“The cold of the night couldn’t be determined. The fate of those missing people from before, whether they’re alive or dead now, he couldn’t assure.
Hearing these words, Ye Wǎnwǎn fell into silence.
Indeed, Jì Xiūrǎn had hypnotized her before, destroying all memories she had about him.
Although Ye Wǎnwǎn didn’t understand why Jì Xiūrǎn did this, there was at least one thing she understood: Jì Xiūrǎn had never harmed her, and his help since she arrived in the Independent State had been abundant.
Without Jì Xiūrǎn, perhaps she wouldn’t have been able to survive in the Independent State.
Deep down, Ye Wǎnwǎn couldn’t accept the possibility of Jì Xiūrǎn being killed. He was too mysterious, like a mist in chaos, impossible to predict. How could someone like that be in danger?
Before Ye Wǎnwǎn could say anything to Sī Yèhán, a member of the Fearless Alliance reported from outside the door, “Leader… I didn’t mean to disturb, but Lord Nie Wúmíng is here…”
“Nie… Lord Nie Wúmíng?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn was slightly stunned. Since when did Nie Wúmíng become a lord?
“Leader, it’s your brother Nie Wúmíng who wants us to call him ‘Lord.’ We have no choice…”
Outside the door, members of the Fearless Alliance said helplessly.
…
“Sister, I’m coming in!”
Suddenly, Nie Wúmíng’s voice came from outside, and the next moment, the door was opened.
“Brother-in-law, busy?”
Nie Wúmíng strode in, first glanced at Ye Wǎnwǎn, then turned his gaze to Sī Yèhán.
His question was quite skillful…
“You two continue, I have something to attend to.”
Seeing Nie Wúmíng’s arrival, Sī Yèhán slowly stood up and said to Ye Wǎnwǎn.
“Sure.”
Ye Wǎnwǎn nodded.
As Sī Yèhán turned to leave, Nie Wúmíng hurriedly said, “Brother-in-law, why are you leaving so quickly? How about having dinner together tonight?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn: “…”
Damn, this brother-in-law!
While Nie Wúmíng was speaking, Sī Yèhán had already walked away.
“Tell me!”
Ye Wǎnwǎn impatiently stared at Nie Wúmíng. He never brought good news whenever he came.
“Sister, do you remember what you said before about finding those missing people?” Nie Wúmíng began.
“And then?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn glanced at Nie Wúmíng. So what if she remembered? Could Nie Wúmíng actually help her? That seemed unlikely.
“Listen, I…”
Nie Wúmíng looked around cautiously, lowered his voice, and said, “I’ve found that place!”
“You’ve found the place where they’re held captive?”
Surprised by Nie Wúmíng’s words, Ye Wǎnwǎn couldn’t believe it.
“Of course, I found it! Otherwise, why would I urgently disturb you and your brother-in-law… hehe.” Nie Wúmíng looked at Ye Wǎnwǎn with an exaggerated expression.
What does that ‘hehe’ mean?
“Where is it exactly?” Ye Wǎnwǎn hurriedly asked.
“It’s on a small island not far from the Independent State. I have the coordinates, but it’s heavily guarded all around!”
Nie Wúmíng said.
Ye Wǎnwǎn thought for a moment. What Nie Wúmíng said should match what Ā Jiǔ mentioned about that island.
“How did you discover it?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn looked at Nie Wúmíng, her face full of curiosity.
“It wasn’t me who discovered it,” Nie Wúmíng smiled slightly. “It was my husband whom I secretly followed before.”
