"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 a.s.sa.s.sinate you today. If I wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate 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 h.e.l.l 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 a.s.sa.s.sin, 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 ma.s.saged 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 doc.u.ments 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 a.s.sa.s.sin… 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 doc.u.ment she was reading and focused on First Elder.

"President, there's someone from the Ling family here to see you," First Elder responded.
