Secret Love 2031

Chapter 2031: He defected

Ye Wanwan’s gaze settled on Spray of Flowers. “Do you believe it now?”

“It feels a little like I’m dreaming… Everything hit too suddenly.” Spray of Flowers looked at Ye Wanwan
as he said, “In truth, I didn’t plan to assassinate you today. If I wanted to assassinate you, I wouldn’t
have chosen the Fearless Alliance as the location. I merely wanted to figure out whether you were a
member of the Direct Line and whether you wanted to harm the Nie family or not. However… I’m glad I
came here today. If I had to choose, I choose to believe Feng Xuanyi. After all, we’ve known each other
for so many years and traveled to hell and back. Feng Xuanyi wouldn’t lie to me.”

Ye Wanwan nodded with satisfaction. Good, he was still salvageable and wasn’t stupid beyond cure.

“As long as you understand,” Feng Xuanyi said.

“Um… can you untie me? I’m a top-notch assassin, to say the least. This isn’t too appropriate…” Spray of
Flowers requested with an awkward chuckle.

Ye Wanwan nodded and had Feng Xuanyi untie Spray of Flowers.

After Spray of Flowers worked out his kinks, he sat down on a nearby chair.

“Um, so what should I do now?” Spray of Flowers looked at Ye Wanwan.

Before she could respond, Spray of Flowers added, “You’re really Miss Worriless, right?”

“…” Ye Wanwan answered with a sigh, “I’m really Worriless Nie.”

“I believe you.” Spray of Flowers nodded. “Thank you for pleading for leniency on my behalf back then,
Miss Worriless.”

“I really don’t remember the past,” Ye Wanwan responded.

After Feng Xuanyi’s explanation, Spray of Flowers finally learned the whole story behind Ye Wanwan’s
amnesia.

“Miss Worriless, don’t worry! I will definitely reap Si Yehan’s b*stard life and avenge you!” Spray of
Flowers furiously shouted with clenched fists.

Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched, and she turned to Feng Xuanyi. “Where’s my knife?”

“Don’t be impulsive…” Feng Xuanyi hastily pulled Ye Wanwan back.

Spray of Flowers was stupefied.?What now?!

“Whether we take revenge or not is none of your business.” Feng Xuanyi massaged his temples.

“Alright, I’ll do whatever you say.” Spray of Flowers nodded. “Whether it’s climbing a mountain of
swords and plunging into a sea of flames, I won’t hesitate.”
“We don’t need you to go to any mountains of swords or seas of flames…” Feng Xuanyi smiled faintly at
the other man. “Tomorrow, you’ll bring Miss Worriless back as a prisoner. Find that impostor and tell
him you’ve abducted the person for her.”

Ye Wanwan started.?Hold on… He didn’t discuss this with me beforehand! Why do I need to get
abducted?!

She wasn’t the only baffled one; Spray of Flowers was also bewildered.

“A recluse naturally possesses brilliant schemes,” Feng Xuanyi said in response.

That night, Ye Wanwan and Spray of Flowers attentively listened to Feng Xuanyi’s plan and couldn’t help
but clap in amazement at the end.

The next morning, Feng Xuanyi and Spray of Flowers took a nap in the office, and Ye Wanwan used this
opportunity to take care of some documents from Feng Xuanyi and craft a plan to search for Ji Xiuran
and the other missing people.

As for the Scarlet Flames Academy, the Headmaster was absent and had gone on a mental journey
somewhere, so she planned to wait until the Headmaster returned before going back to submit her
mission and undergo a third hypnosis session.

“President.”

Several knocks were heard from the office door.

“Enter,” Ye Wanwan called out.

First Elder entered the office and first looked at the snoring Spray of Flowers before turning to Ye
Wanwan in confusion.

Why did this assassin… get untied? And why was he sleeping inside the Fearless Alliance?

“He defected,” Ye Wanwan explained.

First Elder immediately showed Ye Wanwan a thumbs-up as he exclaimed, “You’re seriously our
President! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”

“What’s the matter?” Ye Wanwan placed down the document she was reading and focused on First
Elder.

