Chapter 1686: Chapter 1686: No Better Ending
The sharp glass caught between his fingers flashed briefly, in that instant, the urge to kill surged intensely within him.
Such close proximity was enough for him to fling the shard forward, stabbing directly into her heart from behind, ending the life of this cunning woman who betrayed him.
Calming the unspeakable anger, huh, after all these years, he always outsmarted others, yet he ended up being spun around by a little girl, discovering the truth only at the last moment—it truly felt as if he had screwed up completely.
Could she be a spy sent by the Aus Empire?
Swiftly, numerous thoughts flashed through his mind. She knew quite a few secrets; if leaked, they would certainly cause trouble. Fengye Wuyin’s face was gloomy, his pupils contracted.
The shard between his fingers was flicked out, eventually shooting like an arrow.
Then he disappeared behind the door.
...
This incident lasted for about half an hour, thoroughly eliminating the danger at the banquet, but a cheerful charity evening turned into explosive political news.
The Councilman’s wife was not successfully assassinated by Fengye Wuyin, because Jun Yiyi suddenly drew out a specially made small mirror, reflecting light into his eyes, buffering his assassination move.
But Fengye Wuyin, being a professional, failed to succeed, yet the shard still managed to cut the Councilman’s wife’s neck, injuring an artery, causing a panic. The impromptu doctor immediately sent her for emergency treatment.
Everyone knew the Councilman was deeply affectionate towards his wife; even a hair injured would make him absolutely furious. Had anything happened to his wife tonight, an international uproar could have ensued, costing many their lives.
As for Jun Yiyi, she was detained in a room, under strict supervision.
The bleeding on her thigh had been stopped, and the sharp glass had been removed by a doctor. Since the injury was on the thigh, it wasn’t fatal, though the shard penetrated deeply enough due to the animosity of the one who shot it, causing her to bleed considerably.
It was Fengye Wuyin, wasn’t it? Jun Yiyi recalled his shocked and furious eyes after she intervened, a chill sent down her spine that made her shiver, sensing his murderous aura at that moment.
If he wasn’t in a hurry to escape, his threat to twist off her head might not have been a joke.
Her face was pallid; she had thoroughly offended this person and hoped never to encounter him again, or her fate next time would be grimly disastrous.
However, having saved the Councilman’s wife didn’t lead to a consequence any better.
Jun Yiyi raised her eyes to look at the room where two toweringly tall and strong soldiers stood, their eyes cold and vigilant, monitoring her. It was troubling; seemingly, the people of the Aus Empire distrusted her too.
When the lights reignited, Ji Lingkong appeared before her, his incomparable handsome face penetratingly icy, his deep black eyes resembling a bottomless pool, calm and wave-free, so cold that momentarily she felt her heart tremble, a sudden pang striking through her.
The next second, he ordered frostily to have her locked up.
Jun Yiyi gazed quietly at the room, her eyes in a daze, then released a wry smile.
Apparently, not acting would be better than having acted, now that both sides were offended, both sides suspecting her. Yet in truth, she only instinctively reacted to save the Councilman’s wife.
She held no grudges against the Councilman’s wife; how could she stand by and watch this woman suddenly be killed in front of her?
Moreover, the Councilman’s wife seemed to have a deep connection with him; his worried, anxious expression made her think that if the wife died, he would be greatly saddened, so she acted without hesitation.
