Yan Qianyi paused, connecting the call.
On the other side, Xia Ziyu’s anxious voice ca through, "Qianyi! Two days ago when you attempted to assassinate Mr. Dai, did your mask fall off?!"
"Um, soone by his side was quite formidable, difficult to handle," Yan Qianyi said.
At that mont, an Energy Bullet had just grazed the side of her face.
If she had reacted half a second later, her face would have been disfigured.
"Why didn’t you tell about this?!"
"It’s not sothing to be proud of. What’s there to talk about?" Yan Qianyi was indifferent.
"But soone captured a photo of your face at the ti, and now that picture is all over the internet! So netizens have recognized that the person in the photo is you!"
"What?"
"I’ll send it to you, have a look for yourself."
Xia Ziyu imdiately sent the news article that Mu Yunlie had been looking at earlier into Yan Qianyi’s personal system.
Yan Qianyi opened it and looked, the photograph was quite blurry, taken at night, and the lighting was poor.
But upon close inspection, indeed, one could make out that the person in the photo was her.
Xia Ziyu said, "At breakfast today, my parents have already discussed this matter."
Yan Qianyi asked, "Do they also think the person in the photo is ?"
"No, they just think it resembles , but they don’t believe it. Plus, I was there to speak up for you."
"Then there’s no issue."
"What do you an no issue? Now, your identity as Cat Immortal has beco the number one most wanted in the interstellar space. If Cat Immortal isn’t caught, what will happen if soone takes advantage of this and slings mud at you?"
Yan Qianyi chuckled and calmly said, "Don’t worry, it’s just a blurry photo for now. It cannot serve as evidence to arrest . Aside from this photo, there absolutely can’t be any other evidence at the scene that proves it was ."
Without evidence that she was the Assassin, no one could do anything to her.
After all, everything nowadays depends on evidence.
That’s why she had beco "Cat Immortal."
"Has the Commander asked you anything?" Xia Ziyu asked. "Although there’s no other evidence, he is the person closest to you, and he should be able to recognize from the photo that it’s you. Have you figured out how to explain it to him?"
Yan Qianyi blinked, "That... actually, I hadn’t really thought about it."
It was only now that she realized why Ah Lie had gotten up so early today.
It seed he too was aware of this situation.
"My goodness, you’d better think of sothing fast! I’m freaking out for you, how can you be so calm?"
"No rush, no rush, I’m thinking about it now. Also, hurry up and collect Mr. Dai’s cris and release them so the whole world knows his true face. That way, the focus won’t be on anymore; people might even give that mysterious Assassin a thumbs-up."
"I’m already preparing it, I’ll try to send it out tonight," Xia Ziyu said.
Mr. Dai was an internationally renowned philanthropist with an exceptionally good reputation; if just any evidence were released, the public would never be convinced.
So, the evidence had to be carefully compiled before being released.
"Okay, I will leave this matter to you, I’m hanging up now."
Yan Qianyi disconnected the voice call, biting her lip in thought.
How would she explain this to Ah Lie later?
If she couldn’t co up with anything, then just play dumb.
Yan Qianyi continued to the door of the study, knocked lightly twice, and pushed the door open.
Mu Yunlie looked up at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "You have co at the right ti. I have sothing interesting to show you."
Moved by curiosity, Yan Qianyi walked over and turned to look at the Light Screen in front of Mu Yunlie.
"Ah!" she suddenly exclaid, "This person looks so much like !"
Mu Yunlie turned his gaze towards her, "Are you sure it just looks like you?"
"What else?" Yan Qianyi blinked in confusion, "You don’t think it’s , do you? Hahaha... how could I possibly be that capable!"
"Even now, you won’t admit it?" Mu Yunlie’s expression darkened, speaking seriously, "It seems I have been too indulgent with you!"
Yan Qianyi pouted, looking aggrieved, "Ah Lie, I really don’t understand what you’re saying."
"Don’t understand, huh? Alright." Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, "Then let show you sothing else that’s interesting."
The scene on the Light Screen switched to the household’s surveillance footage.
In the footage, a Catwoman dressed in black agilely leaped over the wall of the house.
Yan Qianyi suddenly gasped in shock, "Oh my! She even ca into our house?!"
"..." Mu Yunlie pulled down the corners of his mouth harshly.
She really wouldn’t shed a tear until she saw her own coffin.
But then, he didn’t want her to cry either.
Mu Yunlie said with resignation, "Qianyi, stop joking around, I’ve known for a long ti that you are that Catwoman."
Yan Qianyi was stunned for a mont, looking at Mu Yunlie’s piercing gaze.
Oops, she couldn’t keep up the act any longer.
Mu Yunlie continued, "The reason I never exposed you is because I know those who died by your hand were criminals that the law couldn’t punish. I thought, you were delivering justice in your own way, so I just let you be. But... this ti, the person you targeted was a great ’philanthropist’ in everyone’s eyes."
"He’s no philanthropist. All those deeds, they’re just a sham, just to cover up his cris!"
Looking at Yan Qianyi’s indignant expression, Mu Yunlie smiled, "So you finally admit that the person in the photo is you?"
"You’ve already found out, what’s the use of my denying it? Anyway, I don’t regret killing him. He deserved to die! I think his death was too easy!"
Mu Yunlie nodded lightly, "I know he’s not a good person."
Yan Qianyi was surprised, "You know?"
"Um, just that there’s no evidence to punish him. Actually, I’ve also been keeping an eye on him, trying to catch any slip-up."
"Then why are you still angry? Are you mad that I killed him?"
Mu Yunlie said with resignation, "I’m not upset with you for killing him."
Yan Qianyi looked puzzled, "Then what are you upset about? Are you upset that I hid my identity from you?"
"No," Mu Yunlie took Yan Qianyi’s hand, "I’m upset that you went alone to face such a dangerous character. If you had to go, you should have known to protect yourself better, instead of exposing your identity. Do you know how scared I was when I saw that photo, you being attacked by so many people? What if you hadn’t co ho safely that night, what would Ruirui and I do without you?"
Yan Qianyi opened her mouth in speechless emotion, deeply moved.
So he wasn’t blaming her; he was worried about her.
"Little thing, you’re not alone anymore, you have and Ruirui. Whatever you do, you should first consider us, understand?"
Yan Qianyi’s eyes reddened slightly, she nodded, "I... I understand."
Mu Yunlie pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her head, "I’ll handle the issue with the photo. I won’t let anyone suspect you."
