Chapter 1705: Chapter 1705: The Thing She Feared Most
Maybe he would even sympathize with her for this, gently take care of her, and strive to snatch her back from the clutches of illness.
Thinking of that warm scene, Yiyi’s heart stirred, and she couldn’t help but gaze at Ling Kong, only to see his indifferent profile, the intricate lines as if carved from ice and jade. She was taken aback; such a cold person probably only showed gentleness to his family.
To others who had nothing to do with him, he was as cold as frost, never considering anyone in his heart, much less showing any gentleness.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a research staff member in white hurried in, holding a palm-sized small detector.
"What’s wrong?" Ling Kong realized he had discovered something important and urgently asked.
The researcher was full of excitement and pointed at the detector: "Just now, I inadvertently detected very slight fluctuations. After carefully studying the energy fluctuations at different times, I’m sure..."
The researcher’s sharp and excited gaze suddenly locked onto Yiyi.
"She has a micro bio-wave device installed on her, right on her ear. It’s probably used to communicate with the outside world."
Yiyi was greatly shocked and subconsciously touched her ear. How could it be? There was clearly nothing on her ear! She had never found Fengye Wuyin installing anything on her ear.
But seeing the researcher’s confident look of discovering a new continent, her heart gradually cooled down.
If this thing was really installed on her, she would be unable to clear her name, completely labeled as a traitor working from within.
Yiyi couldn’t help feeling flustered and instinctively looked at Ling Kong, trembling as she defended herself: "I didn’t, I’m not a traitor..."
Ling Kong’s eyes had already changed abruptly, a flash of astonishment in his eyes. Apparently, before, he never absolutely thought that Yiyi could be a traitor, despite his suspicions. There was a subtle voice in his heart willing to believe her.
Now with the researcher’s words, the feeling in his heart was beyond description, coupled with an inexplicable anger and disappointment.
His gaze darkened sharply, as sharp as a blade: "Whether you are or not is not up to your words. The test results will reveal the truth!"
Then Yiyi was taken for a check, especially focusing on her ears. She continuously prayed silently, hoping at least there was a mistake, and none of it was true.
But she vaguely recalled a detail she hadn’t noticed before.
That was after she had dressed in her gown and Fengye Wuyin adorned her with accessories, while putting on her earrings, the ear needle pierced her ear hole and pricked her. She thought it was just Fengye Wuyin’s clumsiness.
She didn’t pay attention at the time.
But looking back now, it was probably not so simple. Fengye Wuyin was truly frighteningly meticulous, far from the rough exterior appearance.
"Ah..." She suddenly felt a pain in her left ear as a probe pierced into her earlobe. With a sharp pull, she heard the excited researcher say they pulled it out.
Her face instantly turned snow-white, drained of color.
The thing she feared most had finally come.
She stiffly turned her head, looking not far away at Ling Kong, who stood with his arms crossed in front of him calmly, his expression detached as he watched her being examined. At this moment, his eyes, dark as the darkness in hell, glowed with extreme cold and anger.
So cold, cold enough to penetrate the bone as he looked at her.
Such a gaze made her heart freeze inch by inch, feeling the deep cold penetrating her bones, feeling... so sorrowful.
