just ask the servants. They will arrange it.”
“Thank you.” Mu Bei nodded, still confused by the butler’s ambiguous response.
After the butler left, Mu Bei turned to Chu Yunxuan. “Miss Chu, who is this little princess? I don’t know any little princess!”
Before entering the castle, they felt its royal atmosphere was overwhelming. Now, hearing about a little princess, Mu Bei was even more puzzled. He didn’t know any princess.
“The little princess is your mistress, Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend, Wen Xin, the little princess!”
“What?” Mu Bei was so shocked that he dropped his fork on the plate, looking at Chu Yunxuan in disbelief.
“Miss Chu, you must be joking. Miss Wen is amazing, but this is the Independent State! How could Miss Wen be related to this place, let alone such a castle… a princess…”
Mu Bei couldn’t believe it. Although he wouldn’t say Wen Xin came from a small village, her previous place was a poor small town. How could she…
“Whether you believe it or not, she is the little princess. Not of this castle, but of the Independent State. Otherwise, how do you think we got here? How did she rescue your Master Xi, and how did she save you?”
