Chapter 615: Chapter 360: The Chairman’s Identity, Lake Hunting’s Fourth Member (Two-in-One Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Really...?"

Su Zimai was stunned, murmuring in disbelief, as she looked up to meet Gu Zhuo’s gaze.

"Of course it’s true. Why would Dad lie to you?" Gu Zhuo asked, somewhat irritably.

Suddenly, Su Zimai thought of something, and her eyes widened slowly, "So... does this mean that Grandpa is actually the president of the Chinese Exorcist Association?"

After speaking, she looked up in shock, exchanging glances with Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo was taken aback, "Xiaomai, are you serious?"

"Of course I’m serious!" Su Zimai analyzed fluently, "The leader mentioned that, actually, at the very beginning, it was the president of the Chinese Branch who asked her to find me... I was wondering who that president could be and why they knew me!"

"Moreover, until now, I haven’t met the president of the Exorcist Association. Every time I ask the leader, she says the president doesn’t want her to reveal his identity."

Upon thinking of this, Su Zimai suddenly realized, "But if Grandpa is the president, then it makes sense why he wouldn’t want me to know who he is, because he’s worried I’d recognize his identity! Even though I haven’t met him."

Gu Zhuo pondered, nodding, "What you said makes sense. I will ask your father next time I have a chance, he might really be the president of the Chinese Branch..."

"Right, right?" Su Zimai counted on her fingers, looked up, and said, "If you think about it, everyone in our family is quite amazing."

"Yeah, yeah, but Xiaomai here is the most amazing." Gu Zhuo said nonchalantly, one hand on his hip.

Indeed, he had never known what Su Wei had been doing all these years, only that Su Wei was very disappointed with Su Ying’s decision to marry him, so he ignored their family.

If Su Wei had been serving as the president of the Chinese Branch, it would make sense. With Su Wei’s identity and abilities, no one was more suited for this position.

This was also equivalent to Lake Hunting indirectly taking over the Chinese Exorcist Association, after all, Su Wei was an Invisible Executor for Lake Hunting, but never publicly disclosed this identity.

When the International Exorcist Association formulated the treaty, it was explicitly stipulated that the president and high-level positions of the Chinese Exorcist Association could not be held by people from Lake Hunting.

Because they must be responsible for supervising and restraining Lake Hunting’s actions, this was also a form of indirect constraint on Lake Hunting.

If the International Exorcist Association were merely an exorcist force, Lake Hunting certainly would not listen to them, as Lake Hunting itself was the most powerful exorcist organization in the world.

But it’s lamentable that the International Exorcist Association is backed by Rainbow Wings and has close ties with the United Nations. Therefore, their intentions are tantamount to the intentions of the United Nations, as the saying goes, "the dog wags its master’s might".

Thus, back then, Lake Hunting promptly gave up direct control over the Chinese Branch.

But if what Su Zimai said is true, and Su Wei is indeed the president of the Exorcist Association, then nobody from the United Nations would ever guess that this president is also a member of Lake Hunting.

And Lake Hunting had long since secretly controlled the entire Chinese Branch, making the invisible constraints from the United Nations meaningless to them.

Su Zimai, holding her chin in thought for a moment, said, "If Grandpa is really the president, then that means my leader was adopted by Grandpa when she was a child."

"Father-in-law adopted Ke Qirui?" Gu Zhuo asked.

"You mean Ke Qirui?" Gu Qiye raised his eyebrows, finally looking up and joining the conversation between the two.

Su Zimai turned her head and looked at him disdainfully, thinking to herself, ’Dear brother, you’re finally acknowledging us, haven’t you been thinking about that white-haired little guy?’

She sighed, holding back her urge to mock him, and said in a low voice, "Yes, if Grandpa really is the president, then the leader being adopted by him means she’s his foster daughter. The leader is younger than Mom, so she would be Mom’s sister, and thus our aunt."

Gu Qiye was dumbfounded, "Ke Qirui is... my and your aunt?"

Su Zimai nodded earnestly.

Gu Qiye remained silent. He raised his hand to hold his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "Don’t rush, let me sort this out."

"Take your time," Su Zimai said, turning to look at Gu Zhuo, "So, where’s Grandpa now?"

"He doesn’t want me to tell you." Gu Zhuo hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"Alright, fine, I won’t go to see him, okay?" Su Zimai frowned and asked, "I just want to know if he’s the one who secretly arranged for the leader to meet me."

"Xiaomai, Wenyu and your grandpa have a good relationship, so... Grandpa isn’t feeling well now," said Gu Zhuo, "He’s getting old, try to understand."

"Alright..." Su Zimai nodded lightly, "By the way, where’s that white-haired little guy from earlier?"

After speaking, she turned her head to stare at Gu Qiye.

"There were two white-haired little guys just now, which one are you referring to?" Gu Qiye asked with a chuckle, seemingly having given up trying to figure out Ke Qirui’s relationship with him.

"Of course, the male one! The female one might still be sleeping in your room, do I even need to ask?"

"Oh, as for little Cezar, he’s already left. He said he needs to travel the world to gather useful Anecdote Fragments in preparation for the upcoming Salvation Society battle, so he won’t be returning to Hai Fan City with us." Gu Qiye said.

"What is that little guy thinking?" Su Zimai asked, puzzled, "Isn’t he just courting death?"

Gu Qiye shook his head silently.

He also thought Cezar’s actions were like a moth to a flame, but he had no standing to stop him, only advising him to be careful and suggesting that he retreat if things don’t work out.
