Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: Uneasy
In the past, this man interrogated her just out of national duty. Even if his attitude was cold, it was merely due to differing stances, but now she saw intense hatred and disgust in his eyes.
This hatred made her heart tighten, not so much from fear, but more from shock, disbelief, and an indescribable discomfort.
"Sorry." She couldn’t retort even a single word, only bowing her head and softly apologizing, because indeed, it was because of her that the Councilman’s wife took the stage, and also because of her, Fengye Wuyin succeeded in his plot.
It was just she never thought he was the Councilman’s wife’s son at the time, nor did she know that Fengye Wuyin intended to assassinate the Councilman’s wife.
Otherwise, she would never have let Fengye Wuyin succeed.
"Sorry?" Ji Lingkong’s gaze was icy cold, "What good is an apology? Besides, whether your apology is sincere or insincere is still uncertain. But regardless of your intentions, you hurt my mother. If anything happens to her, you’ll accompany her to the grave!"
Jun Yiyi shivered, her face turning pale.
But she also understood that she was indeed responsible for this matter. Fengye Wuyin’s success was because she provided the bridge. Otherwise, with so many bodyguards around the Councilman’s wife, Fengye Wuyin couldn’t have gotten close. Half of the responsibility was on her.
If the Councilman’s wife truly died, she couldn’t escape punishment. With his mother wounded like this, she understood his aversion towards her.
"Then what can I do, is there anything I can help with?" She lifted her head, speaking earnestly. At this point, regret was futile, she was already an accomplice.
The only thing she could do was find a way to save the Councilman’s wife. If she could do anything, she would definitely help with all her might.
"I want you to reveal what biochemical substance was put on those fragments?" Ji Lingkong’s cold eyes were like frost.
Jun Yiyi smiled bitterly, "I truly don’t know. Even if you ask me a hundred times, I still can’t tell you."
Ji Lingkong watched her expression for a few moments, secretly thinking if this girl was just a pawn, then indeed, she might not know. After all, core secrets might not be fully disclosed to someone intended to be discarded.
"Then I can only inconvenience Miss Jun to go inside!"
He cast a glance at the researchers, seemingly ordering something?
Those people approached, coldly dragging her towards the research facility.
Jun Yiyi didn’t know what they intended to do, but also had a foreboding feeling. This was a strange world; she didn’t know what actions these people might take, so she felt very uncertain and quite anxious.
The only person she recognized and felt she could rely on was him. In her panic, she couldn’t help but turn back, wanting to ask him where these people intended to take her and what they planned to do?
Yet seeing his tall, cold silhouette reflected on the ground, with eyes that revealed only indifference watching as she was dragged away, the questions she wanted to ask died on her lips.
She silently retracted her gaze, feeling somewhat bitter, probably knowing even if she asked, he wouldn’t answer.
Thus, with anxious trepidation, Jun Yiyi was led into the white building and brought into a room filled with various high-tech precision instruments she had never seen before, much less knowing their purpose.
Forced onto a hovering sickbed, her hands and feet were immobilized by silver round coin-like objects, making her unable to struggle in the bed, as though she were a corpse awaiting dissection with a scalpel.
Jun Yiyi watched those researchers in white coats pushing one strange machine after another, suspending them above her.
