“I’m really sorry. Seeing Young Master come to my little shop got me so excited that I forgot to invite Young Master and Miss Wen inside. Please, come in and see what you’d like to eat,” said Auntie Fu’s daughter-in-law as she led Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi into a private room, handing Wen Xin the menu.

“Miss Wen, our signature dumpling is the seafood Spanish mackerel dumpling. My mother-in-law mentioned you like seafood, so you should give it a try.”

After scanning the menu, Wen Xin ordered the signature dumpling and a cabbage pork dumpling, then handed the menu to Mu Chengxi.

Mu Chengxi, smiling gently, didn’t look at the menu and ordered a vinegar-pepper tofu dish.

Auntie Fu’s daughter-in-law left the room with a smile to prepare the food.

Left alone, Wen Xin played a game on her phone while Mu Chengxi read the news. Suddenly, he received a message from Mu Xi.

“Master Xi, Doll has appeared. It’s confirmed that the Independent State’s security system was made by Doll!”

Mu Chengxi frowned slightly, looking up at Wen Xin. “Do you know about the Independent State’s security system?”

Wen Xin had expected Mu Chengxi to ask about this. After all, the news about Doll creating the system had spread worldwide, making it hard for Mu Chengxi to miss.

“Yes, I found Doll through Truth Listener. Why?” Wen Xin replied confidently, without looking up. She worried her eyes might give away her secret.

Mu Chengxi didn’t doubt Wen Xin’s words. He knew her computer skills were impressive but found it hard to connect her to Doll.

“Does this have anything to do with you? Do you know someone from Truth Listener?”

“Yes, Chou Alliance and Truth Listener have collaborated before. Truth Listener owed me a favor, so they helped me contact Doll. I traded a cybersecurity system to get Yuan Junye back,” Wen Xin explained, her game now over. Her determined gaze left no room for doubt.

Mentioning the Chou Alliance successfully diverted Mu Chengxi’s attention. He knew the Chou Alliance had been active in Pochinki recently. “Has the Chou Alliance been active in Pochinki because of you?”

Mu Chengxi was still rather curious about Wen Xin’s relationship with the Chou Alliance, but he had never directly asked her about it. He respected Wen Xin’s choice, and he would still let Wen Xin know when he wanted to.

“No, they don’t follow my orders anymore. As long as their actions don’t conflict with my interests, I don’t get involved,” Wen Xin replied.

She had joined the Chou Alliance to leverage their power to find the Shadow Alliance. Now, with rebels in the Chou Alliance, she preferred to stay low-profile.

Mu Chengxi nodded in approval. He didn’t want Wen Xin entangled in those conflicts. “Good. Stay away from these troubles. I’ll take care of everything. Just do what you love,” he said, ruffling her hair affectionately, relieved.

Wen Xin noted his relief and silently thanked herself for not revealing her identity as Doll, which would have made Mu Chengxi worry more.

Just then, Auntie Fu’s daughter-in-law returned with the food, her polite and respectful demeanor catching Wen Xin’s attention. It seemed a bit too exaggerated.

As they ate, Mu Bei hurried in with some desserts. Mu Chengxi appreciated his thoughtfulness and thought Mu Bei was getting better at doing things.

“Alright, let’s go,” Wen Xin said, putting down her chopsticks and wiping her mouth. Mu Chengxi took the desserts and car keys from Mu Bei, handing his keys to Mu Bei. “You take my car. No need to follow.”

“Yes, Master Xi,” Mu Bei replied respectfully, following them out of the restaurant.

On the way to the hospital, Mu Chengxi noticed they were being followed. The tailing was subtle but persistent. Wen Xin, looking up from her game, noticed the black MPV in the rearview mirror. “That car has been following us since the restaurant. Do you think something’s off?”

“Yes, they ran a red light to keep up,” Mu Chengxi replied, increasing speed to confirm their suspicion. As expected, the MPV behind them sped up as well. Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi confirmed their guesses.

“Let’s go to the hospital and see what they want,” Wen Xin said, her eyes bright with excitement.

Mu Chengxi glanced at Wen Xin, his temple throbbing. He was bemused by her unique hobby of enjoying confrontations.

Following Wen Xin’s suggestion, Mu Chengxi drove to the hospital. The black MPV followed them into the parking lot. Confirming they were being tailed, Wen Xin stayed in the car, waiting to see the next move.

Sitting lazily in the passenger seat, Wen Xin looked at the rearview mirror, her hand propping up her chin, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

“What do you plan to do?” Mu Chengxi asked, his voice tinged with helpless indulgence, not wanting to interrupt her excitement.
