Chapter 639: Chapter 638: Time cannot be turned back; we can only follow one path until the end.
âI can only say I can give him a chance, but if youâre expecting me to pull strings for him, I might have to disappoint you. I really canât decide that, Iâm very sorry!â
Alfredoâs words were measured, yet they increasingly soured the expression on Old Fox Wenâs face.
He snorted coldly, turned around with his grandson, and walked out of Alfredoâs office. He was determined to find a way to get Wen Suiqian into the Elders Council; then it wouldnât be just something Alfredo could decide on his own.
After Old Master Wen left in annoyance, Sun Ning leaned lazily against a desk nearby, a smirk on his face as if enjoying the spectacle.
âLook at you, suddenly so tough. I almost donât recognize you.â
âStop with the wisecracks; heâs the sort of person who wonât give up. Heâll always find a way to cause trouble. Go do what you need to do, whatever you want to do. Donât stay hereâ I can take care of my own wounds.â
Alfredo straightened his clothes and returned to his usual upright and serious demeanor. He sat down behind his desk and began dealing with those annoying matters.
After watching Alfredo for a while, Sun Ning stood up and tidied his medical kit, âSince thatâs the case, Iâll go take care of my own business. You deal with your things slowly; weâll meet again if we get the chance!â
With those words, Sun Ning picked up his belongings and walked towards the door. As he reached the doorway, he seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned to look at Alfredo.
âI forgot to tell you, the little princess seems to be cooperating with Moore. If you want to know, you can ask Moore yourself.â
âThanks for the heads-up, but itâs not necessary. The little princess doesnât like others meddling in her affairs. In her world, Iâm already a villain who stops at nothing for his own gainâthereâs no need to bother her anymore. I already have more than I can handle.â
âAnd as for Mooreâs attitude toward me⊠you know it as well, we canât be friends anymore.â
Alfredo spoke nonchalantly, as if it didnât matter. Ever since he took this position, he had already missed out on too much.
Time cannot be turned back, and he had resolved to stick to this path to the end, not expecting anything more.
Sun Ning looked at Alfredo and ultimately said nothing else; he simply opened the office door and left.
After Sun Ning had departed, Bald watched Alfredo working seriously at his desk and sighed softly; as a subordinate, he had no chance to speak up, but his concern was genuine.
âYou should go out as well, I need some quiet,â Alfredo said.
Alfredo didnât need to look up to know what Bald was thinking; he didnât need anyone to worry about him. He was prepared to go all in, nothing else mattered.
In the early morning, Wen Xin sat on the bed, looking at Mu Chengxiâs complexion. Her fingers touched Mu Chengxiâs wrist, her brows slightly furrowed.
âHow come you were fine yesterday and have a fever this morning?â
Wen Xinâs fingers pressed on Mu Chengxiâs pulse. She felt that Mu Chengxiâs pulse was nothing unusual and couldnât understand why he had a fever.
âI donât know, maybe I caught a cold when I went out last night? Donât worry about me, Iâll just sleep a bit more and should be fine.â
Mu Chengxi turned lethargically on the bed and pulled Wen Xin into his embrace, nuzzling against her shoulder, ready to continue sleeping.
Wen Xin frowned as she looked at Mu Chengxi, feeling that something was not quite right. She grabbed his arm and dragged him out of bed.
âI canât be at ease until we get you checked out at the hospital, hurry up and get up, Iâll have Mu Bei prepare the car.â
In Independent State, Wen Xin had been worried that certain people might resort to extreme measures against Mu Chengxi, given the abundance of biological agents there, and she feared the slightest negligence could compromise his health.
During her time in Independent State, she had also conducted a blood test for Mu Chengxi, but nothing unusual had been discovered. This sudden fever made it impossible for Wen Xin not to be anxious.
Wen Xin, dragging Mu Chengxi, helped him to wash up, then got him dressed and led him out of the bedroom.
By this time, Mu Bei was already waiting in the living room for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi. When Mu Bei had hurried over, he had run into Mu Chengxu, who, upon hearing of Mu Chengxiâs sudden fever, also became anxious and came running over.
Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi out of the bedroom; he appeared somewhat lethargic, but otherwise, there was no cause for alarm.
âWhy did you suddenly get a fever? Werenât you fine just yesterday?â Mu Chengxu, concerned, walked over to Mu Chengxi, placed his hand on his forehead, and turned to Wen Xin with a worried expression.
âI donât know. His pulse seemed normal, but Iâm worried it could be some kind of inflammatory issue. Iâm planning to take him to the hospital for a checkup. Sister, do you have time? If you do, come with us. If not, Mu Bei and I can go.â
As Wen Xin was dressing Mu Chengxi, she had already called Nan Xu, who was now waiting for them at the hospital. They could go directly there with Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxu had planned to attend a meeting at the company, but upon hearing of Mu Chengxiâs discomfort, she immediately canceled all her schedules.
âIâm free. Iâll accompany you to the hospital. Wen Xin, go put on a coat for yourself, and get one for him too. Weâll sneak out through the back yard to avoid alarming grandma.â
âOkay, good. Then sister, take Mu Chengxi to the car first, Iâll come find you right away.â
Wen Xin turned back into the bedroom to grab a coat for Mu Chengxi, then hurried to the backyard, got into the car that Mu Bei had parked in advance, and swiftly left the Mu familyâs old mansion.
On the way to the hospital, Mu Chengxiâs phone rangâit was a call from Jiang Linyan. Wen Xin didnât even think before hanging up the call.
She was in no mood to deal with anything else, worried and upset about why Mu Chengxi was running a fever.

After Wen Xin hung up, Mu Chengxiâs phone vibrated once again. Wen Xin picked it up and saw another message from Jiang Linyan.
âChengxi, I heard that my fatherâs issue is related to you. You can raise any conditions, and Iâll agree to them, as long as you back off and spare my father.â
As she read the message from Jiang Linyan, Wen Xinâs beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at Mu Chengxi, who was resting with his eyes closed on her shoulder.
âWhat does Jiang Deshengâs situation have to do with you? Why would Jiang Linyan think it was your doing?â
Mu Chengxi didnât open his eyes, his head aching from the fever as he rubbed gently against Wen Xinâs body.
