Chapter 874: 872 Chapter Words That Pierce the Heart, Striking Right at the Core
 

The silver needles were removed, Wen Yunuo and Xiao Ci simultaneously let out a sigh of relief and abruptly stood up, their bodies stiff as they staggered towards the bathroom.

“Wen Xin, I’m telling you, I won’t let this go!”

Wen Xin looked at Wen Yunuo’s disheveled state and didn’t take his words to heart at all, but instead just offered a faint smile and sat down on the nearby sofa, appearing relaxed and comfortable, not taking the matter seriously.

About five minutes later, Wen Yunuo emerged from the bathroom and was slightly taken aback to see Wen Xin, still seated on the sofa and not having left.

“What? Why haven’t you left yet?”

“Of course, I’m going to leave, but I’m not in a hurry. I want to exchange some information with you,” Wen Xin said with a light chuckle while looking at Wen Yunuo, whose body was still stiff.

“If you’re going to be so insincere, I advise you to leave quickly!”

Because of Wen Xin’s method, he had already suffered, and Wen Yunuo was not a person with a good temper, so hearing Wen Xin’s laughter only made him feel more irritable, with no mood to respond to Wen Xin.

“Sorry, today was indeed my mistake. I intended to come over right after the funeral, but, you see, there were some unexpected events midway!”

Wen Xin reined in the smile on his face, becoming very sincere as he apologized to Wen Yunuo.

As expected, sincerity is a killer move. When Wen Xin offered his sincere apologies, strangely enough, much of the anger in Wen Yunuo’s heart had dissipated. He sat in a chair, kneading his own stiff muscles, his gaze dull as he looked at Wen Xin.

“Speak. What kind of information do you want to exchange with me?”

Now, Wen Yunuo really didn’t want to see Wen Xin. Every time he saw Wen Xin, he would remember the scene where Wen Xin effortlessly immobilized him, which was somewhat embarrassing.

“Do you know Wen Yuqing?”

Upon hearing the name Wen Yuqing, Wen Yunuo abruptly looked up, his excitement caused the desk to shake unintentionally.

“How do you know about this person’s existence?”

Wen Yunuo looked at Wen Xin in astonishment. In the Wen family, it was likely no one knew of Wen Yuqing. If it hadn’t been for that time he accidentally came across that person discussing matters with the Old Fox in the study, he probably wouldn’t have known about Wen Yuqing’s existence.

“Looking at your expression, you seem to know this person. Let me think, how should we address him, as the fourth brother?”

Wen Xin’s words caused Wen Yunuo’s originally shocked pupils to involuntarily dilate. He had not expected Wen Xin to even know Wen Yuqing’s ranking within the Wen family.

“How do you know about him? He’s the most mysterious person in the Wen family and also the Old Fox’s trump card!”

As Wen Yunuo spoke, his voice trembled involuntarily. It wasn’t fear of Wen Yuqing that he felt, but anger at the Old Fox. He had not expected that after doing so much, he still wouldn’t be the Old Fox’s choice.

“So, the Old Fox, when choosing between you and him, chose him and not you!”

Wen Xin’s words were somewhat heart-stabbing, but there was no doubt about it; the Old Fox really hadn’t considered choosing him in the end.

Wen Yunuo picked up a cigarette from the desk, lit one, and took a puff, then he sighed softly.

“Actually, I also discovered this person’s existence unintentionally. That’s when I knew the Old Fox still had a card up his sleeve. But to the Old Fox, whether it’s you, me, or Wen Yuqing, we’re all just his pawns.”

“To the Old Fox, only those who can create value for him are useful…”

Wen Yunuo said with an involuntary bitter smile. In fact, he had seen through it all long ago, it was just his reluctance speaking.

He turned his head to look at Wen Xin, his brows slightly raised, “You found out about Wen Yuqing from Xiao Mi, didn’t you?”

Wen Xin silently looked at Wen Yunuo. She didn’t want to involve Xiao Mi; she just wanted Xiao Mi to live a good life.

“People from the Independent State have already sent messages, asking everyone to watch Xiao Mi’s movements and find an opportunity to get rid of her.”

Seeing Wen Xin’s silent demeanor, Wen Yunuo smiled faintly, “I’ve also heard that she is the sister you found. Rest assured, since I’ve chosen to cooperate with you, I won’t touch anyone on your side, but you should also not expose your vulnerabilities too much.”

“Otherwise, even I might not be able to protect the people you want to protect.”

Wen Yunuo spoke very seriously. The Old Fox was a man who wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless with his own son, let alone someone who posed a threat to him, right?

Therefore, Wen Xin’s situation was not very safe, especially the people Wen Xin cared about.

Wen Xin raised her hand to massage her somewhat sore temples and stood up, “Since you know about Wen Yuqing, that’s enough. I don’t need to say more useless words, just be careful yourself!”

After she finished, Wen Xin turned and left without looking back toward the door.

Watching the direction Wen Xin had left in, Wen Yunuo knew she was seriously contemplating his words.

In fact, his words were not meant to alarm her unduly. Starting with Tan Xingyue, it was the Old Fox’s warning to Wen Xin. If Wen Xin remained unyielding, it was very likely that the Mu family would be the next target, and the most vulnerable person would be Old Madam Mu.

Wen Yunuo had also heard that Wen Xin was about to get engaged to Mu Chengxi. If something happened to Old Madam Mu at this time, Wen Xin would lose all her standing in the Mu family.

Wen Xin, having lost the support of the Mu family, would be an individual with no backing. At that time, the Old Fox would have free rein on how to treat Wen Xin.

On the flip side, by warning Wen Xin, he hoped she would know what she needed to do. He still wanted to work with Wen Xin to take on the Old Fox; he couldn’t bear to see the fruits of his many years of hard work fall into someone else’s hands.

Xiao Ci walked in from outside and saw Wen Yunuo sitting coldly in the office chair, deep in thought. He walked over to Wen Yunuo and placed a folder in front of him.

“Young Master, Ailin’s investment has arrived; should we inject the money into the project now? The Independent State has been pressuring us constantly; they might be struggling to cope.”

Upon hearing that the Independent State was about to falter, Wen Yunuo slowly lifted his head to look at Xiao Ci and let out a soft sigh.

“Is the Independent State that urgent?”

“Yes, very urgent. Moore has held back our goods, and if the funding is cut again, we might face even more troublesome issues. The old man has been urging us, asking you to quickly come up with a solution.”

Listening to Xiao Ci, Wen Yunuo suddenly laughed; he felt no rush anymore.

“Tell Grandfather that I’ve encountered a problem with the funding chain, and it may be impossible for the funds to reach the Independent State. He should figure something out himself. If he must wait for the funds from here, tell him to give me two days, and I will resolve it as soon as possible!”

Wen Yunuo seemed to have found a way to handle the Old Fox!
