Wen Xin’s sudden appearance on the floor where Wen Yunuo was located caused Xiao Ci, who had just come out of Wen Yunuo’s office, to pause in slight surprise. He did not understand how Wen Xin managed to move freely in and out of the office building.

“Miss Wen, how did you enter the building?”

Last time, Xiao Ci wanted to ask this question, but due to inappropriate timing, he refrained. Now, however, seemed like a good opportunity.

“Your security system is a bit lacking; I just changed some information, and that was it. What’s there to be amazed about?”

Wen Xin completely disregarded Xiao Ci’s surprise, passed by him, and headed straight towards Wen Yunuo’s office.

“He’s… in the office, right?”

As she reached the entrance of Wen Yunuo’s office, Wen Xin stopped, turned her head to look at Xiao Ci, who was rigidly standing in place, and raised an eyebrow, her voice cold as she asked.

“He is, Miss Wen, wait, the young master is on the phone with the lord, so…” Xiao Ci seemed to suddenly think of something and ran in front of Wen Xin to stop her.

“Miss Wen, please go to my office to rest for a while. If the old gentleman knows that you are at Kunshan Group, he will surely be suspicious, so it’s better to hide for now.”

After saying this, Xiao Ci pulled on Wen Xin’s arm and led her towards his office. Wen Xin did not refuse since she knew she still needed Wen Yunuo, and there was no need to let the Old Fox know about her dealings with Wen Yunuo.

Wen Xin sat down on the sofa in the resting area of Xiao Ci’s office. She glanced around at the decor in Xiao Ci’s office and finally her gaze landed on a photo lying on the desk.

“You still kept this photo? Aren’t you afraid that Wen Yunuo might see it and think you are in Cao Cao’s camp but your heart is with Han?”

Wen Xin stood up and walked over to Xiao Ci’s desk to pick up the photo that Xiao Ci hadn’t managed to put away. She gave it a faint glance, a slight smile curling the corner of her mouth.

“You all were brothers who experienced life and death together. Have you almost lost contact with them now?”

The person standing in the center of the photo was none other than Wen Xin, who carried an indescribable valor in her expression.

To her left stood Moore, to her right, Alfredo, and in an inconspicuous corner stood a frail young boy—none other than Xiao Ci.

Xiao Ci took the photo from Wen Xin’s hands and immediately placed it in his drawer, looking at Wen Xin with a helpless chuckle.

“I have never had divided loyalties towards the young master; I just miss the past a bit.”

Xiao Ci knew that he was not from the same strata as those people; it was purely by luck that he had stood with them initially, and he felt like all his life’s luck was spent meeting them.

“It’s all in the past, there’s no need for nostalgia. Although there are things I’d rather not bring up, I still have to say, thank you for taking that stab for me. I will never forget it.”

While preparing coffee for Wen Xin, Xiao Ci was completely taken aback when Wen Xin brought up this matter. The hand that was fetching water paused involuntarily, and he slowly closed his eyes.

After about ten seconds, Xiao Ci tried to regain his composure, placed the brewed coffee in front of Wen Xin, and sat opposite her, pretending to be calm.

“That was a long time ago, little princess; you don’t need to remember it too clearly.”

Wen Xin looked at the hand Xiao Ci had rested on his lap, her eyebrows slightly raised; she could feel the emotional fluctuations in Xiao Ci.

Wen Xin withdrew her gaze and looked at the coffee placed before her, speaking in a light and indifferent tone, “I don’t understand how the person who once took a knife for me without hesitation is now allowing someone to try to kill me.”

Seemingly not expecting the conversation to take this turn, Xiao Ci awkwardly lowered his head. He had thought about stopping it, but… he was just a pawn, what right did he have to stop anything?

“Little princess, I…”

Xiao Ci wanted to explain something, but it seemed that all words paled in comparison to the facts and there was no need to explain at all.

“It’s fine, no need to explain, what I need now is a partner, not someone to settle accounts with.”

Having spoken, Wen Xin casually sat down on the sofa in a different posture, her black, shiny eyes seriously looking at Xiao Ci, hoping her approach could help Xiao Ci regain a bit of their former friendship.

“I have a minor question I want to ask you, you can choose to answer, or not. If you don’t wish to answer, consider it as if I hadn’t asked.”

Wen Xin’s serious gaze from her bright eyes made Xiao Ci involuntarily step back; he had a feeling that the small question from Wen Xin was anything but simple.

“Little princess… I… I just…”

“The person behind the Shadow Alliance is Old Fox, right?” Wen Xin didn’t give Xiao Ci a chance to evade the question and asked coldly, catching Xiao Ci off guard.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Wen Yunuo walked in, heading straight for Wen Xin.

“There are things you shouldn’t ask; knowing too much won’t do you any good.”

Just as Wen Yunuo was pushing the door open, he happened to hear Wen Xin’s question to Xiao Ci. He didn’t know how Wen Xin had found out about this matter, but his reason told him it was better not to let Wen Xin know.

Wen Xin looked at Wen Yunuo’s irritable expression and coldly smiled, “Your attitude has already given away your answer. The Shadow Alliance belongs to Old Fox; I should have guessed it. But why would he attack my parents? Why destroy the research institute to harm me?”

Wen Xin, her hand by her side, clenched tightly, had thought of many possibilities, but she had never considered that the Shadow Alliance would be Old Fox’s doing, nor had she imagined that Old Fox would be so ruthless as to harm his own son.

Seeing the veins on Wen Xin’s neck bulging, Wen Yunuo realized he could no longer hide the truth. He turned and took a bottle of ice water from the fridge and placed it in front of Wen Xin, hoping it could help her calm down.

“I’ve already spoken with Grandfather about Tan Xingyue; he has agreed to hand her over to me, but I can’t bring her back to you that soon. As for Liang Luoyu, don’t worry. I have just sent him to be by Tan Xingyue’s side; they will be safe in my care.”

Wen Yunuo was now trying to use Tan Xingyue’s situation to stabilize Wen Xin’s emotions, but when he met Wen Xin’s bloodshot eyes, he understood that all his efforts were futile.

“Wen Xin, if we consider it from another angle, if it were my parents in trouble, I might not be able to remain as calm as you. But have you ever considered that this might just be our destiny as members of the Wen family?”
