My Scheming Little Devil

Was it the Councilman’s son who called? Could it be that he already knows about Jun Yiyi being abducted?

Hei Ze Lang hesitated; he had no dealings with this Councilman’s son. However, anyone adopted by the great Councilman is certainly not a simple character. Although this young master rarely appears in political affairs, it’s been rumored in private that he is not an easy person to approach—extremely cold and impersonal, possessing a portion of his adoptive father’s aura.

Taking Jun Yiyi from under his protection would have wounded his pride. A man, especially someone like this young master, cherishes his pride and may want to vent his anger on me.

Although he was an official in the intelligence interrogation department, he was a low-level official, and he dared not ignore the call for fear of offending the son of such a prominent figure.

He hurriedly answered the call, and the screen displayed a face as cold as eternal ice, breathtakingly handsome.

Those sharp, unbelievably beautiful phoenix eyes were profound and inscrutable, looking down on him through the screen, flickering with a dangerous and ruthless gleam, like a flash of lightning in hellish darkness, making even someone as ruthless as Hei Ze Lang shudder with heart-thumping anxiety.

"Young Master Ling Kong, may I ask..."

A piercing voice, uncompromising and cold, cut through his words, each syllable like a blade of ice stabbing his ears.

"Release her!"

Hei Ze Lang forced a smile, making a desperate struggle: "Young Master Ling Kong, I have no choice, I am following orders from above, carrying out my duties, I..."

Ji Lingkong’s eyes blazed with anger like a storm, roaring: "I don’t want to hear your excuses. Since you had the audacity to forcibly take someone from under my protection and interrogate her on your own accord, you better be prepared for the consequences of facing my wrath! If, upon my return, she is not sent back, I will ensure you understand there are a hundred ways to die!"

Then, with a swoosh, not giving Hei Ze Lang a chance to argue, the person on the screen vanished.

Hei Ze Lang’s face turned extremely grim, both embarrassed and ashamed. He harbored anger, but in front of someone so much higher in status and power, he didn’t even dare to let out a hum.

He could only turn around in anger, glaring fiercely at the struggling Jun Yiyi in the glass interrogation room, filled with hatred.

Should he release the girl? But his cousin Mrs. Yun entrusted the girl to him, insisting he forced her to confess and then eliminate her.

If he disappoints her, his prospects might suffer as well.

He was merely a minor prison official in a regular locale, but with Mrs. Yun’s influence, he rose to this position. If he offended his benefactor, he wouldn’t expect any favors in the future, where would he reconcile that? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But thinking of that young man’s cold, ruthless face earlier, full of a superior ruler’s savagery, his gaze sharper than a blade, he couldn’t help but shudder. As a villain himself, he naturally knew that some people are far more malevolent. That Councilman’s son, so young, yet so powerful, cruel and ruthless, was clearly not a benevolent type.

Offending such a person would certainly bring endless troubles!

"Officer, should we release the girl?" asked his subordinate Mountain Turtle cautiously.

He glared at the subordinate: "What do you think? The Councilman’s son personally came to demand her release, do I dare not release her?"

"But how do we explain this to our superiors in the Security Department? And she’s already been treated like this. If the Councilman’s son has any affection for the girl, wouldn’t he be furious!" Mountain Turtle glanced at the battered Jun Yiyi and then leaned in to whisper secretively to Hei Ze Lang.
