Perfect Secret Love novel Chapter 2198

"There's no hurry." Ye Wanwan shook her head. "I have something to ask you."

"Please speak, President Bai," the elderly man said.

"My parents... the madam and patriarch of the Nie family... they were captured by the Direct Line, right?" Ye Wanwan asked him.

"Yes." The elderly man from the Direct Line nodded frankly.

Ye Wanwan: "..."

Ye Wanwan didn't expect this old man from the Direct Line to be this honest... he was too honest... She didn't freaking know how to respond...

"I know President Bai has some misunderstandings toward our Direct Line, and the main cause of this misunderstanding is Nie Linglong." The elderly man smiled at Ye Wanwan. "In truth, the Direct Line has too many members, and a member like Nie Linglong is merely considered an offshoot and not worth a mention. Our Direct Line can't demand every member to obey the rules. Someone always acts recklessly and disobey the rules; there's nothing we can do."

The corners of Ye Wanwan's lips twitched. What kind of freaking twisted logic was this?! The Direct Line's members were disobeying the rules and acting recklessly outside, but it was unrelated to their Direct Line?

Couldn't he have some shame?!

"In truth, Nie Linglong is extremely ambitious. To be quite honest, the Direct Line doesn't like overly ambitious people like her, so we've already kicked her out of the Direct Line. As for President Bai's parents, they were captured by Nie Linglong," the elderly man continued.

Ye Wanwan: "..."

For some reason, Ye Wanwan suddenly started respecting the Direct Line for being able to say something like this without skipping a beat and tossing away all responsibility so cleanly. They truly had thick hides.

After all, Nie Linglong was dead, so they could say whatever they wanted.

"President Bai, if you're willing to join the Direct Line and persuade your parents to support the Direct Line, we can immediately release them," the elderly man added.

"Heh... let's not waste our breaths... Tell me, just who was the mysterious person Nie Linglong reported to? He and Nie Linglong killed my brother, so I will make them pay with their lives!" A cold glint flashed across Ye Wanwan's eyes.
