Chapter 170: No More Pretenses—I'm Coming Clean: I'm Aya's Fiancé
🕑 Added 2025-10-31 19:40:45 +0000 UTCAs for Lu Yue, he was used to Nie Bing's "episodes" by now. He remarked calmly:
"Little Ya's right. Aya is absolutely fine.
"Officer Nie Bing, I hope this finally helps you let go of your obsession. Don't waste the effort Sister Aya put into inviting you here."
In Lu Yue's eyes, Aya was undoubtedly Little Ya's genuine elder sister, possessing wisdom that rivaled, if not surpassed, her younger sister's.
Such a perfect goddess, blessed with both wisdom and beauty, could never forget the shared memories she cherished with her mother.
And Aya's mother, having raised such an exceptional daughter, must have been immensely proud, cherishing every detail of their daily life in her heart.
With neither of them capable of faltering, how could their answers possibly misalign?
This verification attempt by Nie Bing was destined to be futile once again!
Many viewers in the live stream shared Lu Yue's skepticism regarding Nie Bing's renewed request to verify "Aya":
[I'm impressed! Little Bingbing really takes her meticulousness to the extreme!]
[I thought seeing Aya interact with Cifera and the other cats would have finally put her doubts to rest.]
[No wonder they call Nie Bing the "Goddess of Scrutiny" in the Police Force. It's a well-deserved nickname!]
[Don't worry. After this verification, Officer Nie Bing will have nothing left to say. If "Aya" were an imposter, their answers would almost certainly diverge under rigorous questioning. Conversely, if the answers match perfectly, "Aya" must be the real deal.]
[Heh heh, letting Little Bingbing stir things up is fine by me. I get free intel on Sister Aya, which only increases my chances of marrying her!]
[Kid, wake up! This intel is shared—everyone's chances improve equally, meaning nothing changes, you know?]
[Seriously, the Bullet Comments are going wild! I'm done pretending—I'm Aya's fiancé! Stop eyeing my fiancée, got it?!]
[Where's the Pissing Brigade? We've got a job!]
Though the bullet comments remained as abstract as ever, virtually no one believed Nie Bing would succeed.
Most viewers had already accepted that the person on screen was the real "Aya," Little Ya's elder sister. How could she possibly fail to match her own mother's answers?
This collective belief, fueled by the Authority of Trickery, naturally transformed into Cifera's power.
Since everyone was convinced Cifera could provide the same answers as Little Ya's mother, she would inevitably know those answers.
This was the true power of the Authority of Trickery—a godlike force beyond the comprehension of anyone else in the world.
This was why Cifera had so brazenly invited Nie Bing to "come home" with her.
No matter how Nie Bing tried to verify her identity, as long as the overwhelming majority believed Cifera was "Aya," the verification results would inevitably point to her being "Aya."
Therefore, Cifera naturally had no objections to Nie Bing's proposed verification method.
She nodded, her usual elegant and composed smile gracing her lips.
"Officer Nie Bing, I accept your challenge once again. I sincerely hope this will finally help you escape the dead end in your heart."
"Thank you, Miss Aya," Nie Bing said.
Looking at "Aya," who was still thinking of her even at this point, Nie Bing couldn't help but feel a twinge of self-loathing.
I... I deserve to die...
After this is over, I must apologize to Miss Aya properly!
And from now on, I must never blindly trust my so-called "sixth sense" again.
If the live stream viewers knew that Nie Bing, the instigator of this whole mess, was already having such conflicted thoughts—essentially conceding defeat before the test even began—they would undoubtedly have commented:
Give it up, Bing! You're not testing "Aya" here; you're testing your own heart!
Soon, "Aya" and Little Ya's mother were seated back-to-back, about 10 meters apart. Before each of them lay the pens and paper Sister Jingjing had brought.
Standing between the two women, Nie Bing calmly explained:
"I'll start by stating the question. If either of you deems it unanswerable, that question will be discarded, and we'll move on to the next. Only when both of you agree the question is suitable will you need to answer it."
"We've completed answering three questions in total. Verification confirms completion. If either of you has any objections, please raise them now. Otherwise, we'll officially begin."
"Officer Nie Bing, I have no objections. I'll proceed as you instructed," Little Ya's mother nodded.
"Officer Nie Bing, I do have an objection."
Just when everyone assumed "Aya" would also agree, she unexpectedly declared:
"I believe my opinion shouldn't be considered when determining whether a question is suitable for answering, as I am a suspect. If my mother deems a question suitable, I must answer it."
-
The Cat's Eye Clan members were inwardly shocked. Cifera was already in a precarious position; why was she making things even harder for herself?
Was this genuine confidence that she could pull off a deception, or was she just resigned to failure, trying to make her defeat appear more dignified?
Truthfully, they couldn't be sure, but they leaned toward the latter.
"Miss Aya, are you absolutely certain you want to proceed this way?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Nie Bing's usually cold face.
Even between a genuine mother and daughter, years of shared experiences inevitably lead to discrepancies in memory—one party might recall details vividly, while the other's recollection could be hazy.
By giving them the opportunity to confirm the questions, Nie Bing aimed to eliminate any such discrepancies that might skew the verification results.
But now, "Aya" was deliberately increasing the difficulty for herself. Her unwavering confidence suggested she genuinely believed she would never forget a single memory shared with her mother.
Indeed, "Aya" was not Cifera...
If the scales in Nie Bing's mind had previously been heavily tilted, they now lay completely on one side.
"I'm certain," "Aya" said without hesitation, nodding firmly in response to Nie Bing's question. "When it comes to questions about my family, I'm 100% confident I can answer correctly."
"...I understand, Miss Aya," Nie Bing replied after a moment of silence, her tone conveying her comprehension. "From now on, the verification process will only require your aunt's approval of the questions before you answer."
"Thank you, Officer Nie Bing," "Aya" said with a gentle smile, expressing her gratitude for Nie Bing's understanding.
