My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1902: Revenge

If he did not perceive the Queen’s animosity towards him, then it is in vain that he has occupied this position for so long.

He just did not expect that she would be unable to restrain herself, acting so shockingly, realizing that Ling Kong is a rare genius who might become her strongest ally, threatening her status, which startled her into taking action so hastily.

This is unlike her usual style of endurance.

Her striking against him is inevitable; he clearly understands various schemes targeting him will emerge. However, he still did not expect her first move to be to eliminate Ling Kong.

She probably thinks that Ling Kong, being just a child and a foster son, is easiest to cut away, and even if she kills him, he wouldn’t retaliate much. She certainly believes he, known for deep cunning and cold ruthlessness, would not avenge a foster son of merely six months.

However...

The Councilman’s brow furrowed, his clenched fists turned pale.

This time, he was truly angry. Even as a foster son, Ling Kong is part of the Helian Family, his son, Halian Jing. How dare she harm his family; this is intolerable.

Halian Jing’s sharp eyes blazed with an unprecedented fiery rage, his heart filled with intense wrath.

One son is already enough; Ling Yun sacrificed himself due to his political reasons.

He absolutely cannot allow Ling Kong to also sacrifice because of political turmoil.

"The person definitely cannot be in contact with the rebel army. This means she has a secret intermediary, connecting her, assisting her in covert missions. But who exactly is this intermediary? They certainly have some skills, being able to contact the rebels of Yalan Country and persuade them to help eliminate you. This identity is likely not simple. It appears she has acquired a remarkable military strategist. I need to thoroughly investigate whom she has been frequently interacting with recently."

"Yes, this person is very crucial. Later, he might also become a troublesome obstacle in your struggle against her, father. We must find this person early and understand his motives."

"You don’t need to worry about these matters. Since you are injured, take care of your body. I will return and handle these issues. After you’ve rested for a few days, go back with your mother!"

"No, I don’t intend to return so easily. It’s rare to encounter a war opportunity; I cannot return empty-handed." Ji Lingkong refused confidently, his deep and clear eyes revealing unabashed dominance and strength, "Now is a great opportunity. Returning as a hero who narrowly escaped death inherently has a legendary aura. If I can make significant wartime contributions, my reputation will immediately be established, allowing for rapid promotion in military rank. In turbulent times, heroes emerge. To quickly rise to prominence politically, I must not miss this optimal chance to make a name."

The Councilman certainly understood this indeed is a golden opportunity; showcasing Ling Kong’s brilliance to the world, allowing him to successfully enter the military’s higher ranks would be immensely beneficial.

Yet, this child is injured, and having narrowly survived, even for a hardened politician like him, he feels heartache for this child. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Opportunities will still come, but if your injuries result in long-term issues, your mother will resent me."

Ji Lingkong’s gaze softened. Although no words of direct concern came from his foster father, he understood that his foster father worried about him.
