“Madam, it’s my fault for not visiting you sooner.”
Wen Xin remembered the last time she came back was when her mentor’s wife was unwell and they were searching worldwide for a divine doctor. She stayed at the castle for over a month, nursing her back to health before leaving.
“We all know it’s better for you not to be here often. Those people are too ambitious. Frequent visits might be unsafe for you.”
“But let’s be honest, you didn’t come back just to visit us this time, did you?”
The Earl looked at Wen Xin’s reddened eyes and the bloodshot veins, his brows tightly furrowed. She clearly looked like she had been wronged.
He thought for a moment. If Wen Xin hadn’t been bullied, she probably wouldn’t have come here. She must be seeking help.
“Have you been wronged? I knew those old guys weren’t any good. I was against you taking this position from the start. Now look, you haven’t even settled in, and you’ve been bullied.”
“Tell me, what’s going on? What did those old fellows do now?”
Seeing the Earl’s indignant and angry expression, Wen Xin smiled lightly. “No one dares to bully me. My boyfriend has gone missing. It seems the people from the Independent State are involved…”
“That’s not considered bullying? Daring to mess with the little princess’s boyfriend. Wait a minute, Xiao Xin, did you say boyfriend? You’re only twenty and already have a boyfriend? What about your engagement to Alfredo…”
The Earl looked confused. The engagement between Wen Xin and Alfredo was arranged by that old fox, and Wen Xin hadn’t objected. He thought Wen Xin liked Alfredo too. How come there’s now a boyfriend?
“Yes, my boyfriend. I found his cufflink on a cargo ship in the Independent State. I need Moore’s help!”
“What clues do you have?”
As they spoke, Moore hurriedly walked in from outside and respectfully bowed to Wen Xin.
“You don’t need so many formalities. I don’t like all that nonsense. Here is the usage list of the ship I found. It’s all coded. Can you find out which family used this ship?”
Wen Xin pulled Moore up from the ground, had him sit next to her, and handed him the phone.
Moore glanced at the phone and handed it to his assistant behind him to investigate.
“When did your boyfriend go missing? Are you sure he’s in the Independent State?”
“Three days ago. I’ve already wasted two days elsewhere. I’m really afraid something might happen. Have you noticed any unusual movements from those old guys?”
Hearing that this involved those old men from the Independent State, Moore frowned slightly. “Is your boyfriend’s identity special? Did they capture him because of you?”
“No, my boyfriend’s influence is in Continent F. His name is Mu Chengxi, from Beijing. Those old guys don’t know my identity in Z Country. They captured Mu Chengxi for their own purposes!”
Wen Xin relied solely on Moore now. She told him everything she knew, hoping he could provide some leads.
After listening to Wen Xin, Moore squinted slightly, thinking the name Mu Chengxi sounded familiar.
“Wait a minute. Is your boyfriend the diamond tycoon from Continent F? Alfredo went to Beijing before, and when he returned, the Independent State was sanctioned by a diamond tycoon from Continent F. Could that man be your boyfriend?”
Moore’s words made the Earl and his wife look at Wen Xin in surprise. They hadn’t expected Wen Xin’s boyfriend to have such a background.
“That should be him. I don’t know much about his business in Continent F. I never paid attention to his dealings with the diamond mines.”
Wen Xin knew about Mu Chengxi’s other identities but had little knowledge about his involvement in diamond mining.
“This issue has a significant impact on the Independent State. Recently, there was news about a gold mine in Continent F. If someone targeted him, it might be because of the mineral resources in Continent F.”
When it came to mineral resources, only two families came to mind: the Jason family and that old fox’s family.
“I’ll have someone investigate. You wait for the news here!” Moore stood up, not daring to delay Wen Xin’s matter.
“I can’t wait. I need to go immediately to find him. I’m afraid they might…”
Wen Xin stood up with Moore, unable to stay calm. If she could bring people into the Independent State, she would have stormed in instead of coming here for help.
She didn’t have the patience to wait for news.
“Even if you can’t wait, you have to. Moving without confirmation will be dangerous. I’ll get you the information as soon as possible. Don’t act rashly.”
For the first time, Moore spoke firmly to Wen Xin. Though he had never been particularly nice to her before, he had never contradicted her. This time, he genuinely disagreed with her approach.
Wen Xin looked into Moore’s blue eyes, hesitated, then nodded slightly. He was right; she couldn’t afford to alert the enemy.
“Housekeeper, prepare a room for the young lady to rest in.”
“No need, just go investigate. I’ll wait for your news here.”
Wen Xin was exhausted but couldn’t calm her mind to rest. She was genuinely afraid that delaying would endanger Mu Chengxi.
“Alright, wait for my news.” Moore quickly left the villa’s living room and hurried outside.
Meanwhile, in a dark basement, there was a chair used for interrogation. A man sat straight-backed in the chair.
His hair was disheveled, his eyes closed, face pale without a hint of blood, and his breathing was weak.
His body was covered in various wounds, and the bloodstains had already clotted. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, giving him a look of both misery and nobility.
“This man is really tough. The people beating him got tired, but he still holds on. It’s impressive. If it weren’t for the drugs, capturing him would have been impossible.”
“Exactly. You haven’t seen his eyes, cold and fierce like a lion’s. If we weren’t sure he couldn’t escape, I wouldn’t dare approach him. He’s terrifying.”
“I don’t know where the Second Young Master found this man, but he’s terrifying. No wonder he chose such a place to imprison him. Anywhere else wouldn’t hold him.”
“We’d better stay vigilant. If anything goes wrong, it won’t just be punishment; it could cost us our lives. If he escapes, he’ll slaughter everyone.”
