Chapter 478: Teach Them a Lesson and Leave the Hotel

Chu Yunxuan couldn’t believe how two-faced those people were, so she decided to let them face the consequences.

Taking the pills Wen Xin gave her, Chu Yunxuan smiled happily and gave Wen Xin an OK sign before leaving the suite.

After Chu Yunxuan left, Wen Xin used her big mobile phone to hack into the hotel’s surveillance system and shut it down in five seconds.

Happy with her work, Wen Xin smiled. She didn’t want to cause trouble for Mu Chengxi; she just didn’t like how these people behaved. They might not like her, but that was too much.

Then, Wen Xin got a message from Mu Chengxi, asking if she had reached the estate and telling her she could ask Fernando if she needed anything.

Sitting on the sofa, Wen Xin read Mu Chengxi’s message and thought about how to reply.

Finally, she just answered, “Hmm, got it. I’m tired, going to sleep now. We can talk after I wake up.”

Knowing Wen Xin had a hard night, Mu Chengxi felt sorry for her and replied with an ‘I love you’ and didn’t disturb her anymore.

Five minutes later, Chu Yunxuan returned, clearly happy about how things went.

“Let’s go to our own place. I really can’t stand this awful hotel.”

Chu Yunxuan, carrying Wen Xin’s luggage, confidently led Wen Xin out of the hotel.

On the way back to Tian Shu Manor, Chu Yunxuan briefly discussed the investigation into Aiden over the past few days. Aiden was staying at a place not owned by him, apparently not linked to the Shadow Alliance.

But they couldn’t say there was no link at all. The estate’s owner was Geng Zewei, a minor leader in the Shadow Alliance.

This only meant Aiden was using Geng Zewei’s identity to hide something.

Wen Xin, supporting her cheek with her hand, looked out the window and spoke softly after a long silence.

“Geng Zewei has come back to the country. If this is connected to Aiden, it might mean they are trying to move their power here. If so, that would be interesting.”

After many years of investigation, the reasons behind Wen Xin’s parents’ deaths were still unclear.

Wen Xin knew the Shadow Alliance was involved in her parents’ deaths, but she couldn’t find out which group paid the Shadow Alliance. She just wanted to understand what happened.

“Is the Shadow Alliance that ambitious? Do they want a part of the action here too?” Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin’s side face. She believed Wen Xin’s guess might be right.

“This isn’t just a matter of ambition; Geng Zewei has no other choice,” Wen Xin turned to Chu Yunxuan, starting to explain the current situation of the Shadow Alliance.

“According to Truth Listener’s investigation, the Shadow Alliance has changed its leader. The fact that Aiden is staying at Geng Zewei’s villa shows that Aiden was either ousted or fled during a conflict.”

“Whichever the case, both Aiden and Geng Zewei have lost their absolute power, so they need to quickly expand their influence.”

“To expand their influence, they must develop their territory and connections. Although I don’t know where the Shadow Alliance’s main base is, according to their movements, from Continent F to P City to N Port, they have no foothold anywhere.”

“They have two possible directions for expansion: one is domestically, and the other is near Independent State. The situation near Independent State is more complicated with the Enemy Alliance and Ghost’s Domain involved. For Geng Zewei, going there would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.”

“So the best option is domestically. In Ice City, even though the Geng family is gone, don’t forget who took the Geng family’s money. I heard that even Su Li’s private money was taken from Geng Qiu.”

Listening to Wen Xin’s analysis, Chu Yunxuan seemed to understand Geng Zewei’s purpose in returning to the country; he was quite scheming.

“What do you plan to do then? If we let Geng Zewei make moves domestically, I wonder if he could become a threat.

Chu Yunxuan was still worried that Geng Zewei might pose a threat to Wen Xin. It would save a lot of trouble if they could stop him now.

“A threat? He’s like a stray dog now; what threat could he pose? His idea to return to the country is too naive. If it were possible to develop a power like the Shadow Alliance domestically, why would Mu Chengxi go to Continent F?”

“In Beijing, he can’t achieve what he aims to do; how could Geng Zewei possibly manage it? Let him struggle on his own.”

Wen Xin laughed indifferently. Ever since she knew Geng Zewei was returning to the country, she never paid attention to his whereabouts. She figured that Geng Zewei wouldn’t be able to make any waves.

“There’s also another possibility; Aiden might want to test the internal workings of the Shadow Alliance. The Alliance’s recent actions have all been thwarted, and he’s too smart not to notice there’s a problem. He left the Alliance and hid himself to see who wants to replace him.”

“If that’s the case, then facing him this time is a very risky move. It could be a tough battle; if necessary, I wouldn’t mind getting rid of Aiden. Keeping him around is useless anyway.”

Chu Yunxuan saw the corners of Wen Xin’s eyes redden slightly, seeming to understand why Wen Xin agreed to let Mu Chengxi’s people pick her up; she wanted to use Mu Chengxi’s power to protect them. Too bad those people didn’t seem keen on cooperating.

“Mu Chengxi’s people aren’t reliable when it really counts,” Chu Yunxuan barely held back a laugh as she teased Mu Chengxi.

Wen Xin chuckled at Chu Yunxuan’s teasing, her laughter sounding especially pleasant.

“Actually, I’m also hesitant about using Mu Chengxi’s people. If I use them, my identity will definitely be exposed, but I don’t have a better plan to get rid of those people.”

“Their actions have given me a chance to avoid exposing my identity, which is quite nice. As for the identity issue, I’ll tell him about it later.”

Knowing that Mu Chengxi had been injured while taking down Ghost’s Domain for her, Wen Xin had thought about gradually revealing her identity in

Continent M to him. Now, thinking about it, maybe not yet. She’ll keep this disguise a little longer; it’s always good to maintain some mystery between them..
