My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 946: No Deal at All
"No," Third Young Master Jun’s eyes were deep with thought, as if recalling something; his uniquely handsome face uncommonly chilling, "Perhaps the target... is me."
Ling Kong shivered.
Yet Ye Lu felt that if the attack was aimed at her, the first person she would think of was that woman Yiren.
But upon further consideration, Yiren hadn’t seen her, and even if they had met, there was no proof that it was this woman who was responsible.
She didn’t dare to tell Third Young Master Jun about the museum incident; doing so would unravel the secret of the black box, expose her own origins, but she always had an intuition that it was related to the museum.
"Hmph, no matter how intricate the setup, there will always be traces. I will continue to investigate. I refuse to believe that with my years of experience mingling in both the underworld and lawful society, I can’t pull out the mastermind behind the curtain." Ling Kong, who was always set on retaliation, would never let go of someone who dared to point a gun at him.
Third Young Master Jun remained silent, his expression reflective.
After a moment, he looked at Ling Kong.
"You saved my wife and children. What reward do you want?" he asked bluntly.
Ling Kong was taken aback for a moment, his cunning eyes rolling, "Really, I can ask for anything I want?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lu couldn’t help but feel nervous. Ling Kong was making a request; it definitely involved Yiyi. She was dizzy with worry; Third Young Master Jun wouldn’t really trade Yiyi, would he?
Although she was quite pleased with Ling Kong, a strong, cute, and handsome young man — who wouldn’t like him? She had casually called him a prospective son-in-law, but after all, this wasn’t ancient times; child betrothals were mere jokes, not to be taken seriously.
After all, so much time could pass; when these children grew up, they might each find someone they truly loved. That would be awkward.
As parents, they couldn’t be rash with such matters, nor could they pressure their children.
If Third Young Master Jun dared to trade his daughter, hmph, she wouldn’t let him off lightly.
"Everything is negotiable. You can have money, power, even revenge... But if what you want is Yiyi, that is the only thing I refuse to agree to. Yiyi is my daughter, and she will not be part of any transaction!" Third Young Master Jun spoke with rare severity, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
Ye Lu was startled, her heart stirred by the unexpected ferocity of his love for Yiyi, brooking no negotiation. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
That was the stance of a father protecting his daughter, allowing no outsider to touch her.
He indeed cherished Yiyi.
"Hmph..." Ling Kong rolled his eyes contemptuously, lifting his proud little face, "Who said I was asking for her? I, Ling Kong, pursue anyone I desire with my own ability, winning them over willingly, without resorting to such threatening methods."
He snorted disdainfully again.
"Besides, saving people is something I do willingly. Who said anything about needing a reward?"
A gleam of admiration shone in the eyes of Third Young Master Jun. He greatly appreciated his honesty and forthrightness, "I suddenly look forward to the day you become my son-in-law. If Yiyi were to marry you, it would not be a loss."
After Ling Kong left, Third Young Master Jun sat on the couch, recalling the previous night’s attack. The jade-like coolness of his handsome face now bore the traces of a brewing storm, as a sudden chill emanated from him, his lowered eyes covered in frost.
"Godfather..."
He remembered the complex, probing look the godfather had cast over towards Ye Lu’s direction last night. Ye Lu hadn’t offended anyone in Europe; if she was the target, it was most likely the godfather, given the sophistication of the methods used, and Ye Lu certainly hadn’t crossed any major organizations.
Was the godfather testing his feelings for Ye Lu?
If so, having seen him receive the message last night, his complexion drastically changing with tension as he swiftly left, the godfather should have noticed, right!