“President, there’s someone from the Ling family here to see you,” First Elder responded.

Chapter 2032: Which Ling family?

“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 come 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 composure 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 completely 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 coming
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.”

Chapter 2033: World-shaking

“You’re a member of the Ling family?” Ye Wanwan stared at Feng Xuanyi. “Wait no, isn’t your surname
‘Feng’?”

The man and Feng Xuanyi looked at each other with exasperated expressions.

“Miss Worriless, you lost your memory, so perhaps you don’t remember the affairs between the Nie
family and the Ling family.” Feng Xuanyi sighed and promptly started explaining.

“Miss Worriless, the elderly sir of the Ling family is actually your paternal grandfather and the father of
the current Patriarch Nie.”

Ye Wanwan was stupefied. Patriarch Nie…? Freaking… didn’t Patriarch Nie have the surname “Nie”?
How was he related to the Ling family?!

“Back then, after your maternal grandfather, who was the previous head of the Nie family, became the
President of the Martial Arts Union, he passed on the Nie family to your mother. The Nie family and the
Ling family used to be the greatest enemies in the Independent State, and Elderly Sir Ling and your
grandfather were like water and fire. The Ling family and the Nie family had all sorts of battles and
scuffles…”
Ye Wanwan remained silent and intently listened to Feng Xuanyi.

“After your mother inherited the Nie family, she fell in love with one of Elderly Sir Ling’s sons… When
your grandfather learned of this, he was thunderous with rage and employed all sorts of methods and
schemes to destroy the marriage between the Ling family and the Nie family. However… they didn’t
work.

“As for your father, to express his sincerity, he separated from the Nie family of his own volition and
even changed his previous Ling surname into Nie…” Feng Xuanyi quietly said.

“…” Ye Wanwan never expected her parents to have had such a world-shaking story.

“When your grandfather saw that the rice was cooked, he completely broke all ties with the Nie family
in his rage and prohibited anyone from mentioning his relationship with the Nie family,” Feng Xuanyi
continued.

A piece of memory started replaying in Ye Wanwan’s mind.

An elderly man carrying a crying little girl and telling the girl her dad and mom didn’t deserve to be
parents…

Ye Wanwan finally understood why her grandfather was so angry.

It made sense. The son of his eternal enemy married his daughter, and his daughter gave his Nie family
away. No one else would be able to tolerate it either probably.

“When Miss Worriless was young, your grandfather took you away to raise you to punish your parents
and prohibited you from returning to the Nie family to see your parents. It wasn’t until you were grown
up, Miss Worriless, that you returned to the Nie residence several times and lived there for some time,”
Feng Xuanyi said.

“I see…” Ye Wanwan nodded lightly.

No wonder. Feng Xuanyi was clearly a member of the Ling family but charged his Ling surname to Feng
after going to the Nie family. It was because the relationship between these two families was too
unusual.

Right now, the Ling family also didn’t recognize Patriarch Nie, which meant they had cut all ties with
Patriarch Nie too.

But the Ling family was greatly concerned about her and Nameless Nie or else the elderly sir wouldn’t
have sent Feng Xuanyi to Nameless Nie’s side.

“Worriless, is there… news of your grandfather?”

The man turned to Ye Wanwan and inquired moments later.

Ye Wanwan shook her head. “I’ve completely forgotten about that segment of memory… I don’t even
know how Grandpa went missing.”
“Alright, let’s not mention this for the time being. Ever since the elderly sir learned you came back to the
Independent State, he’s been very excited and elated and has been waiting for you to visit the Ling
residence,” the man said.

“Uncle Ling… When I have time, I’ll definitely visit…” Ye Wanwan promised after some thought.

Chapter 2034: Chap 2034: The plan begins

After obtaining a promise from Ye Wanwan, the man looked comforted.

“Worriless, what about your memory? Can you recover it?” the man asked as he stood up.

“I’m currently in the middle of recovering it. It shouldn’t take much longer,” Ye Wanwan answered after
some contemplation.

The man nodded. “Good. If you run into any difficulties or need any assistance, come directly to the Ling
family.”

“Thank you.” Ye Wanwan smiled at him.

