Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

“It looks like you aren’t planning to tell the truth.” Ye Wanwan looked at Si Xia.

Si Xia smiled faintly at that. “Worriless Nie, do you really think you can rescue the people on this island? In reality… are you actually saving people or are you killing people?”

Before Ye Wanwan could respond, Si Xia’s figure flickered and melded into the dark. He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

“Worriless… What just happened?”

Haitang asked Ye Wanwan after Si Xia left.

Ye Wanwan seemed to be familiar with the President of the Martial Arts Union.

Ye Wanwan shook her head. This matter was too complicated and couldn’t be explained in a few words.

“We need to find Si Xia,” Ye Wanwan said.

“Alright,” Haitang agreed.

Ye Wanwan and Haitang immediately combed the perimeters of the island in search of Si Xia.

However, this island was too large, and they were unable to find Si Xia.

“Haitang, keep this matter a secret for now so we don’t affect everyone’s morale,” Ye Wanwan instructed Haitang before they parted ways.

If everyone knew the President of the Martial Arts Union was on the island and knew they were about to escape the island…

“I understand.” Haitang nodded.

…

The next morning, Ye Wanwan sought out Si Yehan and told him everything that happened last night with Si Xia.

When Si Yehan heard the story, he didn’t appear very surprised.

“Ah-Jiu, don’t tell me you knew Si Xia was the President of the Martial Arts Union a long time ago.” Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows.

The man shook his head. “I didn’t.”

“…” Why are you so calm if you didn’t know then?! That’s your real nephew!

“I already told you back in China to not trust him.” Si Yehan looked at her.

“What do you know?” Ye Wanwan asked curiously.

“I once looked into him,” Si Yehan answered after a moment of thought. “He frequently enters and leaves the Independent State, but I was unable to discover his true identity despite the resources at my disposal.”

Si Yehan was suspicious of and took precautions against Si Xia long ago, so he wasn’t surprised after learning that Si Xia was the President of the Martial Arts Union.

Moreover, Si Yehan was well aware of how Si Bayi brought Si Xia back to the Independent State years ago and used Si Xia as a bargaining chip to return to the ancient Si clan, but Si Xia didn’t pass the exams.

Si Yehan never cared about Si Bayi, but his nephew, Si Xia, concealed himself very deeply.

“What should we do now? Si Xia knows about our plan, so…” Ye Wanwan was somewhat concerned.

Si Yehan wasn’t worried about this though and replied, “This island masks all signals completely, and all communication devices are nulled. It takes two days to return to the Independent State from this island, so even if Si Xia knows about our plan and wants to stop it, he can’t do it in time.”

Only then were Ye Wanwan’s worries assuaged.

…

Soon, three days had passed.

Ye Wanwan and many leaders acted according to the plan and lit the entire island on fire. It wasn’t long before heavy smoke enveloped the island.

“Say, Bai Feng, you better not harm us. If a ship doesn’t come, we’ll all be suffocated to death.”
