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

Chapter 1997: Taking the money but not doing the work

”Heh, I don’t care about the others, but our own Emperor Ji also disappeared. I hope that every one of you here is clean and innocent. Don’t let me find out who the culprit is. Or else… we aren’t opposed to destroying the good and bad alike. I believe everyone knows my behavior and style, right?” Guyu smiled faintly, his eyes sweeping across the room as he settled on the Martial Arts Union for a few moments longer.

”Heh, of course. Our Martial Arts Union has been using every power within our reach to investigate this matter, so I’m certain it won’t be long before a conclusion is reached,” the Vice President of the Martial Arts Union amiably responded.

”This is considered a significant matter. Which of you is missing a boss? Relying on your own investigation alone—how long will that take?” Nameless Nie said as he suddenly stood up. ”Hire me! My team and I are the most outstanding mercenaries in the Independent State. As long as you pay us, my boss would be like my real mom and dad. I will dig 3 feet underground—no, 30 feet—if necessary to find them! As long as payment is provided, there’s nothing we can’t do.”

Ye Wanwan: ”…”

This isn’t my real brother. I don’t freaking know him… I absolutely don’t!

Everyone turned to Nameless Nie.

”Enough already. Who doesn’t know Nameless Nie’s team is a group of swindlers famous for taking the money but not doing the work?” one of the leaders said.

Ye Wanwan: ”…”

”W-who said I take money but don’t do the work? Come out here and say that to my face if you have the guts! Since when have I ever taken the money but not done the work? Unless the money provided wasn’t enough!” Nameless Nie furiously shouted at once.

This time, Ye Wanwan could verify for that boss that Nameless Nie and his team really took the money but didn’t do much work.

If you depended on Nameless Nie and his team to search for someone, that person would probably decay into a skeleton and there still wouldn’t be any progress…

However, Nameless Nie’s team was occasionally fairly reliable, but this freaking depended on luck entirely, alright?

”Come! Ask President Bai of the Fearless Alliance whether my team is efficient at our job or not! And whether we’re the fastest and strongest or not!”

While Ye Wanwan was enjoying the show, Nameless Nie abruptly directed all inquiries to her.

Never would Ye Wanwan have expected this.

Ye Wanwan: ”…”You freaking…!

”Eh…” Embarrassment crawled onto Ye Wanwan’s face when she saw a number of gazes landing on her. She had no idea what to say.

”Actually, they’re fairly reliable. We’ve had several business dealings and Nameless’ team is very reliable every time…”

He was her actual brother, after all, so Ye Wanwan could only ignore her conscience and lie.

”Ask Guyu and Skeleton next. They’re part of Emperor Ji’s group,” Nameless Nie said.

”Um…”

Guyu furrowed his brows slightly before nodding a moment later. ”Very reliable…”

However, regardless of how beautifully the picture was painted, no one believed it, and Nameless Nie’s dream of becoming wealthy failed.

Xie Qianchuan quickly returned to business. ”I received news yesterday that the clan leader of the ancient Jiang clan went missing yesterday when he went outside. No one has heard from him since.”

”The leader of the… ancient Jiang clan?!”

Everyones’ expressions shifted. The leader of an ancient clan—what kind of notion was that?! Healsodisappeared?!

They all sunk into contemplation as they wondered:What in the world has been going on in the Independent State lately?

In the midst of fervent discussion, the door to the conference room was kicked open from the outside with a giganticBANG.