Although she didn’t possess any memories related to the Ling family, the Ling family contained her
grandfather and many other family members. This was unalterable and also surprising.

After the man left, Ye Wanwan started reassessing Feng Xuanyi.

No wonder Feng Xuanyi was a genius. He turned out to be someone sent from the Ling family by
Grandfather to watch over her unreliable elder brother…

However, with someone like this by Nameless Nie side, Nameless Nie probably wouldn’t run into any
serious trouble.

Despite Ye Wanwan’s intense desire to see her grandfather and family members at the Ling family, she
didn’t have any free time right now.

Ye Wanwan and Feng Xuanyi soon returned to her office and woke up Spray of Flowers.

Under Feng Xuanyi’s instructions, Spray of Flowers covertly led Ye Wanwan out of the Fearless Alliance.

However, Spray of Flowers didn’t take Ye Wanwan back to the Nie residence. Instead, they headed to a
prison near the Nie residence.

Many elite members of the Fearless Alliance had hidden near the prison location, mainly to prevent
accidents.

After taking care of everything, Spray of Flowers circumvented Nie Linglong and called the impostor
directly.

“Miss Worriless… I’ve captured and brought the person to the prison,” Spray of Flowers said after the
call connected.

“Worriless Nie” quickly rushed toward the prison with several confidants in tow.
“It’s you?!”

Surprise crept onto Ye Wanwan’s expression when she saw the imposter.

“Worriless Nie’s” eyes were chilly as she stared at Ye Wanwan, her lips curling up with a smirk. “Heh…
little b*tch, you still ended up in my hands, no?”

“Worriless Nie” didn’t wait for Ye Wanwan to reply before turning to Spray of Flowers and happily
praised him, “You did a good job this time. However, why did you imprison her instead of killing her?”

Spray of Flowers listened to Feng Xuanyi through the hidden earphone and repeated, “Miss Worriless, I
captured her at the Fearless Alliance, which didn’t allow me to kill her at all. It’s already a miracle I was
able to abduct her… Moreover, I wanted to ask Miss Linglong for her opinion.”

“Worriless Nie” frowned. “Inquire Linglong about her opinion? Spray of Flowers, I’m the one who’s
about to become the head of the Nie family.”

“But…”

“There is no but. From now on, do exactly as I tell you.”

“Worriless Nie” glanced at Spray of Flowers.

“Spray of Flowers, I didn’t expect you to be a traitor! You’ve let Nameless Nie down!” Ye Wanwan
shouted harshly at him.

“Shut up!” Spray of Flowers yelled. “You’re a member of the Direct Line. You befriended the Captain
because you wanted to gain control over the Nie family and even destroy the Nie family. Don’t think I
don’t know that you’ve been using the captain this whole time!”

After saying that, Spray of Flowers promptly turned to “Worriless Nie” and said, “Miss Worriless, I’ve got
to head back or else the captain will notice…”

“Alright. Head back first; don’t worry. We’re doing this for Eldest Brother, you got it?” the fake Worriless
Nie said meaningfully.

“I understand.” Spray of Flowers nodded and left.

Chapter 2035: You impostor

“Head back first.”

After Spray of Flowers left, “Worriless Nie” placed the order as she waved her hand at her confidants.

Soon, Ye Wanwan and “Worriless Nie” were the only people left in the prison.

“Little b*tch, now that you’re in my hands, I’ll make you beg for death!” “Worriless Nie” coldly sneered.

“Do you dare?” Ye Wanwan didn’t appear the slightest bit scared and met “Worriless Nie” in the eyes.
“If you dare to hurt me, you’d be waging war with the Fearless Alliance. I’m afraid you’re not strong
enough for that.”
“The Fearless Alliance?” The fake Worriless Nie suddenly broke into laughter. “Unfortunately, they’re
idiots. If it’s just the Fearless Alliance, I don’t believe they will discover who did it! Even if they do, they’d
only find Spray of Flowers.”

“Despicable and shameless!” Ye Wanwan shouted.

“Despicable? Shameless?”

“Worriless Nie” clicked her tongue. “If you kneel in front of me and beg me, perhaps I can give you
sweet relief. Come on, kneel down in front of me! Beg me!”

