A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Chapter 635: Master Xi Takes the Blame

“Have you noticed that when Mistress Xin smiles, there’s a beauty that could overthrow realms?”

“Mistress Xin is also extremely beautiful when she’s not smiling. That graceful yet roguish demeanor is captured so perfectly, leaving no chance for men to resist!”

“Isn’t that the truth? I remember the first time I saw Mistress Xin, I simply couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was the first person I had ever seen who managed to balance wildness and fierceness so well, something I had never encountered before.”

The people around were discussing Wen Xin one after another, while Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan seemed to be completely oblivious, softly chatting with subdued voices.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up, already guessing who might be calling, stood up, and found a relatively quiet place to answer the call.

Before Wen Xin could speak, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Where did you go? The butler said you and your sister went out by car.”

“We went out for a midnight snack. I’ll drive back soon, so don’t worry about me,” Wen Xin responded in a gentle tone to Mu Chengxi’s concern.

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, the worry and impatience in Mu Chengxi’s heart instantly vanished, and he spoke again, his tone softer and more relaxed.

“Did you drink any alcohol? Do you need someone to pick you up?”

“No need. I didn’t drink, and we’ll be back soon.”

The noise around her was too chaotic. Wen Xin didn’t have time to explain much. She just wanted to end the call quickly. Anything else could wait until she got back.

Sensing Wen Xin’s impatience, Mu Chengxu didn’t say much more, merely giving a few casual instructions before ending the call.

Mu Bei, standing beside Mu Chengxi and watching his expression of amused tolerance, couldn’t help but ask softly, “Master Xi, what is Miss Wen doing? Do you need me to send someone to pick her up?”

“No need. She went out with my sister, and nothing should go wrong. Both of them have discreet protection; there won’t be any accidents.”

After saying this, Mu Chengxi raised his hand to rub his forehead. “The conference in F State will end tomorrow. After that, Mu Dong and Gu Yanzhe can come back.”

“Yes, I will notify them shortly. Is there anything else you need me to arrange, Master Xi?” Sensing the unsettled mood of Mu Chengxi, Mu Bei didn’t dare to assume his thoughts and directly expressed his own concerns.

“That’s it. You can go rest now.”

In the study, Mu Chengxi waved his hand dismissively at Mu Bei, but his brows remained tightly furrowed, suggesting he was troubled by something.

No sooner had Mu Bei left Mu Chengxi’s study than Mu Chengxi’s phone rang. It was a call from Ou Jinzhi.

Upon answering the call, Ou Jinzhi began excitedly: “Brother, you were quick with your actions! You didn’t give me any time to react, and now, you’ve really stirred up a big mess. Suddenly, a lot of people started behaving properly.”

Ou Jinzhi’s tone was filled with excitement, as if this outcome was unexpected. The evidence he had was enough to force Old Jiang to take a break at home, but this time, the implications seemed far beyond a simple rest at home.

Listening to Ou Jinzhi’s excited tone, Mu Chengxi let out a helpless light laugh. If he had been behind this matter, it wouldn’t have become so complicated.

Mu Chengxi didn’t explain, only responding indifferently, “This issue does seem to have blown up quite a bit, but if I say I didn’t do it, I wonder if you would believe me.”

“It wasn’t you?” Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Ou Jinzhi’s tone unconsciously carried a hint of surprise. It was simply inconceivable. They couldn’t imagine anyone besides Mu Chengxi could have had access to someone holding such core data.

“This really wasn’t me.” Mu Chengxi knew that no one would believe him when he said it, he sighed helplessly.

He was not surprised by the speculation from the outside world. After seeing the evidence Wen Xin provided to Uncle Zhao, he knew that he would be the first person everyone suspected.

“This matter can only be dealt with according to judicial procedures now, so who did it doesn’t matter anymore? We’ve achieved our objective, haven’t we?”

“You’re right. Speaking of this matter feels exhilarating. You have no idea how excited they were; someone finally took action to resolve this complex issue.”

At this point, Ou Jinzhi gave a mysterious smile. His crafty laughter carried over from the other end of the receiver.

“No matter who did this, but Master Xi, you’re definitely going to take the fall for this! There probably won’t be any chance for a reversal.”

Given Mu Chengxi’s position in Beijing, he was undoubtedly unshakable. After this incident, those people would likely be even more wary of Mu Chengxi; nobody wanted to offend someone who acted without regard for the consequences yet was untouchable.

“I’m not the only one who could take the fall for this.” Mu Chengxi said, with a mysterious smile.

The cold laughter made Ou Jinzhi’s scalp tingle unconsciously, always feeling that something dangerous was about to happen.

“You are Old Jiang’s son-in-law, and you must know a lot about Jiang Desheng’s affairs. You so righteously reporting your own father-in-law is truly a case of justice over family!”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi leaned lazily against the back of his wheelchair, his face wearing a contented smile, very pleased with himself for successfully finding a scapegoat.

“Master Xi, if I say I was wrong, is it too late?” Ou Jinzhi spoke in despair, feeling that Mu Chengxi was right, and everything he said was logical.

If he hadn’t been arrested and interrogated together with others, he definitely would have been the prime suspect in this case.

“Forget it, soon no one will be curious about who did this, but the price cuts this time will definitely not be as significant as before. You should prepare yourself mentally, there might be a period of ostracism. Can you handle it?”

“Ostracism? That’s unlikely. Although I’m not one of your people, Mu Chengxi, I have my own influence here. Don’t worry, even without Jiang Desheng, Old Master Jiang wouldn’t let Tianlang fall into others’ hands.”

“When the time comes, the leader of Tianlang will have to be me. Our goal is now one step closer, right?”

Ou Jinzhi took a moment to analyze the pros and cons. When he was arrested, he had already been wondering about his likely fate.

Later, he knew he could come out unscathed not only because of his grandfather and father but also because of Old Master Jiang, which made him even more certain that Tianlang would be his.
