Chapter 981: Chapter 979: It’s Important Whether They’re Foe or Friend

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s retreating back and smiled affectionately and tenderly before stepping forward and walking over to Feng Qing, then he turned his head and glanced at Moore who was standing by and watching them.

“May I borrow a study to discuss some matters…”

Moore, who was looking down at his phone, heard Mu Chengxi’s words, looked up at him, and pointed to a room not far away with his finger.

“That study will do.” After Moore spoke, he watched Mu Chengxi and Feng Qing walk towards the study, one after the other.

Upon hearing the study door close, Moore immediately stood up from the sofa and ran towards the direction of the dining room.

Wen Xin, who was eating, lifted her head and gave Moore a nonchalant glance, then continued eating without any reaction.

“Hey, little princess, what’s the deal with your man? He knows Feng Qing? And it seems their relationship isn’t simple, do you know what their relationship is?”

Hearing Moore’s excited words, Wen Xin put down her chopsticks, looked up at Moore, and slightly raised her eyebrows, exuding an inscrutable attitude.

“Don’t look at me like that! Do you even know what’s going on?”

Wen Xin withdrew her gaze from Moore, lowered her head, and continued to eat, speaking in a calm voice, “You first tell me about Feng Qing…”

Moore was shocked by Wen Xin’s words, he couldn’t believe that Wen Xin didn’t know Feng Qing.

“No way, princess, you don’t know Feng Qing? Feng Qing is the heir of the Feng Family, I’m not sure how he rose to power, but he appeared out of nowhere in the Independent State, and then the First Elder and the others directly brought him into the Elders Guild. I’m not quite sure of the specifics of how he positioned himself.”

Moore knew that Feng Qing’s identity was not simple, he had tried to investigate Feng Qing’s background but could never find any solid leads.

Wen Xin finished her last xiaolongbao, placed her chopsticks on the dining table, and slouched back in her chair, “I don’t know Feng Qing either, just like you, I only know he’s part of the Elders Guild. Why don’t you just wait for Mu Chengxi to come out and ask him directly?”

Wen Xin’s indifferent attitude left Moore somewhat speechless; he scrutinized her expression, wanting to know if she truly didn’t care about the matter.

“Princess, do you seriously not care about this? Don’t you find it abnormal? Mu Chengxi actually knows such a person? Aren’t you a bit too laid-back?”

Moore was somewhat agitated, feeling that Wen Xin was taking things too lightly. Didn’t she have any curiosity about such matters? Why was she so indifferent?

Wen Xin, seeing Moore getting worked up, smiled faintly, her fingers lightly tapping on the table.

“Even if I wanted to know now, I’d have to wait for Mu Chengxi to come out. What’s the use of your being anxious here? After all, all you need to believe is that Mu Chengxi won’t harm me.”

Wen Xin stood up from the dining table and gave Moore a look, signaling with her eyes, “If you’re really that curious, I’ll take you to ask them what’s going on.”

“Forget it, if you aren’t curious, why should I be? I just think the two of them are the kind that have absolutely no connection, and it’s impossible for them to be linked.”

Moore followed behind Wen Xin as they walked out of the dining room, his demeanor now completely calm, the curiosity he had just exhibited now nowhere to be seen.

Chu Yunxuan sat on the sofa, looking at Moore, who was following behind Wen Xin with a not very high spirit, and guessed that Moore must have not learned what he wanted to know from Wen Xin’there was nothing about this that surprised her in the least.

Just then, the butler hurriedly entered from outside; he went up to Moore, lowered his voice, and said, “The Jason family has sent out word that the Second Elder went to the Wen family yesterday and hasn’t come out since. Now everyone is looking for the Second Elder’s whereabouts.”

“What? The Jason family says the Second Elder is missing?” Moore was somewhat surprised upon hearing the butler’s words. It was beyond him how, with the Elders Guild meeting coming up so soon, the Second Elder could have disappeared.

“Yes, that’s the message that’s been circulating. People have already gone to the Wen family to inquire about the Second Elder,” the butler said, inadvertently glancing at Wen Xin, suddenly very curious about her attitude.

Wen Xin sat on the sofa, looking at her phone that had already received news of the Second Elder’s disappearance. She looked at the phone with a detached expression as if she had already guessed the intrigue behind the news.

“What’s there to look for? It’s simply a matter of not having settled terms with the old fox. After the Elders Guild issue is resolved, the Second Elder will return to the Jason family. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Wen Xin’s tone was calm as she spoke, devoid of any emotional fluctuation; to her, the Jason family was also one she wanted to eliminate. They had once made a move against Mu Chengxi, and the only reason she hadn’t wiped them out was that it was inconvenient at the time.

But now, the situation was different, and she wouldn’t let a single one of them off.

“Yesterday at the Wen family, the Second Elder and the old fox clashed over the Elders Guild issue. The Second Elder disagreed with holding a re-election for the Elders Guild, worried that his family might be kicked out.”

“The old fox wanted to arrange for his youngest son to enter the Elders Guild… What happened after that, I’m not sure. I left the Wen family straight away.”

While everyone was still discussing the matter, Feng Qing and Mu Chengxi came out of the study. He spoke in a low voice, explaining what had happened with them at the Wen family yesterday.

“Last night, the old fox called all of us from the Elders Guild to the Wen family, specially detailing the re-election of the Elders Guild and emphasizing that his youngest son will also be participating in this election… I can’t understand why a pianist wants to return to the Independent State to compete for a seat in the Elders Guild.”

As Feng Qing spoke, he shifted his gaze to Wen Xin, who was also looking at him at that moment. She too wanted to know what role and identity Feng Qing had in the Independent State.

“Shouldn’t you explain your identity to me? Are you Mu Chengxi’s man, or… someone who cooperates with Mu Chengxi?”

Wen Xin asked in a mild voice before everyone present, all of whom were her most trusted subordinates’there was no need for any defenses. Whether friend or foe, it only took a word from him.

Feng Qing did not expect Wen Xin to question him so bluntly. He turned his head to look at Mu Chengxi, seeking his opinion.

As if Mu Chengxi had not seen the look from Feng Qing, he walked over to Wen Xin, sat down beside her, gently encircled Wen Xin in his arms, and whispered to her, “We’re all on the same side; he was also developing in F State before…”
