The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus-Chapter 399: Qiao Ying opened a killing spree, Lin Cheng blocked Qiao Ying’s gun
Chapter 399
The king invited Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue to sit down.
After the atmosphere eased a little, he said, "You came today and caused such a big commotion. What exactly do you want to do?"
Qiao Ying: "The most urgent thing is to bring Karina in front of me and make her apologize to me in public.
After she apologizes, it will be easier to talk about other things."
Letting Karina keep her life was already giving Lin Cheng face. These people still dared to court death and try to settle accounts with her. Then let's see if they have what it takes.
Qiao Ying wanted to trample on the royal family's dignity and challenge their authority. She wanted to let them know who they shouldn't mess with.
She also wanted them to experience what it felt like to be coerced, whether it was to avenge Lin Cheng or not. She just couldn't stand their attitude.
Karina's brothers were furious and about to flare up, but the king stopped them. Suppressing his own anger, the king said in a deep voice, "Karina is still in the hospital. She barely survived two days ago."
His threatening gaze told Qiao Ying not to overstep her bounds recklessly.
Qiao Ying: "I don't like to repeat myself."
The king stared sharply at Qiao Ying. After a moment, he said, "Duke Lin, I have something to say to Miss Qiao. The weather is nice today. Why don't you take Mr. Qin to tour the new garden in the East Palace?"
Lin Cheng: "The weather is cold. I'm a delicate cat who can only stay indoors. Let's tour the garden another day."
The king looked at Lin Cheng and said through gritted teeth, "You should all go. I want to talk to her alone. Is that okay?"
With things coming to this point, Lin Cheng had no choice but to ask Qiao Ying for her opinion.
After receiving Qiao Ying's glance, Lin Cheng stood up, "Then everyone, please come with me to the front hall." He also said to Qiao Ying, "I'll be right outside. Call me if anything comes up."
Then he led the group of people out of the conference room.
After arriving at the front hall, they gradually learned that after Qiao Ying had spread the story of Karina's maid being skinned like a cat and having dirty water poured on her far and wide, they unanimously condemned Lin Cheng for not considering the royal family's reputation at all.
Lin Cheng called Qin Hanyue over to the floor-to-ceiling window to avoid the crowd. He was also afraid that those unbridled people would say bad things about Qiao Ying in front of Qin Hanyue, thus angering him.
At this moment, Lin Cheng didn't know whether asking Qiao Ying for help this time was good or bad, but he could be sure that with Qiao Ying's participation, everything would be settled quickly. Otherwise, enduring the pressure alone, he didn't know how many years it would take to end.
As long as no one died, it should be good, right?
Qin Hanyue's voice rang out, "The Duke is regretting this now?"
Lin Cheng came to his senses and smiled slightly without answering him. Instead, he joked, "Mr. Qin turned out to be the biggest beneficiary of this collaboration."
Lin Cheng: "Surprised?"
If he hadn't guessed wrong, before this, the relationship between Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying hadn't reached the final step. Thanks to Karina's drug, the two of them finally made a breakthrough.
Qin Hanyue shouldn't harbor so much resentment towards him now, right?
But Qin Hanyue said, "No, not at all."
Lin Cheng was puzzled: "???"
Lin Cheng seemed to realize something and chuckled, "I remember now. Mr. Qin is more traditional when it comes to relationships."
Qin Hanyue: "We should have had a more beautiful first night."
The two had a substantial relationship, which was what Qin Hanyue had dreamed of, but he didn't want to thank the damn drug.
No one would want their first time with their beloved to happen under the control of medication, although the physical sensations were very clear. The memory was a little blurred and not very vivid.
The process also lacked a lot of what he wanted.
All he knew about their first time was that he was rough and uncontrolled. Anyway, it was completely different from what he had expected.
Qin Hanyue did feel regret.
Of course, he didn't dare to tell Qiao Ying about this regret.
From Qiao Ying's point of view, he was looking a gift horse in the mouth.
That was asking for death.
Qin Hanyue retorted, "Yes, the Duke only has cats and dogs for company all day, so naturally he can't understand these emotional matters."
Lin Cheng: "..."
Only two people were left in the huge conference room.
