A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 822: Chapter 821: Gossiping Can Be Deadly

Ou Jinzhi’s words made Jiang Desheng involuntarily take a step back, his whole presence lost the previous momentum, and his eyes also involuntarily dimmed.

He almost forgot, who was the cause of his situation today.

“But, Jinzhi, you can’t ignore Linyan! After all, she is your sister-in-law!”

Jiang Desheng stepped forward, grabbed Ou Jinzhi’s arm, and tried to use his words to coerce Ou Jinzhi into asking Mu Chengxi for help and to rescue Jiang Linyan.

“She is indeed my sister-in-law, but whether she considers me a brother-in-law, I don’t know. You should go back first. I can assure you, Jiang Linyan is not in Mu Chengxi’s hands. If she were, do you think the Jiang family could still be preserved?”

Jiang Desheng looked at Ou Jinzhi and instantly understood the meaning behind his words, and also confirmed that Jiang Linyan wasn’t in Mu Chengxi’s hands.

However, his realization seemed somewhat late; his outburst had directly exposed that the incident involving Linyan and Wen Xin’s injuries was related.

It seems the future won’t be very peaceful.

“Well, perhaps I misunderstood, I was just worried in the moment, afraid that Mu Chengxi would connect Linyan and Miss Wen’s injuries together. I will try to find another way to locate him… It really is a misunderstanding…a misunderstanding.”

While speaking of the misunderstanding, Jiang Desheng hurriedly left, his figure looking inexplicably flustered.

After Jiang Desheng had left, Ou Jinzhi straightened his clothes and waved his hands at the people he had brought with him, “You guys go ahead.”

After letting his people leave, Ou Jinzhi walked over to Mu Bei and casually draped his arm over Mu Bei’s shoulder, “How is Miss Wen doing? And how is Master Xi? I heard from Ling Yichen that he almost went mad…”

Mu Bei looked at Ou Jinzhi’s nonchalant demeanor, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Was he not afraid that Master Xi might hear him badmouthing him right here?

“Master Xi is still okay, and Miss Wen is recovering quite well, too. Young Master Ou, would you like to visit Miss Wen? She just had lunch, and she’s in good spirits. The doctor said she can have visitors.”

Mu Bei really dared not let Ou Jinzhi speak so recklessly outside anymore; he was truly afraid that Ou Jinzhi might say something inappropriate and upset Mu Chengxi, which would be too dangerous.

Ou Jinzhi, seeming not to notice Mu Bei’s concerns, lazily leaned against him, “I’m waiting for your sister-in-law in a bit, why don’t you tell me about what happened at that time. Seeing Mu Chengxi lose control isn’t something easy to come by. I heard…”

“Young Master Ou, if you are waiting for your wife, just wait here slowly. I have some things to do and must go now; I can’t keep you company!”

As Ou Jinzhi asked him to talk about Mu Chengxi’s gossip, Mu Bei felt a chill over his entire body. Was Master Xi’s gossip something you could just casually talk about? It’s a matter of life or death; he dared not say a word.

Watching Mu Bei escape in a fluster, Ou Jinzhi sat down on a bench outside the hospital room, a light smile crossing his face as he thought to himself, it seems that day really did scare Mu Chengxi out of his wits, otherwise Mu Bei wouldn’t be so cautious, unwilling to reveal even a half word.

Sitting in the hospital room, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s gentle smile, lowered his head slightly, and leaned on Wen Xin’s shoulder, “If you scare me like that again, I’ll cry for you to see.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s eyes, slightly reddened, and gently placed her hand on Mu Chengxi’s cheek, “There won’t be a next time.”

Alfredo lay on the bed, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the bald man, “Did Wen Yunuo do it? I had already warned him not to lay a hand on Wen Xin, yet he just wouldn’t listen.”

“It’s unclear whether this matter is related to Young Master Wen or not. We haven’t figured out who it is, but they are all searching for Jiang Linyan throughout the city, yet Jiang Linyan seems to have disappeared.”

The bald man responded in a calm tone with his head lowered, understanding Alfredo’s impatience, as Wen Xin was his life, and he couldn’t possibly bear someone harming Wen Xin.

“Chairman, I think that…”

“What do you think? Do you think you can investigate this matter clearly or what? Since the Old Fox won’t spare Wen Xin, then we have no need to comply with the Old Fox’s demands either.”

Alfredo sat up from the hospital bed without a second thought, glanced at his injured arm, and smiled gently, “Although you can be ruthless to me, I still can’t help but want to deal with those who bully you. I won’t let any of them off!”

“Chairman, your injuries…” The bald man tried to stop Alfredo’s movements, worrying that he might aggravate his wounds that had only just started to heal.

“My injuries don’t matter. Notify the Elders Guild to meet at the central building. I want to participate in the core chip project.”

As soon as Alfredo’s words were spoken, the bald man standing beside him inadvertently shuddered slightly. This core chip project had always been managed by the Elders Guild and the Wen family, and the Elders Council had never been involved. Intervening in it was undoubtedly looking for trouble.

The Elders Guild probably wouldn’t agree either.

“Chairman, think it through. If our Elders Council involves ourselves in this project, it means we are openly declaring ourselves enemies of the Wen family. We shouldn’t get involved in this murky water,” he advised Alfredo earnestly, trying to dissuade him from his idea, but alas, Alfredo had already lost his reason due to Wen Xin’s injury and was set on revenge against the Wen family.

“Chairman, please calm down. The Elders Guild was already dissatisfied with how you handled those two explosion incidents. They will definitely stand with the Wen family’s old fox now. We hardly have any chance of winning. If you listen to me, perhaps from another angle…”

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The bald man hadn’t finished his speech when a knock sounded at the door. He hurriedly shut his mouth, turned, and walked to the hospital room’s door to open it, only to see Moore standing outside.

“Mr. Moore…” The bald man was somewhat surprised to see Moore, though Moore and his Young Master had a deep connection, they rarely had opportunities to meet.

“I heard your Young Master was injured and specially came to pay a visit!”

When Moore spoke, he took off the sunglasses on his face and handed a fruit basket to the bald man, smiling gently at him in a polite and scholarly manner that seemed completely harmless. freewebnoveℓ.com

But those who knew Moore understood that this very demeanor was the most dangerous. Mastering the art of disguise, hiding the unseen aspects behind him was what truly made him dangerous.

“Please, come in…”

The bald man didn’t dare to stop Moore, directly ushering him into the hospital room and closing the door behind him before turning to brew a cup of coffee for Moore.
