A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 389 - 389: Want Ores? Sure, Add Money…

Unfortunately, even with their favorable conditions, they didn’t cherish them and fell from their peak, becoming what they are today.

“There’s no need. Ever since that day, Grandma never mentioned Su Li again. Just make sure she’s well watched; don’t let her escape under our watch. If they lose her, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Wen Xin half-jokingly spoke, knowing what Continent M was like, but still worried that someone might neglect Su Li, thinking she posed no threat.

“Don’t worry about it. Chu Yunxuan has already given special instructions. Those people are all trained by her, so her word is effective. There won’t be any accidents.”

Chu Yunxuan had been furious at Su Li for forcing Wen Xin to cut her liver and certainly wouldn’t make Su Li’s life easy.

After hearing about Chu Yunxuan’s methods, Nan Xu could only sigh that Su Li was lucky to be alive. If it were anyone else, they probably would have been dead long ago.

“Alright, I need to study. I’m taking the independent admission exam for Beijing University, so I need to revise what I’ve learned. I won’t chat anymore; I’m hanging up.”

Wen Xin didn’t wait for Nan Xu to respond and hung up the phone, knowing that if the conversation continued, Nan Xu could talk till it was dark.

Mu Chengxi was sitting in the meeting room of his manor in Continent F, surrounded by heads of various departments. They were all curious about who he was chatting with on his phone.

“Master Xi, this is the fifth time the Independent State’s Elder Council has sent someone over. Are we still not going to meet them?”

A man in a black suit sitting beside Mu Chengxi looked troubled. He didn’t understand why Mu Chengxi suddenly ordered a halt to the export of ores to the Independent State half a month ago.

He really couldn’t grasp why Mu Chengxi would refuse money that was within reach.

“Meet them and renegotiate the price. From now on, raise the price of ores by two percentage points on the original basis. If they don’t agree, then refuse to cooperate.”

Mu Chengxi’s slender, pale fingers gently tapped on the table, appearing calm, but the chill in his deep eyes betrayed his seriousness.

“Master Xi, the Independent State…”

The man was troubled, looking at Mu Chengxi. They had already offended the Independent State by cutting off supplies, and raising prices now might seem like adding fuel to the fire.

“What about the Independent State? They still come begging for my ores and diamonds, right? If I feel like selling to them, I will; if not, I won’t. What’s wrong with raising prices? If they can afford it, buy it; if not, they can go back to their Independent State.”

Mu Chengxi’s tone was not heavy, but everyone could sense his displeasure. They couldn’t understand the grudge between Mu Chengxi and the

Independent State.

Ever since Mu Chengxi learned that Wen Xin had been struck by lightning

when she was three years old, he wished he could storm into the Independent State and deal with those elders himself.

At night, when he saw Wen Xin lying in his arms, he couldn’t help but think about the Independent State’s selection process. Any slight deviation, and he would never have met Wen Xin.

Thinking about this always suffocated him. If he didn’t cause some trouble for the Independent State, he couldn’t calm the anger in his heart.

Liang Luoyu and Mu Bei exchanged glances, thinking that Mu Chengxi’s behavior was entirely due to Alfredo’s attitude towards Wen Xin. They even secretly lit a stick of incense for Alfredo and prayed for him.

At this moment, Alfredo, far away in the Independent State, sneezed uncontrollably. He rubbed his somewhat sore nose, wondering why he suddenly felt like he caught a cold. Could it be the large temperature difference between day and night?

“Chairman, the gift sent to the Ling family was accepted on behalf of Miss Ling

Xu’er, but they did not agree to withhold the documents proving Miss Ling Xu’er’s mental health. They stated they could overlook the matter but ultimately wanted justice for Miss Ling Xu’er,” said the bald man standing in front of Alfredo, his tone somewhat restrained. This was the most undignified task he had taken on in many years.

“Another piece of news is that Miss Ling Xu’er and the Eldest Miss have a very good relationship. From Miss Ling Xu’er’s illness to her recovery with psychological treatment, it was all arranged by the Eldest Miss.”

After hearing the bald man’s report, Alfredo looked up at him, slightly raised his eyebrows, and questioned, “Are you sure the person you’re referring to is Yatta? She’s not someone who would willingly help others.”

“I can confirm it’s the Eldest Miss. The Eldest Miss and Miss Ling Xu’er have a special relationship. Recently, she even helped Miss Ling Xu’er arrange schooling at Ice City First High School. It’s certain that they’re referring to the Eldest Miss,” the bald man said.

As the bald man finished speaking, Alfredo’s expression darkened. He looked down at the photo of Wen Xin on his desk and laughed at himself.

So, she could be kind to anyone but was only unwilling to spare him a glance. Every time he appeared before her, it was always with a cold frown. What had he done wrong?

“Forget it. Since Ling Xu’er is someone she wants to protect, let the Ling family do whatever they want. How’s Wei Shisheng’s arm?” Alfredo asked.

“We’ve already arranged for someone from the Independent State Medical Research Institute to go there. The institute’s people said Miss Wei’s shoulder blade was severely damaged, and the likelihood of recovery is almost zero, so the people we arranged have already returned,” the bald man reported.

“Chairman, there’s another important matter. The Z country’s base bought some very advanced weapons from Institute 26, including the new weapons just announced on Institute 26’s official website. We had a special discussion with Institute 26 about this matter before, but unfortunately, we were rejected, ” the bald man said, lowering his head, not daring to look at Alfredo.

Previously, weapons from Institute 26 were always first entered into their arsenal, Dut now, ror some unmown reason, Institute 26 suaaen1Y cnangea Its mind, refusing to cooperate with them and instead turned to collaborate with Z country.

“Z country bought the weapons? Was there no movement from Continent F and Continent M?” Alfredo also couldn’t understand why things had developed this way. It seemed like ever since he met Wen Xin, everything had changed. “There’s no movement from Continent F. Continent F’s Mu Chengxi has always cooperated with the overlord of Continent F, and they’ve never purchase weapons from Institute 26, so this matter does not affect him at all,” the bald man explained.

“The strangest part is the overlord of Continent F. For some reason, he’s been going against us in the Independent State. Previously, the people we sent were all sent back by his men. This time, our people went down again, but the overlord wanted to raise the price of ores. The Elder Council is still discussing

it…. “
