A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 819 - : Ambitions Slowly Surface, No Longer Wanting to Be Controlled
Chapter 820: Chapter 819: Ambitions Slowly Surface, No Longer Wanting to Be Controlled
After the Old Fox hung up the video call, Wen Yunuo, irritated, swept everything off his desk onto the floor, having long grown weary of the Old Fox’s control and distrust.
After calming down for a moment, Wen Yunuo stood up from his chair, picked up his phone that he had thrown onto the floor, and dialed an unfamiliar number.
The call was answered after just one ring, but no sound came through.
“I am willing to cooperate with you, I just want control of Independent State.”
Wen Yunuo’s voice was somewhat agitated, as if he had made a significant decision to cooperate with the person on the other line.
The other side did not respond to Wen Yunuo for a while, and just as Wen Yunuo was about to lose his patience, suddenly a mechanical voice sounded.
“You have quite the ambition, but I like your candor. However, I can only give you half the control over Independent State. As for the rest, it depends on how much you contribute to me!”
“Do you need me to do anything for you?” How could the other person not understand Wen Yunuo’s thinking? Didn’t he turn to him just to get his practical help?
“I want the Old Fox’s life… Just agree to this, and I promise to follow your arrangements!”
“The Old Fox’s life? He is your grandfather, taking Independent State from his hands would be much easier than from mine. Why would you distrust him and trust me instead?”
The mechanical voice carried no warmth, but every word it spoke struck Wen Yunuo’s heart, leaving him completely unsure how to respond.
As Wen Yunuo hesitated, the harsh mechanical voice spoke again: “You’re hesitating. Think it over and then come find me. I’ll only give you one chance to make a request; if you miss it, don’t blame me!”
After speaking, the person on the other end hung up without waiting for Wen Yunuo to reply, a move that panicked Wen Yunuo. He thought he had responded too late and had already made the person lose their patience.
Wen Yunuo stared at his phone, standing motionless for a long time before he returned to his office chair and sat down, then dialed Xiao Ci’s number.
“What are you doing rushing over here in such a hurry? Just come in.”
Having said that, Wen Yunuo hung up the phone and lazily lay back in his office chair to wait for Xiao Ci to come in from outside.
After receiving Wen Yunuo’s call, Xiao Ci quickly put down his work and hurried to Wen Yunuo’s office.
When Xiao Ci entered Wen Yunuo’s office, he was shocked by the scene before him; the mess all over the floor made it hard for Xiao Ci to comprehend what had just happened.
“Young Master Wen… this…”
“This isn’t important. What’s important is what you were about to say when you burst into my office?” Wen Yunuo raised his hand to rub his brow. He had been in a good mood this morning; he hadn’t expected Old Man Wen to spoil it.
Seeing Wen Yunuo’s frustrated demeanor, Xiao Ci didn’t dare say anything trivial and directly spoke what he had intended to say earlier.
“Young Master Wen, Jiang Linyan has disappeared. Moreover, it is confirmed that she vanished right after leaving our company yesterday. I have already contacted the Jiang family, but there’s absolutely no news about Jiang Linyan.”
Hearing Xiao Ci say that Jiang Linyan had disappeared, Wen Yunuo’s eyes snapped open in disbelief, not shock. He couldn’t believe that someone would target Jiang Linyan.
“Find out, alive or dead, don’t let her fall into Mu Chengxi’s hands. If Mu Chengxi finds out, we’ll be in trouble.”
In that moment, Wen Yunuo suddenly panicked. His plan had not yet succeeded; if Mu Chengxi learned that it was he who made Jiang Linyan act, then he would have no ground left for resistance.
At that moment, Jiang Linyan was confined in a black room, unaware of her location or how long she had been there. She only knew that she had woken up here.
“Someone, let me out, let me out!”
Jiang Linyan staggered from the bed to the door, banging on it with all her might, hoping someone would hear her cries and let her out.
“Someone! Help! Let me out, let me out!”
After shouting a few times, Jiang Linyan lay exhausted on the floor, feeling a wave of dizziness that made her feel like she was about to faint.
“Someone… help… let me out… let me out…”
Her cries grew weaker and weaker until, after an unknown amount of time, the room fell silent; Jiang Linyan lay weakly on the ground, unable to make a sound.
…
Wen Xin sat on the bed drinking the pumpkin porridge Mu Chengxi fed her, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Why won’t you let me go see Chu Yunxuan? I’m much better now, there’s nothing wrong, you aren’t planning to keep me in bed for another half-month, are you?”
Wen Xin gently pushed away the porridge by her lips, unwilling to eat. She was very agitated and worried about Chu Yunxuan’s situation.
“Hasn’t Sun Ning already said? Chu Yunxuan’s condition has improved a lot, and it won’t be long before she can leave the ICU. You just need to rest for a couple more days before you can get out of bed.”
Mu Chengxi coaxed Wen Xin in a low voice, looking at her pale face, he was genuinely scared to let her move around at will…
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, sighed helplessly, and opened her mouth, “Feed me then. If you won’t let me go down, then I won’t. I’ll eat well and sleep properly.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Unable to argue with Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin simply decided to rest flat, heal up quickly, and do what she wanted later on.
“Master Xi…” Mu Bei walked into the ward and saw Mu Chengxi feeding Wen Xin. He stopped mid-sentence.
Wen Xin raised her head to look at Mu Bei, her eyebrows slightly raised, “Why stop in the middle of speaking?”
“Nothing; I’m just surprised at how quickly Miss Wen is recovering. Young Master Qian just called me, saying that Old Man Qian Cai wanted to visit you in the hospital, at your convenience.”
Mu Bei walked up to Wen Xin very respectfully, but his facial expression didn’t look quite natural.
Having associated with Mu Bei for so long, Wen Xin could easily tell whether what he said was true or false. Clearly, Mu Bei was now playing games with her.
“Mu Bei, I really don’t know whether to say you’re getting smarter or more cunning, daring to play games with me. Great!”
Wen Xin took a tissue from Mu Chengxi to wipe some porridge from her lips, smiled faintly, her bright eyes flashing a hint of danger.
“Miss Wen, I… I didn’t dare…”
Feeling seen through by Wen Xin, Mu Bei became nervous. He hurriedly tried to explain, but didn’t know where to start.
