Before Mu Chengxi arrived, he had already sent his location to his Fifth Uncle. When he joked about being unprepared, he was merely teasing. With Wen Xin involved, he would never risk her safety.

Wen Xin wasn’t surprised by Mu Chengxi’s words. When he marked that location on the GPS, she had guessed it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to go to such a remote place.

“I want to see Lukas alone. My identity within the Shadow Alliance might not be a secret anymore. I need Lukas’s help. Geng Zewei knows I was the one who took action against Aiden. His memory can be erased, but I’m not sure how much the Shadow Alliance knows.”

Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi’s face darkened again. He slowed the car and turned it around, heading back toward the Mu family base.

When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi returned, Fifth Uncle had already brought Lukas and his men back to the base.

Seeing Mu Chengxi driving back, Fifth Uncle was a bit surprised. He handed over his captives to other subordinates and walked over to Mu Chengxi’s car, waiting for him and Wen Xin to get out.

“Why are you two back again?” Fifth Uncle asked, puzzled.

“I want to see Lukas,” Mu Chengxi said coldly, his face stern.

“Why? What happened? We’ve already captured them, so there shouldn’t be any danger,” Fifth Uncle replied, not understanding why Mu Chengxi suddenly wanted to see the prisoners.

“Just a minor issue. Fifth Uncle, how are their injuries?” Wen Xin asked, worried that significant injuries would hinder her ability to negotiate with Lukas.

“No major injuries. Lukas only has a bullet graze on his arm, nothing serious. He’s in the medical room getting it treated,” Fifth Uncle responded truthfully, recognizing Wen Xin’s importance.

“Alright, I’ll go talk to him. I have some matters to discuss,” Wen Xin said, glancing at Mu Chengxi. Noticing her look, Mu Chengxi nodded, agreeing with her decision.

Wen Xin walked alone into the medical room. The two men watching over Lukas were startled to see her, not recognizing her and thinking this place wasn’t suitable for a young woman.

“Who are you?”

“I need to speak with him alone. Please wait outside,” Wen Xin said calmly, leaning against the doorframe.

“Who do you think you are? Why should we—”

“Leave,” Mu Chengxi’s authoritative voice cut in as he stepped behind Wen Xin. The two men, recognizing his commanding presence, closed their mouths and respectfully left the room.

Lukas, seeing Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin return, was surprised. He smiled faintly, his eyes filled with curiosity.

“You two have the guts to come back. Impressive!”

“We’re here to escort you out. I know you don’t want to cause trouble in Beijing, and we don’t intend to harm you either. As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me, I’ll ensure you and your men leave safely,” Wen Xin said, taking over the suturing work from the doctor. Her cool demeanor remained as she carefully stitched Lukas’s wound.

“Why are you helping me? We underestimated your strength and capability. If there’s a next time, I won’t waste time in one place,” Lukas said, frustrated with himself for being captured due to his momentary carelessness.

“If you had acted rashly, you’d likely be meeting your maker now, instead of having me stitch you up,” Wen Xin retorted, tying off the last stitch with a neat knot.

“I want to discuss a partnership with you. I assume you’ve already looked into my identity?” Wen Xin asked, her tone serious and sincere.

“No, I haven’t found out your identity. All the information we have comes from Geng Qiu, who said you’re just a country girl who might have gotten close to Yuan Junye or been captured along with Geng Zewei. She claimed Geng Zewei liked you,” Lukas admitted truthfully.

“Do you know what data Geng Zewei’s camera transmitted? Any audio or video?” Wen Xin inquired, needing to confirm if the Shadow Alliance knew about her involvement with Aiden.

“No audio or video, just some photos. One of them included you, but we couldn’t trace the others,” Lukas replied.

Satisfied with the answer, Wen Xin felt relieved. Only Geng Zewei knew about her connection to Aiden, and now, that wouldn’t be an issue.

Snapping her fingers near Lukas’s ear, Wen Xin brought him back to full awareness. He looked at her, confused.

“What do you want to cooperate on? What will it take for you to let me go and hand over Geng Zewei?”

“My terms are the same. You owe me a favor. When I need your help, remember to repay it. Geng Zewei was taken by people from Continent M. Even if he returns to the Shadow Alliance, his survival isn’t guaranteed. I can help you get him out, but I can’t promise he’ll be alive.”

“Additionally, I need you to remove me from the Shadow Alliance’s radar. I don’t want anyone causing me further trouble.”

“If you agree, I’ll let you leave now,” Wen Xin stated, her clear eyes showing her determination.

“No problem. Geng Zewei’s fate isn’t crucial to the Shadow Alliance. With Aiden’s recent incident, abandoning his foster son could cause internal issues. As for your identity, you’re just a victim, a country girl. This has nothing to do with you,” Lukas agreed, seeing the benefit of removing Geng Zewei as a threat.
