Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mm, just call me if you need anything. Grandpa asked me to tell you that even though he’s old, the Taros family remains loyal to you. Do whatever you need to do.”
Moore looked at Wen Xin with sincere, unwavering azure-blue eyes, like a soldier devoted to his ruler.
“Got it. I’ll have the money transferred directly to your bank. I’ll be leaving now.”
Wen Xin handed Moore a jade seal and then turned to walk towards the airport lounge. She didn’t see the need for Moore to escort them to the plane since no one could afford to provoke them any more.
Back in the lounge, Wen Xin remembered her phone vibrating earlier. She sat on the sofa next to Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair, took out her phone, and saw a message from Tan Xingyue. She jumped up from the couch.
Wen Xin’s sudden movement caught everyone’s attention.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so agitated?”
“Tan Xingyue sent a message saying strangers took her. How can someone just take a person from Ou Jinzhi’s military training base?”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi while quickly replying to Tan Xingyue, reassuring her not to worry.
“What you’re saying seems unlikely. To get into the training base, you need to go through Ou Jinzhi. He didn’t mention Tan Xingyue being taken. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.”
Mu Chengxi, without his phone, looked at Mu Bei. Mu Bei quickly understood and stood up to call Ou Jinzhi.
After two rings, the call connected. Ou Jinzhi didn’t give Mu Bei a chance to speak and immediately said, “Mu Bei, why can’t I reach Master Xi? Where is he? Can he call Jiang Desheng?”
“Young Master Ou, did Miss Tan really get taken?”
“You already know? Yes, Tan Xingyue was taken by Jiang Desheng’s people to Tianlang Base. I’m preparing to go in now, but I’m not sure if I can bring her out.”
Ou Jinzhi wasn’t confident about his influence over Jiang Desheng. He could only try, as Jiang Desheng believed Ou Jinzhi owed his current position to him.
Mu Bei, unsure of what to say, handed the phone to Mu Chengxi, but Wen Xin snatched it before he could.
“You go back first. I’ll handle the Jiang family. They had better bring back Tan Xingyue, in the same condition as they took her. If she loses even one hair, I won’t let them off.”
With that, Wen Xin hung up and handed Mu Bei’s phone back. She then called Wen Huai.
Wen Huai answered quickly, but the noise on his end made Wen Xin frown.
“Find a quiet place to talk. Don’t keep me waiting!”
“Got it, sis!”
Wen Huai quickly found a quiet place and called Wen Xin back.
“Sis, what’s up? I was just…”
“Tan Xingyue was taken to Tianlang Base by the Jiang family. Call Old Jiang and have him make his son return her to the training base immediately.” Wen Xin didn’t issue any threats or make demands. She just wanted Tan Xingyue back safely.
Wen Huai wanted to ask what had happened but sensed Wen Xin’s urgency and knew she wouldn’t explain. He agreed without hesitation. “Okay, sis. I’ll call Old Jiang now.”
Wen Huai never delayed when following Wen Xin’s orders. He hung up and dialed Old Jiang. The call connected quickly, and a kind voice came through.
Old Jiang was surprised to hear from Wen Huai.
“Little Wen Huai, what a surprise! How’s military training? Adjusting well?”
“Godfather, I don’t have time for small talk. I need a favor. My friend was taken to Tianlang Base by your son. Could you have him return my friend, Tan Xingyue, to the training base?”
Wen Huai’s tone was direct. He had no fondness for Jiang’s son.
“What? Desheng took your friend? Why? There must be a misunderstanding.”
Old Jiang couldn’t believe his son would do such a thing and wanted to know more from Wen Huai.
“Godfather, I don’t know all the details, but I’m sure my friend was taken to Tianlang Base. She’s an important friend of my sister.” Wen Huai’s tone was urgent but respectful.
“Your sister’s friend? A girl, right? I’ll call Desheng now and find out what happened. I’ll make sure she’s sent back right away.”
Upon learning that the person taken was Wen Xin’s friend, Old Jiang became very concerned. He knew he had to resolve this quickly.
Old Jiang hung up and immediately called Jiang Desheng to inquire about the situation.
When Jiang Desheng answered his father’s call, he felt annoyed, suspecting that Ou Jinzhi had complained to his father.
“Dad, I did bring someone back from Ou Jinzhi’s place, but you don’t need to get involved. That girl dared to hit Linfei. I won’t just punish her; I’ll go after her family too!”
Jiang Desheng had been furious since Jiang Linfei called him in tears, especially after learning that Ou Jinzhi had sided with the girl and scolded Jiang Linfei. He felt he needed to teach Ou Jinzhi a lesson.
His wife had warned him about Ou Jinzhi’s rebellious nature before, but he hadn’t taken it seriously. Now, he felt it was time to consider curbing Ou Jinzhi’s influence. After all, how could Jinzhi have his current position just relying on the Ou Clan’s strength?
“Ridiculous. Let the girls settle their own disputes. Abusing your power like this is unacceptable. Do you even know your daughter’s character? Did you find out what started this?” Old Jiang scolded, irritated by his son’s actions.
