A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 999 - 995: Sitting at Home, the Vest Comes Off Unexpectedly

Chapter 999: Chapter 995: Sitting at Home, the Vest Comes Off Unexpectedly

Wen Huai learned about Mr. Jiang taking him to Wen Moran’s funeral only at breakfast.

Wen Xin picked up her phone and dialed Mr. Jiang’s number, which was answered after only a few rings, before anyone spoke, a light chuckle came through.

“Your call comes a bit later than I had anticipated,”

Mr. Jiang’s voice sounded cheerful, giving off a pleasant mood.

Hearing Mr. Jiang’s happy tone, Wen Xin smiled faintly. She suddenly understood his intention; Mr. Jiang was establishing his authority in his own way.

“Foster father, there’s really no need to deal with those people. After all, not everyone deserves to be treated as human, especially those from the Wen family.”

In Wen Xin’s opinion, except for people like Wen Yunuo, no one from the Wen family deserved to be treated as human. She simply did not want to have any interaction with them.

“Though that’s true, you are still part of the Wen family. No matter what, for your sake, everyone should show them a little respect, so such an incident is quite normal,”

Mr. Jiang knew Wen Xin had understood his purpose, so he did not continue to discuss the matter. He was more concerned about other things.

“That issue with the Shadow Alliance, was that you?”

These past few days, Mr. Jiang had been inactive, actually quite curious to know whether those rumors about the Shadow Alliance were true. Although their discussions were very clandestine, they still provoked deep thought; everyone wanted to know who was behind such a significant move.

Caught off guard by Mr. Jiang’s question, Wen Xin was a bit perplexed. She shifted in her chair and switched the phone to her other hand, holding it up to her ear, her voice revealing a touch of confusion.

“Why do you think I’m behind it, foster father? I thought it was you who took action…”

Wen Xin’s tone lacked any hint of probing. She knew there was no need for it, as her foster father had always been open with her about his actions, so she had no doubt he was hiding something from her.

Thus, in their dialogue, both fell into contemplation, neither able to figure out who was behind the event.

“If it wasn’t you, and it wasn’t me, have you considered who else it might be? Should I look into this matter?”

Mr. Jiang suddenly became vigilant. He felt that this matter was of great importance. He had assumed it was Wen Xin’s doing and hence did not take it seriously.

But now, reconsidering that Wen Xin was not the one who acted, the timing of the person who did became suspicious, and naturally worrisome.

Hearing Mr. Jiang’s anxious and alert tone, Wen Xin grew tense as well, her brow furrowing slightly, “Then I’ll trouble you to investigate it for me, foster father. I was planning to visit the Kunshan Laboratory soon—do you know anything about the laboratory?”

Wen Xin spoke very candidly to Mr. Jiang. Even without today’s incident, she would have sought him out, but she had not expected Mr. Jiang to take the initiative.

“Kunshan Laboratory?” Hearing that Wen Xin intended to visit the Kunshan Laboratory, Mr. Jiang was somewhat surprised. He had considered the possibility that Wen Xin might take action against the Kunshan Laboratory, but he never expected Wen Xin to proactively suggest visiting it.

“I think you’d better not go there for now. Wait until you’ve handled the political affairs of the Independent State, then you can deal with the matters of the Kunshan Laboratory,” he advised.

“The Old Fox from your family is now hiding in the hospital, probably waiting for a trump card. I think you should resolve the immediate matters first before delving into the laboratory issues,” he added.

Mr. Jiang knew the Old Fox’s character too well. Without even thinking about it, he knew that the pretense of illness was meant to lower everyone’s guard, to deliver a fatal blow in the end.

“Hmm, I’ll deal with this matter as soon as possible, but I also need to make a trip to the laboratory in Kunshan quickly. The Old Fox is just waiting for the people he controls with his drugs to fall ill, and then to gain their support. I have to destroy the laboratory before that happens and completely cut off the Old Fox’s retreat,” Wen Xin said with resolve.

Before coming to the Independent State, Wen Xin had already prepared a strategy; however, recent events had unfolded rapidly, with some developments not going according to plan.

Thus, many plans had been necessarily postponed, but there were certain things that had to be done. Destroying or taking control of the laboratory was a must for her.

“Alright, then go ahead and do it. The Independent State is your domain. No one can touch you on your own turf!” Mr. Jiang’s chuckle came through the phone. He could now picture Wen Xin’s expression and understand the determination of her all-out effort.

Now he somewhat understood why Wen Xin’s father, when he was in power, had exhausted all his effort to amend one of the Monarch’s rules—that no one, no matter who, no matter what group, could dispute the decisions of the current Monarch.

This clause sounded extremely autocratic, but only he knew that it was the only support left for Wen Xin by her father. He was well aware of how much Wen Xin’s father could stir things up, and for Wen Xin to sit securely in her position, this clause was of utmost importance.

“The efforts your father made to protect you back then weren’t in vain, and the Independent State should indeed be put in order. Just go ahead and do it. If worst comes to worst and you fail, you can always join Mu Chengxi in F State. He can protect you well for a lifetime,” Mr. Jiang said, shifting the subject to Mu Chengxi, causing Wen Xin to blink in surprise. Wen Xin turned her head towards Mu Chengxi, blinking in confusion, not understanding the implication of Mr. Jiang’s words.

“What? What does this have to do with Mu Chengxi? Are you saying that if I fail in the Independent State, I should just run away? Foster father, you know that’s not my style!” Wen Xin said with a light smile, her competitive nature shining through—there wasn’t anything she was determined to do that she hadn’t been able to achieve.

But Mr. Jiang’s words had successfully piqued Wen Xin’s curiosity. She knew Mr. Jiang must have learned something, or he wouldn’t have suddenly brought up Mu Chengxi.

“Foster father, could you elaborate on this matter concerning Mu Chengxi? What’s going on with Mu Chengxi?” she inquired.

Mu Chengxi, who was eating congee, had not expected that something he hadn’t done could be related to him, which made the matter quite interesting.

“You should ask him about it yourself. If he’s willing to tell you, he will naturally do so. If he doesn’t, it means the time isn’t right yet. Just wait a bit longer…”

With that, Mr. Jiang gave a faint smile, not giving Wen Xin another chance to speak, and hung up the phone.
