Late at night, in the residence Yi Lingjun prepared for Ye Wanwan:
Ye Wanwan's eyes shot open. For some reason, she sensed movement outside the house and called Housekeeper Wu several times, but no one responded.
Ye Wanwan immediately dressed and walked toward the living room.
Pah!
Ye Wanwan flipped on the light switch in the living room, but the room didn't light up as she expected.
Ye Wanwan didn't give up and persistently flipped it several more times but received the same results.
"The power's out?" Ye Wanwan was puzzled. In all her time in the Independent State, she'd never heard about the power going out.
"Miss Yi, don't waste your time. The electrical circuit has been cut, so you won't be able to turn on the lights in this house."
In the midst of Ye Wanwan's confusion, a crystal clear voice rang out from the sofa.
"Who?!"
This abrupt voice startled Ye Wanwan, an incredulous expression on her face.
Where were they? This was the house Yi Lingjun, the President of the Arbitration Council, arranged for his daughter, Yi Yunmo. Although it wasn't tightly guarded, it would be a lunatic's ravings to circumvent all of the security and guards and infiltrate this place.
Who in the world was this man? However, this man's voice sounded faintly familiar, giving her a sense of déjà vu. However, Ye Wanwan couldn't recall it at this very second.
"Heh... Miss Yi, you don't need to know who I am. You don't have the right to know either," the man replied with an airy chuckle.
As the man spoke, he lit a cigarette, the weak flame akin to the bright ray of the sun in this pitch-black house.
