Chapter 832: Chapter 831 Wen Xin is at a loss, familial relationships seem even harder to handle
 

“There might be a misunderstanding, don’t you want to hear her explanation?”

Mu Chengxi knew the words Wen Xin spoke weren’t her true intention. He looked at Wen Xin, his brows lightly creased, and asked her gently and slowly,

“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Did I force her to continue being a hitman? I’ve brought her back already. As long as she has a choice, as long as she’s willing, she can leave that path and not be a hitman.”

Wen Xin glanced at Xiao Mi indifferently, with a hint of disappointment flashing through her eyes. The last thing she wanted was for Xiao Mi to return to the life of a hitman, but it now seemed that Xiao Mi was willing to live that way.

“What choice do I have? What way out? I thought that being brought back by you meant I could escape from there, but what happened? You just had to discover my identity, and my medicine is about to run out. I have no choice; I really have no choice!”

Xiao Mi sat on the ground, screaming at Wen Xin with a heart-wrenching cry. Her emotions collapsed in an instant when she saw the look of disappointment on Wen Xin’s face.

“Medicine, what medicine?”

Wen Xin immediately latched onto the key point in Xiao Mi’s words. She hadn’t expected Xiao Mi’s return to being a hitman was actually due to being controlled by medication.

Wen Xin stood up from the couch, walked over to Xiao Mi, and crouched down, looking at her with furrowed brows.

“What medicine are you talking about? Why is the effect expiring, what exactly is going on?”

Wen Xin was quite agitated at this point. She knew of the dirty tricks played by the Independent State, but she never imagined the Old Fox would turn Xiao Mi into a drugged pawn, controlling her with medication.

Wen Xin didn’t care that Mu Chengxi was untying the ropes on Xiao Mi. All she wanted to know was what exactly was happening to Xiao Mi. She pulled Xiao Mi’s hand over and placed her fingers on Xiao Mi’s wrist, beginning to take her pulse.

However, after five minutes, she detected no abnormalities in Xiao Mi’s pulse.

Wen Xin let go of Xiao Mi’s hand and pulled Xiao Mi up from the ground with her uninjured hand, having Xiao Mi sit down on a chair.

“Stop crying for now and tell me what’s going on with the medicine? Who controlled you with what drug?”

Wen Xin pulled a tissue from a nearby box and wiped Xiao Mi’s face a few times, cleaning off the tears.

“What exactly happened?”

Wen Xin’s emotions exploded the moment she heard Xiao Mi was controlled by drugs. She was already dissatisfied with Xiao Mi becoming a hitman, and now to find out she became a drug pawn made her feel murderous.

Xiao Mi raised her head and saw the concern in Wen Xin’s eyes. She had always wondered why Wen Xin was so kind to her, and Wen Xin’s attitude now made her even more puzzled.

“Why do you care about what I do? You know my identity already, I am a hitman. Why are you still kind to me? Why?”

The tears on Xiao Mi’s face flowed even more fiercely. She didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t control herself.

Before meeting Wen Xin, she could be a cold-blooded assassin, but now she had developed emotions she shouldn’t have, and she had begun to crave the tenderness they offered.

She didn’t know what to do, she was terrified that Wen Xin would personally tell her he didn’t want her and to leave her alone, so she chose to leave. As long as she was far from them, she wouldn’t have to hear such words.

Watching Xiao Mi crying continuously, all of Wen Xin’s anger was worn away. Turning around, she wanted to go outside, but halfway there, she turned back to look at the still crying Xiao Mi.

“Don’t run around, just wait here for me. I’ll take you to a place in a bit,” said Wen Xin before she pulled open the door to the study and walked out.

Wen Xin left the study and headed directly towards the bedroom. Entering the bedroom, she began to search for her cell phone. After finding it, her hands were trembling as she dialed Sun Ning’s number.

Sun Ning was still in the Laboratory, and he normally kept his phone on silent, but ever since Wen Xin began to call him frequently, he naturally changed his settings to ringtone mode. Unexpectedly, Wen Xin really did call him.

“Little princess, is there something wrong?”

Prepare the equipment in the laboratory that can test blood. I’m bringing Xiao Mi over to see you. She just said that she’s been controlled by the Old Fox’s drugs and needs you to test and find out what drug it is. I need you to cure her of the poison, as she says there isn’t much time left for her,” Wen Xin said, sounding particularly agitated. Although she couldn’t accept that Xiao Mi was an assassin, she found it even harder to accept the fact that Xiao Mi had toxins in her body controlling her. If anything happened to Xiao Mi, she would destroy the Wen family right then and there, not allowing the Old Fox to live and escape.

After giving a brief explanation, Wen Xin turned and went back into the study, where Xiao Mi was now alone, with Mu Chengxi having gone off to who knows where.

“Can you walk?” Wen Xin looked at Xiao Mi and sighed helplessly. She didn’t know how to deal with matters of kinship. Wen Huai had always been well-behaved, never causing any trouble, so she had never felt such worry.

Xiao Mi looked up at Wen Xin, her lovely brows tightly furrowed. “Why do you care about me?”

“Because you’re my sister, I have no choice but to care about you. Wen Mi, you’d better behave yourself and not test my limits. I am not a patient person,” Wen Xin said, finally unable to suppress her temper any longer and bursting out.

“I also want to ignore you, but how can I not care about you when you’re my sister? Let’s not talk about this right now. Wait until we’ve checked what toxin is inside you, then I’ll explain to you who you really are,” Wen Xin said, pulling gently on Xiao Mi, who stood there stunned after hearing her words, urging her, “What are you spacing out for? Follow me to the Biological Laboratory to find Sun Ning, hurry up!”

Under Wen Xin’s urging, Xiao Mi stood up, but her gaze remained fixed on Wen Xin, as if she hadn’t quite grasped what Wen Xin had just said.

Seeing the look in Xiao Mi’s eyes, Wen Xin sighed helplessly. “Don’t doubt it, you and I are sisters born of the same father and mother. You and Wen Huai are fraternal twins. First, let’s go to the lab and check the toxins in your body. We can discuss other issues when we get back.”

With that, Wen Xin, using her uninjured hand, led Xiao Mi out of the study. When they reached the top of the stairs, she turned back to the room, casually took a brand-new set of clothes from the wardrobe, draped them over Xiao Mi, and then escorted her downstairs.

Halfway down, Mu Chengxi came up from downstairs, embraced Wen Xin, and took her downstairs. He grabbed Wen Xin’s clothes that were placed at the cabinet at the entrance and slipped them onto Wen Xin.

“Heading to the Biological Laboratory?” Mu Chengxi asked softly, glancing at the slowly approaching Xiao Mi.
