“Chairman, that man has a gunshot wound…”
When Baldy saw Yuan Junye, he was almost scared to death. He immediately sent the man to the hospital and arranged for a medical team to perform surgery before rushing over to report to Alfredo.
“A gunshot wound? What’s going on?” Alfredo abruptly stood up from his chair, a surge of panic flooding him. How could he explain this to Wen Xin?
He hastily grabbed the phone on his desk, intending to call Wen Xin, but quickly stopped himself.
Wen Xin had only instructed him to protect the man, without specifying that he couldn’t be injured. Moreover, the injury might have been sustained back in Country Z, so it wasn’t his responsibility.
Alfredo forced himself to calm down. He pulled a chair and sat back down.
“What’s his current condition? Make sure he’s guarded well and ensure no further mishaps.”
“He’s still in surgery. We’ve arranged for people to keep watch outside. The Elders Council’s men have caught up but haven’t dared to act recklessly. Chairman, this man…”
Baldy was still unclear about some things. He had left in a hurry and hadn’t had time to ask questions. Now that he understood the situation, he could handle things better.
“He’s Miss’s man. Arrange for the best doctors and strive to have him recover as much as possible within three days. We need to send him back to Country Z in three days.”
Talking about this made Alfredo’s mood sour. Any random man could make Wen Xin go to great lengths to find Doll for help, yet every time he spoke to Wen Xin, she never showed him a kind face.
Upon hearing that it was Miss’s person, Baldy recalled the brutal things Miss had done. His hand trembled involuntarily at his side.
“Uh… does Miss know about his injury?”
“No, keep the information sealed. Don’t let anyone know, especially the Tang family.”
Alfredo rubbed his temples and his tense forehead. Handling these troublesome matters was truly vexing.
Not only did he have to appease Wen Xin’s emotions, but he also had to withstand the pressure from the Elders Council. The worst part was that he might end up being the scapegoat for both sides. It was really torturous.
“Chairman, the young master of the Tang family is in the reception room and wants to see you. He said he has something to discuss with you.”
Hearing that the Tang family’s young master had arrived, Alfredo’s face darkened further. His first reaction was that the Tang family had come for Wen Xin, so he chose not to meet them.
“Tell the Tang family’s young master that I’m in a video conference and don’t have time. Ask him to come another day.”
Alfredo had had enough of the pressure from the various families. Although the Tang family was relatively well-behaved, he always ended up compromising due to Wen Xin.
Sometimes, he really felt that his position was too suffocating. It seemed like the Independent State was under his control, but in reality, he was just constantly mediating and compromising…
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xin took Chu Yunxuan to Tianye Technology Company. She told Mu Chengxu that she would be busy for three days and wouldn’t have much time.
After sending Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan to Tianye Technology Company, Mu Chengxu had Mu Bei stay behind while he drove back to the military training base.
As soon as Mu Chengxu entered the administrative building of the military training base, Wen Huai was already waiting in the lobby.
Seeing Wen Huai, Mu Chengxu casually unbuttoned a button on his collar, rolled up his sleeves, and then raised his eyebrows at Wen Huai. “Let’s talk in the office.”
Mu Chengxu walked ahead, with Wen Huai following behind, his expression somber and serious.
Back in the office, Mu Chengxu poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp before looking at Wen Huai, who was sitting obediently on the sofa.
He pulled up a document from his phone and sent it to Wen Huai via WeChat.
“Take a look at the situation of Ghost’s Domain. If you’re afraid, I can reconsider your training. If you want the challenge, I’ll have Mu Nan meet you at Ghost’s Domain. He’ll ensure your safety, but all decisions within Ghost’s Domain will be yours to make.”
“While you’re reviewing the document, let me tell you about the current situation of Ghost’s Domain.”
“Ghost’s Domain is a weakened organization that, despite still holding some status, has long been hollowed out.”
“But this should be a good thing for you. You can reshape it as you see fit, and it will develop accordingly.”
“However, this comes with significant risks. The biggest challenge is uniting the people, which you’ll need to overcome.”
“Another issue is that the core members who left Ghost’s Domain are now untraceable. We don’t know their status or potential threats, so you’ll need to handle this too.”
Mu Chengxu took a black token from his pocket and placed it in front of Wen Huai.
“This is the Ghost Talisman. Don’t take it out lightly. There are only two situations where it should be revealed: one, when you’ve fully controlled the situation, and you can be sure that Ghost’s Domain is under your command; two, when the situation is beyond your control and chaos ensues. Only then can you use the Ghost Talisman.”
“In these two scenarios, you can bring out the Ghost Talisman. Otherwise, don’t expose it to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Listening to Mu Chengxu’s detailed explanation and looking at the information he sent, Wen Huai realized how tricky Ghost’s Domain’s problems were.
However, thinking about Wen Xin’s capabilities, he knew she had faced even more challenging situations. He wouldn’t give up easily.
“I’ll do my best.” Wen Huai looked up, his dark eyes firm as he faced Mu Chengxu. No matter what, he couldn’t continue living in a greenhouse. He needed to support Wen Xin.
“Then I’ll personally escort you. With Mu Nan there, he can ensure your safety. Do you need to return to the city to pack your things? We depart tomorrow morning.”
Mu Chengxu thought to himself that if he sent Wen Huai away while Wen Xin was busy, she might be upset when she found out. However, he wasn’t worried about her anger. If Wen Huai could be trained, he was willing to face her wrath. Growth always comes with a price.
“No need, I can leave with you tomorrow morning.” Wen Huai stood up, looking seriously at Mu Chengxu.
“Brother-in-law, please take care of my sister. Protect her and keep her away from danger as much as possible. Even if she can’t avoid it, I hope you’ll always be by her side.”
