“Two identical rings, indeed quite puzzling. Ye Wanwan could be certain that these two rings definitely had a significant connection. If she could find the origin of one of them, perhaps she could uncover the true history and purpose of the ring she was wearing.
Previously, Si Yehan had mentioned that this ring was personally given to him by Ye Wanwan and was her most cherished accessory. Combined with the fact that experts from Huaxia had tried to snatch it, Ye Wanwan was extremely curious about the ring’s purpose and its true origin.
“This side… it was indeed made by the Alliance Leader…”
The Elder stepped forward and stared at the gold and silver jewelry, antique jade artifacts, lost in thought.
“Do you remember where it came from?” Ye Wanwan asked the Elder.
“The Alliance Leader and I have only joined forces two or three times… I do have some recollection…” The Elder stared at the cabinet, pondering. “It seems like we stole it from the Shen family…”
“The Shen family?” Ye Wanwan was slightly taken aback.
Before Ye Wanwan could say anything else, the Elder shook his head. “No, the time we stole from the Shen family, it was all gold bars…”
“…” Ye Wanwan fell silent.
“Oh… I remember now, this wasn’t something we stole.” The Elder spoke up.
“If we didn’t steal it… then where did it come from?” Ye Wanwan was slightly puzzled.
“Alliance Leader, have you forgotten? We stole it…” The Elder stared at Ye Wanwan and smiled faintly. “It’s been a few years now.”
“Stole… stole?! How come I didn’t know? When did the Fearless Alliance become so shameless… doing such dishonest things… I never thought we would stoop to such thieving behavior.” Bei Dou looked at the Elder and Ye Wanwan, his face filled with shock.
Though the Fearless Alliance wasn’t on the righteous path, they never stooped to petty theft.
“Petty theft?” Hearing Bei Dou’s words, the Elder glanced at him. “You seem to have some misunderstanding about that word, don’t you?”
Ye Wanwan subconsciously looked at the entire cabinet, filled with dazzling jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings… they were far from petty…
Bei Dou stared at the cabinet and fell into silence. After a while, he suddenly realized, “Master Thief!”
Ye Wanwan couldn’t be bothered with Bei Dou and turned to the Elder, asking, “Elder, do you remember where we… stole it from?”
“I do.” The Elder nodded. “We only stole once, it was from the Nie family.”
“The Nie family…”
Hearing the Elder’s words, Ye Wanwan looked puzzled. Why would they go and steal from the Nie family…
Their focus seemed to be off. It should be why the Nie family had an identical ring.
“Hey… Feng Jie, how did the ring become two?” Bei Dou stared at the ring on Ye Wanwan’s finger and then glanced at the one she was holding, his face filled with curiosity.
“Elder, take a look at this ring.” Ye Wanwan handed the ring she had taken from the cabinet to the Elder.
Immediately, the Elder took the ring, carefully examining it. After a moment, he spoke, “This ring is indeed very similar to the one you have on your finger, Alliance Leader, but they are not entirely the same.”
“Oh…” Ye Wanwan was slightly surprised.
“Firstly, the materials of the rings are completely different. The one you’re wearing is much more valuable. Secondly, the craftsmanship, although this ring is also exquisitely made, it’s at least two grades lower compared to the one you’re wearing
… And finally, the engravings on the back of the ring, there are a few additional patterns. It’s not easy to distinguish unless you look closely.”
