Chapter 2364: A dry faggot on a blazing fire Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you—it’s that I can’t tell you.” Yuan Xiao considered it for a moment before saying, “You should know about my line of work. It’s one thing if I don’t finish the mission. If I reveal the employer’s identity and information… that’s too much. Even I wouldn’t be able to look at myself.” Ye Wanwan’s lip twitched. Was Yuan Xiao playing with her? “Will you tell me or not?” Ye Wanwan glared at him. “I also want to tell you, but I really can’t tell you… There is one thing though. With your intelligence and wisdom, you can think about it yourself and analyze it a little. Who would gain the most if Yi Yunmo, the daughter of the Arbitration Council’s president, died?” Yuan Xiao asked quietly, staring at Ye Wanwan. Ye Wanwan frowned lightly when she heard that. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 When Yi Lingjun announced her return in such a high-profile manner and informed everyone that his daughter would start working at the Arbitration Council, he was basically treating and training her as the heir of the Arbitration Council. Forget about everything else, but the mere point of training her as the heir of the Arbitration Council would impact the interests of too many people. And the one who would lose the most would be Vice President Qin of the Arbitration Council. If she hadn’t appeared, then the position of the Arbitration Council’s president would undoubtedly go to Vice President Qin after Yi Lingjun’s term ended. However, everything changed following her appearance. “So… You’re insinuating it was Vice President Qin?” Ye Wanwan asked Yuan Xiao. “Worriless Nie, I didn’t say anything about Vice President Qin.” Yuan Xiao shook his head. “Do you think Vice President Qin is stupid? Even if Vice President Qin had those intentions, he wouldn’t be the one making a personal appearance. Forget about him; not a single person from the Qin family would appear. If a plot came to light, no one would be able to follow the trail to the Qin family. They’ve never lacked a scapegoat.” “So what you’re saying is… Vice President Qin found a scapegoat and had the scapegoat meet with you and issued this mission. Whether this mission is accomplished or not, the Arbitration Council could merely track down the scapegoat no matter how much they investigated, and they wouldn’t discover a single connection to Vice President Qin,” Ye Wanwan said after a moment of thought. “Haha, Worriless, you said it all yourself. I didn’t say anything… Moreover, I didn’t name Vice President Qin; I merely followed your path of thought and made some speculations. You yourself said there’s a scapegoat, so I only know who the scapegoat is at most. How could I know the mastermind? You’re better off thinking about it yourself.” Ye Wanwan hummed in thought. She was almost certain that the person who wanted her life was connected to the Qin family, and the scapegoat Yuan Xiao mentioned might very well be… Yin Heng… After saying that, Yuan Xiao lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before turning to the contemplative Ye Wanwan. He clapped her on the shoulder and said, “Alright, it’s a bunch of dry sticks on a blazing fire when a man and woman are alone. It’s not good to stay in the same room together. I’ll leave now or else your brother will fight with me for three days if he finds out. Contact me if you need anything else.” Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched. “What freaking dry sticks on a blazing fire…” He clearly wanted to kill her just a moment ago! Ye Wanwan had just said that when footsteps were heard from the door. Then the door was opened and Si Yehan appeared in sight with Lin Que, who was staring at Yuan Xiao and her in stupefaction, behind him…
