“The Ling family?”
Ye Wanwan was startled. “Which Ling family?”
“The Ling family, one of the Independent State’s four great clans,” First Elder answered.
Ye Wanwan was confused. One of the Independent State’s four great clans—the Ling family…?
Both she and the Fearless Alliance didn’t have any interactions with the Ling family, so why did someone from the Ling family want to see her?
“President, you should at least see them since they’re one of the four great clans, after all,” First Elder suggested.
Ye Wanwan mulled over it for a moment before promptly nodding. “Alright. Lead them to the conference room first. I’ll arrive momentarily.”
…
Ten or so minutes later, Ye Wanwan pushed open the door to the conference room.
Inside the conference room, a middle-aged man was waiting.
Ye Wanwan sat down on the chief seat before turning to look at him with a faint smile. “The Ling family’s visit to my Fearless Alliance truly brings light to my humble dwelling. However, may I ask what urgent matter brought you here?”
Ye Wanwan found this middle-aged man to look familiar. After some thought, she recalled she seemed to have met this man from the Ling family back at the charity auction held by the four great clans, and they shared a look.
“President Bai, I trust you have been well since we last met at the auction?” the man greeted her with a cordial smile.
“That’s right.” Ye Wanwan nodded.
“Alright, I don’t like to beat about the bush, so let’s get to the main point.”
“The main point?”
Ye Wanwan was puzzled. She couldn’t understand this man’s words.
“Worriless, when will you e back to the Ling family? The elderly sir misses you,” the man softly said.
“…” Ye Wanwan froze in her spot. Weren’t his words a bit of an information overload?!
Ye Wanwan swiftly regained her posure and looked at the man. “Worriless? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Heh… Worriless, the funds you used to establish the Fearless Alliance back then were given to you by the elderly sir,” the man responded in amusement.
Ye Wanwan lost her upper hand due to this line. The funds to establish the Fearless Alliance were given to her by the elderly sir?
Why… why would the elderly sir of the Ling family give her funds…? What was her relationship with the elderly sir of the Ling family?
“What? Don’t tell me you’re going to copy your dad, Worriless, and pletely break all ties with the Ling family?” The man looked displeased.
“The Worriless Nie you’re referring to should be in the Nie family, right?” Ye Wanwan furtively probed.
“What a joke! That’s an impostor in the Nie family.” The man snorted.
Before Ye Wanwan could respond, the conference room door was opened and Feng Xuanyi entered.
“Uncle Ling, Miss Worriless’s memory was masked in China a long time ago, and she lost most of her memory,” Feng Xuanyi explained with a sigh.
“What?! That happened?!” The man was astonished.
“No wonder. No wonder Worriless never came to the Ling residence to visit the elderly sir after ing back and didn’t even take care of that impostor in the Nie family… That day at the auction, I thought she intentionally pretended to not recognize me…” The man was pensive.
He turned to Ye Wanwan and sighed softly. “However, Worriless, your appearance seriously changed a lot over these years. You’re prettier than before… If it weren’t for the helm of President Fearless over your head, I really might not recognize you.”
“What’s going on?” Ye Wanwan’s gaze landed on Feng Xuanyi.
Feng Xuanyi smiled and said to Ye Wanwan, “Miss Worriless, I’m also a member of the Ling family. However, the elderly sir is worried about the captain, so he sent me to stay by the captain’s side many years ago.”
