Chapter 1996 - Good sister

Big Dipper had his mouth agape, clueless about this current situation.

Since Ye Wanwan didn’t say anything, he had no choice but to dumbfoundedly carry a chair and place it next to Ye Wanwan.

After Nameless Nie sat down, Ye Wanwan immediately asked, “Why did you follow Ji Xiuran’s people here instead of following the Nie family’s people here?”

Ye Wanwan really couldn’t comprehend this. Nameless Nie was at least the Nie family’s eldest son; did he have to go to this extent?

“Tch, they wouldn’t bring me, so what could I do? I could only follow Old Pal Ji’s people here,” Nameless Nie answered.

“Why did you come here?” Ye Wanwan was curious.

“To investigate my Old Pal Ji’s whereabouts, of course, and to see if there are any deals I can strike and earn some money and such.” Nameless Nie grinned.

Ye Wanwan: “…”

So investigating Ji Xiuran’s whereabouts was a coverup, and looking for some business to earn money was the real deal, right?

Ye Wanwan’s heart immensely ached for Ji Xiuran. Just what kind of friend did he make?!

“Oh right, good sister…” Nameless Nie naturally draped his arm around Ye Wanwan’s neck and leaned in next to her ear before saying, “Um, how’s your search for the antidote coming along? I’m truly beside myself with worry and heartache for you… Dead Man told me you don’t have much time left…”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

What the heck is “You don’t have much time left”? Can’t you filter yourself?

Watching Nameless Nie latching his arm around Ye Wanwan’s neck, a bone-chilling gaze shot from a certain man’s eyes and pierced Nameless Nie.

When Ye Wanwan sensed this icy chill, she couldn’t help but shiver.

D*mn it, Vinegar Factory Owner is starting to produce vinegar by the tons again! But this is my actual brother…

Ye Wanwan had no choice but to naturally and inadvertently return Nameless Nie’s arm to stop a certain someone from producing vinegar.

Ye Wanwan didn’t know if it was her misperception, but ever since she left the Fearless Alliance this morning, she felt something was wrong with her body. “Doesn’t this lousy place have any air conditioning? Why do I feel so hot?”

Nameless Nie was baffled. “It’s the middle of winter. What air conditioning?”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

Then why did she feel like an inferno was burning through her…? Especially when her eyes met Si Yehan’s…Read the next chapter on our novelhall.com

This entire time, that guy had an expression so frosty it formed icicles.

What Ye Wanwan didn’t notice was a handful of thin, light red lines faintly appearing on her neck and gradually spreading like a spider web…

The final moment before the conference began, the members of the Shen family also arrived hastily.

Aside from the Shen family, even the most low-profile of the four great clans, the Ling family, sent a representative there.

The Ling family’s representative was a middle-aged man. When the man entered the room, he couldn’t help but take a few more looks at Ye Wanwan.

When Ye Wanwan detected the man’s gaze, she immediately looked over as well, but the man had already looked away and sat unmoving on his chair.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xie Qianchuan and Jiang Lihen’s eyes met before quickly announcing the start of the meeting.

“Prison is very grateful that everyone was able to come here today,” Xie Qianchuan began.

Jiang Lihen spoke next. “Due to recent events, the topic of this meeting required a little adjustment. Everyone should know a certain event has been occurring in the Independent State. A dozen or so good friends, including Emperor Ji, went missing mysteriously. We believe it absolutely isn’t a simple matter…”

Ye Wanwan glanced at Jiang Lihen. Jiang Lihen had to be commended for having a silver tongue. Good friends? He probably had never even seen some of these people.
