My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1080 Greatly Shocked

No one else would know. So, I wonder if there might have been some eavesdropping device hidden inside this ornament. Because knowing that Ling Xiu cared deeply for Qingchi, he would carry it with him at all times, making it the perfect window for leaking information.

If my speculation is correct, then Third Young Master Jun knowing my grandfather’s schedule means, undoubtedly, that he is the most likely murderer! Of course, this is only my conjecture since the actual ornament has disappeared, and I can’t prove that there indeed was an eavesdropping device inside it. Therefore, I’ve come to you today to seek your advice on how much of my conjecture might be correct?

Ye Lu sighed inwardly, almost completely right, just missing the final, unexpected step that no one would have anticipated or believed.

The person who assassinated Old Ling was Third Young Master Jun, but the one who actually killed him was not.

However, who would believe such an absurd and utterly unproven conclusion?

"Ling Yan, I can only tell you that your grandfather was not killed by Third Young Master Jun." She looked up at him earnestly and resolutely. Of course, he probably wouldn’t believe her, as all evidence pointed to Third Young Master Jun.

Gu Yan, how ruthless you are, to stop at nothing in your quest for revenge.

But one day, I will find your irrefutable evidence.

Ling Yan left, and although he didn’t believe Ye Lu’s words, he also had no evidence and could only let it go.

Ye Lu didn’t reveal any information to him. She wasn’t foolish; such matters absolutely could not be acknowledged, or they would become opportunities for Ling Yan to use against Third Young Master Jun. As long as Ling Yan found no evidence, there was nothing he could do for now because he was a rational man; without concrete proof, he would not wrongfully accuse anyone.

She smiled bitterly, ultimately choosing Third Young Master Jun and betraying their friendship.

Qingchi was right, people always choose the one they love, regardless of whether it’s right or wrong.

She got up to tidy up and return home when she suddenly saw today’s newspaper on the table. Her eyes caught the vaguely familiar face in the corner of her eye.

Her eyelids twitched, her eyes narrowed, and she quickly picked up the paper to read the headline that stood out boldly: "The Jun Family’s Third Young Master and the Heiress Hua spotted together abroad, a stormy night rendezvous in a holiday villa."

She was greatly shocked.

Below was a large photo. Although blurry, one could still clearly see Yiren bending down, with Third Young Master Jun sitting on a chair, the two of them leaning very close to each other, appearing to be in an intimate pose.

Ye Lu’s face turned pale, her hands trembling as she clutched the newspaper, not wanting to read any more of the lurid, embellished content in the report.

She took a choked breath, her heart constricted with intense pain. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Yiren’s arrogant declaration was still clear in her mind, and now this photo had come out the very next day. How ironic.

It made one wonder whether to be embarrassed or to laugh.

Wasn’t he supposed to have no feelings for Yiren, and wasn’t he supposed to be abroad on business? As a married man fully aware of this woman’s ill intentions, why meet with her late into the night?

Ye Lu closed her eyes and quickly tore the newspaper to shreds.

...

Yiren was on the hotel’s terrace, enjoying the comfortable sea breeze. Last night’s storm had passed, and today the sky was clear and Wanli, quite refreshing.

Picking up her phone, she checked the domestic news and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a sly smile.

When she entered Third Young Master Jun’s villa with her father last night, she had brought a micro camera for sneak photography. The scene captured was of her bending down to serve tea to Third Young Master Jun. The shot was skilfully taken, suggestive due to the angle, and because they were back to back, it looked like they were kissing.

She had deliberately sent it back to the media in her country to create a buzz, waiting for Third Young Master Jun to agree to her terms. She would then publicly disclose their relationship, forcing Ye Lu into a corner with no escape.