“Are you kidding me? You’re the one who should be kneeling down, you impostor,” Ye Wanwan coldly
retorted.

“Worriless Nie’s” expression shifted. “It appears you indeed know everything.”

“Of course I do. You impersonated me and snuck into the Nie family…” Ye Wanwan fumed with rage as
she stared at “Worriless Nie.”

“Heh… Indeed, I impersonated your identity, but so what? As long as those two old farts from the Nie
family believe it, it’s fine.”

“Worriless Nie” laughed mockingly. “Now that you mention it, it is quite funny. In truth, the Ling family,
Scarlet Flames Academy, even Emperor Ji—they all suspect my identity. However, your idiotic parents
wholeheartedly believe I am Worriless Nie due to their guilt and indulgent love. Tell me, who else can
you blame?”

“However, this is heaven’s will. The Ling family and the Nie family are eternal enemies, and the Scarlet
Flames Academy has even fewer interactions with the Nie family. As for Emperor Ji, he doesn’t have any
proof, so no one can expose my identity… After you die, I’ll inherit the Nie family completely. Your son
and everything that belongs to you will become mine… Heh, are you angry?” “Worriless Nie” cheerfully
taunted.

“You won’t end up well!” Ye Wanwan yelled.

“Unfortunately, you’ll die before me.” The fake Worriless Nie wasn’t concerned at all.

She didn’t allow Ye Wanwan to say anything else and called her confidants inside.

“The succession ceremony is about to begin, so it’s a pity I won’t have time to play with you.”

“Worriless Nie” lamented with a faint smile before turning to her confidants. “Torture her well, and
then…” “Worriless Nie” made a swiping motion across her neck with her hand.

“Don’t worry. We know what to do,” a confidant responded.

“Be clean and nimble.”

After saying that, “Worriless Nie” turned and left.

The confidants’ icy gazes landed on Ye Wanwan.

…
At that time, the Nie residence was packed with people and teeming with guests.

Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie were sitting in the seats of honor with cordial smiles on their faces.

Nameless Nie stood on the side—obvious displeasure on his face—and he constantly surveyed his
surroundings.

“Captain, Boss Famous is unreliable too! She claimed she could allow you to inherit the Nie family,
sigh…” Taoist Devotee said with a sigh.

Nameless Nie shot Taoist Devotee a look. “Do you think I care about the position of family head? What a
joke! With my abilities, I can easily create a dozen Nie families! It’d be a piece of cake.”

Taoist Devotee and Brick-moving Foreigner met each other’s eyes and tacitly lowered their heads.

Chapter 2036: Hold your tongue back if you don’t know how to talk

“Actually, you don’t need to be so depressed, Captain. As one of the four great clans, the Nie family has
such a large workload every day and also needs to maintain their relationships with all the external
major factions, so you’d be tired to death. I think it’s a good thing you aren’t inheriting the Nie family,”
Taoist Devotee said to Nameless Nie with a snicker as he looked up.

Nameless Nie snorted. “Who said I’m depressed? I’m a free bird! I wouldn’t want to be the head even
they wanted me to, hmph!”

Brick-moving Foreigner turned to his captain and brightly said, “I just learned a saying, Captain. It’s
‘Puffing oneself up at one’s own cost’. Do you think it’s a fitting description of you, Captain?”

Nameless Nie fiercely glared at Brick-moving Foreigner. “Don’t you freaking know how to talk? Hold
your tongue back if you don’t know how to talk!”

Brick-moving Foreigner was dumbfounded. Did he get tricked again?

More and more leaders and important figures were entering the Nie residence, and everyone
congratulated Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie with big grins.

“Tangtang, after your mom inherits the role as the head, you will become the heir to the Nie family. You
have to behave and act responsibly, do you understand?” Madam Nie softly instructed Tangtang as she
looked at the expressionless Tangtang sitting next to her.

Tangtang looked at Madam Nie and considered it for a moment before saying, “Grandma, I don’t want
to be the heir to the Nie family.”

