My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1901: The Mastermind
"You know the Helian Family’s bottom line. You ought to understand that even if you can cover your tracks well, I will never let it go easily."
With his many years of political experience, he knew these colleagues were old foxes, not naive and hot-blooded youngsters. Each of them was cunning to the extreme, and he really didn’t think they would do something like this.
"Though they are my political enemies and usually we don’t see eye to eye, saying that they would seize the opportunity to retaliate against me doesn’t make sense. After all, they are smart people; even if we don’t get along, they know better than to tear open the facade completely. It would bring them no benefit."
Ling Kong understood his meaning. Indeed, even if those political adversaries disagreed on policy and looked down on his father, having made things difficult for him in the military, it was not surprising. But to take action and harm himself would be a total break. With his father’s power and position, once the bottom line was crossed, dealing with them would likely lead to a miserable end. They wouldn’t dare risk their entire fortune and lives in revenge.
Then who is it that hates him so much? No, he’s been part of the Helian Family for only half a year and hasn’t offended any influential people.
Perhaps targeting him was a way to cut off his father’s right-hand man, making it easier to deal with his father.
But who would have the courage and means to obtain top-secret military information to do this?
Definitely not a simple person; it must be someone of high authority and power.
Ling Kong’s eyes narrowed slightly, his exquisite face showing a shocked expression. He thought of something, and his heart trembled slightly as he squinted his eyes. Ha, there are probably not many who have the ability, audacity, and motive to do such a thing!
Yet in that case, the evidence might not be found.
Who is it? Does his father know in his heart?
With his father’s many years of experience in the political arena, he probably suspects someone, but this figure is not one he dares to speak lightly of. After all, they are so high up, making it hard to determine if it’s truly her, especially with no evidence.
Usually so calm and seemingly full of trust and care for his father, appearing as a qualified and beloved leader, assassinating the most favored minister’s son—such a thing, if spoken of, probably no one would believe it!
"There’s one more thing that bothers me, something I find even more important than the fact that I was framed." Ling Kong’s expression became more serious.
"What thing?"
"Why, how could that person leverage the enemy to get rid of me? Given our country’s stance, she could never have contact with the rebel forces of the Yalan Country. How did she manage to do this? I’m really concerned. Could she have colluded with the Yalan Country rebels? That should be very difficult, given it’s fundamentally inconvenient for her to intervene directly."
The Councilman noted the tone in which he spoke, seemingly having already guessed who the person behind it might be. He was incredibly surprised at how perceptive Ling Kong was; with so few clues, he dared to point directly at that person.
Yet what he thought was not different. In this country, those who dare to oppose him, the Councilman, could be counted on one hand. Over the years, even if outwardly she seemed to trust and favor him, in reality, her heart and actions didn’t align, as was tacitly understood.
If he couldn’t sense the Queen’s disdain for him, it’s in vain that he’s been in this position for so long.
