Chapter 1689: Chapter 1689: Are You Fooling Me?
Previously, she thought that him going to the banquet to get close to the councilman’s wife was just to extract some intelligence.
This person is quite meticulous in their thoughts.
"So, you say this assassin was sent by the Eagle Country? Not someone from Yalan Country." Ling Kong showed a shocked expression, then his gaze darkened.
Aus and Eagle Country are both top-tier nations, rivals in military and economic aspects, secretly competing to the death, yet overtly cooperating and communicating like brother nations.
Therefore, they generally dare not do anything too excessive, as these matters, if escalated politically, would cause a severe storm.
The president of Eagle Country is not a reckless hardliner. Given his consistently steady political style, Ling Kong thinks that someone with such conservative politics would not risk ordering such an adventurous action for the sake of Yalan Country.
Ha, is it really Eagle Country?
Jun Yi saw his somewhat unbelieving expression and immediately said, "Yalan Country sending assassins to offend Aus Empire, which came to their aid, seems without any benefit, right?"
Ling Kong entered those two names into an intelligence database, after checking, his expression grew colder: "I’m sorry, it seems there are no such people."
Jun Yiyi’s face showed a slightly awkward smile: "They should be aliases, they’re not dumb enough to use real names in front of me."
Ling Kong swept his hand, calmly retracting the aerial projection screen, and turned to look at Jun Yiyi, whose beautiful deep eyes, alluring yet cold as a freezing pool, sparkled with dangerous light.
He suddenly stood up, leaned over, his lengthy hand landing on the sofa near her shoulder, effortlessly trapping her beneath him, a cool hand lifting her chin.
His incomparably handsome face slowly approached her, noble phoenix eyes slightly raised, flames hidden in his pupils flickered, though clearly scorching, it rather spread a biting chill.
"Miss Jun, everything you’ve shared is useless information! Is this your fully prepared ’complete cooperation’ from the past two days? Quite disappointing, you’re fooling me."
His fingers gradually tightened on her delicate chin, his voice issued a ruthless warning, icily penetrating.
"I advise you not to try shielding this criminal, pulling nonsense to distract from the investigation. This won’t benefit you at all."
Jun Yiyi was forced back against the sofa, tilting her head up, looking at his fierce, incisive interrogation expression, feeling her heart freeze inch by inch, and as the pain in her chin intensified, her body trembled.
"You don’t believe my explanation? You suspect I’m babbling nonsense?" Her voice grew somewhat anxious.
Ling Kong smiled coldly: "What makes you think you’re trustworthy, Miss Jun? Your cooperation is rather blatant, and your entire account is as fluent as reciting, seeming reasonable yet divulging not a shred of effective information, indeed well ’prepared’ to be thorough."
The suspicion in his tone was unmistakable, how could Jun Yiyi not hear it? Her face paled further, meeting his scrutinizing eyes, she desperately explained.
"I know it sounds like this incident is remarkably coincidental and theatrical, like it’s fabricated, but I’ve truly shared everything I know, I haven’t lied, I can swear. As for what you said about my words lacking information, it’s not my fault, those people grabbed me temporarily, how could they trust me to divulge any information? Since they’re attempting something so dangerous, obviously they ought to be watertight, keeping me in the dark to prevent leaks."
