My Scheming Little Devil

But seeing this young master’s face full of concern and tension, it seems this girl has really soared to new heights, catching the eye of the prince.

Such unbelievably good luck!

After treating Yiyi, Ling Kong cast a faint glance at the doctor: "Tonight’s events are not to be spoken of, understood?"

The doctor quickly nodded, not understanding his intentions, yet not daring to defy him.

After the doctor left, Ling Kong’s cold gaze gradually softened. He reached out to gently stroke the soft locks of her hair by her temples. Seeing her calm face and how peacefully she slept, his heart was filled with tranquility and even a faint sense of happiness.

It’s truly strange. He and this girl neither fell in love at first sight nor did they have the chance to deeply understand each other.

Yet, he harbors a special feeling towards her. Beneath the facade of deliberate indifference, he finds himself persistently feeling an undercurrent of unwillingness, reluctance, and even affection.

He has never been a soft-hearted person, nor is he one to be tender.

Only with her, it’s different.

However, he seems unwilling to reject this strange emotion inside. From the moment he rushed in and saw her tragic state, a sudden and overwhelming heartache struck his soul. He realized then that he might find it difficult to let this girl go!

No matter the reason, since he couldn’t figure it out, he didn’t bother. He simply followed the call of his heart.

He sat quietly by the bedside, keeping her company as she slumbered peacefully. As time flowed by, he felt that such silent tenderness made him relax.

Until the video call rang, it was the Director of Intelligence from Yalan Country calling.

Ling Kong’s eyes narrowed. He stood up, walked out to the balcony outside the room, and then opened the video. The Director said that the technicians had already compiled the segments he requested and were now sending it for him to view.

Ling Kong received it, opened the compiled footage, and watched it with focused attention.

Although Yalan Country had declined now, it was a leading nation in electronic information technology a decade ago. Their cutting-edge information technology was comparable to that of any major power, so the synthesized images were virtually undetectable as fake.

The video showed the assassin’s swift actions in succession, from the attack to the escape, all displayed in Ling Kong’s sharp gaze.

He finally discerned a clue, confirming an astounding piece of information.

It seemed that the virus infecting mother wasn’t brought by the assassin from the glass because, from the simulation images, it was clear the assassin was entirely focused on the surrounding situation, planning an escape.

If the glass shards contained the virus, then Yiyi, who was also injured by them, would inevitably be infected.

Unless the assassin had thoroughly cleaned the shards midway, but such a virus is not easy to eliminate, and the assassin was never seen stopping to do anything.

On another note, when Jun Yiyi was tortured by the Black Wolf, she persistently denied being a spy. He believed that under such severe torture, no one could lie.

Since Jun Yiyi was merely used to get close to mother, the assassin couldn’t show mercy, and if the shards truly carried the virus, the assassin would have used it to kill and silence her.

Then it’s strange. If the virus didn’t come from the shards, where did mother catch it?

Ling Kong was shaken to realize deeply that the matter was not simple, and someone else was plotting against his mother!

Mother had surgery and recuperated in the hospital since that stabbing night. It was only later that she fell ill, discovering she was infected with a virus. It seemed clear she must have contacted someone or something during the time from when she returned to the outbreak!
