"And you never told any of this to your captain?" Ye Wanwan was puzzled.
"I haven't," Feng Xuanyi replied. "You should know the captain's personality. If the captain learned about all of this, the consequences would be inconceivable and we'd definitely alert the enemies eventually, which would be terrible."
Ye Wanwan couldn't resist inwardly giving Feng Xuanyi a thumbs-up. That was too freaking wise!
It was also why she was unwilling to tell Nameless Nie the truth.
"Actually, I just came back from China but immediately heard the news that the impostor is about to inherit the Nie family. I really had no other options or else I wouldn't have rashly come to the Fearless Alliance today. I believe you also don't hope to watch someone else impersonating you forever, right, Miss Worriless?" Feng Xuanyi asked.
"Indeed. However, although I've regained a portion of my memories, it's only a portion; it's not everything. Fortunately, I've recovered all of the memories regarding my background… As for the impostor, I haven't thought of a good method to expose her yet."
Ye Wanwan had her own apprehensions. Nie Linglong wasn't some sitting duck. Otherwise, that impostor wouldn't be able to conceal herself so perfectly and retain her mask to this day.
"Let's put that aside for now. There was actually one other matter plaguing my mind." Feng Xuanyi paused briefly. "Back then, when I discovered your ident.i.ty in the Si family study, Miss Worriless, I didn't dare to tell the captain but I gave a general overview to the others. However, after that, you were hunted down immediately, Miss Worriless. I've looked into those people who hunted you and they're connected to that impostor…"
Ye Wanwan was startled, her brows locking together after some contemplation. "What you mean is… My brother's team… has a hidden traitor?"
Feng Xuanyi's words were no less than a giant bomb to Ye Wanwan.
Whether it was Brick-moving Foreigner or Taoist Devotee or Spray of Flowers or Dead Man, Ye Wanwan had treated them as very close friends. She neither believed nor was she willing to believe that one of them was a traitor.
"Heh." Feng Xuanyi shook his head. "Miss Worriless, those people are my sworn brothers, and we've gone through fire and water together countless times. You're unwilling to believe there's a traitor amongst them, Miss Worriless, but I'm even more unwilling to believe it than you. However, the truth lies before us. Of course, we can't eliminate the possibility this is a mere coincidence."
"I hope it is a coincidence," Ye Wanwan said.
"Actually, Miss Worriless… I have an idea."
Feng Xuanyi walked toward Ye Wanwan and whispered his thoughts next to her ear.
…
After Feng Xuanyi departed, Ye Wanwan called Nameless Nie immediately and told him to bring everyone from his team to the Fearless Alliance for a meeting.
Nameless Nie originally refused but reluctantly relented after a myriad of threats and temptations from Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan fumed with rage after she hung up. This brother of hers was seriously too good-for-nothing!
His position as patriarch was stolen by the impostor, so she called him over to discuss some countermeasures. But what did he say? He said his parents had decided already, and he didn't want to fight over it since it wasn't like he'd win.
Of course he wouldn't win! This half-wit wanted to fight for the right of inheritance with that impostor and Nie Linglong? Those two could annihilate him with a mere finger!
