Perfect Secret Love

Chapter 2231: The culprit is someone else

"President!"

Before Ye Wanwan could think about it more deeply, Third Elder pushed the door open and entered.

"What is it?" Ye Wanwan turned to Third Elder.

"President, there's an old man here asking to see you by name," Third Elder replied.

"By name?" Ye Wanwan was startled. Which name and which surname?

"He said he wants to see the old president's granddaughter, Worriless Nie." Third Elder appeared to

have guessed what Ye Wanwan was thinking.

"Got it. Bring him inside," Ye Wanwan agreed with a nod.

...

A moment later, an elderly man walked into the office and examined Ye Wanwan for a long while.

"Leave," Ye Wanwan said to Big Dipper and Third Elder.

They nodded and walked out of the office, closing the door behind them.

"Are you... really the old president's granddaughter, Worriless Nie?" the elderly man inquired with a hint

of misgiving.

"The genuine one," Ye Wanwan answered.

"As they say, a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood... You're different than

before." The elderly man sighed. "May I sit down?"

"Sit," Ye Wanwan said.

The elderly man sat down on a chair before asking, "Worriless, do you still remember me?"

"May I ask who you are?" Ye Wanwan wrinkled her brows. She really didn't have any recollection of this

elderly man.

"Years ago, I was responsible for the inner security system in the Martial Arts Union. My name is Wang

Lai," the elderly man replied.

"Wang Lai..." Ye Wanwan looked pensive.

A moment later, her expression shifted. "You're Uncle Wang?"

Back then, there was indeed a member named Wang Lai in the Martial Arts Union. When Ye Wanwan

was bored, she frequently sought him out to get her hands on some gossip.

"That's right, Worriless. I didn't expect you to still remember me..." Wang Lai nodded.

"Why did you seek me out this time, Uncle Wang?" Ye Wanwan cut straight to the chase.

Wang Lai sank into silence and slowly began a long while afterward. "This matter... has been hidden in

my heart for many years. I've actually been searching for you all this time. Thankfully, the Nie family

recently announced that President Fearless was Worriless Nie, so I found out you were back. I visited

the Fearless Alliance several times, but the Fearless Alliance was emptied, and I didn't see you when I

camped near the Nie residence. In the end, I heard you might be here..."

"Uncle Wang, let's not beat around the bush. What is the matter?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"Worriless, it's about the old president." Wang Lai sighed.

"Grandpa...?" Ye Wanwan looked at Wang Lai. "Tell me."

"Back then, the new president said you killed the old president... but actually, that's not the case!"

Wang Lai looked emotional.

Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. "That's not the case?"

"Correct!" Wang Lai nodded with conviction. "Worriless, you did injure the old president, but the culprit

who killed the old president was someone else!"

"Who?!" Ye Wanwan hastily pressed.

"I'm not certain about this part." Wang Lai looked sorrowful. "Back then, I was hiding in a secret spot

and saw you running out then the old president followed you outside, covered in blood. I was really

worried and wanted to dash toward him to check on his injuries... but suddenly, a mysterious person NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

wearing a black robe appeared... It was him! He killed the old president!"

Ye Wanwan's expression changed. Could it be... that black-robed man from the Direct Line?!

"Later, the new president acceded to the position... I wondered if it was the new president who killed

the old president in order to get promoted... I was scared, so I withdrew from the Martial Arts Union...

Sigh, it's my fault for being too cowardly. If I had the courage to stand up and fight with the black-robed

person back then, perhaps the old president wouldn't have died... It's all my fault!"
