Chapter 746: Chapter 745: It’s Your Honor to be Disciplined by Miss Wen
 

She set down her dinner, turned her head toward Mu Bei as if something had just occurred to her, her eyes and brows smiling as she asked, “Did Muxi go to the hospital?”

“There’s a medical room here. Muxi’s injuries have already been treated. His arm…”

“I’m well aware of his injuries, given that I inflicted them myself. I was as gentle as I could be. If it weren’t for Mu Chengxi’s sake, you’d all be collecting his corpse!”

Wen Xin said, pulling a medicine bottle out of her pocket, extracting a tissue from a box nearby, and then pouring two pills onto the tissue, folding it, and handing it to Mu Bei.

“Take these to Muxi. Tell him to take one after dinner, and the other one tomorrow at noon will do.”

Having said that, Wen Xin didn’t forget to add half-jokingly to Mu Bei, “My medicine is very expensive, make sure Muxi pays for it.”

Just as Mu Bei was getting ready to thank Wen Xin for Muxi, he nearly stumbled upon hearing her last remark.

This was his first encounter with someone who charged for medicine after injuring someone – indeed, it was their unorthodox Miss Wen.

“Thank you for the medicine, Miss Wen. I’ll relay your message to Muxi word for word, without fail.”

“Miss Wen, please rest well. I’ll take my leave now!”

Mu Bei, holding the pills in his hand, wanted nothing more than to deliver them to Muxi and to see what Muxi’s expression would be like when he heard Miss Wen was charging him for the medicine…

After Wen Xin finished her not-so-tasty steak, she casually opened a bag of snacks and had a few bites. Just then, her cell phone rang – it was a video call from Mu Chengxi. Setting aside her snacks, Wen Xin answered the video call.

“What’s up?” Wen Xin, noticing the pitch-black background behind Mu Chengxi, guessed that he was probably still outdoors, which made her frown involuntarily.

“Didn’t you say you were going to discuss business? Why are you still outside at this hour? Don’t you have a place to stay?”

“Of course, I have a place to rest!” Mu Chengxi, looking at Wen Xin’s lovely and cute little face, felt his heart thump uncontrollably, replying to her softly.

“I still have some other matters to deal with, but once they’re handled, I’ll head back to the hotel to rest. How is your resting place? Are you satisfied with your meals? Don’t overexert yourself, let them handle their own affairs, you’re just there to have fun!”

Mu Chengxi’s words were understated, wanting to remind Wen Xin not to get involved in dangerous affairs.

Hearing the meaning behind Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin slightly smiled, “People from Institute 26 have come, of course, I have to meet them. Don’t worry, I’ll try not to get involved.”

As she mentioned trying not to get involved, Wen Xin winked at Mu Chengxi.

Seeing Wen Xin’s rarely playful side, Mu Chengxi smiled affectionately. He never opposed her desires and given Wen Xin’s status at Institute 26, she likely wouldn’t face any danger.

“Well, just be very careful, and don’t get hurt or else next time, I won’t let you go out and have fun by yourself!”

…

Mu Bei, holding the pills Wen Xin had given him, walked into Muxi’s resting room and seeing Muxi’s painfully agonized expression, couldn’t help but shudder.

He couldn’t help but think, this was the so-called mercy of Miss Wen; if it wasn’t for her showing mercy, wouldn’t Muxi have possibly lost his life…

“What are you doing here? You dog, was it you who posted that photo of me getting beaten up in the group? I’m practically dying from their mockery!”

The moment Mu Xi saw Mu Bei, his first thought was about the photo. If his body had allowed it, he would have given Mu Bei a good beating, making him as miserable as he was.

Mu Bei looked at Mu Xi, who was struggling to get up from the bed to hit him, and flashed a silly, innocent smile.

“Xi, you’re really something, still thinking about getting back at me even in this state? Actually, there’s hardly any need for that, right?”

Mu Xi took out a pill from his palm, walked over to Mu Xi’s bedside, pushed one into Mu Xi’s mouth, and carefully wrapped the other in a tissue, placing it in Mu Xi’s uninjured hand.

“Miss Wen’s medication is particularly precious. You’re lucky to be able to take Miss Wen’s medication. Don’t forget to reimburse her for the medicine after you’ve taken it!”

Mu Bei stood beside Mu Xi, his face wearing a harmless, innocent smile, looking very amiable.

As Mu Xi lay on the bed, he took a deep breath, forcefully swallowed the pill in his mouth, but the resentment in his heart remained unswallowed.

After about five minutes of silence, Mu Xi felt much better. He turned his head towards Mu Bei, who was still standing by his side.

“How strong is Miss Wen? I feel like her skills are almost on par with Master Xi’s.”

“I’m not very sure. I’ve never seen Miss Wen in action before. Miss Wen is someone who hates complications and usually deals with her enemies with just a silver needle.”

Mu Bei paused as he spoke, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Mu Xi.

“In situations like this, where she personally takes action, not just me, even Master Xi has probably never seen such a scene, right?”

At this, Mu Bei couldn’t suppress his laughter any longer, laughing out loud, “I warned you before, you can mess with anyone, but don’t mess with Miss Wen. You just wouldn’t listen, and now, look, Miss Wen has dealt with you. Have you learned your lesson?”

Mu Bei’s words hit Mu Xi right in the heart. Mu Xi stared blankly at Mu Bei, finally sighing helplessly.

“I have, I’ve been beaten to this state. If I don’t admit it now, I might really lose my life. I just hope Master Xi can look at all the years I’ve been with him and not pursue this matter, otherwise…”

Mu Xi said this with a helpless sigh, “Otherwise, I might really die this time!”

Mu Bei, seeing Mu Xi finally showing signs of submission for the first time, sat next to him and chuckled softly.

“You can rest assured on that, Master Xi has already stepped back and let Miss Wen handle the conflict between you and her herself. As long as Miss Wen doesn’t hold a grudge, Master Xi will still spare your life!”

“Alright, it’s getting late. You should rest now. Miss Wen’s medicine is very powerful. I guess by four o’clock, you’ll be able to get up and go make the deal. I’ll be taking off now!”

Mu Bei’s mysterious expression as he looked at Mu Xi convinced him that physical pain might not mean much to Mu Xi, but he definitely didn’t want Mu Xi to miss out on the mental impact!

Mu Bei’s mysterious smile as he left plunged Mu Xi into confusion. He now fully understood not to underestimate Mu Bei, who had been around Wen Xin the longest among them. He definitely knew something.

And so, Mu Xi, with his doubts and physical pain, stayed awake until three-thirty in the morning, unable to sleep.
