Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian, their feet felt like they were glued to the ground, unable to move.
-
They could only stand there, facing each other with Xingyeyexiang.
-
"What does 'disguise' actually mean?"
-
Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian were both pondering this question.
-
Is Xingyeyexiang hinting at something, has he already seen through their real identities, or is he just testing them?
-
Neither Shui Helinfan nor Caocanglian knew how to deal with the current situation.
-
Any inadvertence could lead to saying the wrong thing and unintentionally revealing their true identities that were not meant to be discovered.
-
"Both of you, don't be so nervous." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Xingyeyexiang lowered his voice, then gestured with his eyes for Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian to come closer.
-
Both of them had no choice but to move closer.
-
"Don't worry, I also want to send Bai Yaxin to hell." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Xingyeyexiang said this without changing his expression.
-
Although his voice was very low, the content of his words was enough to make Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian tremble.
-
Speaking so bluntly like this, pretending to be ignorant was no longer possible.
-
The only question Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian had left was whether they could trust Xingyeyexiang, whether Xingyeyexiang was probing them on behalf of Bai Yaxin.
-
But how to make a decision, they had no clues.
-
And time continued to slip away, second by second.
-
Facing the two nervous and silent young ladies, Xingyeyexiang also seemed quite troubled.
-
"Although... I do have a way to prove myself to you, to make you believe me, but I don't want to use this method unless absolutely necessary." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
"Let me put it this way." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
"Miss Caocanglian." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
When Caocanglian's name was called by Xingyeyexiang, she became even more tense.
-
"You are actually Miss ManranyamaSouren, right?" (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Before Caocanglian could react, Xingyeyexiang continued.
-
"Miss Shui Helinfan, you are actually Miss Manranyama's attendant, Miss Van, right?" (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Two living young ladies were stunned at this moment.
-
"And the person who helped you disguise yourselves, her name is Yu. She is affiliated with Yan and is now working as a nurse in Kyoto." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
"Accompanying Yu is Tang Mingtuo, he is a trusted aide under Yan." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
At this point, anyone with a bit of intelligence could understand the severity of the situation.
-
"Mr. Xingye." (Caocanglian?)
-
Caocanglian, who had always maintained a cute and lively image, suddenly became serious, as if she had turned into a completely different person... yes, as if she had turned into the eldest daughter of the Manranyama Consortium, ManranyamaSouren.
-
"We understand now. Can we discuss the remaining matters at another time and place?" (Caocanglian)
-
"Of course, no problem." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Xingyeyexiang did not show any surprise at Caocanglian's transformation, and responded calmly.
-
As Caocanglian spoke, she wrote a note and placed it under the glass on the bartop, then decisively turned around and left.
-
In the moment of turning around, she once again returned to the lively and cute Caocanglian, bouncing away.
-
And Shui Helinfan, without showing too much change, maintained her original demeanor, calmly tidied up before leaving slowly.
-
Left at the bar, Xingyeyexiang opened the note left by Caocanglian, which read "Today at noon, 9 o'clock, South Hall Park."
-
"This is really urgent, not even giving time for a nap." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
In the brothel at six in the morning, Xingyeyexiang looked at the note, mumbling to himself.
-
Then, three hours later, at nine in the morning, Xingyeyexiang appeared on time at South Hall Park.
-
But there was no one waiting there.
-
However, as soon as Xingyeyexiang arrived, his phone rang, showing an unknown number.
-
Xingyeyexiang scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision, then answered the call.
-
"Mr. Xingye, thank you for coming." (Female voice)
-
"Please proceed into the park and follow the directions I provided." (Female voice)
-
On the phone, a woman in her forties or fifties took on a tone that brooked no refusal, instructing Xingyeyexiang.
-
"Alright, Van." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
After a brief hesitation, Xingyeyexiang responded in a very affirmative tone.
-
Even though he couldn't see the expression of the person on the other end of the phone, Xingyeyexiang was very sure that the owner of this disguised voice was Van.
-
Sure enough, after a meandering journey of about ten minutes, Xingyeyexiang met ManranyamaSouren and Van, who were in disguise, under a very secluded large tree.
-
"You have worked hard, Mr. Xingye. I am very sorry for not greeting you from a distance." (ManranyamaSouren)
-
ManranyamaSouren took a step forward and greeted Xingyeyexiang proactively.
-
"Not at all, let's skip the pleasantries. I am very tired, let's quickly talk about what needs to be said, and then I'm going back to sleep." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Xingyeyexiang did not leave any room for niceties, straightforwardly getting to the point.
-
This kind of decisiveness and coldness left ManranyamaSouren momentarily speechless, unable to utter a word.
-
After being stunned for over ten seconds, ManranyamaSouren slowly said, "Alright, I have a few questions for you, Mr. Xingye."
-
In fact, at this moment, ManranyamaSouren and Van were standing here with very little confidence.
-
The moment they left the R.E.L.A.X brothel, disguised as Shui Helinfan and Caocanglian, they began investigating Xingyeyexiang's background.
-
However, after utilizing all their resources, they could not find any background information on this man except for his phone number.
-
It was as if he appeared out of thin air.
-
No past, no connections.
-
Such a person could not possibly exist in society, because as long as someone is alive, they will constantly leave traces behind.
-
The fact that they couldn’t find any traces of Xingyeyexiang indicated not that he had no past, but that this man had erased all traces related to him.
-
—Terrifying.
-
ManranyamaSouren had encountered someone like this for the first time.
-
No information meant the unknown, and the unknown equaled fear.
-
Moreover, the fact that this man easily saw through their disguise and knew their true identities, as well as the details of their current actions, made him unnerving even if he wasn't an enemy, but rather an ally.
-
"Ah, if only I had known, I wouldn't have kindly reminded you." (Xingyeyexiang)
-
Just when ManranyamaSouren was still extremely nervous, Xingyeyexiang, on the contrary, sighed with his hands on his hips.