“Nonsense. You can’t say these kinds of things,” Patriarch Nie rebuked him with a frown, his expression
changing when he heard that.

Before Tangtang could respond, the originally boisterous Nie residence abruptly turned quiet.

“Worriless Nie” was slowly walking to the center of the room in a long dress with a gentle smile hanging
on her face.
Next to “Worriless Nie” was Nie Linglong.

“Hahaha, Miss Worriless, congratulations, congratulations.”

Many higher-ups of various factions all congratulated her with a smile.

“Worriless Nie” merely nodded at each of them in response.

“They all say Miss Worriless Nie of the Nie family is considered one of the brightest young stars of the
Independent State. Now that she’s inheriting the Nie family, it’s a celebratory matter for the Nie family
and even the entire Independent State,” an elderly man merrily said to “Worriless Nie” as he stood up.

“Thank you to all the seniors who came to support me. My abilities are still greatly lacking, so I’ll need to
learn from you seniors after inheriting the Nie family,” “Worriless Nie” responded with a smile on her
lips.

“You’re too humble, Miss Worriless.”

“Indeed. From now on, with Miss Worriless leading the Nie family, assisted by Miss Linglong and the
Eldest Young Master, I believe the Nie family will definitely scale new heights.”

“With your abilities, Elder Sister, it won’t be a problem for you to take over the Nie family,” Nie Linglong
also interjected with a light chuckle

Nie Linglong had an aloof smile on her face. After “Worriless Nie” inherited the Nie family, it would be
the same as her gaining control.

At that time, she could use the Nie family’s name to disintegrate the remaining three patrician families
one by one.

“Oh right, Miss Worriless Is there any news of your fiancé, Emperor Ji, yet?” a middle-aged man inquired
from the crowd.

“Worriless Nie” looked pensive and contemplated it for a moment before answering: “I’m greatly
saddened by Xiuran’s disappearance, and I’ve been looking into it this whole time. However, the news
we obtained was that the disappearances all seem to bear some significant connection to the Fearless
Alliance.”

“Connected to the Fearless Alliance?”

A shock swept over the occupants of the room.

Chapter 2037: Don’t slander my mommy

“That… can’t be, right?”

A higher-up looked at “Worriless Nie” and said with a frown, “Although the Fearless Alliance is guilty of
monstrous crimes and formidable in their own right and it wouldn’t be strange if they did such a thing…
is the Fearless Alliance really this capable? Forget about Emperor Ji, but the Fearless Alliance can’t even
defeat Heavenly Owl.”
“Sometimes, we’re hidden in the dark.”

“Worriless Nie” swept her eyes over everyone and explained, “The leader of Heavenly Owl is extremely
good friends with President Fearless Bai Feng. It’d be a different story if the two were familiar and
Heavenly Owl’s leader wasn’t on guard against Bai Feng at all.”

No one contradicted “Worriless Nie’s” words this time. It was indeed very easy to harm an acquaintance
since you were meat on the cutting board regardless of how strong you were if you weren’t vigilant.

Everyone in this room was aware of the relationship between the Fearless Alliance and Heavenly Owl. It
would be very simple for President Fearless to abduct the leader of Heavenly Owl.

“In truth, there were some Heavenly Owl higher-ups who were suspicious, but they didn’t have any solid
evidence, so it’s difficult for them to act,” “Worriless Nie” continued.

“It is as you say, but… I’m afraid it isn’t so easy to explain Emperor Ji’s disappearance.” Someone raised
their doubts.

Forget about Heavenly Owl, but who was Ji Xiuran? Furthermore, he didn’t have any interactions with
the Fearless Alliance, so the Fearless Alliance couldn’t possibly abduct Emperor Ji from his headquarters
regardless of how formidable they were, right?

“This matter… is a bit hard to explain.”

A soft sigh was released from “Worriless Nie’s” mouth and a helpless expression draped over her face.
“As everyone knows, Ji Xiuran is my fiancé. However… some time ago, President Fearless butted into our
relationship.”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Ji Xiuran and the President of the Fearless Alliance…

“Not too long later, Ji Xiuran disappeared. I’m certain that this was also the Fearless Alliance’s doing.”

