Chapter 931: Chapter 929: If You Want to Leave Alive, Don’t Force Me to Take Action
Mu Chengxi watched Qian Meng and Liang Luoyu with an indifferent gaze, the corners of his mouth curving slightly, finding the grudge between the two somewhat boring.
“The grudge between the two of them dates back to their university days. They both attended Jingda University, but because of me, Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe became sworn enemies with Qian Meng. There was no avoiding trouble from Qian Meng at school.”
“I heard later that Liang Luoyu’s graduation project was sabotaged by Qian Meng, nearly preventing him from graduating. Since then, Liang Luoyu has regarded Qian Meng as his greatest enemy. And so, their grudge has continued to this day.”
After Mu Chengxi finished explaining, Wen Xin just looked up at him indifferently, feeling that things were not as simple as Mu Chengxi had described. However, Wen Xin did not dwell on it deeply, as these matters had little to do with her.
Wen Xin just quietly watched the two men on stage, assessing the back-and-forth between them, and she seemed to have seen through their strengths. Actually, Liang Luoyu was not weak, but he was just a bit inferior compared to Qian Meng.
After watching for a while, Wen Xin felt there was nothing interesting. She gently tugged on Mu Chengxi’s sleeve and looked up at him.
“There’s nothing of interest, let’s go…”
After speaking to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin lowered her head and looked at her phone, still without a reply from Xiao Mi. She couldn’t help but frown slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.
At that moment, Xiao Mi was standing in a field in Beijing, facing a man with a scalpel in her hand, looking completely nonchalant. However, the man opposite her had already sensed the murderous intent.
“Calm down. I didn’t bring you here to fight. I want to tell you that as long as you return to Independent State, the Old Master will give you the antidote, and he won’t use the poison in your body to control you anymore.”
“Hasn’t the toxin in your body begun to activate recently? Has the pain during the nights gotten worse? All of these problems can be resolved if you just go back!”
The man facing Xiao Mi tried to tempt her with the antidote, hoping she would return to Independent State with him.
Leaning lazily against a car, Xiao Mi’s beautiful eyes calmly stared at the man trying hard to persuade her, and she gave a faint smile.
“Don’t waste your time. I won’t go back to the Independent State with you. I’m doing well now. I’ve found my sister. I have a home now. I won’t betray my sister for an antidote, so just give up.”
After speaking, Xiao Mi twirled the scalpel in her hand. Although she had promised Wen Xin not to engage in such dangerous activities anymore, some things were beyond her control. Some people were simply troublesome, and if she didn’t deal with them early on, they would just keep causing problems.
Watching Xiao Mi’s scalpel, the man took a natural step back. He was well aware of Xiao Mi’s capabilities. His unique relationship with Xiao Mi was one of the reasons he could see her.
“Calm down. I’m here to talk, not to force you to go back. The Old Master is genuinely sincere about the fact that you’re his granddaughter. He didn’t know you were the granddaughter who was taken away. He regrets what he’s done to you, but he doesn’t regret raising you.”
“Miss, the eldest miss misunderstands the Old Master, which is why she thinks the Old Master is not good to you. But you have to understand the Old Master too. He did it all for the family…”
“Shut your mouth,” Xiao Mi said irritably, rotating the scalpel in her hand.
“Uncle Zhong, I’m tolerating you speaking so much because I think we still have a connection. But if you persist in spouting nonsense, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“You know the Old Fox’s tactics better than I do. Do you really think he wants to acknowledge me as his kin, as you’ve said? He doesn’t want to give me an antidote so that I can acknowledge my ancestry. He wants to control me, to use me to control Wen Xin.”
“But he’s miscalculated. Even if it weren’t for Wen Xin, I wouldn’t be controlled by him anymore. I have my own choices to make, and I won’t be swayed by his lies, even if it means death.”
Xiao Mi brushed a loose strand of hair from her forehead, appearing wildly carefree. This aura of not caring about anything gave off an impression that made her difficult to grasp.
“Xiao Mi, I hope you will think it over carefully. The Old Master has really prepared the antidote. If you come back, you won’t have to bear the torture at night any longer!”
Uncle Zhong persisted, not giving up on persuading Xiao Mi to return. He greatly appreciated Xiao Mi’s talents and didn’t want her to be an enemy of the Old Master.
“I think you don’t want to go back, right? If you don’t want to go back to Independent State, I can help you with that. After all, you don’t have any identity here, and even if you were killed…”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll leave now. Xiao Mi, you really must consider my advice. I only want what’s best for you!”
As Uncle Zhong raised his hands, he looked quite helpless. However, he knew that if he said a few more words, he might actually lose his life. Xiao Mi had never been one to joke.
Watching Uncle Zhong hurriedly flee, Xiao Mi smiled gently. With such a coward daring to confront her, it really seemed he wasn’t afraid of her taking action.
Xiao Mi put the scalpel back into her pocket and took out her phone. Glancing at it, she was surprised to see Wen Xin’s missed calls. Noting that more than forty minutes had passed, she hesitated no longer and immediately redialed Wen Xin’s number. The call was quickly answered by Wen Xin.
“Did you call me, sis?”
“Yes. What have you been up to that it took you so long to return my call? Are you at Jingda University or at home? I’ll come pick you up, and we can go to the research institute together.”
Wen Xin sat in the passenger seat of Mu Chengxi’s car, a tablet computer on her lap displaying a page from the dark web.
“I’m not at home, nor am I at Jingda University. I went out to meet someone. I’ll tell you about it when we meet. I’ll go to the research institute to find you.”
As Xiao Mi spoke, she got into her car, not knowing why Wen Xin wanted her at the research institute. Nevertheless, she was very cooperative and willing to go.
“Alright.”
Hearing the sound of Xiao Mi starting her car, Wen Xin didn’t want to waste any more time. She responded and then hung up the call immediately, not wanting to distract Xiao Mi while she was driving.
Seeing Wen Xin end the call, Mu Chengxi turned to look at her, his deep eyes holding a faint smile.
“Your little sister is doing quite well in S City. She’s not a simple character…”
