Chapter 232 The True and False Mist Vine
Upon hearing this, Sanada Haruhi's expression hardened. "Who are you looking for?"
Aoi Taro didn't mince words and said seriously, "A man named Wu Shan."
"Wu Shan?! Isn't he already dead? Why are you looking for him?" Sanada Haruhi asked in shock.
Looking at her, Aoi Taro touched his chin. "You know him?"
Sanada Haruhi certainly knew this person, but only to a certain extent; she wasn't very familiar with him. She had only met Wu Shan a few times many years ago.
I heard that he died not long after he escaped from that place, so why did Master still ask me to find him?
Sanada Haruhi looked at Aoi Taro and said, "I met Wu Shan a few times many years ago, but as far as I know, he is dead!"
What does Master mean by this order?
Aoi Taro chuckled, "It's exactly what you think. You got false information. Wu Shan isn't dead."
In fact, he's still alive and well! Do you know about Mist Vine?
"I know, aren't you Master's liaison officer here?"
"That's right, but do you know who this Wuteng is?" Aoi Taro asked, drawing out his words.
Sanada Haruhi was misled by his words, "Could this guy named Kirito be Wushan?! Really?!"
"I see. No wonder I heard he was dead. He was hiding here under an assumed name. Then why bother looking for him? Why not just call him over?"
Aoi Taro was amused by Sanada Haruhi's series of reactions. "Of course not, senior sister, how can you be so easily fooled? I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already come to a conclusion."
I was just asking you to guess, I didn't say that Wuteng was Wushan!
Sanada Haruhi was somewhat annoyed. "Then what do you mean?"
"Wu Teng is not Wu Shan, but she is indeed closely related to Wu Shan. She is Wu Shan's eldest daughter, Wu Mei."
However, she was just the former Mizutō; she's not the same Mizutō anymore..." Aoi Taro smiled and handed Sanada Haruhi a photograph.
Sanada Haruhi was still trying to figure out what he meant when she casually took the photo and saw that it featured a woman she had never seen before.
She casually looked away, asking the question that concerned her most right now, "Why do you say that?"
“Master said that mist vine is a plant that grows rapidly in the mist. It has strong vitality and can climb on many things. He hoped that we could be like that, so he used mist vine as a code name.”
Before I came here, Wu Mei was the liaison person here; she was Wu Teng.
After I arrived here, I basically took over all the work, and Wu Mei stepped down to a secondary role.
I have never appeared in public, so on the surface, Wu Mei is still Wu Teng.
But actually, I should be the real mist vine now.
Therefore, there are actually two people who are now called "Mist Vine".
But I... am the real Mist Vine!
"Wu Mei is nothing more than a shield for me," Aoi Taro said slowly.
"So that's how it is. Is the woman in the photo Wu Mei?" Sanada Haruhi was startled.
So that's how it is! She had previously guessed who Wu Teng was and had sent many people to investigate.
The results of the investigation were inconsistent, and she wondered if someone had discovered that she was being misled.
So that's not it. It turns out that Wuteng was actually two people. No wonder she couldn't get accurate information.
“Why don’t you just go and ask her? She’s Wu Shan’s eldest daughter, and she’s working for you now. Wouldn’t it be easy for her to find her father?” Sanada Haruhi handed the photo back to him.
Aoi Taro didn't take the photo; instead, he gestured for her to accept it, saying, "If it were that simple, we wouldn't have specifically asked you to go."
