357 Clandestine Agreemen (2/2)
”Oh, it's nothing. Since you are responsible for looking over the set, I believe you should know where the thing that I'm looking for is.” Ye Shuang slowly pulled back her leg. However, she kept the tip of her feet pointing at the floor; she could attack whenever she wanted. In contrast to her aggressive stance, she smiled. ”Let's not waste both of our time, why don't you just give me the thing?”
”…I don't understand.” The staff stared at Ye Shuang, but he could not help his pupils from wandering away.
”Don't understand?” Ye Shuang thought about it and then said, ”Then we'll slowly try to understand it… Just now, Brother Luo didn't introduce me, so how did you know my surname is Ye?”
”I overheard Brother Luo mention your name before,” the staff replied in a second.
”That was too fast of an answer for me not to believe that you'd already prepared to lie to me before I even asked the question.” Ye Shuang shook her head. ”Plus, you couldn't have been more wrong because you wouldn't have heard my name from Brother Luo. He never refers to me by my surname due to some unique reason.”
After all, there were two 'Ye Shuang's, so there had to be a distinction when other people referred to them. Brother Shuang was Xiao Ye, and Sister Shuang was Xiao Shuang; even though this rule had not been officially set up, if Ye Shuang's friends knew both of her identities, then that was basically the term of reference that they were used to.
The staff refused to admit his mistake. ”Perhaps he used it when you weren't around, or could you have forgotten about it?”
Ye Shuang smiled. ”I have a very good memory.”
But she released how deep this rabbit hole could go, so she changed tactics. ”Regardless, here's another question. Even though you've swapped your identity, I have a clear memory of you appearing next to the little plainclothes before using another identity… Then, could you help explain to me what your interest is in the young man?”
Naturally, she had been present as Brother Shuang then, but both Ye Shuang's were one and the same. The plainclothes had a good relationship with Brother Shuang, and they even had gone out for meals or chats just the two of them for a few. It might not have been noticed if it had happened once or twice, but the person who had the same cranial structure and force of habit appearing around the young man for multiple times? How could Ye Shuang have missed out on a detail like that?
However, before this, Ye Shuang had not been paying much attention to the value of the information that the plainclothes carried, so she did not expose the man. Now that she realized that there was more potential to be unearthed, the questions that she had in the past were brought back into the present.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
The member of staff was stumped.
Ye Shuang blinked and lowered her voice to alluringly whisper, ”Even though I don't know whether you have a partner here or not, everyone saw earlier that it was Brother Luo who called you to bring me in here… If you give me the thing now, we can pretend to walk away from here not knowing each other. That way, at most, you'll be scolded by the people above you. Otherwise, you should expect the beating that is coming your way.”
The man remained silent, but his gaze moved to a corner behind Ye Shuang. He suddenly raised his voice and called out urgently, ”You cannot take this windbreaker—our team still needs to use it in later scenes!”
Ye Shuang turned back to look and grab the windbreaker with a smile.
In a profit-based organization, personal benefits always came first. To not be exposed and punished, forming a clandestine agreement with Ye Shuang was the only solution.
