Chapter 2162: It’s you surprisingly
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
During this period of time, the Independent State was oddly peaceful, and nothing major happened with both the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance.
Ye Wanwan dispatched a lot of manpower from the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance to look into Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie’s whereabouts while Asura continued to investigate the island they previously discovered.
The only noteworthy finding was that Dead Man quietly left at some unknown point after Nameless Nie left, disappearing from Ye Wanwan’s sight, so Taoist Devotee, Spray of Flowers, and Brick-moving Foreigner had been searching for Dead Man’s whereabouts.
Ye Wanwan felt a trace of confusion regarding Dead Man’s departure, not knowing what he was up to. Could it be… he was cultivating in seclusion to foster a gu insect that could raise a person from the dead?
Of course, that was merely a fleeting thought, and Ye Wanwan didn’t think into it more deeply unrealistically.
“Ah-Jiu… how’s your investigation going?”
In the early morning, Ye Wanwan called Si Yehan.
“There will be news within three days,” Si Yehan responded.
After chatting with Si Yehan for a moment, Ye Wanwan hung up.
Since Si Yehan was looking into the island every day and didn’t stay at Asura’s headquarters too much, Ye Wanwan picked Tangtang back up, and Si Yehan visited the Nie residence whenever he was free.
Right now, everyone in the Independent State knew about Lord Asura’s relationship with the Nie family, so Si Yehan visiting the Nie residence was par for the course.
Ye Wanwan had just hung up when some unhurried knocking came from the door.
“The door’s unlocked, enter.”
As Ye Wanwan called out, she looked a bit confused. Who would come to the Nie residence study to seek her out this early in the morning…?
The door to the study was pushed open.
“It’s you?!”
When Ye Wanwan saw the newcomer, her brows instantly furrowed.
The visitor wasn’t a stranger—it was the Vice President of the Martial Arts Union…
“Heh… Miss Worriless, I have something to discuss with you,” the Vice President of the Martial Arts Union greeted her with a light chuckle.
“How did you enter the Nie residence?” Ye Wanwan wore an apathetic expression.
“The Nie residence…? I can naturally enter it whenever I want to. Back then, I could even take away Emperor Ji and the leader of Heavenly Owl, so the Nie residence… naturally isn’t difficult to impenetrate,” the Vice President replied.
“The Martial Arts Union…” Ye Wanwan narrowed her eyes.
In other words, it was the Martial Arts Union that abducted Ji Xiuran and the leader of Heavenly Owl, Haitang…
Although Ye Wanwan previously suspected the Martial Arts Union, it was mere suspicion and she actually suspected the Direct Line the most. She never expected the Martial Arts Union to really be the culprit.
“So, Miss Worriless, will you leave with me or… will I have to take you with me?” the Vice President asked with a smirk.
“You?”
Ye Wanwan slowly stood up, her eyes intently focused on the Vice President. “You’re indeed very strong for being able to abduct Ji Xiuran and Haitang… However, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for you to abduct me.”
“Heh, I’ll have to try and see, am I right?” The Vice President strode toward Ye Wanwan.
“You’re dead!” Ye Wanwan’s eyes glinted coldly, and she swung her fist at the man.
Ye Wanwan and the Vice President’s fists collided, producing a stifled sound.
When they exchanged blows, Ye Wanwan managed to make some calculations.
The Vice President of the Martial Arts Union was indeed very strong… but it would be a fairytale for him to abduct her from the Nie residence.
