Chapter 747: Chapter 746: Physical Blow is Nothing, Mental Blow is the Deadliest
 

“Knock, knock…”

“Mr. Muxi, may I come in?” Chief Zhou stood outside Muxi’s door, gently knocking and waiting for Muxi’s response.

Muxi gently turned over and realized that he could now move freely. He tentatively sat up on the bed, then slowly got down from it.

He was greatly surprised to find that apart from some pain in his arm and ribs, he could move normally.

He looked at the pill on the bed pensively. He had never imagined Miss Wen’s medicine could be so miraculous… How could this be possible?

Having received no response from Muxi after a long while, Chief Zhou pushed open the door and entered. He immediately saw Muxi standing by the bed, staring blankly at something.

However, that wasn’t the main point. What truly surprised him was that he could never have imagined Muxi being able to stand… What… what was going on?

“Mr. Muxi, your injuries are severe, you shouldn’t be pushing yourself. It will cause more damage to various functions of your body. People in the medical room advised that you should rest in bed…”

As he heard the noise from Chief Zhou beside him, Muxi slightly lifted his head and looked towards Chief Zhou.

“I… I’m not forcing myself. It’s Miss Wen’s medicine… Her medicine is truly miraculous. Now, except for the injured bones, I feel no pain elsewhere and can even move freely…”

As he spoke, Muxi even deliberately walked a few steps in front of Chief Zhou. Although he could not move as freely as before, he now had complete ability to care for himself.

Chief Zhou watched Muxi with a face full of astonishment. He had personally escorted Muxi to the medical room and knew very well how severely Muxi had been beaten.

Yet, just a few hours later, Muxi had regained his ability to move. This… this could be considered a medical miracle, couldn’t it? He couldn’t believe it.

By now, Muxi had recovered from his initial shock. He glanced at the time, walked over to Chief Zhou, and gently patted his shoulder.

“Let’s not keep others waiting, we should head to the dock to receive the cargo now.”

With those words, Muxi put his uninjured arm on Chief Zhou’s shoulder, embracing the still-shocked Chief Zhou, and together they walked out of the room.

As Muxi and Chief Zhou walked out of the room, they happened upon Miss Wen who had just walked out of her room wearing a black coat. The two of them immediately stood properly and greeted Miss Wen with polite and respectful salutations.

“Miss Wen!”

“Miss Wen.”

Muxi’s gaze towards Wen Xin had shifted from disdain to respect, and even his tone became very humble as he greeted her. Although he wasn’t as deferential as he was towards Mu Chengxi, it was clear that he had been impressed.

“Mm.” Wen Xin responded with a slight nod and then withdrew her gaze from them, appearing cool and proud.

At the moment, Wen Xin was still somewhat sleepy, exuding an air of aloof grace. Those familiar with her knew this to be her morning mood.

Yet, those unfamiliar with her mistook it for her distant demeanor.

“I’ll go with you to the dock, if you don’t mind.”

“Of course not, it’s cold outside, Miss Wen, do you need a thicker coat?”

Because of yesterday’s events and Muxi’s inexplicably rapid recovery, Chief Zhou had completely accepted Wen Xin as one of his own, and his first words were unconsciously caring.

“No need, my coat is quite thick. Let’s head out together!”

As she spoke, Wen Xin pulled the coat’s hood over her head, perfectly concealing her beautiful face, which almost merged with the darkness outside.

Wen Xin exited the building and saw Mu Bei already waiting for her downstairs. She followed Mu Bei to the car, got in, and waited to depart.

Many accompanying people were unaware of what had happened at the service area yesterday, causing discontentment at Wen Xin’s presence; they felt it was already outrageous for Wen Xin to have come along for a ride, and now following them to the dock was just adding chaos.

“Mr. Muxi, Chief Zhou, aren’t you going to intervene? It was already capricious for Miss Wen to come to such a dangerous place, and now she even wants to go to the dock. If something unexpected happens, we won’t be able to shoulder the blame when Master Xi takes it out on us!”

One person voiced everyone’s thoughts first, and others could not help but speak up.

“Exactly… Mr. Muxi, you are in charge of this transaction. Even if she is Master Xi’s woman, you should not be so immoderate, and you completely have the right to send her back!”

“That’s right, we are here to conduct business, not to entertain her whims. Does Master Xi know about this?”

“Such women really have no brains, relying on Master Xi’s affection to act as they please. It’s really…”

…

“Shut up!” Listening to everyone’s complaints about Wen Xin, Muxi sharply rebuked them, telling them to stop their reckless talk.

“You only need to take care of your own duties. The rest is none of your concern! Let’s set off now!”

Muxi’s rebuke made everyone wisely shut their mouths, and they each found their vehicles and departed together.

They arrived at the dock just before four o’clock. Wen Xin sat in the car, watching the empty dock when suddenly a flash of light crossed her vision, and Wen Xin’s dark, bright eyes momentarily lit up.

“Mu Bei, there are people ambushed at three and seven o’clock directions, seven hundred meters straight ahead, likely two snipers. Call Muxi and let him prepare.”

Hearing Wen Xin’s alert, Mu Bei was momentarily startled. He quickly turned to face Wen Xin, then immediately took out his phone from his pocket, dialed Muxi’s number, and relayed Wen Xin’s message to Muxi verbatim.

Upon receiving Mu Bei’s call, Muxi fell into a skeptical introspection, unsure when Mu Bei had become so vigilant.

Since Mu Bei had warned him, he naturally would not take it lightly. Even if it was a misjudgment, he would still arrange for someone to check it out.

Muxi passed Mu Bei’s warning on to Chief Zhou, who immediately arranged for someone to handle the situation.

After Chief Zhou left, Muxi glanced at the time—it was three fifty, ten minutes till the arrival of the cargo ship at berth 26. If there really was a danger, these ten minutes were enough to resolve it.

Muxi sat in the car, watching the time on his expensive wristwatch, unaware of what he was anticipating.

He seemed to be eagerly waiting for Chief Zhou’s reply, hoping that Mu Bei’s judgment was incorrect, yet also hoping that, before the cargo ship from berth 26 arrived, all hidden dangers would be resolved.

Muxi lit a cigarette, still intently staring at the time on his watch…
