A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 481: Miss Wen Goes Missing, Master Xi Gets Angry

After meeting with several key figures at Tian Shu Manor and hearing their reports, Wen Xin confidently delegated all responsibilities to Hall Master Meng and the manor’s steward.

“Anything that comes up, you can handle with headquarters. As for the minor issues here, you don’t need to involve me. But I’m aware of what you’re all doing, like Hall Master Meng’s wife giving birth to twins two months ago. I’ve even prepared gifts for the kids. Miss Chu, could you fetch the gifts I brought from upstairs? And there’s also a wedding gift for Hall Master Sun.”

“You’re the first ones who helped me and whom I’ve relied on, so I trust you with the affairs of the manor.”

Continent M manages Tian Shu Manor, but it operates independently, and Wen Xin doesn’t intervene much because she trusts these people.

“You gave us a new life, Miss Wen; our lives belong to you, and we will never betray you.”

They would never forget what their lives were like before they met Wen Xin. Without her, there wouldn’t be a ‘today’ for them. They knew how to be grateful and understood what the future holds.

“That’s enough, no need to pledge your loyalty here. I prefer keeping my identity hidden. Those who don’t know don’t need an explanation. Let’s disperse.”

Wen Xin lounged on the sofa, checking the message from Mu Chengxi. She calculated that the two dimwits at the hotel should have woken up by now—it was time to settle accounts.

Hall Master Meng nodded to Wen Xin and led everyone out of the living room, drawing much attention as they left. Everyone was still very curious about Wen Xin’s identity, especially after witnessing Chu Yunxuan’s profound authority.

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin, who had shifted her position on the sofa, and expressed her concern, “You’re going to treat Aiden tomorrow, and you’re not planning to bring anyone or arrange for some protection? Isn’t it too dangerous to go like that?”

“Isn’t it enough to have you and Yan Yu with me? If the three of us can’t make it out of that manor, we might as well return to the black market. I trust your fighting skills.”

Wen Xin didn’t plan to bring many people and risk alarming their enemies. She had her own secret weapons; problems that could be solved with a bomb didn’t require exposing Tian Shu Manor to potential trouble.

As Wen Xin finished speaking, her phone began to vibrate. She looked at Chu Yunxuan and Yan Yu, signaling them to step aside, and then answered Mu Chengxi’s call.

This was the first time in three days that Mu Chengxi had video-called her.

“Are you done with your tasks?” Wen Xin answered the video call from Mu Chengxi, lounging lazily on the sofa, greeting him in a relaxed manner.

Mu Chengxi, observing the European-style decor behind Wen Xin, paused slightly; he remembered that the decor of the N Port base manor was not of this style.

When he saw the large clock behind Wen Xin, he became even more certain that Wen Xin was not in his manor.

“Where are you? Mu Bei and Fernando just messaged me, and Fernando even told Mu Bei that you were currently taking a walk in the manor…”

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin couldn’t help but chuckle. She switched her phone to the rear camera to show him her surroundings.

“This is Chu Yunxuan’s friend’s manor. The first day we arrived in N Port, your men took us to the hotel. The presidential suite was nice, but we didn’t like it, so we left.”

Wen Xin’s calm gaze and slight smile conveyed her ease, despite Mu Chengxi’s evident frustration.

“I didn’t expect to be taken to a hotel upon arriving in N Port, and the service was poor. I left the hotel three days ago; they probably just noticed today. And you were still in the dark, Mu Chengxi. Your men are not very reliable.”

Wen Xin had issues with Fernando, but he wasn’t her subordinate. She could turn a blind eye to it, but it was different for Mu Chengxi.

Fernando, a leader at the base, could potentially betray Mu Chengxi in other matters as well, representing a dangerous element to him.

Wen Xin needed to stir up some trouble to make Mu Chengxi take this matter seriously; she didn’t want anyone who might stab him in the back.

Feeling guilty, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin. He thought he had arranged everything perfectly for her but was disappointed to hear she felt neglected. It was his oversight.

“I’m sorry. I promised to take care of you, and I failed.”

“It’s not your fault. How are things on your end? I’m doing well here, resting well and eating well. The manor’s owner is a woman too, so she poses no threat to you.”

Wen Xin skillfully changed the subject, knowing when to press issues and when to let them go for better results.

“It’s still quite complicated over here; it might take about a week to sort everything out. Take care of yourself, and if you like your friend’s manor, feel free to stay a bit longer. Once everything is settled, I’ll have someone bring you back.”

Mu Chengxi was still worried about Wen Xin staying at someone else’s place. If it weren’t for his commitments, he would have flown to N Port to handle the situation personally.

“Alright, no rush, just handle things slowly.”

Noticing the fatigue in Mu Chengxi’s brow, Wen Xin knew the issues in Continent F must be troubling. She didn’t pry further, instead softly soothing him.

“I’m fine here, and if things go well, I should be able to return home soon. But you, don’t overwork yourself. Rest when you’re tired; work isn’t finished in a day. It’s getting late; you should rest.”

With her gentle tone and voice, Wen Xin effectively soothed Mu Chengxi’s restless emotions, much to his relief.

After ensuring Wen Xin was well and in good spirits, Mu Chengxi felt reassured. They chatted casually for a few more moments before ending the call, with him promising to rest as she suggested.

After hanging up, Mu Chengxi threw his phone onto the desk in frustration. Mu Bei walked in just then and jumped back in fright.
