My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1972: Even Jumping into the Yellow River Can’t Wash the Stain Away
"Ah... don’t worry, it’s just a polite thing to say, I don’t actually feel very grateful to you, you can rest assured a hundred times over on that." She said deliberately with malice.
"You..."
"What about me? Didn’t you say there’s no need to thank you?"
"..." This time it was Fengye Wuyin’s turn to glower at her in restraint, his face looking grim, unable to find words to retort.
Then he snorted through his nose, looked her up and down, his pretty eyes shining with sharpness, his gaze complex as he stared at her, arms crossed, putting on a fierce interrogation stance.
"Hey, what’s your relationship with Helian Ling Kong? You better explain it clearly to me!"
Yiyi grew nervous, here it comes, she knew Helian Ling Kong’s performance at the banquet would attract big trouble, and the first trouble was explaining how an ordinary girl from Yalan Country could have a connection with such a person.
If she couldn’t explain it clearly, she might be suspected as a spy sent by Helian Ling Kong.
Now, with the relations between Eagle Country and Aus Empire being so sensitive, Fengye Wuyin, as a soldier, had sharp instincts and was highly capable—would he not suspect her? If he did suspect her, how would he deal with her?
In her mind, Yiyi involuntarily recalled the time she was captured by the Aus Empire’s intelligence department and tortured intensely to extract a confession, her face turning pale and cold sweat forming on her forehead.
That unforgettable pain could never be erased, just thinking about it made her tremble.
She really didn’t want to go through that kind of pain again.
But she was also very clear, it’s not about what she wants or doesn’t want, everything depends on Fengye Wuyin’s attitude, he held her life and death in his hands.
If he finds her suspicious, no matter how much evidence she provides to prove her innocence, it would be futile. If he wanted to throw her to extreme interrogation, she would have no choice but to accept it.
What’s more, her relationship with Helian Ling Kong was a complete mess, impossible to untangle.
Even if she told him everything about her past with Helian Ling Kong, he might not believe it, let alone she absolutely couldn’t say she appeared on the battlefield to save Helian Ling Kong, nor could she let him know she was the one piloting that plane. And even though they’ve broken up, she refused to explain to anyone what happened between her and Helian Ling Kong, those are very important memories to her.
She didn’t want to get entangled in such messy affairs, be stained by them.
So, Yiyi sighed inwardly, she simply couldn’t explain, nor was she able to.
Now, she could only leave it to fate, hope she had enough luck, or hope the man in front of her suddenly showed merciful generosity and didn’t pursue the matter further, though that was impossible, having interacted with Fengye Wuyin quite a bit, he was never the type to have mercy and let others off easily.
Judging from his usual cold and harsh manner, he was definitely a tyrant-like demon, unless she obediently confessed everything, he would find ways to torment her until she spoke.
"What are you daydreaming about, trying hard to organize your thoughts on how to deceive me?" Fengye Wuyin coldly snorted, his bright gaze disdainfully glancing at him, speaking directly and pointedly.
He’s not a fool, having known Yiyi for quite a while, he understood what a cunning personality she had.
"Wow, you actually noticed, how am I supposed to act now? You’re not giving me any face." Yiyi blinked in a troubled manner.
Fengye Wuyin’s eye twitched: "Stop clowning around, changing the subject won’t do you any good. My patience is limited, you better behave and confess honestly."