The king dropped all pretense. His eyes were icy cold. Clearly he didn't intend to negotiate amicably with Qiao Ying.
"For Lin Cheng's sake, I'll give you one chance. Heal Karina's face, persuade Lin Cheng to marry Karina, then you can go back to where you should be. I can forget you ever came to C Country, as long as Lin Cheng obediently inherits my position. I can let go of Karina's injuries."
In everyone's eyes, the only reason Lin Cheng was unwilling to marry Karina, even refusing the throne, was because of this Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying had become a femme fatale in their eyes.
Now the king regretted that he didn't get rid of Qiao Ying at the beginning. Instead, he thought about pressuring Lin Cheng and playing the emotional card, which was completely useless. It even led to Karina being so badly hurt.
"If you don't do as I say, don't think about leaving here safely. Even your parents and loved ones won't be spared."
"Don't count on Lin Cheng to save you. No one who comes today can help you!" The king looked vicious.
Qiao Ying was still as indifferent as ever, "You and your stupid daughter both like courting death."
The king slammed the table hard and flew into a rage. He stood up and angrily pointed at Qiao Ying, "You simply don't know your place!"
"In all my years, you're the first person to dare threaten me, in my country, on my turf, in front of my subjects. You really have admirable courage! Who do you think you are? Wanting my country's princess to apologize to you, you really think your insignificant abilities can intimidate me?"
"You are incurably stupid. In my eyes, you are just a jumping clown. I was negotiating with armies from other countries when your mother was still in your grandmother's belly. You dare threaten me and threaten my whole country? Do you have the ability to turn the world upside down? Daydreamer! I don't know what madness got into Lin Cheng to find a woman as stupid as you. I see he has also gone crazy to watch you make a fool of yourself with us. Let me tell you, not only do you not have the ability, even if you did, you won't have the chance to carry it out!"
The king lashed out angrily at Qiao Ying, jabbing his finger at her nose and cursing her viciously in one breath. It showed how much rage he had pent up all this time.
Without waiting for Qiao Ying's reaction, the king yelled outside, "Come in!"
A squad of guards wielding firearms suddenly rushed in.
The king pointed at Qiao Ying sitting there and ordered, "Seize her!"
He said to Qiao Ying, "I think your initial proposal was good. Once you're dead, those threats you spoke of will naturally cease to exist."
"But rest assured, I won't kill you now. I've decided to use you to control Lin Cheng. He has always been disobedient, so it's time to teach him a lesson with this method."
Facing the king's angry tirade, Qiao Ying didn't react at all. She just watched coldly as he raved himself to death.
Qiao Ying was in a bad mood, with a sore waist and tired legs from riding in the car all the way here from Lin Cheng's ducal residence. On the way here, she didn't even give Qin Hanyue a nice look.
Her hand rested on the glass on the table, slowly turning the cup. Dangerous aura emanated from her cold eyes.
The old king didn't know he was recklessly crashing into Qiao Ying's muzzle, while shouting in a group of cannon fodder.
When Qiao Ying's body felt uncomfortable, once she resorted to violence, she often became unrestrained, easily slipping into a killing frenzy.
The glass slammed onto the ground, followed immediately by the sound of gunshots.
Hearing the commotion, people in the front hall hurried to the conference room following the chaotic gunshots. Other guards in the palace also rushed in from all directions.
Qin Hanyue reacted the fastest. The distance from the front hall to the conference room was quite far. By the time he arrived, the gunshots had stopped.
Sporadic wailing came from inside.
Qin Hanyue charged into the room.
The pungent smell of blood lingered in the conference room. There were only a few live ones left on the ground. The scene was gruesome.
Only two people were still standing.
Qiao Ying held a gun in her hand, the muzzle pointed at the old king standing under the national flag. The old king had already been frightened.
Only now did he realize why Karina was so afraid at the hospital and kept saying this girl was not human but a devil incarnate.
Such horrifying inhuman speed and skill...
It turned out it wasn't because Karina's twenty-odd guards were useless, or that they didn't fire their guns, let alone that Qiao Ying used some kind of scheme...
Lin Cheng stood in front of the old king, blocking Qiao Ying's muzzle.
