The car stopped at Truth Listener’s base. Yan Qing led Wen Xin into the information security department. Curious and amazed looks followed Wen Xin as they walked by. It was their first time seeing such a beautiful girl.
“Is she our new colleague? And brought in personally by Boss Yan? She must be very capable!”
“Definitely. Look at how Boss Yan treats her. She must be high-level. We have a new leader!”
“Doesn’t seem like it. Look where she’s headed—that’s the office of our mysterious boss, the Doll. Could she be the Doll’s child here for an internship?”
“Yeah, that makes sense. She must be the Doll’s child. We should find a chance to ask for the Doll’s autograph.”
“Alright, stop chatting and focus on the search task. Don’t miss any potential landing spots. We can’t afford any negligence.”
A gentle voice reminded them to stay focused on finding the missing plane, emphasizing the importance of their work.
In the prepared office, Wen Xin looked at the latest equipment, nodded with satisfaction, and thanked Yan Qing. She then sat at the computer desk, quickly typing a string of code to search for signals related to Mu Chengxi.
After hanging up from Wen Xin’s call, Mu Dong sat on the sofa, deep in thought. He wondered who had leaked the information, letting Wen Xin know about Mu Chengxi’s disappearance.
Mu Xi walked in just as Mu Dong was rubbing his temples. He made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Mu Dong, patting his shoulder lightly before sitting opposite him.
“Still no news on Master Xi?”
“No, we’ve sent people to investigate Continent M. It seems unrelated, but we can’t figure out who would do this. We don’t even know Master Xi’s current situation.”
Mu Dong buried his face in his hands. For the first time, he felt powerless. Previously, wherever Mu Chengxi went, someone was always by his side.
This time, Mu Chengxi had gone alone and got into trouble, making them feel guilty and unable to accept the situation.
“We’ve searched everywhere possible. Any news from Truth Listener? When can the Doll use the global security system? If we wait any longer, I’m worried Master Xi might be in danger.”
Mu Xi lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag to mask his complex emotions.
His calmness was just a facade. He had to oversee the affairs of Continent F.
He couldn’t afford to panic, fearing that news of Mu Chengxi’s disappearance would cause chaos in Continent F.
“Miss Wen already knows about Master Xi’s disappearance. I’m not sure who leaked it.” Mu Dong was agitated, worried that Wen Xin might do something rash upon learning about it.
“The priority is to find Master Xi. Don’t worry about that woman. Isn’t she supposed to be quite capable? Let her protect herself. I can’t manage everything.”
Mu Chengxi had assigned Mu Nan and his subordinates to protect Wen Xin’s brother, which displeased Mu Xi.
In Mu Xi’s eyes, Wen Xin was just a nuisance, contributing nothing.
Mu Dong knew Mu Xi had a prejudice against Wen Xin. He had no energy to explain Wen Xin’s importance. He lowered his head, unwilling to say more.
Mu Dong’s silence made Mu Xi believe he agreed. This increased Mu Xi’s frustration, as he couldn’t understand why Master Xi chose such a troublesome woman. The socialites in Beijing who admired Master Xi were far more capable than Wen Xin.
“Mu Dong, even if there’s news about Master Xi, don’t tell that woman. Keep her out of trouble.”
With that, Mu Xi extinguished his cigarette, stood up from the sofa, and left the room to handle other matters.
Mu Dong propped his head on his hand, leaning against the sofa. His head ached, and he had no idea where to find Mu Chengxi.
An hour after activating the global security system, Wen Xin shut it down. Yan Qing stood behind her, worried. If Wen Xin’s security system couldn’t trace Mu Chengxi, it meant something was really wrong.
Sitting in the office chair, Wen Xin angrily threw the keyboard at the monitor, feeling utterly powerless.
In the past, she was too young to protect her parents or Tan Xingyue…
Later, with her medical skills, she couldn’t save her grandfather or treat her grandmother…
Now, even with the most advanced security system, she couldn’t find Mu Chengxi…
Why did heaven torment her, taking away everything she cared about one by one? She only wanted a normal life. Was that too much to ask?
Yan Qing approached, wanting to grab Wen Xin’s arm and tell her to stay calm.
Before he could touch her, Wen Xin spoke in a defeated tone, “If even I can’t find Mu Chengxi, then he’s probably in real danger…”
Wen Xin lay on the desk, burying her head in her arms. She had pinned all her hopes on her security system, believing that not even a mosquito could escape it.
However, she couldn’t find Mu Chengxi. She had even searched uninhabited islands but found no trace.
“Boss… calm down. Maybe there’s something we haven’t thought of?”
Yan Qing knew his words were likely useless, but he couldn’t help trying to comfort Wen Xin, hoping she might think of something they missed.
Suddenly, Wen Xin stood up from her chair and walked to the sofa. She picked up her backpack with trembling hands and quickly dialed a number on her phone.
The call was answered quickly, and an elderly voice came through.
“Xinxin? What made you think of calling me?”
“Grandpa, has anything happened in the Independent State recently? Like, have you captured anyone or noticed any unusual activity?”
Hearing Wen Xin’s question, Tang Xiao was slightly taken aback. He wondered why Wen Xin suddenly cared about the Independent State. Wen Xin’s personality was just like his youngest daughter’s, disliking the Independent State. It was unusual for her to show concern about it.
