Chapter 858: Chapter 856: Old Madam Falls Ill
 

“Miss? What miss? A girl with an injured arm just came in, and I don’t know how she did it, but she immobilized me; it was so painful. It felt like countless ants were crawling all over my body.”

The secretary spoke feeling quite aggrieved. She had just done what she had woken up to do, and she didn’t understand why he was treating her this way.

Xiao Ci looked at the secretary and sighed helplessly. He didn’t know how to feel about arranging this, thinking that Wen Yunuo had been treated the same by Wen Xin, he felt that it wasn’t much of an issue.

As Wen Xin came out of the Kunshan Group building, she dialed Yan Qing’s number, which was answered very quickly.

“Boss, what’s the matter? Why did you think to call me?”

“Arrange for someone to go to Country D to find Tan Xingyue and Gu Yanzhe’s whereabouts. They weren’t taken by Wen Yunuo’s people but by the Old Fox’s people. I need them brought out in the shortest time possible. I won’t allow any accidents to happen to them.”

Wen Xin spoke with some urgency. She didn’t completely trust what Wen Yunuo had said. She knew Wen Yunuo’s personality very well—he would not easily trust anyone, even if they had already decided on a cooperation.

“I understand. I’ll arrange it now. Should I conceal our affiliation with the Di Ting Organization?”

Yan Qing couldn’t help but ask for Wen Xin’s opinion regarding the exposure of their identities. He knew Wen Xin had always treated the Di Ting Organization as her trump card, believing she wouldn’t expose her identity in this matter.

“Don’t worry about exposure. If the Di Ting’s identity is exposed, the only one who should be scared is the Old Fox. He underestimates the resources at my disposal, which is why he has been so brazen.”

“Let him realize that I do have a trump card, and that there is no problem—at least he will consider my power before taking any action. I hope he doesn’t act rashly.”

At that moment, Wen Xin felt that the Old Fox had challenged her bottom line. Attacking her people was forcing her hand. If it weren’t for unfinished business, she would have gone straight back to the Independent State to demand people.

“Okay, boss, I know what to do now. I’ll go arrange it right away.” Yan Qing said, then hung up the phone immediately, knowing that the most crucial task now was to locate Tan Xingyue and Liang Luoyu.

Wen Xin hung up and walked to the curb to wait for a taxi, but before a taxi arrived, a flashy Maserati pulled up in front of her.

At that moment, the car window rolled down, and Qian Meng’s handsome face appeared, looking at Wen Xin with great enthusiasm.

“Little princess, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for a car? Let me give you a ride home.”

Qian Meng said as he got out of the car, walked around, and held the rear door open waiting for Wen Xin to get in.

Observing Qian Meng’s servile actions, Wen Xin simply looked away and walked to the car, bending down to get in.

Once inside the car, Wen Xin looked at the happy face of Qian Meng sitting in the driver’s seat, furrowed her brow slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she slowly started speaking.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to handle some matters. Our company has a partnership with Jiangang Group, but the CEO of Jiangang Group has been acting strangely lately, blocking my projects, so I came to check on things personally. I didn’t expect to run into you. What brings you here?”

Qian Meng didn’t know what Wen Xin was doing there alone, as neither Mu Chengxi nor Ms. Mu’s companies were located here; her presence was quite unexpected.

Wen Xin merely watched Qian Meng through the rearview mirror, not asking too much about his company’s affair, and he wasn’t planning to intervene.

Seeing that Wen Xin had no intention of explaining, Qian Meng drove seriously without making a sound.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang. She looked down at her phone in her hand and quickly answered the call, unsure of why Zhuge Jingming would call at this time.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Little Uncle-Master, it’s bad news. Old Madam Mu has had an accident. Please come quickly; I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone.”

Hearing that Old Madam Mu had encountered an accident, Wen Xin stiffened unconsciously, unable to comprehend how Old Madam Mu, who had been well just the other day, suddenly met with an incident.

“Describe Grandma’s condition to me; I’m coming back to the old residence immediately….”

Wen Xin listened anxiously as Zhuge Jingming described the Old Madam’s condition. She was about to say something to Qian Meng when she saw that he had already turned the car around.

After understanding the Old Madam’s situation, Wen Xin, with a gentle voice but methodically, instructed Zhuge Jingming on how to administer the medication to the Old Madam. She was acutely aware of how crucial the immediate medication was for the Old Madam’s subsequent recovery.

She could not, and would not, let a minor oversight cause the Old Madam to suffer from any lingering illness; she couldn’t take that risk.

When Wen Xin arrived at the old residence, it was already over an hour later, and just as she did, Mu Chengxi was also stepping out of the car.

While on the car ride, she had asked Qian Meng to call Mu Chengxi to inform him about Old Madam Mu’s situation, and Mu Chengxi was already aware and had told her to meet outside the old house.

“Grandma’s condition isn’t very good.” Auntie Fu had said during the phone call to Mu Chengxi at the time, mentioning the incident that had happened. He knew that part of the reason Grandma was upset was because of Mu Chengxi’s decision to relinquish control of the company, which had indeed been impulsive.

“Grandma’s situation has been communicated to me by Zhuge Jingming, and it might not be as bad as we imagined.”

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi talked as they walked toward the yard, paying no attention to Qian Meng who was left behind.

Qian Meng stood still, watching their departing figures for a moment. He hesitated, then returned to his car, got in, and drove away, as the Mu family’s affairs were not for him to be involved in.

When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi entered the Old Madam’s courtyard, the entire yard was unnaturally quiet, as if a dropping pin could be heard clearly.

“Miss Wen, Young Master, you have finally arrived. The Old Madam…”

Auntie Fu, upon seeing Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, instantly relaxed, almost dead nervous, fearing something might have happened to the Old Madam.

“Auntie Fu, don’t panic; I’m going to see Grandma.” Wen Xin, without taking time to calm Auntie Fu’s emotions, immediately walked quickly towards the Old Madam’s room.

Entering the Old Madam’s room, Wen Xin saw Zhuge Jingming administering acupuncture to the Old Madam, sweat forming on his forehead during the process.

“How is the situation?” Wen Xin advanced, observing the Old Madam’s complexion, and extended her hand to gently press down on the Old Madam’s wrist, beginning to feel her pulse.
