Chapter 2019 - Simply a genius

Feng Xuanyi observed Ye Wanwan for a moment before answering with a faint smile “Must you be like that, Miss Ye…? You should know that the one in the Nie family right now is an impostor.”

“An impostor?” Ye Wanwan looked at Feng Xuanyi in astonishment. How did he know that “Worriless Nie” was an impostor?

“Miss Ye, I’m not my captain. Moreover, the fact that Miss Ye was able to come to the Independent State and become the President of the Fearless Alliance means that you have at least recovered a portion of your memory and know some parts of your background.” Feng Xuanyi casually sat down on the sofa and picked up an apple from the coffee table.

“Continue,” Ye Wanwan said.

“Back then, when Miss Worriless established the Fearless Alliance, it was actually me who thought of the name ‘Fearless Alliance’,” Feng Xuanyi nonchalantly responded and took a bite of the apple.

Ye Wanwan was surprised. It was Feng Xuanyi who named the Fearless Alliance?

“Miss Worriless was rather close to me, so she discussed it with me when she first created the Fearless Alliance. Of course, this was a secret between Miss Worriless and me, and I stood by my promise and never told anyone about Miss Worriless founding the Fearless Alliance,” Feng Xuanyi continued.

Ye Wanwan didn’t say anything and silently listened to him.

“Back then, I snuck into the Si family because I found Miss Ye to be familiar looking. After all, Miss Worriless went missing for so many years, so the saying ‘A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood’ would explain things. Secondly, the Si family was an illustrious patrician family in China and held formidable power while we were strangers in China. If I depended on the unreliable Captain and those other guys who wanted to discover Miss Worriless’ whereabouts without any help, god knows when we’d find anything,” Feng Xuanyi finished.

Ye Wanwan pensively inquired, “So you think I’m Worriless Nie?”

Feng Xuanyi lit a second cigarette and took a deep drag.

Ye Wanwan glanced at Feng Xuanyi and pointed to a sign nearby:

“Smoking is Prohibited”

With an embarrassed expression, Feng Xuanyi snuffed out the cigarette before replying, “My original plan was that even if you weren’t Miss Worriless, I could still use the Si family’s power to look into Miss Worriless’ whereabouts as long as I held enough power in the Si family.”

“No wonder you’d compete for the position of the hidden guard captain…” Ye Wanwan murmured softly.

“That’s right.” Feng Xuanyi nodded lightly. “In truth, becoming the captain of the Si family hidden guard was merely the starting point. My goal was to become a higher-up in the Si family within a short amount of time so that I could come into contact with the Si family’s core power and use it to investigate Miss Worriless’ whereabouts. However, Si Yehan coincidentally went missing not too long later, and I investigated the matter as per my orders. After I conducted a search in the study, I accidentally saw something I wasn’t supposed to see.”

“Things you weren’t supposed to see… for example?” Ye Wanwan asked.

“For example… memory masking and such.” Feng Xuanyi’s lips turned up.

Ye Wanwan: “…”

Ye Wanwan finally understood why she felt something was off back in the Si family study and the password lock looked like it had been opened. It turned out Feng Xuanyi had discovered the truth a step ahead of her.

“It appears you know everything.” Ye Wanwan was outwitted.

It had to be said that this Feng Xuanyi was truly different from the other members of Nameless Nie’s squad. In contrast to them, Feng Xuanyi was practically a genius, alright?

Ye Wanwan guessed that Feng Xuanyi held at least a military counselor role on Nameless Nie’s team.
