Ye Wanwan sighed. Right now, their position was too passive and there were too many traps and murky situations they couldn’t ward off.
It was like there was a pair of giant hands around them. They had to find a way to escape this situation.
“Any successes?” Ye Wanwan asked, looking at Third Elder again.
Third Elder nodded. “President, we followed Nie Linglong to the territory outside of the Independent State, where she met up with a man. Nie Linglong said that the Nie family was starting to suspect her, and it wasn’t possible for her to overturn the Nie family now. However, that man ordered Nie Linglong to figure out a way to steal a pair of rings from you.”
Ye Wanwan turned pensive.
The mysterious man… wanted to steal her rings.
Ye Wanwan currently didn’t know about the origin of the rings, but she was certain they were out of the ordinary.
The experts she previously encountered in China who tried to steal her ring were probably ordered by this mysterious man Third Elder was referring to.
“A mysterious man… Third Elder, are you certain it was a man?” Ye Wanwan inquired.
Third Elder was startled briefly before promptly nodding. “I’m certain.”
“Then did you see that mysterious man’s appearance clearly?”
“Um…” Third Elder recalled the scene for a moment before shaking his head. “President, the man Nie Linglong met concealed his face and it was late at night, so we couldn’t see his face or figure clearly at all.”
“Since their face was concealed and you didn’t clearly see their appearance or figure, how are you certain it was a man?” Ye Wanwan asked, hitting the nail on the head.
Third Elder was dumbstruck. “But… it was a man’s voice, President.”
“En, got it. Go back and rest.” Ye Wanwan waved her hand at Third Elder.
“Alright, then I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Third Elder nodded and left the office.
After he left, Ye Wanwan fell into contemplation.
It was conventional thinking that made Third Elder think he saw a man, but whether the mysterious person was a man or a woman required further observation.
As for Nie Linglong, she was completely exposed now, so she probably wouldn’t return to the Nie residence for the foreseeable future.
Right now, what was most important was for her to return to the Scarlet Flames Academy and get the headmaster to help her regain her memories.
She couldn’t remember the bits and pieces that belonged to Worriless Nie and a lot of other matters. If she knew everything, perhaps the current situation would be different.
That night, Ye Wanwan used Worriless Nie’s identity to call Elder Gong, who was far away at Scarlet Flames Academy.
On the phone, Elder Gong sounded indescribably excited.
The news that the President of the Fearless Alliance was Worriless Nie had spread to every corner of the Independent State, and everyone knew about it.
Ye Wanwan agreed with Elder Gong that she would return to Scarlet Flames Academy tomorrow.
…
The next day:
Ye Wanwan made Seven Star drive her to Scarlet Flames Academy.
The entrance of Scarlet Flames Academy was packed with people.
News about President Fearless, AKA the once demon instructor of Scarlet Flames Academy, Worriless Nie, had raged across the Academy like wildfire overnight.
In front of the gates, Elder Gong looked incredibly emotional as he stared at Ye Wanwan.
“D*mn, that’s Senior Sister Worriless? These looks… tsk tsk, I really couldn’t tell. She could clearly rely on her face to make a living, but she just relied on her real strength…”
“What the h*ll do you know? Back then, Senior Sister Worriless was our Scarlet Flames’ demon instructor and taught many outstanding top-notch mercenaries!”
