"President!"
Before Ye Wanwan could mull over it, Third Elder pushed open the door and entered.
"What is it?" Ye Wanwan looked at Third Elder.
"Alliance Master, there's an old man who wants to see you," the Third Elder said.
"Specifically requested?" Ye Wanwan was startled. Which name? Which surname?
"He said it's the old president's granddaughter, Worriless Nie." Third Elder seemed to have guessed Ye Wanwan's thoughts.
"Got it. Bring him in," Ye Wanwan said with a nod.
…
An elderly man entered the office and examined Ye Wanwan for a long time.
"You can leave first," Ye Wanwan said to Big Dipper and Third Elder.
Hearing this, the two of them nodded, walked out of the office, and closed the door.
"Are you … really the old president's granddaughter, Worriless Nie?" the elderly man asked in confusion.
"In the flesh," Ye Wanwan answered.
"A girl truly changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood … You're different from back then." The elderly man sighed. "May I sit down?"
"Sit," Ye Wanwan said.
The elderly man sat down on a nearby chair. "Worriless, do you still recognize me?"
"May I ask who you are?" Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows. She really didn't have any impression of this elderly man.
"Back then, I was in charge of the Martial Arts Union's internal security system. My name was Wang Lai," the elderly man said.
"Wang Lai …" Ye Wanwan was pensive.
A moment later, Ye Wanwan's expression shifted. "You're Uncle Wang?!"
Back then, there was indeed a member named Wang Lai in the Martial Arts Union. When Ye Wanwan had nothing to do, she often liked to ask him about gossip.
"That's right, Worriless. I didn't expect you to still remember me …" Wang Lai nodded.
"Uncle Wang, why did you seek me out this time?" Ye Wanwan went straight to the point.
Wang Lai sank into silence. A long while later, he slowly said, "This matter … has been buried in my heart for many years. In truth, I've been looking for you. Thankfully, the Nie family announced that the president of the Fearless Alliance was Worriless Nie not long ago, so I found out you returned. I went to the Fearless Alliance several times, but the place was emptied. I waited near the Nie residence but didn't see you, so I heard you might be here …"
"Uncle Wang, let's not beat around the bush. Just what is it?" Ye Wanwan asked.
"Worriless, it's about the Old President." Wang Lai sighed.
"Grandpa …" Ye Wanwan looked at Wang Lai. "Speak."
"Actually, back then, the new guild leader said that you were the one who killed the old guild leader … Actually, that's not the case!" Wang Lai said agitatedly.
Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. "It's not like that?"
"Yes!" Wang Lai nodded with certainty. "Worriless, you did injure the old president, but … the one who killed the old president is someone else!"
"Who is it?!" Ye Wanwan hastily asked.
"I'm not sure about that." Wang Lai's face was full of worry. "Back then, I was hiding in the dark and saw you running out. Then, the old president came out covered in blood. I was very anxious and wanted to rush out immediately to check on the old president's injuries … But suddenly, a mysterious person wrapped in a black robe appeared … It was him, he killed the old president!"
Ye Wanwan's expression shifted. Could it be … that black-robed person from the Direct Line?!
"Later, the new president took office … I'm guessing that the new president killed the old president because he wanted to ascend … I was afraid, so I left the Martial Arts Union … Ah, it's my fault for being too cowardly. If I had the courage to stand up in time and fight that black-robed person back then, perhaps the old president wouldn't have died … It's all my fault!"
