“Half a month later,
The Fearless Alliance,
Ye Wanwan flung the folder in her hand aside, her eyes gleaming with cold light.
It had been too long. Those missing people seemed to have evaporated from the human world, never to reappear.
The Fearless Alliance had dispatched its most skilled intelligence agents for covert investigations, but despite all these days, there were no leads.
In the afternoon, Ye Wanwan received a call from Si Ye Han.
“‘Xiaodao’? What does that mean?” Ye Wanwan looked puzzled.
Si Ye Han said over the phone that Asura had discovered an island in a remote area not far from Independent State.
Islands like this were common, and Ye Wanwan didn’t think they were anything out of the ordinary.
“There are guards around the island,” Si Ye Han spoke up.
With his words, Ye Wanwan’s brow furrowed.
If it was just an island, it wouldn’t be remarkable, but if… if the island was guarded by someone, it certainly was unusual.
“Guarded by someone… so, are you saying that those who disappeared from Independent State before were all taken to that island?” Ye Wanwan hurriedly asked.
“Not necessarily,” came the reply from the other end of the phone.
Ye Wanwan pondered for a moment. Si Ye Han’s point had validity; it could be that certain powers were using the island as a resource base, or perhaps mining something there.
However, regardless, they had to investigate thoroughly. After all, they had finally obtained a somewhat valuable lead.
“Tell me the location, Ah Jiu. Just let me know,” Ye Wanwan said.
However, Si Ye Han fell into silence.
“Say something,” Ye Wanwan’s brow slightly furrowed.
“After the investigation is complete, I’ll tell you,” Si Ye Han stated.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Ye Wanwan knew in her heart that Si Ye Han was worried about her risking her life. If that island truly was a place of captivity, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
However, Ye Wanwan didn’t want Si Ye Han to bear all this alone. After all, she was the one who was initially meant to be investigated, not Si Ye Han.
But considering how well she knew Si Ye Han, no matter how much she probed, he wouldn’t say more, and she didn’t want to waste her breath.
“How’s Tangtang? Is he adapting well over there?” Ye Wanwan inquired.
“He misses you,” Si Ye Han replied.
Before Ye Wanwan could continue, Si Ye Han added, “So do I.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Why did it feel like his emotional intelligence had just skyrocketed?
“Could it be… Tangtang taught you how to say that?” Ye Wanwan hit the nail on the head.
Si Ye Han: “…”
After a moment of silence, Si Ye Han said, “I have a meeting here. I’ll contact you later.”
With that, Si Ye Han hastily hung up the phone.
Ye Wanwan placed her phone on the table, propped her chin on her hand, wondering if she had exposed something and made him feel guilty?
These two, father and son, seemed to get along pretty well.
If that was the case, Ye Wanwan could finally set her mind at ease.
Given the personalities of these two, Ye Wanwan was afraid they wouldn’t exchange more than a few words in a day.
Without verbal communication, how could they build a connection…
Just then, Ye Wanwan’s phone rang again. It was a video call from Tangtang.
Immediately, Ye Wanwan opened the video call.
Tangtang was wearing pajamas, sitting in the living room, and behind him was the kitchen.
In the kitchen, a man was busy…
Ye Wanwan was utterly surprised. Si Ye Han was actually cooking himself?!
She wasn’t mistaken, right? The thought of Si Ye Han and cooking just didn’t seem to fit together!”
