A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 740: Chapter 739: Prejudice Affects Judgment, Anger Blinds the Eyes
“Forget it, for now, just deodorize Miss Wen and Master Xi’s luggage and send it upstairs, lest he gets upset again, which would lead to more than just a minor issue!”

Mu Bei, hearing Mu Dong’s words, felt a bitter sentiment he couldn’t easily express. He had already been implicated by Muxi at the airport and was still clueless about what Miss Wen would do tomorrow. It was really… too difficult for him…

After sending the luggage upstairs, Mu Bei quietly entered the kitchen and instructed the chef. He had the chef prepare the essential meals needed for the journey tomorrow, thinking hard, he informed the chef of all the food Wen Xin liked, to cater for unexpected needs along the way.

After taking a shower, Mu Chengxi prepared nightwear for Wen Xin before leaving the room, specifically instructing a maid to prepare a cup of milk for Wen Xin and have it sent back to the bedroom.

Having made all the arrangements clear, Mu Chengxi entered the Council Hall with a stern face, his previous tenderness completely gone.

When Mu Chengxi stepped into the Council Hall, everyone was already seated, waiting for his arrival. As he walked to the main seat, his icy gaze swept over Muxi, sending a chill down Muxi’s spine.

After Mu Chengxi sat in the main seat, Muxi and Mu Dong stood up and began to report the recent incidents to Mu Chengxi, discussing the upcoming plans as well.

When Muxi mentioned they would pick up goods the next day, Mu Chengxi suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him.

“Wait a second, add one more person for tomorrow’s pickup. Wen Xin also wants to join you, replace Mu Dong with Mu Bei…”

Upon Mu Chengxi’s words, Muxi instantly became unsettled, looking at Mu Chengxi with wide eyes, though his tone remained respectful.

“Master Xi, you well know how many people are eyeing tomorrow’s shipment, and bringing a woman along undoubtedly increases the risk significantly…”

Muxi hadn’t finished speaking when Mu Chengxi threw his phone onto the table, making the already quiet Council Hall even quieter. Even the furious Muxi calmed down immediately.

He stepped back, bowing his head respectfully towards Mu Chengxi, lips tightly sealed, saying nothing.

Mu Chengxi, looking at Muxi, lifted the corners of his mouth into a cold smile, “What? Do my words no longer hold weight? Or do you need me to repeat myself?”

“I’m sorry, Master Xi. I’ll arrange it right away!” Muxi, realizing Mu Chengxi was truly angered, didn’t dare say anything else that might upset Mu Chengxi.

“Wen Xin has Mu Bei to take care of her; you don’t need to make arrangements. She’s just going to tag along with you.” After saying this, Mu Chengxi stood up and picked up the phone he had thrown on the table.

“If there’s anything else, come find me in my study. If not, disperse and go rest!”

With that, Mu Chengxi stood up and left the Council Hall, the others following his steps out, leaving only Muxi and Mu Dong in the hall.

Mu Dong, looking at Muxi, narrowed his handsome eyes slightly, “You’re too prejudiced against Miss Wen…”

“Mu Dong… is it my prejudice against Wen Xin too great or has Master Xi been blinded by her? Is he now willing to compromise without limits just to please her? Going to the Southern Territory for a deal is a dangerous affair, how can she just go as she pleases?”

“Moreover, you also know, this trip to the Southern Territory isn’t just a simple business deal, there’s also an arms transaction involved. I don’t understand what Master Xi is thinking!”

Muxi angrily slammed his hand on the table, and a corner of the table instantly broke off, clearly indicating Muxi’s dissatisfaction.

Mu Dong looked at Muxi’s actions, sighed helplessly, and initially wanted to explain to Muxi about Wen Xin’s relation with Project 26. However, seeing Muxi’s unyielding attitude, he instantly lost the desire to explain.

“No matter how dissatisfied you are with Miss Wen, this time I hope you can control your temper. Master Xi is very serious about Miss Wen. If anything were to happen to her, you wouldn’t be able to withstand Master Xi’s wrath!”

Mu Dong’s advice to Muxi ended there; he knew that the more he said, the more Muxi would resent it. Thus, Mu Dong simply decided to let him discover Wen Xin’s treasures on his own, hoping that would make Muxi act wisely.

Mu Dong’s advice was useless for Muxi, who just gave Mu Dong a cold look, his impatience clearly reflected in his eyes.

“I’ll go to the Force Hall to find a few men to protect that woman on the road, to prevent anything from happening to her. That way, Master Xi won’t blame it on me.”

Having said that, Muxi stormed out of the Council Hall, and Mu Dong, sitting in his original spot, sighed helplessly. He only hoped that Muxi wouldn’t be too harsh on Wen Xin, because even he might not be able to protect Muxi then.

Mu Dong lingered in his seat for awhile, then slowly stood up and walked toward the villa where Mu Chengxi was staying.

When Mu Dong arrived at the entrance of Mu Chengxi’s study, he gently knocked on the door, from which a cold voice came, “Come in…”

Mu Dong opened the door to Mu Chengxi’s study to see Wen Xin sitting at the desk, busying herself with something on the computer, while Mu Chengxi lounged on the sofa, handling emails on a tablet.

After Mu Dong entered the study, Mu Chengxi looked up from the tablet towards him.

“What’s the matter? Is Muxi still not compliant?”

“No, he went to the Force Hall to arrange for the people accompanying us tomorrow. He specifically arranged for some to protect Miss Wen.”

Mu Dong observed Mu Chengxi’s indifferent and seemingly unconcerned demeanor and couldn’t make out what he was thinking.

“Hmm, come to Dongzhou with me tomorrow…” Mu Chengxi responded indifferently to Mu Dong’s words and then briefed him on tomorrow’s arrangements. As for Wen Xin going out with Muxi, he seemed not to care at all.

“Master Xi, about… Miss Wen and Muxi…”

Mu Dong, having heard Mu Chengxi’s arrangements, couldn’t help but still worry about Wen Xin, knowing Muxi’s temper and fearing possible mishaps.

Mu Chengxi looked at Mu Dong’s anxious expression and smiled lightly, “I’m not worried, so why are you anxious? I know Muxi’s character well; once beaten, he’ll comply. If not beaten, he’ll never comply!”

Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Mu Dong showed a look of disbelief, as the implications of Mu Chengxi’s words suggested that he expected Wen Xin to personally tame Muxi…

“Master Xi, this…”

“Never mind that. I’ve already updated the cybersecurity system of your estate. Remember to pay a royalty fee to Di Ting Organization, as they’re quite poor and need to make money through technology!”
