As far as Yun Xi knew, there was only one exception of such a man in China. He possessed the most unique identity, held dual roles, was involved in two circles, used dual identities, and was born of a noble background!
He was the figure who had a god-like existence in China-Mu Feichi.
In Jingdu, there were three great noble families and four incredibly wealthy families with centuries of history.
Mu Feichi was the youngest clan leader of one of the three wealthy families, the Mu Clan. Mu Chongli was already a legendary character in Jingdu, but Mu Feichi was the son who had surpassed his father!
At a young age, he had made enough achievements to stand equally alongside his father.
In the entirety of Jingdu, Mu Feichi was the only one allowed to use the title of "Master Mu." As soon as the name "Master Mu" was mentioned, nearly everyone knew who was being referred to.
There was only one such major figure in China to be the youngest person to cross both circles.
Yun Xi had never expected that she would be trespassing into this man's territory as soon as she was reborn again!
She looked over, and, at that moment, her dark, glossy eyes collided with the other pair of eerie, eagle eyes; his lofty aura immediately commanded solemn respect.
Her heart rate increased rapidly.
Crouching down to pick up a shard of glass from the broken cup, she licked the water inside the groove and the faintly bitter taste permeated the tip of her tongue.
She had spent half her previous life inside a laboratory. As soon as she tasted it, she instantly knew what this apparently colorless and tasteless substance was.
There wasn't a high level of scopolamine, and it was very difficult to purify in this era. Presumably, Han Wanling spent much effort to get her hands on this.
"The water was definitely spiked by someone!"
She turned around to look at Mu Feichi, then her eyes finally locked on to Han Wanling's guilty face.
Han Wanling truly had no fear, since she hadn't even considered her target carefully before spiking the drink. If someone like Mu Feichi really had fallen into her trap, then he certainly wouldn't have allowed her to live through this.
No one enjoyed being tricked or used, nor did anyone enjoy being controlled by others. This was especially the case for a person with a unique identity like Mu Feichi.
They were accustomed to having control, so they wouldn't allow someone else to have the chance to control them.
However, Mu Feichi's sharp gaze fell upon Yun Xi's figure. There was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
This young girl could actually taste the drug in the water?
Han Wanling instantly panicked when the word "spike" was mentioned.
"No... Master Mu, I didn't do it! I never even touched your glass of water!"
She knew that he was a germaphobe who would never touch something that someone he didn't trust had touched before. That's why she merely dropped the drug along the wall of the glass!
Yun Xi squinted her eyes slightly and smiled with innocence. "I think we are the only three people in this house?"
Han Wanling suddenly whirled around to glare at Yun Xi, anxious to cover up her tracks.
"Stop speaking nonsense! What would a puny girl like you even know? Don't even dream of framing me for this!"
"Who did I frame?"
Yin Xi raised a brow and winked as she sat on the couch with an innocent expression. She crossed her legs and watched Han Wanling continue to dig a deeper grave for herself.
With such poor acting skills, she was truly making it more obvious the more she tried to hide!
Was she actually treating Mu Feichi like an i***t?
She remembered that Han Wanling's acting skills had been quite good in her last life!
When Han Wanling had colluded with her mother-who had climbed her way up as a mistress-to harm Yun Xi, their tricks came one after another. It was enough material to act out a bitter drama!
Why did Han Wanling's intelligence fail so badly when Yun Xi had met her earlier on in this new life?
"There are only three of us here. If you aren't framing me, then are you claiming that Master Mu was the one to spike his own drink with a date r**e drug?"
Yun Xi snickered quietly, and her eyes curved into little crescents. She propped her chin up as she leaned against the sofa and reminded Han Wanling suggestively.
"I didn't say it was a date r**e drug. You're going to admit it yourself so soon?"
"You..." Han Wanling suddenly realized she had a slip of the tongue, but it was already too late to take the words back.
Mu Feichi clenched his hands into tight fists as he endured the burning heat inside his body.
The tiny effect of the drug wasn't enough to knock him out, but his icy gaze fell upon the young girl before his eyes.
This girl was very smart, so she was able to lead Han Wanling into confessing after taking her in a circle.
But it was likely because of her young age that she didn't yet know how to conceal her emotions.
Did he seem to detect a hint of gloating on this girl's face?
