My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1010: You Can Do It
She hoped there was more to the story, that the outcome would be different.
"I want to know how Old Ling died, to prevent you from harming Ling Yan and his brother again," she said stiffly.
Third Young Master Jun mocked himself, "You really do care about those brothers. Telling you wouldn’t hurt. Remember when Ling Xiu came to see you? When he left, I gave him a pendant, claiming it was left by Qingchi. I secretly installed a surveillance device inside because I knew Ling Xiu would cherish it and keep it on him at all times. That way, there would be no secrets in the Ling’s Family that could hide from me!"
Ye Lu was shocked and furious, slapping him hard across the face.
"You are despicable! How can you be so cruel, taking advantage of their feelings to do such filthy things? Don’t you have any conscience at all?"
She knew he had killed many people, but even murderers should have a moral baseline, not stoop to such vile means.
She truly realized she did not understand anything about him at all.
"Does it hurt?" Third Young Master Jun, with an indifferent expression, pulled over her hand and blew on it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Ye Lu got even angrier and yanked her hand back.
She turned and went upstairs.
"Third Young Master, why bother telling her and making her angrier?" Feiyu felt aggrieved when he saw Third Young Master Jun slapped. Such a proud and unrestrained man had never been slapped by a woman before.
Third Young Master Jun touched his face, his eyes calm yet deep, "I’m gambling."
Gambling how much he weighed in her heart.
A last-ditch effort.
"Third Young Master, the Godfather’s called. Probably about Old Ling’s matter," Feiyu said gravely.
Third Young Master Jun’s eyes turned cold and sharply intimidating, but he forcefully suppressed it; he couldn’t tear his face away just yet.
Back in the study, he calmly took the satellite phone.
The Godfather’s crisp voice came through, "king, your mission has failed!"
"Yes," Third Young Master Jun did not deny, even though Old Ling’s death, Gu Yan’s success, all built upon his own preparations, failing to complete the last step meant eternal failure.
"Then you should be very clear about the consequences of failing a mission," the Godfather’s voice was sternly demanding.
Third Young Master Jun’s handsome face turned pale, but his deep eyes showed an untamed spirit, word by word he said,
"Godfather, I will never kill Ye Lu, nor will I let anyone lay a hand on her, including you. Anyone who tries to harm her, even if it’s a country’s president, I won’t hesitate to sacrifice everything to take my revenge and destroy them." His arrogant and ruthless tone left no room to disguise his murderous intent and resolve, an anger ignited by a crossed line.
It showed his determination and madness to do anything for Ye Lu.
Even the Godfather was taken aback.
Such determined protection, at all costs.
It seemed even Jun Huang knew how discontent he was with Ye Lu.
"Alright, I won’t use Ye Lu to punish you. However, you need to make amends for your failure; you must do another thing to correct your mistake."
"What should I do to make amends?" Third Young Master Jun asked.
"I want you to marry Yiren, making the Ivan family, the Hua family, and us, new, form a solid alliance. This will bring tremendous benefits to our organization," the Godfather said, throwing out a bombshell without hesitation.
Third Young Master Jun felt a jolt, his face flushing with fury. He struggled to contain himself, and after a long while, he spoke coldly.
"I can’t!"
The Godfather said coldly, "Is it that you can’t or you won’t? You can. If you can’t, then Ye Lu will die!"
...
Ye Lu returned to her room, picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Ling Yan’s number.
It took a long time for Ling Yan to answer. He apologized, saying that with the confusion that night, he hadn’t been able to look out for her safety.
