Chapter 838: Chapter 837: Identity Exposed, They Panic
 

Mr. Bai’s words didn’t make the Old Fox feel any sense of guilt; on the contrary, the man seemed even more relaxed.

“I have no idea about the things you’re talking about… You better not sit there and spout nonsense, otherwise… You should know that I care a lot about my reputation.”

“Back then, after Bo Qian’s child went missing, I also arranged for people to search everywhere. She’s my granddaughter, how could I possibly let her…”

“You’re full of shit!” Mr. Bai exploded when he heard the Old Fox’s defense, grabbing the cup the butler handed him and forcefully slamming it onto the table.

“Old Fox, at this point, there’s no need for you to put on an act with me, it’s completely unnecessary. If I didn’t have evidence, I wouldn’t have come at all!”

The Old Fox, seeing Mr. Bai’s irritation, sat down on the couch and sneered coldly, “Elder Bai, we’ve known each other for decades. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? I didn’t forcefully keep Wen Huai back then, how could I easily harm a young girl?”

“You’ve been misled by a vile person. You say Wen Xin found Bo Qian’s daughter, then have Wen Xin bring her back to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the family fold. Regardless, they are both children of the Wen family.”

At that moment, the Old Fox put on a very loving demeanor. If Mr. Bai didn’t know his true nature, he would have truly been deceived by this affectionate side, believing he was a tenderhearted old man who loved children.

On the other side of the room, Wen Xin watched the Old Fox with a feeling of nausea, suddenly feeling there was no need to negotiate with him.

She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Mr. Bai, telling him it wasn’t worth wasting time and to head back first.

After receiving the message, Mr. Bai snorted coldly, didn’t say anything superfluous, and simply took the tablet he was holding and left the Wen family residence.

After Mr. Bai left, the Old Fox looked at the mess on the table, annoyed, and also forcefully threw his cup down on the coffee table. At this moment, all the servants in the living room held their breath, not daring to make a sound, fearful they might be caught up in the next moment.

“Ah Si…”

“I’m here…”

“Find a way to go to Beijing and get rid of that damned girl for me. I really didn’t expect that after dodging me for two years, she would align herself with Wen Xin and even reveal her own identity. It’s outrageous!”

The Old Fox was previously nervous when he heard news about Xiao Mi in Beijing but relaxed after Xiao Mi helped move Jiang Linyan out of the way, taking the events as mere coincidences.

To his surprise, she was actually found by Wen Xin, and the two of them even recognized each other…

“Master, Xiao Mi was brought back by the young mistress from F State, she might have known about her identity already on the way back.”

“Moreover, Xiao Mi’s identity is special. She knows too much about the inner workings; if the young mistress finds out… I’m afraid…”

The butler looked at the Old Fox with worried eyes. He was very clear about Xiao Mi’s identity and knew that she had been exposed to things people didn’t want known, so he was very concerned.

“How dare you speak! You were the one told to alter Xiao Mi’s DNA, and you assured me it was handled properly, that there would be no accidents. But look at what’s happened now, that damned girl has detected it, and this whole situation is getting more and more difficult to manage.”

The Old Fox turned around and glared at the butler in anger. It had been the butler who brought Xiao Mi back, and after Xiao Mi was brought back, the Old Fox had considered raising Xiao Mi as a young lady of the Wen family.

But then, not wanting Wen Xin to find out about his involvement in the accident of her parents, he thought of changing Xiao Mi’s genes, making it impossible for Wen Xin to trace Xiao Mi’s identity.

However, nobody expected that later on, Xiao Mi would become completely uncontrollable, hiding on her own accord, and he began to use drugs to threaten and shape Xiao Mi into a top assassin.

Until two years ago, when Xiao Mi was taken back to F-state by Muxi, he contemplated that it would be fine for Xiao Mi to be there since there were no allies of his in F-state.

Nobody could have foreseen it would end up like this.

“How many months of her medication are left? Contact her, and if she obeys and keeps quiet, give her the antidote on time. But if she disobeys, then don’t blame me for being unkind,” he said.

“Master, Xiao Mi’s medicine will last for about four more months, but there are too many variables in these months. If she collaborates with the young lady, then it’s hard to predict what will happen,” the butler replied.

The butler was still very worried about the uncontrollable Xiao Mi, who had done too much for them and knew too much. If she were left unchecked, it would be an excessive risk.

“So what do you suggest we do?” asked the Old Fox, feeling nothing but a headache upon hearing the butler’s words. He too wanted to get rid of Xiao Mi quickly but was unsure who might be Xiao Mi’s opponents.

“You’re well aware of Xiao Mi’s capabilities. I’ve sent people to deal with her, but do you think they stand a chance? The only option would be to cancel the world’s number one… but you know that person always acts on a whim and refuses assignments.”

After finishing his words, the Old Fox lay down on the sofa, one hand massaging his painfully throbbing temples, the other reaching for his phone. He needed to accelerate his plans as Wen Xin was the biggest threat in his scheme, and he didn’t want to give her any opportunity to disrupt it.

Mu Chengxi walked into the bedroom from outside and saw Wen Xin sitting in front of the computer, lost in thought. He approached her and gently pinched her cheek.

“Still busy? Did you video chat with the Old Fox? How’d it go?”

After returning from Zhuge Jingming, Wen Xin had contacted her grandfather in Independent State about Xiao Mi. Her grandfather, too outraged to hold back, marched straight to the Old Fox’s home.

Wen Xin, also wanting to talk to the Old Fox, didn’t stop Mr. Bai. As she worked on erasing any records of Xiao Mi’s identity as an assassin, she awaited news from Elder Bai.

In the meantime, Mu Chengxi went out to take care of his own business. Now, more than two hours later, he felt that the conversation should be about over and came in to inquire about the situation.

“We didn’t talk. Grandfather did take me to the Old Fox, but the Old Fox flatly denied Xiao Mi’s identity. Since he won’t recognize her, there’s no point in discussing the matter,” Wen Xin replied.

Wen Xin extended an arm to embrace Mu Chengxi’s waist, snuggling into his arms. Mu Chengxi lowered his head, kissed the top of her hair, then picked Wen Xin up and headed toward the bedroom.

Geng Qiu sat in a luxurious office, nervously surveying her surroundings, the unease in her eyes betraying the turmoil within her.
