Chapter 848: 846 Chapter There was such fate four years ago.
“The identity of the man with Ailin has been confird, he’s the eldest son of the Wen family from Independent State, Wen Yunuo, who is now in charge of the Kunshan Group. It seems like Kunshan Group’s financial chain has encountered problems; he has already started looking for partners,” Mu Chengxi said gently, after taking a drag of his cigarette.
Gu Yanzhe was surprised to learn the man’s identity. Raising his eyebrows at Mu Chengxi, he asked, “You didn’t show Miss Wen the photo, did you?”
Gu Yanzhe didn’t need to think twice to know it must have been Wen Xin who told him. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to track down the identity of soone from Independent State.
“Yes, I told her and also explained Ailin’s identity. Have soone, under the guise of a hegemon, contact Ailin’s father and advise him it’s best not to get involved in Beijing’s affairs, or he might not be alive to see tomorrow’s sun,” Mu Chengxi responded.
“Alright, I’ll take care of it right away,” said Gu Yanzhe with a light smile, sitting down across from Mu Chengxi, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at him.
“Since Master Xi talked to Miss Wen about Ailin’s matter, I wonder if Master Xi ntioned that Ailin drugged you to Miss Wen?”
“But going back to that, how did you survive it? Knowing that… that drug… it’s quite poisonous.”
At this point, Gu Yanzhe’s eyes lit up with a very curious glow, eager to know how Mu Chengxi had made it through.
When they found Mu Chengxi in the wilds back then, he had already passed out, and it took over three hours to revive him.
When the doctor announced the na of the drug, everyone’s eyes were in shock. No one believed a man could survive such a drug without the help of a woman—it was simply miraculous.
Mu Chengxi looked up and coldly humphed at Gu Yanzhe’s curious expression, then cracked a slight smile.
“There’s not much to say. I thought I was going to die too, but from nowhere a young girl appeared, gave a few pills, then left…”
At that, Mu Chengxi suddenly paused, extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up and, without turning back, left Gu Yanzhe’s office with his coat hung on his chair.
Seeing this, Gu Yanzhe was slightly taken aback and his eyebrows creased unconsciously, puzzled by Mu Chengxi’s sudden action.
However, it was too late to ask for a reason—the office’s door was already devoid of Mu Chengxi’s presence.
After dealing with the codes, Wen Xin lay on the sofa, idly reading a book on psychology. Now, she just wanted so peace to think about how she could outwit the Old Fox.
The Old Fox’s tactics were too underhanded, and she had too many people to protect; she didn’t want innocent people to be hurt while confronting the Old Fox.
As Wen Xin considered how to handle the Old Fox, the sound of unlocking echoed from outside. She hadn’t even managed to sit up from the sofa when a dark figure rushed in.
Reacting instinctively for self-protection, Wen Xin swiftly sat up from the sofa in a defensive posture. However, once she saw clearly the person crouching before her, her whole deanor relaxed.
“You… What happened to you? Was there an earthquake outside?”
“No earthquake, I wanted to ask you, did you go to F State four years ago? Did you save a man lying on the roadside in the grass?”
When Mu Chengxi asked Wen Xin this question, his expression was very serious, his eyes bore an intense emotion, rendering Wen Xin sowhat puzzled.
“`
However, when Wen Xin was puzzled, she still took the matter seriously and thought it through.
“Four years ago… in Independent State? In autumn? In the grass beside the road… Are you talking about a man in tattered clothes, covered in blood?”
The more detailed Wen Xin spoke, the more excited Mu Chengxi’s expression beca. She suddenly realized that sothing was wrong and reached out to cup his cheeks.
“Don’t tell , the man who was dying from the Charming Drug back then was you?” Wen Xin could hardly believe it; fate was such a miraculous thing.
That year she had gone to Independent State to look for the whereabouts of the Shadow Alliance. She was wandering aimlessly alone at night and saw a man running out of a place resembling a castle.
Driven by curiosity, she followed him and dealt with the people who were chasing him.
Actually, she didn’t want to ddle in this business, but for fun, she chased after him, wanting to find out who the people in the castle were.
But when she caught up to the man, his eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and he seed to be on the brink of death.
Recalling that she had once been rescued in the sa way, a sense of compassion welled up in Wen Xin’s usually indifferent heart, and she crouched down to examine the man.
Due to the dim environnt, Wen Xin couldn’t see the man’s face clearly at all. After diagnosing him, she fed him a few pills and then turned and left.
As Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s expression, he knew she must be recalling the past. Watching the shock flash across her pupils, he smiled gently.
Then, Mu Chengxi extended his long arm, embraced Wen Xin in his arms, and tightened his hold slightly, as if he wanted to rge her into his body.
Holding Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi leaned on her shoulder and sighed softly.
“Back then, I thought I was about to die. Escaping from Ailin’s family was already the limit of my abilities. The only thought I had was to run desperately. Even if I were to die, I couldn’t let those people capture again.”
“Later, I don’t know why, but those people stopped chasing , and I just lay in the grass. At that ti, I thought that I might just end there that day.”
“Not long after, I felt a cold touch that eased the intense heat all over my body. By then, my mind was already unclear.”
“Later, I learned that soone had fed pills, and that’s how I had the chance to survive.”
After Mu Chengxi finished speaking, he gently pulled Wen Xin from his embrace and looked at her tenderly, “I never imagined that the person who saved back then would be you…”
As he spoke, Mu Chengxi lowered his head and kissed Wen Xin. Wen Xin could feel his lips trembling.
Seemingly infected by Mu Chengxi’s excitent, Wen Xin grasped the side of Mu Chengxi’s clothing, responding eagerly to his kiss.
Lying on the couch, Wen Xin nestled in Mu Chengxi’s arms, playing with his fingers with one hand.
“Was it that woman who drugged you back then? Why is she still alive?”
