章節 2257: Dissimilar people don't become family

Si Yehan nodded and Yu Shao promptly straightened himself before standing behind the man.

Si Xia glared intently at Si Yehan, his scarlet eyes popping from their sockets. "SI YEHAN!!!"

Si Yehan! It was actually Si Yehan!

He considered every possibility but still underestimated his Ninth Uncle.

He was a mere step from success but he failed at the last hurdle…

Ye Wanwan looked at Si Yehan then looked at the masked man who bowed at Si Yehan, her face stunned. Half a day passed before she regained her wits. "Ah-Jiu, you…"

What did Yu Shao call Si Yehan just now?

Director?

Si Yehan was actually one of the Arbitration Council's twelve directors?

Ye Wanwan's eyes shot open. "You… you… you're a director of the Arbitration Council?"

This seriously was… dissimilar people don't become family… She thought she had enough alternate identities, but who would've expected her baby to hold up to her just as well?

No wonder… no wonder Grandpa said a higher-up from the Arbitration Council protected her…

No wonder nobody could find those missing Independent State leaders despite searching for so long, while Si Yehan managed to pinpoint the location of that island. It turned out he had a spy—the Vice President.

Ye Wanwan's emotions were very conflicted. "So it was you who acted as my guarantor? When did you join the Arbitration Council…"

"Not long after you recovered your identity as Worriless Nie. I used some connections and learned about the Arbitration Council's Absolute Kill Order toward Worriless Nie back then, so I used some methods and obtained a position as a director. I'm sorry; I didn't mean to conceal it from you."

There were many things that even he couldn't predict, so he didn't want her to worry. If she knew about it beforehand, she absolutely wouldn't consent to him doing this.

Ye Wanwan: "…"

Although Si Yehan didn't show it conspicuously, she faintly knew that Si Yehan rejected and loathed the Arbitration Council.

Now though, he was willing to become a director of the Arbitration Council in order to protect her.

Without her knowing, this man did so many things for her.

Even though he painted things so lightly, how could it have been easy to advance to that position?

At that moment, the chubby director turned to Si Yehan with a grin and said, "It's thanks to Director Si's strategic maneuvers and preparations ahead of time that we were able to avoid a catastrophe. Otherwise, the consequences would've been inconceivable."

"You're too polite. It was my duty," Si Yehan returned.

After the polite exchange, the portly director turned to the Arbitration Council guards and commanded, "Take them all away."

As Si Xia watched his plan evaporating into nothing, he dazedly stood in his spot, as though all the energy had been sucked out of him. He kept mumbling something to himself, his spirit apparently having left him.

When Ye Wanwan saw this, her fingers reflexively clenched. Not only did he deploy firearms but he also did it on such a large scale. He didn't listen to their urging and refused to come to his senses. His punishment definitely wouldn't be light…

However, at the last moment, Si Yehan had his spy swap out all of the bullets and explosives, which might've ended up saving his life at least.

Si Yehan gently embraced her and comfortingly patted her back.

All the dust had finally settled. Ye Wanwan greedily buried herself into Si Yehan's arms and was about to say something when she sensed something and a shiver ran down her back. She jolted and looked up at Si Yehan, furtively saying, "Baby, why do I feel like… that beautiful older sister over there doesn't seem to be looking at me right?"

"Older sister?" Si Yehan followed her line of sight.
