On this quiet night, an unknown amount of time passed before the door to Ye Wanwan’s bedroom was slowly opened with a squeak.
Ye Wanwan lay in bed without any movements. Her breathing was soft, as though she was sound asleep.
After the bedroom door was opened, the footsteps paused, as though the intruder was inspecting the situation inside the room.
On the bed, Ye Wanwan frowned slightly and tried to survey the door in the dark.
Using the faint light, Ye Wanwan barely made out a figure that wasn’t too tall or built.
The figure stood by the door, unmoving and seeming to have become a statue. They silently examined Ye Wanwan’s bed.
Ye Wanwan also didn’t move. She was waiting for Big Dipper and Seven Star to lead people there.
Under these unknown circumstances, Ye Wanwan didn’t act rashly. She didn’t know the identity or objective of the intruder, so her safest bet was waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Ye Wanwan’s thoughts raced before she came to a decision within moments.
If the intruder really was from the Direct Line or the group that abducted Ji Xiuran, she had to seize the intruder in the shortest amount of time possible after Big Dipper and Seven Star got there.
As long as they captured this person, Ye Wanwan was confident they could obtain a lot more information from this person.
Right now, their position was too disadvantageous, and the main reason behind this was the lack of information.
In the current situation, whether it was the Fearless Alliance, Asura, or the Nie family, they didn’t have any upper hand.
Just who was it that captured a group of extremely famous leaders from the Independent State? What was their objective and who was their next target? All of this was unknown.
Ye Wanwan didn’t feel the slightest tinge of fear as she lay in bed. Instead, she was anticipatory. She hoped this intruder was part of the group that captured Ji Xiuran. Only then would she have a chance to gain the upper hand.
Before Ye Wanwan could continue her train of thought, the unmoving figure by the door finally started slowly walking forward, and the incredibly light footsteps resounded in the quiet night again.
A moment passed but it also seemed like an entire century elapsed before the figure finally reached Ye Wanwan’s bed. The figure carefully leaned over to examine Ye Wanwan’s hand.
Ye Wanwan and the intruder were very close, and she managed to use the faint light coming from the window to finally distinguish that the figure was a woman.
The woman’s appearance was somewhat blurry, but Ye Wanwan felt like she’d seen this woman somewhere before.
A dozen or so seconds later, the woman bent down and reached for Ye Wanwan’s hand.
Suddenly, Ye Wanwan’s eyes shot open completely as she grabbed the woman’s right hand.
At the same time, a round of footsteps and shouting could be heard from elsewhere in the mansion.
Pah!
The light to the master bedroom was turned on.
The darkness was dispersed, replaced by light.
“Sis Feng, are you okay? We’re here!”
Big Dipper hastily called out after turning on the lights.
Seven Star stared at the back of the woman standing by Ye Wanwan’s bed, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
“It’s you?”
When Ye Wanwan clearly saw the woman by her bed, her expression involuntarily turned surprised and filled with strangeness.
“Who are you? How dare you sneak into my Sis Feng’s room?! Do you want to die?!”
Big Dipper shouted and darted to the bed.
However, he froze in his spot the second he saw the woman’s face.
“Mom?!”
