The guards outside the door were discussing the man tied to the interrogation chair. They were filled with awe, having never seen anyone endure so much.
No matter how cruel the torture, his resolve remained unshaken. It was terrifying.
What they didn’t know was that the man inside had already regained consciousness. His only thought was to survive and get out. His little ancestor was still waiting for him at home.
“Open the door. Is the person inside awake? The effects of the paralyzing drugs are wearing off. The Second Young Master asked me to give him another injection.”
The two guards looked suspiciously at a man in a white doctor’s coat approaching. It was the first time they’d heard of anyone coming to give the prisoner an injection.
Still, it made sense. Without the injection, it would be hard to keep such a powerful man restrained.
The two guards exchanged glances. One took out a key and slowly opened the iron door, leaving just a small gap.
“Be careful. The person inside is very agitated and might do something drastic. Watch out.”
As they spoke to the doctor, they couldn’t help but glance inside at the man.
The man in the white coat carried his medical kit into the dim room, frowning at the strong smell of blood.
He walked quietly to Mu Chengxi’s side, frowning at his wounds before crouching in front of him and speaking in a low, tense voice.
“You are Mu Chengxi, right? I’m here to check on you. I can’t get you out right now, but once I confirm your location, people outside can rescue you.”
“The chairman asked me to tell you to stay alive for Wen Xin.”
At the mention of Wen Xin’s name, Mu Chengxi’s closed eyes snapped open, filled with doubt and fierceness. These people dared to mention Wen Xin—they weren’t afraid he’d go berserk and take them all down with him?
Seeing Mu Chengxi’s reaction, the man knew his words had worked.
“Don’t look at me like that. We’re your only hope. You must believe us if you want a chance to escape. Hold on a bit longer. As soon as the chairman is free, he’ll come to rescue you.”
The man took out a syringe from his medical kit and injected the contents into the IV line attached to Mu Chengxi’s hand.
“This is the latest nutrient solution from the Independent State. It will help your recovery, but you must pretend. Don’t let them know your strength is returning. Wait for the right moment.”
“Hey, what are you doing in there? How long does it take to give an injection? Hurry up!”
The guards outside, seeing the doctor had finished the injection, started urging him to leave, worried about any accidents.
“Coming, coming. It’s almost done!”
The doctor hurriedly put the used syringe back in his kit and quickly left the dark room.
After the doctor left, Mu Chengxi closed his cold eyes slowly. His hands, bound to the chair, clenched slightly. He felt his strength gradually returning. It seemed the man hadn’t lied.
Wen Xin, sitting on the sofa without eating or drinking, worried both Chu Yunxuan and the old Countess. From the moment Wen Xin arrived, the old Countess had asked the butler to prepare food, but Wen Xin had declined, saying she wasn’t hungry.
“If you won’t eat, at least drink some water. You’re making everyone worry.” Chu Yunxuan placed a glass of lemon water in Wen Xin’s hand, gently urging her to drink.
Wen Xin mechanically took a sip, her gaze unfocused as she looked at Chu Yunxuan. “Is there any news yet?”
She had been waiting here for over three hours with no news, not even about the cargo ship’s usage records.
If this continued, she would take matters into her own hands. The delay wasn’t just wasting her time but risking Mu Chengxi’s life. She couldn’t wait any longer.
“There’s news, there’s news!”
A man in black hurried in, holding a paper list.
“Miss, we found out about the cargo ship. The person who used it during that time was the Second Young Master of the Jason family.”
With this news, light returned to Wen Xin’s eyes. She sprang up from the sofa. “Where is the Second Young Master? Take me to him.”
“Miss, don’t be hasty. The Earl has already arranged an investigation. After the Jason family’s bombing, the Second Young Master has had no fixed residence. He’s always been cunning. If we act rashly, it might endanger Mr. Mu.”
Wen Xin had heard enough about waiting. She had no patience left.
“Wait? How much longer? It’s been over three hours. If we wait any longer, he’ll be dead!”
Wen Xin’s emotions broke down instantly. She had been tirelessly searching for clues, and now that she knew Mu Chengxi was in the Independent State, she was still being told to wait.
Chu Yunxuan, seeing Wen Xin’s agitation, approached and held her hand. “Wen Xin, you…”
“Don’t try to persuade me. If it were Mu Nan in danger, could you wait? He…”
At that moment, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly vibrated. Annoyed, she pulled it from her pocket and saw Alfredo’s name on the screen. She was about to hang up.
Chu Yunxuan grabbed her wrist, gently advising her. “Don’t be so quick to hang up. Maybe he knows something. Don’t forget, the Independent State is under his control.”
Chu Yunxuan’s words made Wen Xin pause. She looked at Chu Yunxuan, who nodded seriously.
“Maybe he has some insider information. It’s better than us sitting here, frustrated. Calm down and see if you can get something out of him.”
The phone in Wen Xin’s hand stopped vibrating. She looked at the phone and then at Chu Yunxuan. “Should I call him back?”
“Wait a minute. If he doesn’t call back within three minutes, then you call him. You must stay calm. Don’t let him think he has control over you. Calmly get information out of him.”
Chu Yunxuan gently pulled Wen Xin to sit back down on the sofa, handing her the glass of water. “Drink some water and calm down. Wait a bit…”