“Worriless Nie” swore vehemently.

“That’s right, aside from Emperor Ji, Bai Feng seems to also have an ambiguous relationship with Lord
Asura of Asura…”

“It isn’t just Lord Asura! There’s also Eldest Young Master Shen!”

A smile surfaced in the fake Worriless Nie’s eyes as the discussion ran rampant. She continued,
“Moreover, not too long ago, Bai Feng used a normal person’s identity to worm her way into our Nie
family and tricked my mother into taking her as a foster daughter, and she’s good friends with my elder
brother as well. Hence, I suspect that Bai Feng is actually a member of the Direct Line. They want to
make a comeback and cause chaos in the Independent State.”

The guests all shuddered at the mention of “Direct Line.”

Back then, the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch fought ferociously, and the Direct Line swore they’d
return stronger one day before being kicked out.

“D*mn, you’ve watched too many dramas, right?” Nameless Nie glanced at “Worriless Nie.”
“Eldest Brother, you’ve been bewitched by the Fearless Alliance.” The fake Worriless Nie’s expression
didn’t change.

Before she could continue, Tangtang suddenly icily stated, “Don’t slander my mommy.”

Everyone’s expressions turned odd. This little young master of the Nie family actually called the
President of the Fearless Alliance “Mommy”…

“Tangtang, it’s me who’s your mommy!” The fake Worriless Nie frowned deeply at Tangtang.

“My mommy shouldn’t be someone like you,” Tangtang coldly retorted.

“Worriless Nie’s” expression instantly became troubled, and she looked at everyone. “I believe everyone
can see for yourself that our Nie family has also been affected by the Fearless Alliance. Even my own son
recognizes the President of the Fearless Alliance but treats me, his biological mother, so vilely.”

Chapter 2038: Declare war on the Fearless Alliance

A feverous whisper blazed through the room.

Many factions present had grievances with the Fearless Alliance to some extent, so “Worriless Nie’s”
words both alarmed and angered them. If what “Worriless Nie” was saying was correct, then the
Fearless Alliance’s existence was truly too frightening.

Madam Nie glanced at “Worriless Nie” with a tinge of displeasure. Madam Nie held fondness for Ye
Wanwan, and “Worriless Nie” had never mentioned any of this to her.

However, “Worriless Nie” would start managing the Nie family starting today and was the new head of
the Nie family, so she naturally couldn’t raise any doubts toward “Worriless Nie” in such a public setting.

“On behalf of our Nie family as well as my fiancé, after I take over the Nie family, I will declare war on
the Fearless Alliance!” the fake Worriless Nie coldly announced.

“Hahaha, Miss Worriless is eradicating evil for the Independent State. Whether the disappearances of
Emperor Ji and those leaders were caused by the Fearless Alliance, the Fearless Alliance has run
rampant and lawless in the Independent State for too long. They murder and plunder; they are a
cancerous tumor! If the Nie family declares war on the Fearless Alliance, I will offer my full support!”

“We will also fully support you!”

Many factions instantly declared their position to “Worriless Nie.”

To them, they merely wanted to develop friendly relations with the Nie family. If the Nie family was
attacking the Fearless Alliance, then the Nie family would definitely be the main force. They just needed
to offer some manpower and gild the lily, and they would make the Nie family remember their
camaraderie.

“My mommy never did any of this,” Tangtang seriously said while staring at “Worriless Nie.”

“Tangtang, you can’t speak to your mom like this,” Nie Linglong admonished him.
“If I can’t talk like this, how should I talk then?” Tangtang glanced at Nie Linglong.

“Worriless Nie” rebuked harshly, “Tangtang, you can speak to me however you want when we’re at
home, but what day is it today? Mommy has declared war on the Fearless Alliance already, yet you’re
still speaking on their behalf?!”

“So what? I’m merely telling the truth,” Tangtang countered.

“After I inherit the Nie family, you will be the next heir of the Nie family. But… you truly disappoint me
too much.”

“Worriless Nie” shot forward and grabbed Tangtang’s right hand, dragging him toward the front.

However, Tangtang seemed unwilling and didn’t move his legs.

