Chapter 828: Chapter 827: Betting on Family Ties, Take a Gamble
 

Wen Xin knew very well the reason Xiao Mi had come, if Xiao Mi was the assassin Sun Ning mentioned, then today’s visit was not simply to see how she was doing.

Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi pulled Wen Xin out of his embrace, looking at her with disbelief, his eyebrows knitted together tightly, “You mean she came today to kill you?”

Wen Xin lifted her gaze to meet Mu Chengxi’s, hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded, “Just now, I saw a scalpel in her pocket, if there is no misunderstanding, she must have come to kill me.”

Wen Xin slowly closed her eyes, had she not received the paternity test results before this, her reaction to the event might not have been so intense.

Yet, just two hours ago, she had just received the identification report from the testing center, confirming that Xiao Mi was indeed the sister who had gone missing years ago.

Mu Chengxi gently embraced Wen Xin, patting her back lightly with one hand.

“What are you planning to do? If you still don’t know what to do with the key, I can send her back to the base, which should be relatively safe for her.”

Mu Chengxi knew the reason for Wen Xin’s dilemma, she understood that Wen Xin’s feelings for Xiao Mi were mostly out of guilt, guilt for not having found Xiao Mi sooner.

“Xiao Mi’s disappearance is not your fault, by all rights, no one should be in more pain than you. Don’t blame yourself for everything, if you can’t change the current situation, then do your best to bring her back.”

Mu Chengxi’s voice was soft as he comforted Wen Xin, he wasn’t Wen Xin and didn’t know how to handle this situation…

Wen Xin, lying in Mu Chengxi’s arms, calmed down for a long time, one hand around his neck, tilting her head back to look at him.

“I want to take a gamble that there is familial love between us, as long as she doesn’t harm me, I am willing to not reveal her identity, or even help her get a new one, so she can start a new life.”

“But if she does try to harm me, I won’t be lenient. Until I deal with the Old Fox, at the very least, I will restrict her freedom. Even if she hates me, I won’t compromise. I won’t let her continue down the wrong path anymore!”

Understanding the huge impact assassins have internationally, Wen Xin, though filled with guilt, knew that didn’t mean she could condone Xiao Mi’s actions. She wanted to stand proudly in the sun with them, not become someone who can only struggle to survive in the shadows.

“It seems I really need to settle accounts with the Old Fox,” Wen Xin sighed softly while leaning in Mu Chengxi’s embrace, her anxiety somewhat relieved but still feeling choked up with worry for Xiao Mi.

Mu Chengxi, seeing Wen Xin’s frustrated expression, lowered his head and tenderly kissed her, his large hand holding Wen Xin’s slightly cold ones, and they lay down together on the bed.

Wen Xin had been in the hospital for about a week when she was picked up by Wei Manqing and Mu Chengxu and brought back to their residence, while Mu Chengxi went to the Mu Group to deal with some transitional issues.

With the change in power at Mu Group, everything from Mu Chengxi’s office had been cleared out and placed in a small storage room.

When Mu Bei and Mo Xuan went to move things, seeing such a scene, they nearly lost their temper and directly clashed with Mu Jingang’s assistant.

“You still want to fight me? Your Master Xi will soon be kicked out of the Mu family, and then you’ll be like stray dogs desperately following him through the streets!”

“Mu Bei, do you still think you’re the prince of the capital? Without the Mu family, what would he amount to but a spoiled, ignorant playboy? You might not even be able to make it in Beijing by then!”

Two people stood by the door, watching Mu Bei and Mo Xuan, taking the opportunity to mock Mu Chengxi.

“I can’t mix in Beijing anymore? Let’s have a try then, see who really can’t survive here.”

Mu Chengxi’s cool voice slowly rose from behind them, causing those who were mocking him to suddenly freeze in place, their bodies going numb with fear, not daring to look at the person behind them.

These people dared to gossip behind his back, but they didn’t have the courage to do so in his presence.

They were very clear in their minds that although Mu Chengxi had been ousted from Mu Group at this time, it was still an easy matter for him to have them killed.

Watching the two men stand rigidly in place, Mu Chengxi coldly smiled, “Mu Bei, see our two brothers off.”

Mu Chengxi didn’t want to bother with them, but he has always been unable to accept being trampled on by others.

Upon receiving Mu Chengxi’s calm command, Mu Bei walked happily over to the two men and, without any hesitation, waved his hand. He raised his hand and struck down on the napes of their necks, causing them both to faint instantly.

After Mu Bei took action, several men in black appeared from nowhere, unceremoniously lifting the two men and carrying them away under the watchful eyes of everyone.

In the company, seeing this scene unfold, everyone subconsciously retreated to their places, pretending like they had seen nothing.

Mu Chengxi stood in place and glanced at those who knew how to act, slightly smiled with satisfaction, and, holding the elevator card he had been grasping, went straight to the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the 54th floor; Mu Chengxi swiped the card and stepped out, just in time to see Mu Jingang coming out of the president’s office.

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” Mu Jingang said, looking at Mu Chengxi with some surprise. He hadn’t received a call from the front desk and thought Mu Chengxi wouldn’t show up.

“Of course, I would come. If I didn’t, how could I know about the outrageous things you’ve done?”

Mu Chengxi looked at Mu Jingang with a cold smile and took out a seal belonging exclusively to the Mu Group, holding it out in front of Mu Jingang.

“This is what you’ve wanted all along, right? I can give it to you, but let’s sign a contract. After the contract is signed, Mu Group is yours.”

Mu Chengxi spoke smoothly, a faint smile in his eyes. Mu Jingang couldn’t fathom what Mu Chengxi was planning.

At this moment, Mu Jingang was so dazzled by the seal in Mu Chengxi’s hands, he’d agree to anything as long as he could get Mu Group.

“Okay, as long as Mu Group is mine, give me the seal, and I will agree to whatever you say!”

“Alright, I’ll have my lawyer come up, and once the contract is signed, Mu Group will be yours,” Mu Chengxi said, smiling lightly. He pulled out his phone, placed a call, and headed straight for the conference room.
