"Hmph, Si Xia. The more you live, the more you regress. You should at least have a bigger budget if you're going to fake something. Something like this? I can make several hundreds of these without a double any time I want!" Ye Wanwan said disdainfully.
Ye Wanwan pulled Si Yehan toward her and gently asked, "Baby, watch this video and see if it's fake. Tell my brother or else he'll think I'm deceiving him."
Si Yehan looked at the phone.
"Replay it," Si Yehan calmly said.
"Sure!" Ye Wanwan nodded and replayed the video. "What do you think—is it fake?
"Mn, it's fake," Si Yehan answered.
"Of course this is fake. Even Old Seven knows how to make this kind of video." Big Dipper leaned over and took a look. "But… this girl is seriously pretty… Those looks, tut tut… that figure… She's seriously like a sleeping beauty…"
"Heh, since it's like this, there's no need to bet," Si Xia said.
"Bet what? If you're so capable, bring her here and let us see her in person. Or tell us which hospital she's at and we can go and see for ourselves. If it's the truth, I'll kneel down and apologize to you," Ye Wanwan said.
"That's right, Worriless Nie is right." Nameless Nie nodded too.
"No need to see her in person." Si Xia smiled faintly.
The phone screen suddenly flashed. Someone was video calling them.
Ye Wanwan immediately picked up the call.
The Vice President of the Martial Arts Union instantly appeared on the other end of the call—in that same hospital room.
"Vice President, let them see Ling Miao," Si Xia shouted.
The Vice President promptly aimed the camera at the young woman on the hospital bed.
"Ling Miao…"
Nameless Nie trembled.
"Baby, this… should also be fake, right? Video calls can also be CGIed and faked, right…?" Ye Wanwan turned to Si Yehan.
Si Yehan was silent for a moment before nodding. "Mm."
"You want me to bring Ling Miao here? Do you think it's possible?" Si Xia snorted at Ye Wanwan. "I'm not a child."
Ye Wanwan wanted to say something else but couldn't utter anything. She really couldn't continue to smother her conscience.
She originally wanted to trick Si Xia into bringing Ling Miao here, but judging from the current situation, it wouldn't be an easy feat. If only this guy's intelligence was the same as Big Dipper's, it would be a lot simpler…
"Just what happened back then? Why is Ling Miao still alive?" Ye Wanwan questioned before Nameless Nie could say anything.
"In truth, it's very simple," Si Xia responded. "The Arbitration Council laid pressure on Grandpa and forced him to eliminate Ling Miao, so Grandpa used Nameless Nie's life to threaten Ling Miao and made her meet him on her own. He also contacted nearly all of the factions in the Independent State and launched a destructive attack on Ling Miao. After they got their way, everyone thought Ling Miao died. However, Ling Miao was Nameless Nie's most beloved woman, after all, so Grandpa was soft-hearted in the end and rescued Ling Miao."
Nameless Nie's expression shifted.
"Unfortunately, Ling Miao suffered serious injuries, so even though she survived, she's still lying in a hospital bed and hasn't woken up," Si Xia continued.
"Bring me to her." Nameless Nie looked at Si Xia.
"No need for the rush. I told you I'd let you see her as long as you're willing to assist me. Her current situation is very stable," Si Xia replied.
"Alright, I'll agree." Nameless Nie didn't waste his words.
