Chapter 850: Chapter 848: In danger, calmly think about how to save oneself
 

When Liang Luoyu heard the woman say that she would not lay a hand on Tan Xingyue, he unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. He hoped they could truly keep their word, as otherwise, if anything happened to Tan Xingyue, he would make them regret their visit to the human world.

Right next to Liang Luoyu, Tan Xingyue, with her legs tightly clasped to her chest, anxiously surveyed her surroundings. Her mind was filled with regret for having insisted on leaving with Liang Luoyu and for whimsically going shopping…

If it weren’t for her whims, both she and Liang Luoyu wouldn’t have ended up in this situation, and she didn’t know what was happening with Liang Luoyu now.

…

Back in her home country, Wen Xin, distractedly ate dinner and then waited for updates from Mu Nan. She knew that the news from Mu Nan wouldn’t come quickly, but she still unconsciously hoped that time would pass faster, eager to confirm their whereabouts.

Before dinner, Wen Xin had contacted the competition team at Jingda University. The team leader mentioned that the day before deciding to return to the country, Tan Xingyue suddenly asked for leave, claiming she wanted to interview a pianist in Country D.

At that time, seeing Liang Luoyu by Tan Xingyue’s side, the teacher had not declined her request and simply let Tan Xingyue and Liang Luoyu leave together, unknowing of the events that were to follow.

Wen Xin sat on the couch with her eyes closed, trying hard to suppress the restlessness in her heart. She couldn’t think of any notable pianists in Country D and wondered what Tan Xingyue was actually planning to do or what excuse she used to do it.

Wen Huai sat on the couch opposite Wen Xin, watching her with a serious expression and eyes closed, and he unconsciously turned his head towards Mu Chengxi.

“Brother-in-law, my sister…,” Wen Huai felt that Mu Chengxi was much easier to talk to than Wen Xin, so he dared not ask Wen Xin directly, hoping instead to hear some answers from Mu Chengxi.

Wen Huai had already sensed Wen Xin’s distraction during dinner, initially thinking she was not feeling well. But now, it seemed it wasn’t that simple.

Mu Chengxi put down his phone, turned his gaze to Wen Huai, and gently tapped his fingers on his leg a few times.

“Tan Xingyue and Liang Luoyu lost contact in Country D. I have already sent Mu Nan there, and he should not have arrived yet. Waiting a bit longer should bring some results.”

Mu Chengxi spoke to Wen Huai in a gentle tone; he dared not estimate the risk because he knew that saying one extra word would cause Wen Xin to worry even more. It was unnecessary to add more psychological stress to her.

“I can go to Country D. Ghost Domain has a specialized base there, and I can make arrangements.”

Upon hearing about Tan Xingyue’s incident, Wen Huai also became restless, and seeing Wen Xin’s worried expression, he felt even more that this was a situation that needed his intervention.

Sitting to the side, Xiao Mi heard Wen Huai mention the Ghost Domain and unconsciously raised his eyebrows slightly, “What is your relationship with Ghost Domain?”

Upon hearing Xiao Mi speak, Wen Huai realized that there was someone here who didn’t know much about the complex relationships and hesitated a moment before he began to explain his connection to Ghost Domain.

“It’s like…”

“We can’t use people from Ghost Domain to rescue Tan Xingyue,” Wen Xin spoke with a somewhat feeble tone; she was somewhat exhausted and rubbed her nose bridge.

“You two should quietly keep studying at Jingda University. Don’t get involved in these unnecessary matters. The physics research institute is planning to recruit new members. You and Director Tang keep an eye on it. If someone suitable comes along, keep them at the institute.”

“Also, I have brought back a few elders from the ancient martial arts family. When you have time, go pay a visit. When your parents left, both of you were young and may not remember them, but they were our parents’ partners, and it’s necessary to acknowledge them.”

“Xiao Mi, the Old Fox definitely won’t give up easily. If you find it inconvenient at school, you can move back to the villa or live upstairs, it’s your choice.”

Wen Xin raised her head, her gaze cold as she looked at them. It was clear that her mood was not good.

Wen Huai looked at Wen Xin’s bloodshot eyes. Usually obedient, he did not rebut what Wen Xin said but instead nodded in agreement.

“I know what I should do. I’ll return to the research institute tomorrow.”

“Good, that’s settled then. They might not recognize you, just explain who you are, and I will send you their details later.”

Wen Xin stood up from the couch, ready to go to the dining room to fetch her phone. She walked up to Xiao Mi and looked down at him.

“Did you hear what I just said? What are you planning to do?”

“I’m not planning to do anything. I still find it more convenient to live at school. I don’t take those people seriously, and you don’t need to worry about me. I know what I should do.”

Xiao Mi raised his head, his expression very serious as he looked at Wen Xin; he did not want her to worry about him at this time.

“As long as you know what you’re doing. Tomorrow, when Wen Huai goes to the lab, go with him to the Biology Research Institute to find Sun Ning. Press him for his opinion on the toxin in your body. Don’t delay such matters; the sooner it’s resolved, the better.”

After speaking, Wen Xin raised her hand and gently ruffled Xiao Mi’s hair. She swore in her heart that she would give them a secure life.

After clarifying what Wen Huai and Xiao Mi should do, Wen Xin asked Mu Bei to take them back to the Wen family home together.

After seeing them off, Mu Chengxi embraced Wen Xin from behind, resting his head in the crook of her neck.

“Why not let the people from Ghost Domain look for Liang Luoyu and Tan Xingyue? They would be the fastest.”

Mu Chengxi’s voice was soft as he inquired, understanding that Wen Xin had her own reasons for her actions, but still, he was somewhat confused about why she had made that choice.

Wen Xin turned in Mu Chengxi’s arms and took his hand, walking him into the living room.

When they reached the coffee table, Wen Xin picked up the cup of warm water from the table, took a sip, and said, “Don’t you remember? The seal of the Ghost Domain was taken from grandmother’s hands. Uncle Tan’s identity might be related to the Ghost Domain, and moreover, Tan Xingyue looks a lot like Uncle Tan.”

“If anyone who has seen Uncle Tan sees Tan Xingyue, they will recognize him as Uncle Tan’s son. By then, Tan Xingyue will lose his peaceful life.”

“I will protect her within my capacity, and, moreover, I trust my ability to keep her safe. I am figuring out a way, and once I find the right person, even if I have to turn over Country D, I will definitely bring Tan Xingyue and Liang Luoyu back safely.”

Wen Xin sat down next to Mu Chengxi, laying her head on his lap and looking up at him.

“Do you think the Old Fox is behind the attack on Tan Xingyue this time? I somehow feel that this isn’t related to the Old Fox at all; it must be Wen Yunuo’s decision alone.”