“Little Young Master Tangtang, this is your true mom. How can you recognize the President of the
Fearless Alliance as your mother?” a middle-aged man said to Tangtang.

“That’s right. The Fearless Alliance’s notoriety rings far and wide. You mustn’t have any interactions with
the Fearless Alliance, Little Young Master Tangtang.”

Tangtang swept his eyes over everyone and expressionlessly said, “The weak like to gather together and
criticize the strong.”

Everyone was startled. Didn’t this Little Young Master of the Nie family talk too horribly?

Slap!

Suddenly, “Worriless Nie” lifted her right arm and forcefully slapped Tangtang on the face.

“Tangtang, how could you act so insolently today?!”

“Worriless Nie” sternly berated him.

“Worriless, what are you doing?”

Madam Nie looked at the fake Worriless Nie. “Tangtang is still young, so it’s normal for him to be
unmindful. How could you hit him?”

“Mom, it’s exactly because Tangtang is still young that I have to teach him. If he grows older, how could I
teach him then? Back then, I left the Independent State and was remiss in my duties as a mother. I’m
back now though, so I will be the one teaching my son,” “Worriless Nie” argued.

Chapter 2039: This woman hit you?

Madam Nie wanted to say something, but Patriarch Nie sent her a look, signaling her to refrain.

Madam Nie was silent in thought for a moment and ended up biting her words.

After all, the leader of the Nie family would be Worriless Nie from now on, so it wasn’t appropriate to
say anything more so publicly.
“What the heck are you doing?!” Nameless Nie demanded, incredibly displeased. “You disappeared for
so many years, but you have the gall to hit Tangtang?”

“Worriless Nie” retorted frigidly, “Brother, I’m disciplining my son. It’s none of your business.”

Nameless Nie wanted to refute her but couldn’t find an appropriate excuse despite careful thought.

“Tangtang, apologize!” Worriless Nie ordered the child.

Many of the people who were ridiculed by Tangtang minutes earlier inwardly snickered. Thank goodness
Worriless Nie wasn’t a protective parent. This little young master of the Nie family was simply unruly
and indeed deserved to be punished.

Tangtang icily stared at “Worriless Nie.”

A cold glint flashed in “Worriless Nie’s” eyes, and she raised her right arm, as though she was going to
slap Tangtang again.

However, before “Worriless Nie’s” hand could land, a snort was heard from far away. “Heh, you haven’t
become the head of the Nie family yet, but you have such an awful temper already? If you truly became
the head of the Nie family, how outrageously would you act then?!”

Everyone turned to the front of the room, their expressions shifting when they saw the newcomer.

“The Fearless Alliance?”

“B-bai Feng?!”

With Ye Wanwan at the front, several elders, a dozen or so higher-ups, and more than a hundred elite
members of the Fearless Alliance had arrived.

“Worriless Nie’s” expression turned a little strange when she saw Ye Wanwan.?That little b*tch didn’t
die. Could it be the Fearless Alliance found the prison that quickly and rescued her…?

An icy smile spread across “Worriless Nie’s” face. It was fine that she didn’t die.

“Hmph, President Fearless, today is a joyous day at the Nie family. Why did you come here?” a higher-up
from a faction questioned coldly.

“None of your f*cking business! Shut up!” Big Dipper irritatedly pointed at the speaker.

“Mommy…”

Joy surfaced in Tangtang’s eyes when he saw Ye Wanwan, and he went to walk toward her.

However, “Worriless Nie” was still clutching Tangtang and kept him by her side.

“Heh, President Bai, if I remember right, our Nie family didn’t invite you, no?” the fake Worriless Nie
mocked.

Ye Wanwan didn’t answer and walked toward Tangtang instead before asking, “This woman hit you just
now?”

Tangtang lightly nodded.

“A slap,” Tangtang replied.

After looking at Tangtang’s slightly swollen left cheek, Ye Wanwan instantly straightened up and lifted
her right arm before “Worriless Nie” could react. In the blink of an eye, everyone watched as a slap
mercilessly landed on “Worriless Nie’s” face.

The loud “slap” was akin to a clap of thunder.

