Chengxi glanced at the phone stuck to his face, lifted Wen Xin off the cabinet, and went into the bathroom to wash his hands.

While Mu Chengxi was putting on his shoes, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Truth Listener’s internal software. Leaning against the wall lazily, Wen Xin opened the app and glanced at the internal message group.

Yan Qing: “Doll, the recent events have caused quite a stir. After being inactive for over a year, the Doll suddenly created a cybersecurity system for the Independent State, making everyone uneasy. They think the Doll has joined the Independent State.”

Siam: “The Independent State might wish for that, but the Doll’s sudden move is intriguing.”

Yan Yu: “Doll, @Doll, aren’t you interested in explaining yourself? Does your reputation hold any sway in the Independent State?”

Siam: “The Doll is probably still sleeping. Let her handle it when she wakes up. The Doll’s hype needs to be toned down; she doesn’t seem keen on associating with the Independent State.”

Yan Qing: “Understood, I’ll handle the follow-up.”

Reading the messages, Wen Xin smiled faintly. It was amusing how her small actions could attract so much attention.

“Let’s get some food first, then have Mu Bei prepare some gifts before we visit Yuan Junye,” Mu Chengxi said, holding Wen Xin’s hand and leading her out of the house with car keys in hand.

Wen Xin put away her phone, looking up at Mu Chengxi with a mischievous smile. “Is Continent F peaceful recently?”

From Wen Xin’s previous memories, Continent F was quite chaotic and required Mu Chengxi’s attention. Seeing him so relaxed, it seemed things had calmed down.

“Continent F? It’s pretty stable now. Mu Dong is handling things there, so it’s not urgent. However, your people have been restless lately. Do you want the racetrack in the western suburbs?”

Mu Chengxi’s dark eyes seriously looked at Wen Xin, a playful smile on his face.

“The racetrack situation is complicated. If you want it, you’ll have to deal with Qian Meng. I can close the racetrack, but I can’t secure it for you.”

Mu Chengxi opened the car door for Wen Xin, helping her into the passenger seat before circling around to the driver’s side and starting the car.

“I know, but Qian Meng has been avoiding Chu Yunxuan. I don’t want the racetrack anymore. Is Qian Meng’s backing related to the Independent State?” Wen Xin asked.

The Qian family was the only family in Beijing not afraid of the Mu family, indicating they were not simple. She had looked into the Qian family but found nothing substantial.

“No, it’s not the Independent State. Although they have connections, their real backing is an ancient martial family,” Mu Chengxi explained. “f they could really rope in the Independent Continent, the Qian Family might be even more arrogant than they are now.”

“This ancient martial family is the oldest and most powerful in Beijing. When the Independent State’s forces invaded Beijing, the family chose to retreat, leaving only a branch, the Qian family.”

“Before the Independent State altered Beijing’s landscape, the Qian family was at the top of the hierarchy, even surpassing the former Mu family. Later, the Independent State’s influence gave the Mu family a chance to rise. While we didn’t rely on the Independent State, we benefited from the chaos they caused.”

Wen Xin was surprised by Mu Chengxi’s explanation, not expecting the Qian family to be the oldest noble family in Beijing.

“No wonder I sensed an old-fashioned stubbornness from Qian Meng’s grandfather.”

“Old Qian isn’t a good person, but his stubbornness keeps him from doing anything truly evil.”

“The feud between the Qian and Mu families dates back to my grandfather’s and father’s generation. In the past, although the Mu family was not as good as the Qian family, not everyone was willing to get in touch with the ancient martial arts families. The reputation of the ancient martial arts families was not very good.”

“Elder Qian’s father took a fancy to a girl from a rich family, and that rich family didn’t like ancient martial arts families, so he married the girl to my great-grandfather. Just like that, the Mu family and the Qian family became enemies. ”

“Those who relied on the Independent Continent didn’t rise as quickly as the Mu family. When the Mu family’s rise became too noticeable, the Qian family accused us of using underhanded methods. This feud has persisted to this day.”

Wen Xin nodded thoughtfully at Mu Chengxi’s explanation. “Do you have any information on the ancient martial family?”

“No, they use special communication methods and avoid electronic devices, making them impossible to track. After several failed attempts to contact them, people gave up,” Mu Chengxi replied, parking the car outside a dumpling restaurant. He remembered Wen Xin mentioning she wanted dumplings before her military training.

A luxurious Maybach parked outside an inconspicuous dumpling restaurant attracted many curious glances.

When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi stepped out, the onlookers’ surprise turned to admiration. They had never seen such a strikingly attractive couple, not even in the entertainment industry.

Ignoring the attention, Mu Chengxi led Wen Xin into the restaurant. A woman in her thirties greeted them, surprised to see Mu Chengxi.

“Young Master, what brings you here today? What kind of dumplings would you like? I’ll have the kitchen prepare them.”

Wen Xin, who was looking at her phone, raised her head upon hearing the woman’s address.

The woman smiled warmly at Wen Xin. “You must be Miss Wen. My mother-in-law often mentions you and says you have a sweet tooth.”

The woman’s tone puzzled Wen Xin, who politely smiled back and looked at Mu Chengxi for an introduction.

“This is Auntie Fu’s daughter-in-law. She’s a great cook. Check the menu and see what you want,” Mu Chengxi explained gently.
