Chapter 598: Why Are You So Cruel to Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I just asked you to marry me, and you react so strongly. Don’t you care about Mu Chengxi’s life?” Alfredo said.
“I do care about Mu Chengxi’s life. Don’t you care about your family’s life? Have you forgotten I destroyed the Jason family and the office building? With just one bomb, your family will become history in the Independent State. Do you want to see who’s faster, you or me?”
Wen Xin’s fierce gaze was locked on Alfredo. She only wanted Mu Chengxi and didn’t care about anything else, but Alfredo chose to provoke her.
“Miss, don’t be impulsive. I know where he is. Put down the gun, and I’ll take you to him,” the bald man who burst into Alfredo’s study urged Wen Xin to lower her weapon, trying to stop her from acting rashly.
“Don’t speak,” Alfredo shot a cold look at the bald man, preventing him from revealing Mu Chengxi’s location. Alfredo was infuriated, jealous that Mu Chengxi had Wen Xin’s favor.
“You’re willing to compromise for him, so why can’t you see me? I love you too,” Alfredo’s voice was low and filled with pain, sweat trickling down his face.
“I don’t want your love, but I can take your life anytime. Don’t push me,”
Wen Xin pressed the cold barrel of the gun against Alfredo’s forehead, her finger slightly tightening on the trigger, scaring the bald man standing nearby.
“I have a map. The person you’re looking for is in a basement at a warehouse in the north,” the bald man, knowing Wen Xin’s temper and that she would carry out her threats, showed her a map on his phone to prevent her from pulling the trigger.
Moore took the phone from the bald man, checked the location, and then spoke gently to Wen Xin, “Let’s go rescue him first. We’ll settle this later.”
Moore pulled Wen Xin’s arm and led her out of Alfredo’s study.
Once they confirmed the North Cloud Top Warehouse, Moore decided that driving would take too long, so he arranged for two helicopters.
He boarded the helicopter with Wen Xin, and during the flight, Chu Yunxuan held Wen Xin’s hand, trying to calm her down. Wen Xin had seen photos of Mu Chengxi taken by the doctor in Alfredo’s house, and the sight of him in such a miserable state, which she had never seen before, filled her with rage. He was a distinguished young master from the capital; how could they treat him like this? She vowed to kill them all herself.
“Have you found out where Jason’s second son is? Is he in that warehouse too?” Wen Xin’s voice, though somewhat calmer, was still tinged with urgency due to lack of sleep and anxiety.
“No news yet. The people we left at the castle are on their way there, but they won’t be as fast as us. Don’t worry, I will catch those people for you,” Moore reassured.
“There’s no need to dirty your hands. Once we land, stay outside with your men. I’ve memorized the map; I’ll go in with Chu Yunxuan and Wales. You need to stay in Independent State, and you don’t have to make enemies for my sake,” Wen Xin’s voice was serious, trying to avoid dragging Moore into deeper trouble.
She only wanted Moore to help her investigate some information, but now it seemed that it was no longer as simple as investigating information, so it was enough to help her up to this point. Any more and she would be causing trouble for Moore.
Moore smiled, “Don’t forget your status. You are the Eldest daughter of Independent State. Those old guys might try to meddle, but in the end, they still have to submit to you.”
“With you around, why should I fear trouble? You’ve got my back, right? My father’s biggest regret before he died was not being able to protect your parents. If he knew I let you go on your own, he wouldn’t acknowledge me no matter how well I developed the Taros family.”
“Since I decided to help you, I’m not afraid of offending anyone. I only know that I’m the Earl of Independent State, and my faith is to protect my young lady. I’m not like Alfredo; I have no ambition, so I’m not afraid!”
Wen Xin looked into Moore’s clear blue eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then murmured, “Thank you…”
The helicopter descended swiftly over the Cloud Top Warehouse. Despite the reaction of the people inside, they couldn’t escape being surrounded.
Wen Xin slid down the rope, landing on the warehouse roof. She held a gun, shooting with precision, hitting her targets one by one. In an instant, over ten armed guards were taken down by her.
Wen Xin jumped through the warehouse skylight, with Moore and Chu Yunxuan following hesitantly. Seeing their hesitation, Wen Xin calmly suggested, “There are stairs on the side. You go down; I’ll go ahead.”
Wen Xin changed her magazine and walked resolutely towards the basement.
The warehouse alarm went off, and armed men rushed towards the warehouse. Chu Yunxuan and Wales exchanged a glance, then jumped down the skylight, hurrying to find weapons to protect Wen Xin.
Moore, seeing the approaching enemies, sent a voice message to his subordinates, “Bring everyone here. Don’t leave a single one alive. Take them all down.”
At his command, over ten black SUVs stormed in, illuminating the vast warehouse area like daylight. After firing the first shot from the warehouse roof, Moore watched the ensuing gunfire exchange, the intensity of which made even the seasoned Chu Yunxuan and Wales frown.
The Independent State people were indeed ruthless, acting with deadly seriousness.
In the dimly lit basement room, Mu Chengxi slowly opened his cold eyes at the sound of the commotion outside. He had regained some strength but was still unable to break free from the interrogation chair. He couldn’t believe someone had come to rescue him and began seeking an opportunity for self-rescue, pushing his broken body to its limits.
“Hey, do you hear that outside? Is it gunfire?”
