Chapter 609: Always Beyond His Expectations
“No, I didn’t notice anything unusual. I don’t even know when I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in a box and later taken to a dark basement.”
“They knew my identity in Continent F and wanted all the property rights. I knew that even if I gave them what they wanted, they wouldn’t let me go. They might even kill me.”
“So I decided to endure it, hoping for a chance to escape when they let their guard down.”
“When that doctor appeared, I felt my perseverance was worth it, but my injuries were severe.”
Wen Xin got up from Mu Chengxi, holding his face in her hands and raising an eyebrow at him.
“The poisons in the Independent State are all molecular biological agents, so it’s normal for you to be caught off guard.”
“You were probably targeted long before this, but you always had people around you, making it hard for them to act. When you were alone, it gave them the opportunity.”
“After provoking you twice, so the Independent State was bombed twice. They probably won’t dare a third time.”
Wen Xin gently touched Mu Chengxi’s hair and sighed softly. “I’m sorry, I can only deal with those within my reach. I’ve handled the Jason family. Although the Second Young Master escaped, he won’t get far.”
“I’ll keep track of the remaining people. You won’t suffer in vain. Just wait, and I’ll settle all the scores, new and old.”
The person Wen Xin referred to was the old fox from the Wen family. She couldn’t move against him or the Wen family yet, but once everything was in place, she wouldn’t spare any of them.
“It’s my fault for being careless and worrying you. Look at you, you’re already thin, and now you’ve become skin and bones. I’ll make sure you get a proper recovery,” Mu Chengxi said, remorseful.
Meanwhile, the Wen family wasn’t faring well either. The Second Young Master of the Jason family was panicking after learning about the Jason family bombings and Mu Chengxi’s escape. He realized he had provoked the wrong people.
“Elder Wen, you can’t just abandon me! We planned this together, and now you say it has nothing to do with you? You can’t burn bridges like this!”
“If you do, I’ll tell the Eldest Miss everything was your idea and that I was just cooperating!”
Seeing that the old fox was unwilling to help, the Second Young Master felt desperate. He knew the Eldest Miss had a poor relationship with the old fox. If Wen Xin found out her grandfather was behind it all, there would be hell to pay.
“Your desperation is pathetic. Are you threatening to bite me if I don’t protect you? Don’t forget, I’m her grandfather. No matter what, she will protect the Wen family.”
“Why do you think the bombs only targeted your Jason family while my Wen family remained unscathed?”
The old fox sneered at the Second Young Master’s fury. “If you behave, I can arrange for your safe exit from the Independent State, at least avoiding the Taros family’s pursuit.”
“If you refuse, I’ll hand you over to that brat myself. I’m not worried about her retaliating against me.”
As the old fox finished speaking, a few men in black appeared behind the Second Young Master. Seeing them, his bravado evaporated, and he hung his head in defeat.
“Send me to the Shadow Alliance. Only there can I escape from Moore and Mu Chengxi. If Mu Chengxi recovers, no matter where I am, it will be a dead end.”
The Shadow Alliance was his last resort, knowing it meant permanent exile from the Independent State. This decision would mark the Jason family’s end in the Independent State.
The old fox nodded approvingly, unsurprised by the Second Young Master’s compliance. Living offered better chances than dying.
“Take him to the headquarters. Inform them to treat him well,” the old fox ordered, watching the Second Young Master with a skeptical glance. There was something off about his promise, but the Second Young Master couldn’t pinpoint it.
After sending him off, the butler approached and respectfully saluted the old fox. “Master, it’s confirmed that the one who took that man was the Eldest Miss. She entered the Independent State through the Tang family, but they had no involvement. It was all Moore’s arrangement. Moore’s men are also hunting the Second Young Master.”
“The news about the ancient jade is true. The Taros family has started to recover, and the jade was indeed their lost piece.”
“The wretched girl is really lucky. Not only did she survive, but she also became this formidable. How is Alfredo? I heard she shot him.”
The butler replied, “The chairman is injured but started handling the Independent State’s affairs an hour ago. He seems like a changed person, and the council members have all hit a wall with him.”
“A bunch of useless things. If they don’t grasp the power in their hands properly now, what will they have to do with the Independent State when the Taros family rises again? What a bunch of idiots! They can’t be helped.”
The old fox slammed his water cup on the ground, frustrated. He had schemed for years, only to face constant setbacks.
Sending his rebellious son to the Heavenly Selection had backfired, allowing the unfilial son to control the Independent State.
Then came the wretched girl, even harder to handle. This latest turn of events was beyond his expectations. He never expected the man to be the wretched girl’s ally. It was truly a case of narrow escape from an enemy.
