A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Jiang Linyan’s unconsciousness and urgent return to the Jiang family caused a great uproar. Moreover, the arrogant warnings given by those two men in black to Old Master Jiang almost sent him to heaven.

After taking the Heart-saving Pill, while lying in bed, he began to ponder who exactly the Jiang family had offended that someone in Beijing would dare to take action against them.

He also believed that the two sentences spoken by the men in black were not uttered in vain. To outsiders, those warnings might seem absurd, but he was clear that the person was not joking.

“Old Master, how do you feel? Do you need a doctor to come and examine you, or should we… take you to the hospital for a check-up?”

“No need for that, how is Linyan doing? Have they found out where she went today, who she met, and who it was that laid a hand on her?”

Old Master Jiang lay in bed without getting up. Although he was angry, he still had his wits about him. He ordered a discreet investigation and did not act rashly. Until he was certain whether the person could be touched, he would not hastily make a move.

“Miss is doing alright, just lost four teeth and is at risk of a concussion. According to the doctor’s evaluation, she must have been slapped,” reported a subordinate.

“As for who exactly took action, we have not found out yet. However, the young lady did meet with Mu Bei, who is close to Mu Chengxi, early this morning. She then went to the hospital, but it’s unclear whom she met there.”

“Moreover, it’s strange that we can’t trace where those two men carried the young lady from, nor is there any information on their identities.”

In all the years the butler had served by Old Master Jiang’s side, this was the first time he encountered such a difficult situation. The capabilities of these people made even him wary.

To have something in Beijing that the Jiang family couldn’t find was truly unbelievable.

Hearing the butler’s report, Old Master Jiang suddenly sat up from the bed. Because he exerted himself too much, his head felt dizzy for a moment, and he propped his head with one hand while covering his chest with the other.

“Who is it? Who is so audacious? This is an open declaration of war against our Jiang family. Investigate it for me; I must have this investigated thoroughly. I really want to see who in Beijing dares to go against my Jiang family!”

All of Old Master Jiang’s rationality collapsed in that instant. In all these years, he had never come across someone so audacious. He was truly curious to see who had the gall to turn the world upside down — could they really overthrow him?

The butler, seeing Old Master Jiang breathing rapidly, hurriedly took out a Life-saving Pill that Zhuge Jingming had sold to him and placed it in Old Master Jiang’s mouth.

“Old Master, please don’t get agitated. You mustn’t get agitated. Only if you are in good health can the Jiang family have hope!”

The butler gently patted Old Master Jiang’s back, helping him to breathe more easily and calm down.

“Old Master, this matter doesn’t seem to be in the style of the young master of the Mu family. Although the young master of the Mu family can be reckless, he doesn’t seem like this!”

The butler, looking at Old Master Jiang’s angry demeanor, could not help but speak up as he felt that the situation was too strange.

“Indeed, it doesn’t seem like that kid’s style. If he were behind this, his methods would not be so unrestrained.”

“Even if Linyan went to trouble him, he would not lay a hand on her.”

“And also, he has absolutely no reason to target the Jiang family. The Jiang family has long ceased to be any threat to the Mu family, and I can’t think of anyone who would want to push the Jiang family to death.”

For a moment, Old Master Jiang seemed to age considerably. He had thought he could enjoy his twilight years, but now, unexpectedly, he was entangled in so many troubles… It was truly exhausting for someone his age.

The butler helped Old Master Jiang out of bed, let him sit down on the sofa beside, and poured him a cup of hot tea, placing it in his hands.

“Old Master Jiang, this matter has also implicated the Mu family’s second master. I’m afraid this person is not solely targeting our Jiang family. Why don’t we talk to Old Madam Mu? Since it wasn’t done by Mu Chengxi, the Mu family has no reason to refuse us, right?”

Old Master Jiang took a sip of the tea handed to him by the butler and pondered for a moment.

“Mu Chengxi and the second son of the Mu family have never been on good terms. Even if we go to Old Madam Mu, Mu Chengxi probably won’t lend a hand. Let’s wait until Linyan wakes up and see if there are any clues from her.”

Old Master Jiang had been worn out these past few days by the troubles with Old Jiang, and with the aggravation from this morning, his spirit wasn’t as good as before.

Standing to the side, the butler watched Old Master Jiang with concern and tactfully kept silent, not wishing to say too much and affect his mood.

“Go and call Ou Jinzhi over. Leave Linyan’s matters to him. It looks like the Jiang family can only rely on him from now on.”

Unless absolutely necessary, Old Master Jiang wouldn’t have handed over Tianlang Base to Ou Jinzhi, and if he did give it to him, he still hoped to have the opportunity to take it back someday.

Now, it seemed that letting Ou Jinzhi take control of Tianlang Base was the right choice. He hoped that those people would respect the Ou Clan’s backing of Ou Jinzhi and not be too excessive.

After completing the examination at the hospital, Wen Xin personally removed the cast from Mu Chengxi’s leg.

“The ancient jade is truly miraculous – the bones in your body have completely healed. Try getting down and see if you can walk normally.”

Wen Xin wasn’t surprised at all by Mu Chengxi’s recovery; the energy of the ancient jade was magical. It had healed Tan Xingyue’s entire nervous system and her liver, and now it had completely healed Mu Chengxi’s skeleton.

She was still grateful that she had brought the ancient jade with her to Independent State; otherwise, Mu Chengxi’s life might have been hard to save.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand as he got off the hospital bed. At first, he didn’t dare to exert too much force, and his movements were somewhat comical.

Once he grew accustomed to the feeling of his feet touching the ground, he boldly took a few steps and quickly got used to the sensation of walking with both legs.

Ten minutes later, Mu Chengxi was moving freely. He walked up to Wen Xin and embraced her tightly, not giving her any time to react, and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

After the kiss ended, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin close, pulling her in tight against his chest.

“Thank you. You’ve saved my life twice in just a few days.”

Wen Xin lifted her head from his chest, her eyebrows playfully arched, “I can’t help it; I don’t plan on changing boyfriends, so I had to try my best to save you, just making do, you know.”

After saying that, Wen Xin went on her tiptoes and gently bit Mu Chengxi’s chin, “There won’t be a next time. If there is a next time, I don’t know if I’ll be as lucky as this time…”
