Chapter 920: Chapter 918: Just Go Ahead, I’m Willing to Take Care of the Consequences for You
“Sending him out of the country won’t help much, as the entire capital already knows what your brother has done, and there’s no chance for him to hide anymore. Now, your brother’s situation looks most grim. Everyone should start considering the next steps and prepare for the worst!”
Madam Jiang had lost all hope for treating Jiang Desheng, thinking he could truly stir up trouble in the Mu family.
But after waiting a night, not only did she not receive any scandal from the Mu family, but she was greeted with Jiang Desheng’s scandal, which was deeply disappointing to her.
Now, the Jiang family had become the capital’s biggest joke, and Jiang Desheng’s scandal had reached a point where it could no longer be covered up. It was truly too embarrassing.
After Madam Jiang finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They were completely powerless to counter Madam Jiang’s words and had to admit that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what she said.
“So… the reason sister-in-law called us back is to deal with my brother’s funeral affairs?”
Jiang Dewei couldn’t comprehend Madam Jiang’s thoughts. He felt that Madam Jiang’s effort to keep Jiang Desheng alive was the right choice, but this hasty push toward his death was something they had never anticipated, and this idea was simply too incredible.
“You could say that. I am now alone and unsupported in the Jiang family. The Old Master never gave me any real authority while he was alive. Now that the Old Master has passed and your brother has gotten into trouble, I can only rely on you to help me make decisions.”
“That’s the situation with the Jiang family now. Whatever you say or do, I am willing to listen to you, just go ahead and arrange it.”
As Madam Jiang’s voice fell, several doctors and nurses quickly entered the ICU. Everyone exchanged looks, not daring to think about what had happened inside the ICU.
“It couldn’t be the eldest brother… Did something happen to him?”
Hearing Jiang Dewei’s words, Madam Jiang abruptly stood up from the bench, grabbed one of the nurses, and asked anxiously.
“What’s going on inside? Is it a patient named Jiang? I want to see him…”
“Ma’am, please calm down. We need to attend to the patient inside. The person inside is not Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang’s condition is stable. You don’t have to worry.”
With that, the nurse pushed Madam Jiang’s hand away, carrying a tray of medications and hurried into the ICU…
After this minor episode, the atmosphere in the corridor turned even more somber. Some people, seeing that the matter had little to do with them, surreptitiously left, while those who stayed did so out of their reliance on the Jiang family, unable to fully detach themselves.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Madam Jiang heard that it wasn’t Jiang Desheng who was in trouble, she rubbed her somewhat aching temples, leaned on a bench, and slowly sat down.
“I really am powerless now, I can only depend on you to decide for Jiang Desheng!”
Madam Jiang hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly rolled her eyes back and collapsed backward…
At that moment, chaos erupted in the hallway again…
While Ling Yichen was bringing Nan Xu for a consultation, he arrived just in time to witness this scene. He unconsciously took an extra glance, raised an eyebrow, wondering who could have been responsible. Although the methods were harsh, it was really impressive.
Still, it was a pity that Jiang Desheng didn’t get to witness his own munitions factory going bankrupt. It was truly a shame.
Mu Chengxi and his group were sitting on a plane back to Beijing, with Wen Xin leaning lazily against Mu Chengxi’s body, holding a tablet in her hands and occasionally frowning at the messages on it.
“What’s wrong? Did you run into some trouble?” Mu Chengxi noticed Wen Xin’s frowning and asked with some confusion. He didn’t know what Wen Xin was busy with and felt that she seemed quite unhappy.
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s question, Wen Xin lifted the tablet and placed it in front of Mu Chengxi.
“It’s this thing, can you understand it? It’s a blood report from Sun Ning,” she said.
Mu Chengxi looked at the report’s technical terms and shook his head, “I am not a medical student, how could I know about these things? Just tell me what’s going on.”
Mu Chengxi gently took Wen Xin’s lifted hand and let her place the tablet on her lap, worried that her movement would tire her out.
Wen Xin sat up from Mu Chengxi’s body and looked at him very seriously, “The biggest problem with this data is that there is no problem.”
At this point, Wen Xin lifted her eyebrow at Mu Chengxi, her eyes conveying a hint of helplessness.
“I understand my own situation of being poisoned. I can confirm that I have indeed been poisoned, but the drug is quite miraculous; currently, the machines in the Capital City Laboratory can’t analyze it at all.”
Wen Xin suddenly paused her speech here, a ruthless flash passing through her bright eyes.
“I’m thinking that it might not be long before I have to go back to Independent State. I think only Independent State can decode the toxin in my body.”
When Wen Xin mentioned the toxin, a glimpse of shock flashed in Mu Chengxi’s eyes, which quickly shifted to coldness.
“You mean to say that there is still toxin in your body? Then previously…”
“Previously… the previous manifestations were just one kind of symptom of the toxin. I can now confirm that the toxin in my body has not been cleared at all…”
Wen Xin hadn’t finished speaking when Mu Chengxi’s face darkened, his hands clenched tightly together on his lap.
“We should not have let Luo Qiete die so easily. If he were alive, we could have found the source of the poison and a solution! We’re going back to S city; perhaps we can find clues from Luo Qiete’s surroundings.”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s slightly reddened eyes and sighed softly, stretching her arms to embrace his neck and resting her forehead against his.
“It’s useless, even if he were alive and we found him, he would not know the method to detoxify, and might not even be aware of the virus’s harm. He was just being used by someone else!”
“Those people just want to force me to go back. So, I will go back. Now is the time to settle things with those people properly, and the revenge that should be taken should also be avenged.”
Wen Xin had previously been concerned about the people she wanted to protect, worried that they might get hurt while she was fighting her battle.
But now, she was fully prepared to face the challenge. She would take good care of those people and would not let go of anyone who had hurt her or her family.
Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin tightly in his arms, leaning in close to her ear, his voice soft, “You just need to let go and do what you want to do. I’ll support you if the sky falls; don’t be afraid. As long as I am here, I will protect you completely.”
