Chapter 3688: She Doesn't Know Who I Am

~7 min read 1,212 words

Robert's girlfriend, suppressing her extremely excited feelings, tentatively asked Robert: "Your family members came to call you for dinner, and I'm coming along—would that be inappropriate?"

Robert looked at his girlfriend and smiled, saying: "What's inappropriate about it? He suggested it himself, so if you have nothing else to do, just relax and come with me."

The girlfriend feigned hesitation, staying silent for a moment, then said somewhat nervously: "Well... well then... is there anything I should pay attention to? Please tell me in advance so I don't embarrass you."

Seeing his girlfriend's nervous expression, Robert felt a surge of affection and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face, smiling as he said: "There's nothing to worry about. Although he's the second-in-command of the Rothschild family, you just need to treat him as an ordinary elder today."

The girlfriend lightly nodded and said: "Is there enough time? I want to go back and change clothes—I really should put on something more formal."

Robert nodded and smiled: "There's plenty of time; I'll go with you to the dormitory."

The girlfriend nodded slightly, and accompanied by Robert, arrived at the female dormitory building where she lived.

The female dormitory environment at Stanford is excellent; the building she lives in is a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout, with two pairs of roommates sharing a common living room.

Although male students are allowed to enter and exit the female dormitory during the day, Robert still waited downstairs like a true gentleman, letting his girlfriend go up alone.

The girlfriend quickly walked to her dorm on the third floor, opened the door, and saw three girls sitting on the sofa, each fiddling with her phone. Upon seeing her enter, two of the women symbolically nodded at her, while only one girl smiled and said: "Rachel, you're back."

Rachel Getty is the name of this scholar.

Although she has half Chinese heritage, her father is a member of the Getty family, so her outward identity is as the daughter of the Getty family. The Getty family in America is also considered a long-established old nobility, with considerable fame.

After Rachel Getty closed her bedroom door, the three people on the sofa immediately stood up in unison—one took her bag, while the other two, from behind left and right, massaged and relaxed her muscles.

Rachel Getty waved her hand to stop them and said: "You wait here for a moment; I have something to report to my family."

The three all nodded respectfully and stood motionless in place.

These three people are all scholars, and also all of mixed heritage.

But unlike Rachel Getty, they do not have her prominent status. Although they were carefully cultivated from childhood, lacking a noble identity, their duty here has become to fully cooperate with and cover for Rachel Getty's identity.

Outside this dormitory, they are just ordinary roommates to Rachel Getty; inside this dormitory, everything revolves around Rachel Getty as the core.

At this moment, Rachel Getty walked to her bedroom and immediately called her mother.

The call connected, and the other party spoke in Chinese: "Xiao Qiu, it's not yet time for the regular report—do you have something urgent?"

Rachel Getty could barely contain her excitement as she said: "Mom, Robert's great-granduncle has arrived—namely, the elder brother of Robert's grandfather, the legitimate heir of the Rothschild family, Steve Rothschild!"

The other party curiously asked: "Steve Rothschild? Did he go to California?"

"Yes!" Rachel Getty exclaimed excitedly: "He not only came to California, but to the Bay Area, and even wants to treat Robert to dinner—more unexpectedly, he asked whether Robert has a girlfriend. Robert admitted my identity over the phone, and Steve even asked Robert to bring me along to the banquet!"

The woman on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment, then said with overwhelming joy: "Really?! This is fantastic! Not only did Robert officially announce your identity in front of important family members, but you also have a chance to meet the Rothschild family's second-in-command. The greatest hope the Yingzhu lineage has for us is that you marry into the Rothschild family—now, looking at it, the opportunity keeps growing!"

Rachel Getty was also extremely excited. She knew Wu Feiyan's infiltration plan had never ceased its steps; Western high society is the final piece of her infiltration strategy, but this piece has long remained unassembled. Her distance from helping Wu Feiyan complete this puzzle has been steadily shrinking.

Her mother reminded Rachel Getty over the phone: "Xiao Qiu, you must give it your all—make Steve Rothschild remember you deeply. If you leave him with a good impression, it will certainly help your future greatly."

Rachel Getty firmly said: "Mom, don't worry—I will give it my all!"

……

At the same time, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er had nearly toured the entire Stanford campus.

Lin Wan'er knew Ye Chen was to meet Robert that evening, as well as his scholar girlfriend, so she asked concernedly: "Young Master, what are your plans for tonight?"

Ye Chen coldly laughed: "Being able to climb up to the Rothschilds shows this lineage of scholars has indeed worked hard—probably already become a pawn in Wu Feiyan's infiltration of Western upper society. No matter what, I want to first cut off her entry point into the Rothschild family, then see if I can find any breakthrough from her."

Lin Wan'er curiously asked: "That Robert seems to really like that female scholar—under these circumstances, trying to cut off her entry into the Rothschild family—isn't that going to be difficult?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Actually, this is quite easy. No need to start with that female scholar—just need to tweak Robert Rothschild a bit. Liking someone comes from the heart; disliking someone also comes from the heart. A little psychological suggestion is enough. Though there's no need to act so early—today, let's just get to know them first. If we can meet that female scholar, all the better. I want to use her as a breakthrough point to uncover the layout of the Left Army Governor-General's Office in America and the scholars' arrangements."

Lin Wan'er nodded and asked: "Then, Young Master, what identity do you plan to use when meeting them tonight?"

Ye Chen said: "Identity doesn't matter, as long as I can fool Robert. As for his girlfriend, I plan to be honest with her—since she's a scholar, all her identity background must be real. Once her scholar identity is exposed, her entire family will also be exposed. Let's talk openly with her, let her make her own choice."

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Young Master, are you planning to turn her?"

Ye Chen shook his head, calmly saying: "Not to turn her, but to provoke her into opposition. If she refuses to cooperate with me, I only need to expose her identity—I don't even need to act myself; Wu Feiyan will kill her entire family to ensure the scholars' and the Anti-Qing Association's secrets aren't leaked. Lin Miss, you should have read *The Three-Body Problem*. Under the dark forest law, once I hold her identity information, I only need to flip the switch to expose her—someone will naturally come to destroy her. And her most passive state is: she doesn't know who I am."
