Chu Yunxuan felt frustrated. If it hadn’t been for Wen Xin’s appearance, Geng Zewei wouldn’t have spoken at all. Despite their grievances, Chu Yunxuan admired the loyalty of those people.

“He doesn’t want to talk? Then we haven’t been harsh enough,” Wen Xin said, looking up at Mu Chengxi with a cold smile on her face.

“I know your base has a special prison used for interrogating spies. Could you help me out and see if they truly don’t know anything or if they’re just refusing to talk?”

“Alright, I’ll have Mu Bei come over to take them.”

Mu Chengxi was somewhat surprised that Wen Xin would let him handle this matter. When she asked, he felt a surge of excitement, glad that she no longer kept him out of the loop.

“Let’s talk outside,” Wen Xin said, disliking the heavy scent of blood in the basement. It had been a while since she had lived this kind of life, and she found herself repulsed by the smell.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and led her out of the dark basement. He glanced at the men standing in the living room and asked softly, “Are these your people?”

“Yes.”

Wen Xin was busy sending a message on her phone and didn’t hide anything from Mu Chengxi, merely replying nonchalantly. There was no need to keep it a secret anymore; it didn’t matter if he knew.

“And…”

Just as Mu Chengxi was about to ask more, Wen Xin’s phone rang.

Wen Xin raised her hand, signaling Mu Chengxi to wait. She walked upstairs and entered a bedroom, sitting on the sofa before answering the video call.

“You only contact me when you need something. The Independent State’s network security is compromised. Hackers worldwide find joy in attacking it, especially the families of the Elders Council. They’ve suffered heavy losses recently. How did you know about this? Was it you?”

Alfredo’s gentle voice, tinged with a lighthearted laugh, came through the phone, indicating he was in a good mood.

“No, the Elders Council had the Shadow Alliance capture my friend. Alfredo, I’ve told you before: don’t provoke me. If they do, it won’t just be two bombs next time!”

Wen Xin’s eyes were cold as she looked at the warm-faced man on the screen. Every time she saw his smile, she wanted to tear through his facade.

They had seen each other’s worst sides. She felt there was no need for him to maintain any pretense in front of her.

Alfredo’s face darkened upon hearing about the bombs. His previously gentle smile vanished instantly.

“Yatta, you’re being reckless. Bombs are not toys. I can overlook the last two, but…”

“What are you going to do about it? Can you find my launch site? Can you calculate my launch range? Can your security system intercept them? If you can’t, stop spouting nonsense!”

Wen Xin disdainfully tossed her phone onto the coffee table, unwilling to look at Alfredo’s face. Although he was handsome, she found him unbearably irritating.

Faced with Wen Xin’s questioning, Alfredo could only sigh helplessly. She was right—he could do nothing. He had tried to investigate, but it was futile.

“I can tolerate your antics, but there must be limits. Many innocent people are involved. Don’t forget, you are the master of the Independent State!”

Alfredo constantly hoped to bring Wen Xin back to the Independent State, always reminding her of her identity. He allowed her to act out because he didn’t want to push her away, knowing that the more he pressured her, the more she would resist.

However, she seemed to be constantly avoiding her identity, which left him feeling helpless.

“It’s precisely because of those innocent people that I didn’t destroy the Independent State outright. To me, the Independent State is a nightmare!”

“Alfredo, I don’t want to discuss the Independent State. The Elders Council had the Shadow Alliance capture my friend. I want you to safely bring my friend back. In return, I’ll get the Doll to create an independent security system for you.”

Wen Xin offered Alfredo a tempting deal. The Doll was a legend worldwide, even in the Independent State.

“A security system created by Doll? Are you sure?”

Alfredo was surprised that Wen Xin could enlist Doll. His heart ached with jealousy. Wen Xin had bombed the Independent State for Mu Chengxi, and now she was calling on Doll for a friend. Why were her friends so important to her?

Yet he meant nothing to her, not even deserving a kind gesture.

“I’m sure. In three days, Doll’s latest security system will be delivered to you. But you must ensure Yuan Junye’s safety during these three days. After three days, we exchange the system for the person. Deal?”

Wen Xin picked up her phone and looked at Alfredo on the screen. Her eyes were cold and determined, clearly showing she meant what she said.

“Alright, I can guarantee your friend’s safety. However, I have one condition: stop throwing bombs at the Independent State, okay?”

In the end, Alfredo compromised under Wen Xin’s cold gaze. He was willing to do anything to ensure her friend’s safety, even if it he was jealous.

“No, but as I said, don’t provoke me, and I won’t cause trouble for you. In three days, I expect Yuan Junye to be safely on a plane back home.”

Wen Xin refused to back down. She would neither stop using bombs nor return to the Independent State.

Throwing bombs was her hobby, just like with Ou Jinzhi. Although it made money, bombing him was something she wouldn’t hesitate to do.

Faced with Wen Xin’s firm stance, Alfredo eventually relented. He nodded, “Fine, I can never be tough with you. I’ll do as you ask and try to keep them from bothering you…”

Before he could finish, Wen Xin hung up. She rubbed her aching temples, finding Alfredo’s nagging extremely annoying.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door. Mu Chengxi entered with a cup of honey water.

He placed the cup in front of Wen Xin and asked gently, “How did it go? Do you need me to do anything?”

“No need, it’s settled. Yuan Junye will return in three days. However, I might be a bit busy these three days, so…”

“It’s alright. You do what you need to. I’ll stay with you.” Mu Chengxi sat beside Wen Xin, gently holding her in his arms without asking further questions.
