Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet
chapter-2246

2246 Do you want to know the truth?

“Didn’t you hear me?” Si Xia looked confused. “Could it be… I didn’t speak clearly enough or does everyone have hearing problems? I said… I want to dominate the Independent State and all of you only have two paths to take: Submit or die. Take your pick.”

Everyone broke into guffaws. Was the President of the Martial Arts Union’s head crushed by a door? Wasn’t he delusional for saying something idiotic like this here?!

“Who do you think you are?” The Clan Leader of the Direct Line mocked him.

Si Xia didn’t respond to him and set his gaze on Yi Shuihan. “How about you come to my side and help me, Yi Shuihan? How about it?”

“What do you think?” Yi Shuihan questioned back.

“I think…” Si Xia’s lips turned up. “You should be quite willing to come and help me.”

Before Yi Shuihan could answer, Si Xia shook his head and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry to reply… Yi Shuihan, I know your story. Yi Shuihan… I also know you don’t know the truth. Do you really think that girl was sent by the Collateral Branch to assassinate you…?”

“What are you saying?” Yi Shuihan’s eyes glinted coldly.

“Do you want to know the truth… How about it? Come and help me. In exchange, I’ll tell you the truth of the matter,” Si Xia said with a smile.

Si Xia added, “Oh right, I hope you will take my words seriously. Perhaps you think you can interrogate me under torture and force the truth out of me… I really can’t defeat you, but I’m a lunatic. If you don’t agree, you will never know the truth. How about it?”

Yi Shuihan fell into silence.

It was a long while before Yi Shuihan finally nodded and said, “Alright, if your truth is greatly different from the one I know, I will help you.”

“Deal. You are a man of your words; I trust you.” Si Xia nodded. “Do you think that girl really wanted to poison you but couldn’t bear to do it after falling in love with you, which led to your mother accidentally consuming the poisoned food?”

“What do you mean?” Yi Shuihan asked with a frown.

“Heh. The truth was that the girl didn’t love you at all to begin with… She was merely an emotionless sacrificial soldier trained from the time she was a child. People like her are brainwashed at a young age and won’t fall in love or be moved at all. They only know how to follow orders… Do you know? That girl wasn’t related to the Collateral Branch at all. Everything that happened was a result of the Direct Line’s schemes.”

“Bullsh*t!”

Jiang Ying yelled furiously.

However, the Collateral Branch was strangely silent. They weren’t for anything like this, but Yi Shuihan doggedly chased after them and after all this trouble, it turned out to be a Direct Line scheme…

“Clan Leader Jiang Ying, don’t be so aggravated. Allow me to tell the whole story first,” Si Xia said in good humor.

“He’s here to mislead us! Kill him!” After Jiang Ying said that, several experts from the Direct Line were tempted to attack Si Xia.

However, Yi Shuihan instantly stepped in front of Si Xia and forced the experts back. “Scram!”

“Isn’t this interesting…? Back then, the Direct Line discovered Yi Shuihan and was amazed by Yi Shuihan’s martial talents. If they could obtain Yi Shuihan’s assistance, they would have double the power in making a comeback to the Independent State… Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan didn’t follow that route and never had any contact with the Direct Line… Soon, the Direct Line concocted a scheme, which was to frame the Collateral Branch using a beautiful top-notch female sacrificial soldier. The female sacrificial soldier followed the plan and feigned a chance encounter with Yi Shuihan. At that time, Yi Shuihan was experiencing his first awakening of love, so how could he escape from the hands of this perfectly trained female sacrificial soldier? Then Yi Shuihan brought the sacrificial soldier home… Later, the sacrificial soldier poisoned the food and killed his mother.”
