Chapter 749: Chapter 448 Wen Xin’s Identity Exposed, Muxi Receives Triple Blow
 

Due to the increase in raw material costs, a three to five percent hike is unavoidable, but ten percent is indeed asking too much.

Although Mu Chengxi isn’t short on cash, there’s no need to let his money flow into the pockets of Area 26.

“That’s enough, ten percent is truly unnecessary, I think eight percent is already quite sufficient!”

Just as the two were in the midst of their most intense quarrel, a cool female voice intervened from outside, causing everyone to unconsciously turn towards the source of the sound.

“Hey, what does a woman like you know? Why are you speaking out of turn here? If you mess up the deal, can you afford the consequences?”

When they realized that the speaker was Wen Xin, a man who had always been critical of her spoke up fiercely, scolding Wen Xin for her disruptive behavior.

After someone chastised Wen Xin, the others who disdained her wanted to speak out too. They did not believe that Master Xi would continue to protect her if she were to mess up the deal.

The fear they had felt before was now converted into courage, as they openly scolded Wen Xin, wishing they could just throw her into the sea to feed the sharks.

“Exactly, how could you intervene in Mr. Muxi’s business negotiation…”

The man’s words suddenly cut off mid-sentence, and everyone turned towards his direction, only to see him lying on the ground in agony, not knowing what had happened.

Muxi had been looking at Wen Xin the moment she began to speak, and he saw her every move clearly when she took action.

He now looked at the tiny needle in Wen Xin’s hand and felt a chill down his spine. It seemed Mu Bei was right; Wen Xin indeed had no intention to take his life, for if she wanted to, a single move from her would have been the end of him.

Wen Xin, with a cold gaze, withdrew her stare from the man lying on the ground, slipped her hands back into her pockets, and walked towards the center of the dock.

When Wen Xin reached the center, Muxi saw the man behind Berry suddenly move, and his first reaction was that Wen Xin was in danger. He quickly stepped in front of Wen Xin to shield her.

Muxi’s first instinct was concern that Wen Xin could be in danger; he felt the need to protect her.

Having conducted many transactions with Area 26, they were all too aware of how brutal the tactics of those from Area 26 could be, and until now, no one had dared to speak to the head of Area 26 in such a manner.

Wen Xin was slightly taken aback by Muxi’s gesture; she had not expected the physically challenged Muxi to use his body as a shield in front of her.

She raised her hand and gently patted Muxi’s shoulder, her tone cold as she reassured, “We’re among our own here, no need to worry.”

Having said this, she gently passed by Muxi and approached Berry, and what Berry and the men behind him did next left everyone utterly astonished.

Berry and the six men behind him all knelt on one knee in unison and respectfully saluted Wen Xin.

“Master Drunk…”

A synchronized and resounding “Master Drunk” caused Muxi, who was standing aside, to involuntarily step back. If it weren’t for Mu Bei catching him quickly, he might have fallen to the ground.

Muxi clung to Mu Bei’s sleeve, his eyes in disbelief at Wen Xin, wondering if his brain had been damaged by her. Otherwise, how could he witness the people of Area 26 saluting Wen Xin?

And… those people just called Wen Xin “Master Drunk”—could this be his illusion?

“Get up, all of you. They are our own people. Eight percent is about right; ten percent is excessive.”

Wen Xin extended her hand to pull Berry up from the ground, not forgetting to help Muxi negotiate a better price.

For someone like Wen Xin, who tends to stick their elbows out, Berry had become quite accustomed to it, after all, the last contact with the M organization had been the same. They not only sold them firearms at the lowest price but also gave away a brand-new stealth drone for free.

Compared to this time, making two billion less was already quite a feat!

“Master Drunk, you’re not telling me they’re also your son-in-law’s people, are you?”

After saluting Wen Xin, Berry, full of curiosity, sidled up to Wen Xin and asked, tilting his head, completely devoid of the earlier seriousness in discussing the price.

Wen Xin looked at Berry, who wore a mask, and laughed lightly, then raised an eyebrow, “Yes, your son-in-law’s people.”

Actually, Wen Xin wasn’t very clear about the status of Mu Chengxi in F Continent, but seeing the list of firearms purchased by Muxi, she had just realized that Mu Chengxi might be more than just a mining magnate in F Continent.

“Damn, Master Drunk, don’t you think that’s a bit much? Who did you find? Now everything we have is self-produced and sold. What’s this all about? I don’t care, if you keep up like this, we can’t do business!”

Berry suddenly sat down on the ground and started to act out. After a year of hard work, his Lab 26 hadn’t just made no money, but had also put a lot of resources into it.

Especially Wen Xin, who had even played with several missiles this year.

How was he supposed to fill the deficit caused by Wen Xin in the future?

If it went on like this, what was his Lab 26 even supposed to do business with?

Everyone was taken aback as they watched Berry suddenly sit on the ground and start to make a scene.

Wen Xin, feeling helpless while looking at Berry, began to regret showing up too soon. She gestured to several masked individuals standing nearby, beckoning them with her fingers.

“First get him up, let’s go inside and talk slowly, it’s too embarrassing!”

Wen Xin looked disdainfully at Berry, then turned and walked toward the cruise ship.

Four of the six people behind her picked up Berry and went upstairs, while the other two followed calmly and composedly.

After Wen Xin and Berry’s group entered the cruise ship, Muxi turned his head to look at Mu Bei, perplexedly asking, “The scene I just witnessed wasn’t a dream, right?”

“No, it wasn’t. Miss Wen is Lab 26’s ‘slightly tipsy.’ She didn’t get out of the car at first because she didn’t want to affect your price negotiation…”

Mu Bei looked calmly at the surprised Muxi and couldn’t help but feel joy bubbling inside him. He had been waiting for this moment, feeling ecstatic. It was his turn to make up for all the times he’d been bullied by paying back with interest.

Hearing Mu Bei’s words, Muxi felt dizzy, and the people behind him experienced the same reaction.

They all tried hard to recall if they had been disrespectful to the big boss along the way, whether they had done anything out of line, wondering if the boss would clean up after them.

The man lying on the floor looked despairingly at the slowly rising sun on the coastline, feeling that being able to see today’s sun was his greatest fortune.

He wanted to take a few more glances, as he probably wouldn’t see the sun tomorrow…

Wen Xin sat in her chair, looking at Berry who had removed his mask, with her eyebrows slightly raised.

“What a disgrace! You’re already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet you act like a little kid, throwing a tantrum when you say you will. Haven’t I been fair to you? You’ve made at least three billion, aren’t you satisfied?”