Her eyes were lively and unblemished, so crisp, that they sparkled like stars. Yet they were devious like a fox's.
He turned around to press the alarm on the wall and the bodyguards outside quickly rushed in.
"Throw her into the woods to feed the wolves!" Mu Feichi pointed to Han Wanling as he commanded icily.
"Yes! Master Mu!"
"No... Master Mu, I didn't do it... I wasn't the one to do it... This wretched girl is framing me!"
Han Wanling wasn't dumb enough to voluntarily admit that she had tricked Mu Feichi.
Admitting it was tantamount to death!
But Han Wanling also panicked when she heard about the wolf pack in the woods; she was so frightened, that she directly knelt on the ground.
"I don't even know you and haven't ever held grudges against anybody lately. Why would I want to frame you?"
Yun Xi looked at the French windows the bodyguards had opened and was deathly afraid the snow leopard would bound inside.
She hadn't planned on getting involved but merely stepped in to lead Han Wanling into a confession. That way, Yun Xi would earn a right to speak before Mu Feichi and be able to spare Han Wanling's life.
If Han Wanling was fed to the wolves now, then there would be Han family drama to play out in the future.
Yun Xi must keep control of the situation in this life!
For all the pain she suffered, she would return it ten-fold to all of them!
Within Yun Xi's eyes, Mu Feichi noticed cruelty not relative to her young age. He was both surprised and a bit curious.
"Master Mu, I really wasn't the one to do it! It was her! She's framing me! Just look at the entire Jingdu-what woman doesn't like or admire you? This b*tch obviously failed to seduce you, that's why she purposely blamed it on me!"
Han Wanling had used much effort to sneak into this forest, so she had no idea why Yun Xi would have appeared here.
She probably wouldn't have raised such a ruckus if she knew.
No one would risk their lives to battle against wolves in order to seduce Master Mu.
It would be impossible to use the ploy of a "thief crying out thief" in front of Mu Feichi.
Yun Xi laughed out loud. "Master Mu, cut her flesh with a blunt knife to better avenge the humiliation you suffered today!"
"You... you want to cut my flesh?! You b*tch! What right do you have to point your fingers in front of Master Mu?! Clearly, you're the one who framed me!"
As Han Wanling said this, she glared bitterly at Yun Xi. Her poisonous look could have almost ripped multiple holes into Yun Xi's body.
Yun Xi knew that Mu Feichi could understand what her words meant, so she smiled subtly without offering an additional explanation.
She finally remembered it now: in her last life, Han Wanling had overdosed Mu Feichi and caused him to pass out. When he had regained consciousness, the first thing he had done was to target the Hans.
In order to climb into Mu Feichi's bed, Han Wanling had certainly gambled everything. She had even wagered all the lives of the members of the Han family.
And this man, who had been known as the Master Mu of the Empire, certainly had had means of revenge incomparable to all the ancients and predecessors, so he was known to be absolutely ruthless.
He had used the hostile forces within the Hans inner workings to grind away the Hans influence and wealth, bit by bit. Finally, he had cornered them with no escape route.
Han Wanling and Qiao Ximin had taken the opportunity to empty the funds for the South District Project and colluded to frame Yun Xi for the crime!
In order to rectify the Han Corporation's internal financial crisis, she desperately had worked to research new products and even used her own body as a test subject!
After having experienced Han Yaotian's betrayal in her previous life, she would definitely never be a fool again in her reborn life!
She wouldn't allow them to die too easily.
If they had stayed alive, they could better suffer the dirtiest sins and pain of this world.
Mu Feichi swept his hand and his dark eyes flashed with an icy glint, "Throw her outside and tell Han Hongbin that his daughter offended me! Also, bring your captain's head to see me if you allow another insignificant person in here again!"
"Yes." The bodyguards immediately carried a limp Han Wanling outside.
The living room grew quiet once again.
Yun Xi glanced at the man and instinctively wanted to bolt. The drug was about to take effect!
Although the drug wasn't a very high purity, and the term aphrodisiac was not yet used in this era, date r**e drugs could be considered the prototype for aphrodisiacs.
Even if he was a man made of iron, he wouldn't be able to overcome the drug once it took effect!
She was the only woman here. If she didn't run now, she'd be the one to suffer if she stayed behind!
