Years ago, Ling Yue had only heard that this woman had been secretly planning something and was about to act on it. Ever since, she had vanished without a trace.
Ling Yue wasnât important or close enough to get near that person. Without a doubt, she couldnât have known about her plans or what had happened afterward.
Not only had the woman vanished, but her close confidantes had gone missing as well.
Initially, Ling Yue hadnât believed that the woman had died. However, years had gone by and there had been no news of her. Thus, sheâd begun to accept reality.
That aloof, powerful woman had probably died after an unforeseen event.
Initially, Ling Yue had felt lost when she had no longer received any instructions from the woman. Sheâd had no idea what she should do. However, she had managed to stay with the Pei Family and still lead an ordinary life. It didnât seem to be such... a bad idea to leave that dangerous, mysterious industry.
She had almost forgotten her past until sheâd met Lin Yan.
Her memory of that woman and Lin Yan had been aligned.
Ling Yue had met the woman only once and briefly for less than ten seconds. If she had to describe the womanâs features... she feared that she wouldnât be able to do it.
Ever since she was a child, she had been living a life that ordinary people wouldnât even be able to imagine. She had been adopted by the womanâs subordinate and had started working for her since sheâd had nowhere else to go.
âXiaoyue?â
Lin Yan spoke softly as she noticed Ling Yue standing in a daze.
Lin Yanâs voice jolted Ling Yue back to her senses. She turned around to face Lin Yan once more.
How could this girl be that aloof and powerful woman? The girl before her was so approachable... She had hardly any air and they could even become good friends.
Friends... There was no way she could be friends with that woman. That woman was like the sun and moon, and everyone else was merely a speck of dust. That was how extreme the disparity was.
âSister Yan, itâs nothing important. I just thought you resemble someone.â Ling Yue glanced at Lin Yan and smiled warmly.
âSomeone?â Lin Yan sized Ling Yue up. âIs she someone close to you?â
Ling Yue fell deep in thought.
She had merely been one of the womanâs lowest subordinates. That summed up their relationship.
Ling Yue shook her head instantly. âOf course Iâm not close to her. She is a super-powerful monster.â
Lin Yan felt rather awkward as she looked at Ling Yue. âDo you mean that I look like a super-powerful monster?â
She wasnât worthy enough!
âSister, youâre indeed a super-powerful monster of an industry,â Ling Yue remarked wistfully.
âHuh?â
Lin Yan was taken aback, as she had no clue what Ling Yue meant.
âThe legendary and famous Yeva.â Ling Yue grinned.
Lin Yan widened her eyes in surprise. How could she have known?
How did Ling Yue know everything about her?
âSister, Iâm actually an exceedingly capable intelligence agent... I have sources all over the world.â Ling Yue grinned brightly.
âAll over the world? Is the Pei Family that powerful?â Lin Yan was stunned.
If that was the case, wouldnât Pei Yutang and Pei Yucheng have known everything about her all along?
