1784: Around the Sprint Festival

Around the Sprint Festival

"Three and a half months ago."1

"That's around the time of the Spring Festival, right?"

Chi Yang nodded.

"Do you know her exact time of death?"

"I don't, but it should have been before the first day of the New Year."

Seeing that his wife had stopped talking, Chi Yang glanced at her with a smile. He could not help but ask, "Is your little head still trying to figure out who the person beside King is?"

Nuannuan looked at Chi Yang and smiled back. "You won't tell me anything, so you must want to keep it a secret. Even if I guessed, you wouldn't tell me if I was right or wrong for the sake of that person's safety."

"Are you angry?"

"How could I be?" Nuannuan smiled. "Not only am I not angry with you, but I think Big Brother Chi Yang is an honorable person who I can entrust my entire life with."

Chi Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Therefore, that shadow of a person can trust you with his life and not have to worry. He is willing to lay low for you because he knows you are trustworthy."

Chi Yang's eyes deepened, and he reached out to caress his understanding wife's soft hair.

"But..."

"But what?"

"But I think I know who the person behind King is!"

Nuannuan's voice was very soft, but her words were striking.

"What?" Chi Yang was shocked by her words.

She retrieved her phone and seemed to search for something on it. She pulled up a picture that she had protected and showed it to Chi Yang.

It was a profile picture that was not very clear.

"Based on their side profile, this is the frontal view Dan Qi constructed. We didn't find any information about this person within the country, so we suspected that he was probably foreign. I asked Dan Qi to search for information regarding his entry into the country, and I learned that he was a citizen of Sab. There was information about him getting on international flights, but it seems to have been faked. Upon entering Sab, he disappeared like a dragon diving into water. No matter how hard Dan Qi searched, he could not find anything—he was only one man, after all. This person would definitely be able to enter Camino undetected. He would probably change his identity and alter his appearance, too. However, bone structure cannot be changed. This gives us a little bit of an advantage. Therefore, Big Brother Chi Yang..."

"Leave it to me." Without uttering another word, Chi Yang turned on his computer and pulled up the photo that Nuannuan had shown him.

"Now, can you tell me why you think he's the person behind King? Also, why do you suspect Shi Yalin?"

Nuannuan had nothing to hide, nor did she have any reason to not tell the truth. She had sent her men after Shi Yalin. After killing Shi Yalin's men, Nuannuan's men also killed five members of the Shi family. Then, she put Shi Yalin into a vegetative state, but she happened to be saved by a mysterious person. After little more than an hour, Shi Yalin woke up. However, upon waking, she was no longer the same Shi Yalin that Chi Yang knew.

"Big Brother Chi Yang, if what you say about Viper dying three and a half months ago is true, then this man must be the person behind King, the man who is actually controlling KE. He must have used a secret method to allow Viper to take hold of Shi Yalin's body. Thus, even though Shi Yalin appears the same on the outside, her core has changed. This would explain why her eyes seemed so unfamiliar when she woke up."
