Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: Meddling in Others’ Business
Flemming was just about to speak complacently when he heard a cool, casual voice beside him, hiding a sharp blade beneath its smile, elegant yet malicious.
"To show off your skills, you carelessly reveal national secrets to others. Such reckless behavior will soon attract the National Security Bureau to you, offering you a free stay in their cells!"
Ji Lingkong elegantly held a crystal wine glass, with a casual smile on his handsome face, walking over nonchalantly.
Flemming’s face changed instantly, realizing he’d almost done something self-destructive. Terrified, his face turned pale, and he was incredibly scared. His little pride and flaunting attitude felt like they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
Jun Yiyi tilted her head, looking at Ji Lingkong appearing beside her, startled, facing his deep eyes, her heart suddenly in a fluster.
Earlier, when she came downstairs, she seemed to glance around the room casually and saw him at the back of the crowd.
With such a confident and composed smile, an expression of anticipation yet complete control of everything, her good mood turned slightly sour. He must be expecting to create a surprise for his loved one with that smile.
So, she nonchalantly swept her gaze past his face, as if completely unconcerned with his appearance. She saw many beautiful ladies, but she couldn’t guess which one at this party was his heart’s desire.
But it didn’t concern her; she wouldn’t let him spoil her mood, so she stopped thinking about him.
Unexpectedly, just as she was enjoying her conversation, he had to come over and ruin her mood.
Especially now, his face bore an indifferent expression, and the disdainful look in his eyes directed at Flemming infuriated her even more, made her feel even worse. It was bad enough he looked down on her, but to also look down on Flemming.
Flemming was now her friend at the party; him mocking Flemming was also mocking her.
"What does it matter to you, mind your own business," she retorted unkindly.
Ling Kong’s brow subtly furrowed, watching Jun Yiyi with dissatisfaction across her face, speaking up for Flemming. It was obvious to calm that man’s sinking heart.
She was actually upset with him, speaking on behalf of a man she met for the first time, which made his face even gloomier.
"Yiyi, I’m merely stating the facts, kindly reminding him. If he carelessly divulges secrets and something goes wrong, you’d be implicated too. This is no laughing matter, don’t be foolish." His family was in the arms industry, working closely with the government, familiar with the utmost importance of keeping such secrets, this was not something to joke about.
He indeed looked down on this Flemming, becoming arrogant from flattery by beautiful ladies; no matter his competence, he was unlikely to achieve greatness.
Jun Yiyi bit her lip, unwillingly huffing: "Flemming and I were just talking about non-confidential topics. Flemming is impressive, highly accomplished academically, a prominent figure at our school."
"Oh, really?" Ji Lingkong let out a disdainful sneer, arrogantly casting a sidelong glance at Flemming.
This guy could make Yiyi worship him, but he had merely spent a few extra years in the research institute. If she researched a few more years, she’d see it as nothing special. Those so-called bold and ambitious ideals he bragged about seemed to him as nothing more than a young passionate man’s daydreams. The world was not as simple as they imagined.
Thinking that mastering some technology could lead to creating some world-shocking weapon.
"What do you mean by that tone, looking down on our conversation topic?" Seeing his disdainful expression toward Flemming, Jun Yiyi grew even more furious.