When everyone regained their wits, they incredulously stared at “Worriless Nie” and the fresh handprint
on her face.

“D*mn…” Nameless Nie stared at Ye Wanwan, dumbfounded.

“Captain, this isn’t right. Didn’t Boss Famous say earlier that she’d make madam and sir bitterly
disappointed in Worriless Nie? Why did she come here to confront them outright?” Taoist Devotee
asked with surprise, looking at Nameless Nie.

“You’re asking me, but how should I know?” Nameless Nie reflexively replied.

Chapter 2040: You hit my son, so you deserve to die

Not to mention other people, but Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie were also astonished.

Madam Nie especially never would’ve expected Ye Wanwan to do such a thing today.

“You... hit me?!”

“Worriless Nie” coldly glared at Ye Wanwan after she shook off her daze.

Slap!

Ye Wanwan backhanded her again mercilessly.

“Hitting you isn’t the objective,” Ye Wanwan icily replied. “It’s merely a side stop on your path toward
death. You hit my son, so you deserve to die.”

“President Bai, where do you think you are?” Nie Linglong demanded.

Several dozens of martial artists working with Nie Linglong quickly rushed toward the room.

“Let me see who’d dare!” Third Elder yelled.

“Sis Feng, let’s not act recklessly. This is the Nie residence, after all...” Big Dipper quietly urged Ye
Wanwan.

Only 100 or so people from the Fearless Alliance were there. If the Nie family was truly enraged, they
might not be able to flee.

“I’ll shoulder the sky if it collapses,” Ye Wanwan replied.

“Doesn’t that just mean you’re going to smash a hole in the sky, Sis Feng...?” Big Dipper murmured.
“President Bai, you’re intent on antagonizing our Nie family.”

Patriarch Nie stood up, his gaze settling on Ye Wanwan.

Ye Wanwan shook her head at Patriarch Nie. “It isn’t that I want to antagonize the Nie family. It’s the
direct opposite, in fact. I merely don’t want the Nie family to be deceived and beclouded by some
people.”

“Heh.” Patriarch Nie snorted. “President Bai, you came here today and arrogantly provoked the Nie
family in such a manner and said such words. It’s truly rather incomprehensible.”

“It’s fine that it’s incomprehensible right now,” Ye Wanwan responded.

“Sh*t...”

Nameless Nie didn’t wait for Patriarch Nie to say anything else and quickly darted toward Ye Wanwan.
“Say, sister, what the heck are you doing? This doesn’t match our plan at all. If you’re crashing this
ceremony like this, I won’t be able to save you later...”

Ye Wanwan shot him a look. “That’s all you’ve got? Your nephew was hit, yet you stand by and do
nothing?”

Nameless Nie was startled. “The one who hit him was his actual mom, so what could I have done? I
know you have a good relationship with Tangtang, but isn’t this too impulsive?!”

“Actual mom your a**! I’m Tangtang’s actual mom!”

“Huh?” Nameless Nie was stupefied. “What do you mean?”

Everyone turned to Ye Wanwan. She was Little Young Master Nie’s real mom?

“Utter nonsense!”

Patriarch Nie’s face brimmed with displeasure.

“Say, sister, what’s wrong with you...? What actual mom? Explain clearly! Don’t tell me Tangtang isn’t a
member of the Nie family and is actually your son?” Nameless Nie urgently pressed.

Ye Wanwan: “...”

“Everyone, you’ve seen it for yourself, right? This is how the Fearless Alliance acts,” “Worriless Nie”
interjected.

“Are you kidding me? You’re just an impostor. Do you seriously think you’re Worriless Nie?” Ye Wanwan
questioned.

“I’m an impostor?”

“Worriless Nie” sneered. “President Bai, although I don’t know what madness has overtaken you... don’t
even think about leaving the Nie residence alive today!”

“Wanwan, is there someone deliberately instructing you to do this?” Madam Nie asked her with a frown
as she stood up.
“Patriarch, Madam, I can attest that she’s the genuine Miss Worriless. As for this one, she is indeed an
impostor.”

Feng Xuanyi walked out of the crowd, a smile on his face.
