“Gunfire? Hearing gunfire in the Independent State is no surprise. This is North Cloud Top, where factions clash daily. What does it have to do with us?”

The two gatekeepers ignored the sounds outside.

In the Independent State, no one would dare provoke the Jason family. The Jason family was one of the old families in the Independent State. They didn’t believe anyone had the strength to challenge them.

“Our second young master has been here for years, and all those who come seeking death end up…”

Bang…

Before the gatekeeper could finish, a bullet hit him squarely between the eyes, causing him to collapse.

“Who are you?”

The other gatekeeper, his face spattered with blood, looked at Wen Xin and the two behind her in terror.

“We’re here to send you on your way. But I’ll give you a chance—open the door, and I’ll spare your life.”

Wen Xin could have taken out both men simultaneously, but she didn’t want to waste time breaking the lock. She needed one of them to open the door.

The terrified man panicked and tried to press the alarm button. Wen Xin, watching his movements coldly, gave a slight smile.

“You’d better call your master over. It’ll save me the trouble of looking for him.”

Ignoring the man’s actions, Wen Xin approached the security door, frowning as she tried to figure out how to open it.

“Boss, here are the keys.”

Wales, while searching the man on the ground, found a set of keys. He quickly stepped forward and tried to open the door with them.

At this moment, Chu Yunxuan noticed the terrified man reaching for a button on the wall. She swiftly kicked his hand away, pinned him to the ground with her knee, and restrained him with a firm grip.

“Even now, you’re playing tricks? Let me tell you, your master is doomed. If you cooperate, my boss will spare you. However, if you mess around, it won’t just be you—your family will suffer too!”

When Chu Yunxuan mentioned his family, the man’s face twisted in anger.

He feared that if the second young master found out he had opened the door for these people, his family would be harmed. But now these people were using his family to threaten him…

“The door lock needs a code, boss…”

Wales inserted the key but couldn’t unlock the security door as it required a code.

Wen Xin had little patience. She knew getting the code wouldn’t be easy. Squatting before the man, she gripped his chin with a cold expression.

“Look into my eyes. Tell me, what’s the code…”

“8953.”

The man, his vision blurring, blurted out the security door code.

With a click, the security door unlocked. Wen Xin took out a silver needle and immobilized the man pinned by Chu Yunxuan.

She stood up, walked quickly to the door, and Wales pulled it open, letting Wen Xin go in first.

Entering the dimly lit room, Wen Xin immediately sensed Mu Chengxi’s presence without needing light.

Wales turned on a flashlight, illuminating the room. Wen Xin saw Mu Chengxi, sitting upright in an interrogation chair, covered in blood.

Rushing to him, Wen Xin knelt gently, looking into his bloodstained yet bright eyes.

“Why did you come to such a place? It’s too dangerous!” Mu Chengxi’s voice was hoarse and weak.

“I came to take you home. I’m sorry I’m late. I made you wait too long.”

Wen Xin cupped Mu Chengxi’s bloody face with her hands and kissed his lips without hesitation. It was as if this was the only way she could truly confirm that she had found Mu Chengxi.

“Boss, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s get Mr. Mu out of here first,” Wales urged, glancing at Chu Yunxuan by the door. He knew getting Mu Chengxi out was the priority.

Wen Xin released Mu Chengxi, nodded, and stepped aside to let Wales remove his restraints.

Seeing the chains on Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. The Jason family no longer had any reason to exist.

With trembling hands, Wen Xin took out a thermos from her bag, offering Mu Chengxi some warm water.

“Drink some water, but not too much. I’ll take you to the hospital soon.”

As Wales freed Mu Chengxi’s arm, he grasped Wen Xin’s wrist, looking up at her with a gentle smile.

“Don’t worry, I won’t die…”

“You can’t die. You promised to marry me. You can’t die.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wen Xin shed a tear but quickly wiped it away, gently holding Mu Chengxi’s wrist and giving him water.

Mu Chengxi, parched, took a big gulp, the sweet taste easing his pain.

Wen Xin put away the thermos, took out some pills from her bag, her hands shaking, revealing her inner turmoil. She was terrified, fearing that if Mu Chengxi let go, he’d be gone.

“Take these pills and swallow them. Soon, you’ll feel better. Hold on, believe in me. I’ll take you home!”

She put the pills in Mu Chengxi’s mouth, then hugged him tightly, unable to hold back her fear any longer.

“Boss, let’s not waste time. We need to get Mr. Mu out of here. I’ll carry him.”

“You can’t carry him out. Find Moore and get an ambulance.”

Wen Xin, calming herself, released Mu Chengxi and watched him closely.

“All the outside threats are dealt with. The ambulance is on its way, about twenty minutes out. This area is hard to reach,” Moore said, entering with his men and overhearing Wen Xin’s words.
