My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1907: Legendary
"I want to tell you first, to give you the upper hand, so you can get the credit this time." Lie Fengzi’s expression was proud, her eyes bright with intensity. She wanted him to know that she was different.
She could give him what other women couldn’t; she could be the most powerful assistant in his career.
"Thank you very much, Miss Duke."
"There’s no need to thank me." Lie Fengzi’s face showed a hint of shyness, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, glanced at him sideways. His achievements and fame were greatly beneficial to her as well. Once they were married, wouldn’t all his glory become hers too?
"I got this information from my father. He hasn’t told the other higher-ups yet, and I only intend to tell you this. Recently, hasn’t there been an incident of a battle aircraft crash in the southern part of Yalan Country? It’s very mysterious. It’s said that the aircraft made a stunning debut in the last battle between the Yalan army and the rebels, using powerful technology to turn the tide of the battle, yet it mysteriously disappeared in the end."
Ji Lingkong squinted his eyes. Was it that fleeting aircraft that became legendary?
He was genuinely interested, as it would benefit his father.
"Go on, what happened with that aircraft’s appearance? What was its purpose?"
"Well... we’re not very clear on the purpose of its appearance. It neither participated in combat nor revealed its identity. Anyway, it appeared quite suddenly; after being discovered, several countries quickly dispatched aircraft to intercept, hoping to seize the aircraft’s data and pilot first. But in the end, it led to the aircraft crashing into a mountain."
Ji Lingkong’s heart shook, as if something had hit him hard. An indescribable feeling, a strange irritation piled up inside him.
"How could it crash? Given its powerful technology last time, how could it make such a low-level technical error like crashing into a mountain? Was the pilot an idiot?"
"Well, except for those involved, nobody knows what happened? The legend is probably just a legend; many things are overrated. The pilot’s skills weren’t that great; otherwise, such a thing wouldn’t happen. Such poor skills, no pity if they die."
Lie Fengzi looked nonchalantly, a slight contempt in her eyes. She didn’t care whether the pilot on that aircraft lived or died. She was just surprised at how much Ling Kong seemed to care.
"That area is within the Eagle****’s sphere of influence. They sent people to investigate the crashed aircraft to see if they could recover some combat technology data. But the aircraft was too badly damaged, with no research value whatsoever."
"And have they found the pilot’s whereabouts?" Ji Lingkong couldn’t help but press further.
Lie Fengzi looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was so concerned about the pilot. Probably, he thought there might be some research value on the pilot. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"The crash was so devastating, there should be no remains left at all. Anyway, no body was found, probably vaporized in the intense flames and air currents during the explosion."
"..." Ji Lingkong’s fingers cramped, and his heart tightened.
He didn’t understand this sudden feeling either; it felt as if something out there was strongly connected to him.
It drove him to concern himself with this matter without realizing it.
Lie Fengzi noticed his initial interest, but now, without having mentioned the most critical part, he already seemed distracted, slightly annoyed. Didn’t this man realize the key point was yet to come?
