Chapter 1428: Chapter 1114: One Secret Left

"This...

Are you joking with me, Misha? Why do I feel like this is so... so absurd!

Why would Khodorkovsky help you create a false identity?

And since my father-in-law knows your true identity, why hasn’t he revealed it?

Can you explain more clearly? I’m a bit confused."

Rossiyana stammered, evidently unable to wrap her mind around the situation.

Wang Ye had known for a long time that if he was to be honest with Rossiyana about his identity, he would inevitably need to explain everything from the beginning, and he was mentally prepared for that.

So, he patiently recounted how he graduated from high school and came to Moscow to study abroad, how he made his first pot of gold through business, and just happened to see the recruitment event at New Sun Market and planned to buy a shop there, where he met Khodorkovsky, and fate’s gears began to turn...

To express gratitude for saving his life and to facilitate his development, Khodorkovsky crafted a fake identity for him, and that’s how "Mikhail" was born!

After that, it was a series of impressive performances in the marketplace by Wang Ye, and, by a stroke of luck, he successfully ran for Duma Member and embarked on a political career...

Honestly, looking back at the experiences of the past few years, even Wang Ye felt like he was listening to a story!

There were too many coincidences and opportunities, all indispensable!

If he had taken any wrong steps, not to mention not having his current wealth and status, he might have lost his life a long time ago...

As for Wang Ye’s explanation, although it sounded like a fairy tale to Rossiyana, she had to admit that it might just be the true reality!

Because every step matched up and made sense...

Oh, there’s still one thing that doesn’t make sense, why would her father-in-law, knowing that Wang Ye’s identity was fabricated, still watch him grow and evolve until today?

Thus, Rossiyana asked in puzzlement: "About my father-in-law, he..."

Wang Ye understood what she meant, and responded with a slight smile:

"At first, perhaps he thought a small player like me was insignificant.

He might even have deliberately kept me around as a way to confront Khodorkovsky in the future.

Later, as I quickly rose and shined in the political arena, perhaps my father-in-law developed an admiration for talent, wanting to nurture me to see how far I could grow, and possibly even recruit me into his ranks to become his strong arm.

However...

It can only be described as a stroke of fate, now he no longer uses that identity to control me, nor can he see me as a trivial figure anymore.

Revealing my identity wouldn’t be of much benefit to him; rather, it would provoke my counterattack, a loss bigger than the gain.

As a seasoned politician, he naturally wouldn’t commit such a self-detrimental act.

But, if I ever pose a serious threat to his position, then that identity becomes a weapon for him to attack me!

This is also why during this General Election, I’ve been neutral, not willing to openly support you.

Because that’s equivalent to standing against my father-in-law, and I can’t guarantee he wouldn’t exploit my identity in a critical moment..."

By this point, Wang Ye had finally clarified why he had been ambivalent and hadn’t endorsed Rossiyana in the General Election.

Rossiyana tilted her head and thought for a moment, feeling his explanation quite reasonable. If she were in his shoes, she might have made the same choice, silently enduing immense pressure!

Regarding Wang Ye’s secret identity, she felt completely indifferent, rather a sense of relief.

Originally, she thought Wang Ye was unwilling to help her in the General Election because he had no real affection for her, that their union was just a matter of convenience, so she had been quite unhappy recently.

After all, being a girl, she still cared deeply about such matters.

She had always wanted Wang Ye to make a stand, also to prove that he did have feelings for her...

Now she finally understood that Wang Ye had his own difficulties, and it wasn’t unwillingness to help her!

Unexpectedly, Rossiyana felt somewhat happy...

With her worries cleared up, her mind also became more agile, and she clutched Wang Ye’s arm, worriedly saying:

"I really don’t care about your identity, whether you’re a student studying abroad from China or Khodorkovsky’s direct nephew, in front of me, you are Mikhail, my husband.

But just like you said, might father-in-law use your identity in the future to force you to do certain things.

Ah...

If after a while, he asks you to come forward to support Medvedev, what will you do?"

Wang Ye patted her hand, comforting:

"That’s unlikely. Actually, my father-in-law and I have an understanding.

Unless it’s truly time to sever ties, he wouldn’t exploit my identity.

Because he can only use that trump card once, and then it’s ineffective.

But once used, it would lead to a destructive end, and he’s well aware of that.

This General Election, by declaring early that I wouldn’t participate or take sides, not supporting anyone, my goal was to make it clear to father-in-law not to drag me into this, he can exercise his own skills, but if he can’t ensure Medvedev’s entry to the Kremlin by himself, it has nothing to do with me!

So, up until now, even if Medvedev’s prospects aren’t very promising, he hasn’t hinted at wanting my help."
