Chapter 1701: Chapter 1671: You’d Better Know
The news reports mentioned that the Councilman’s wife had her throat cut at the banquet. Initially, it wasn’t anything serious after treatment, but in the last two days, her condition worsened, and she suddenly developed a high fever. It is said that the wound was infected by unknown bacteria.
Now the media suspects that the murderer at the banquet might have smeared some biochemical bacteria on the weapon, intending to, if not kill the Councilman’s wife outright, then at least ensure her death by illness.
Anyway, the media is furious now and is clamoring to punish the relevant perpetrator.
Jun Yiyi suddenly understood why the Councilman couldn’t suppress his anger at the press conference earlier; it turned out the Councilman’s wife was in danger.
The life and death of the Councilman’s wife were closely tied to her own fate.
After about an hour, Ling Kong burst in with a cold face, no longer the leisurely and lazy figure he was a few days ago.
Jun Yiyi looked into his unfathomably dark eyes and felt a chill in her heart, instinctively stepping back.
"Tell me, what was on those fragments?" His questioning voice was very low and calm but chilling to the bones.
Jun Yiyi’s face turned pale, and she stammered, "I told you, I’m not in cahoots with him. Before the final incident, I had no idea what he was planning. How could I possibly know what was on them?"
"You’d better know what it was, or there won’t be a good ending for you." Ling Kong’s eyes were sharp, with fury exploding.
Jun Yiyi held her breath, her lips turning deathly white: "What do you mean by this? Are you going to kill me?"
She looked at the anger swirling in his eyes, the implicit murderous intent that shone faintly towards her, her heart spasming a few times, feeling a suffocating stabbing pain.
Since being brought here, she hadn’t felt panicked, because she had a gut feeling that this man wouldn’t harm her.
But now, seeing the hatred in his eyes, she couldn’t feel so confidently self-centered anymore.
Her heart ached more.
Did he really want to kill her?
"Yes, if she dies, don’t think you’ll live either."
These merciless words made Jun Yiyi tremble all over. The sunlight streaming in from outside the window cast over her pale bloodless face, giving it a heart-stopping fragile look.
"Why?"
"Because she is my mother, the person most important to me, the one I must protect at all costs. I can’t allow you to harm her the slightest bit." Ling Kong’s tone was firm.
The Councilman’s wife was his most important person, worth protecting at all costs, not allowing any harm.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yiyi felt as if a soft spot deep within her heart was stabbed viciously, waves of piercing pain assaulting her.
For some reason, these words made her feel unbearably sad, indescribably sad, wanting to cry.
There was even a strange illusion that these words should have belonged to her, as if someone had once gently said such words to her, but now, they belonged to someone else.
The intense pain of sudden loss made her very uncomfortable.
In the future, would there be no one who would protect her at all costs anymore?
...
Jun Yiyi was dragged into the car, sitting next to Ling Kong, who exuded an icy aura.
The car sped through the air, dashing swiftly forward between the buildings.
"Taking me to the hospital won’t help either. I really don’t know what your mother has been infected with. I think the most important thing now is to gather skilled doctors to try and figure out the problem, only then can she be saved." Jun Yiyi’s face was somber, looking at him with concern.
So the Councilman’s wife was his mother, and it turned out he was the Councilman’s son, no wonder he cared so much about her.
