Yi Lingjun grimly considered it for a moment and actually nodded a second later. "From the current looks of it, it appears that way."

Ye Wanwan: "…"

She didn't want to be his daughter anymore…

Ye Wanwan jubilantly suggested, "President Yi, how about we pick a lucky day and break off our relations.h.i.+p as father and daughter?"

Yi Lingjun's expression darkened instantly. "D*mn girl, I dare you to repeat that again?!"

"I will! I'm telling the truth anyway…"

Si Yehan exasperatedly reached out and patted the girl on the head. "Wanwan, don't act so impolitely towards the President."

Upon sensing the warmth on her head, Ye Wanwan immediately behaved docilely like a rabbit. "Dad, this daughter was wrong!"

Yi Lingjun: "…" Haha.

"Sir President, since it's like this, we can investigate things on the side." Si Yehan proceeded to talk business.

Yi Lingjun glared at Ye Wanwan before saying, "Mm, that's feasible."

"If it's truly Vice President Qin controlling everything from behind the scenes, there must be two reasons why he wants to eliminate the president's daughter in such haste. First, Yi Yunmo impeded his advancement to becoming the president. Second, Vice President Qin probably conducted shady dealings these past few years, and Yi Yunmo would adhere to the custom of completely investigating the Arbitration Council after becoming the president, and there's a great probability that Vice President Qin's shady dealings would be discovered." Si Yehan provided his a.n.a.lysis.

"Mn, you're right. From what I know, Qin Zong has been involved in some dirty affairs. I didn't pay much heed before, but now, I will thoroughly investigate it." Yi Lingjun smiled faintly.

…

Several days later, at the Yin Estate:

Yin Heng's expression was foreboding. He never expected Lord Yuan's a.s.sa.s.sination to end up in failure. Furthermore, Lord Yuan returned his down payment and gave up on this mission.

Considering Fengsha and Lord Yuan's strength, forget about a.s.sa.s.sinating merely Yi Yunmo, but he should've succeeded even if his missions was to a.s.sa.s.sinate any higher-up of the Arbitration Council aside from Yi Lingjun… So why did he fail this time?!

Yin Heng didn't have time to delve into that train of thought deeply. The failure of this a.s.sa.s.sination attempt was a rather large risk for him.

Although the Arbitration Council didn't possess any evidence, this matter was laid out on the table, and the President's mind must be as clear as a mirror that Vice President Qin was certainly connected to this incident. However, Vice President Qin wouldn't seek out an a.s.sa.s.sin himself while he, a member of the Yin family, would be the most appropriate person to complete the task…

"Ah-Zhong, was what you said before true? Do Yi Yunmo and Worriless Nie really look identical?" Yin Heng questioned the man next to him.

"That's right. There aren't any mistakes. Madam has always held her suspicions, but she merely didn't succeed in her tests. I really can't figure out how such a coincidental matter could happen in the world—for two people to look identical who aren't twins," Ah-Zhong quietly replied.

"Then is it possible that Yi Yunmo and Worriless Nie are real sisters… or perhaps Worriless Nie once had some secret relations.h.i.+p with President Yi…?" Yin Heng said with a frown.

"Eh… Young Master, that's impossible, right? Even if Worriless Nie's mother betrayed her father and had an affair with the President, Worriless Nie and Yi Yunmo would share a mother at most and wouldn't come from the same father, so how could they look identical…" Ah-Zhong answered.
