My Scheming Little Devil

In the region surrounding Lily City for hundreds of kilometers, one-third has already fallen. Meanwhile, the government’s army is retreating step by step, being defeated thoroughly, making people frustrated.

Jun Yiyi watched anxiously, fortunately the seaside town hadn’t fallen yet, which was the only thing that gave her comfort.

And Lily City, being the capital, has the strongest military presence, with a considerable amount of national military forces stationed there. It is still very safe, although the air raid alarms keep going off, fighter jets patrol overhead everywhere, the atmosphere is tense, but at least safety can be guaranteed.

At night, Ji Lingkong called. His low and steady voice was slightly stern, warning her not to leave the embassy under any circumstances. The next morning, he would immediately have the embassy send a special plane to take her back to the Aus Empire.

"I can’t go back." Jun Yiyi refused.

"What did you say?" Ji Lingkong frowned deeply, a hint of displeasure rose in his phoenix eyes as he looked at her stubborn face through the screen, "Don’t be absurd, Yalan Country is currently in chaos, anything could happen. You need to return quickly, I’ve arranged everything for you, tomorrow you’ll obediently board the plane."

His tone was firm, without a hint of joke.

Jun Yiyi was annoyed, even though she understood he was concerned for her safety, his authoritarian attitude still displeased her.

Their relationship wasn’t very close, they hadn’t known each other for long, what right did he have to speak to her in a husband’s tone, dictating what she should do?

She was not such an obedient child, don’t expect her to obediently comply, he’s not her father.

"No, I’m staying. The couple who saved my life are now missing, I need to ensure their safety before I go back." She was a person of principle, how could she prioritize her own comfort, leaving behind the uncertain fate of the Dule couple, and run off to the safety of the Aus Empire.

Upon hearing her reason, Ji Lingkong’s expression slightly softened.

"I’ll send people to search for them. If they’re found, they’ll be sent to the Aus Empire. You don’t need to worry about these things."

Jun Yiyi insisted, "Then I’ll wait until they’ve been found to go back."

"You...don’t be stubborn. Up to now, the Yalan government hasn’t shown any sign of seeking help from foreign militaries. Given their combat strength, they are no match for the rebels. If they continue to refrain from seeking help, it’s highly likely that within days, the whole Yalan Country will fall, and Lily City will be in danger," Ji Lingkong’s voice was already very stern.

"No way."

Jun Yiyi drew in a breath of cold air, stunned, a country falling in a matter of days, was he joking?

"How could it happen so quickly? The military here, even if inept, is still a national army. A dying camel is still bigger than a horse, how could they be defeated so swiftly by the rebels? Isn’t a civil war supposed to last long, sometimes years, or even decades?"

Ji Lingkong laughed coldly, "Ha, that’s when both sides have comparable strength, allowing for a prolonged stalemate. But the situation now is completely different. In the past ten years, Yalan Country has been sanctioned. The military and funds have been drastically reduced, and combat capability has weakened significantly, further prohibited from developing various new weapons due to the secret weapon development incident involving six countries. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Meanwhile, the rebels have substantial strength and tactics, well-prepared, having already swiftly occupied one-sixth of the territory. From the battle situation, they have rendered little opposition from the government’s forces. Clearly, the rebels’ intentions are also apparent now.
