Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet
chapter-2168

“It wasn’t that he foresaw you getting captured here. It was just that I needed to hand this letter to you whether you came here or I eventually escaped,” Haitang explained.

Ye Wanwan didn’t dither and opened the letter.

It had to be said that Ji Xiuran’s handwriting was outstanding. In contrast, her handwriting was composed of scribbles.

“You mustn’t investigate the matter relating to the Direct Line anymore. Remember that… In truth, I don’t have a grand dream. I just want a plot of good field and a simple life. I want to engage in small business and live plainly.”

These brief words were enough to make Ye Wanwan dumbstruck in her spot.

He told her to stop investigating the Direct Line and also mentioned a plot of good field… and a simple life…

Could some celestial being come down from the heavens and tell her what Ji Xiuran’s letter meant and what he wanted to convey?

Why didn’t he want her to investigate the Direct Line?

Furthermore, what the heck did “a simple life” mean? She didn’t understand it at all, alright?

And even if there was a reason behind this, he should’ve at least informed her of the reason, right?

Upon seeing Ye Wanwan’s peculiar expression, Haitang asked curiously, “What is it…? What did he write?”

“Haitang, you didn’t read Ji Xiuran’s letter to me?” Ye Wanwan responded.

Haitang shook her head. “Never. Ji Xiuran intended this letter for you, so why would I read it without your permission?”

Ye Wanwan naturally didn’t doubt Haitang’s character.

She immediately handed the letter to Haitang. “See for yourself, Haitang.”

Haitang accepted Ji Xiuran’s letter with a puzzled expression.

A moment later, her brows furrowed together.

“Can you… understand what Ji Xiuran tried to say?” Ye Wanwan asked the other woman.

“Eh… I really don’t.” Haitang shook her head.

Why did Ji Xiuran mention the Direct Line out of nowhere?

Moreover, what did a plot of good field, conducting some business and living simply mean…? Those words didn’t seem to connect to the earlier instructions for Ye Wanwan to stop investigating the Direct Line at all.

Ye Wanwan sighed exasperatedly. Was Ji Xiuran giving her a decryption game…?

Unfortunately, her intelligence was limited and she seriously couldn’t figure out what information Ji Xiuran was trying to give her.

Truthfully, couldn’t he have spoken more straightforwardly?

“Did Ji Xiuran leave any other words for me?” Ye Wanwan inquired.

“Not really. However… during his deduction, I think Ji Xiuran mentioned there had to be a mysterious person who formed a connection with the Direct Line behind the scenes, and that mysterious person most likely isn’t a member of the Direct Line. Instead, he must be in the dark giving directions… and perhaps even using the Direct Line to accomplish something,” Haitang answered after some thinking.

“A mysterious person?”

Ye Wanwan was pensive. Was it the mysterious person who Third Elder said Nie Linglong had gone to see in the middle of the night…? And also the person who kept wanting to steal her ring?

Ye Wanwan didn’t wasn’t certain whether that mysterious person was a member of the Direct Line or using the Direct Line. She had no idea. However, Ji Xiuran’s speculation was completely on point on one matter.

The mysterious person really did use the Direct Line to have them steal her ring.

Based on Ji Xiuran’s deduction, Ye Wanwan deducted something else.

The mysterious person definitely knew the ring she wore represented the paramount power of the Rose of Death and the owner of this ring could command the Rose of Death and become their new Eric.
