Chapter 1706: Chapter 1706: Seeing Through Her
This kind of gaze made her heart freeze inch by inch, feeling a deep chill to the bone, feeling... so sad.
"What else do you have to say?" He strode up to her, angrily questioning her, usually calm and composed, but at this moment unable to control his anger because he never expected that she would indeed be proven to be a spy.
Perhaps deep down, he didn’t want this to be true, yet it was a fact.
It disappointed him.
"Would you believe me if I explained?" Jun Yiyi’s eyes darkened, a faint smile tugging at her lips, her glassy eyes showing a hint of mist, giving her an oddly sorrowful expression.
Ji Lingkong suddenly closed in on her, his dark eyes boring into hers, their gazes clashing like sparks flying, intertwined with intense surges.
"Why should I believe you? You’re just someone I’ve known for only a few days, your background is unknown, your past, everything about you, what kind of person you are, I don’t know, nor do I even want to know. I have no emotional ties with you, nor a friendship, so why should I believe you?"
A stormy burst of cold and sharp words stabbed at Jun Yiyi, making her fingertips tremble with nothing to say, silently staring at him with blank eyes.
Indeed, to him, she was merely a stranger, their pasts without any intersection.
As such a stranger, why should he believe her instead of the evidence laid before him?
And why should she insist on making this stranger believe her, as if his disbelief would make her feel so sad? He’s just an insignificant stranger, does his belief or disbelief matter that much?
She thought it didn’t matter, yet the inexplicable pain of being questioned and doubted in her heart was something she couldn’t ignore.
So foolish.
"You’re right, I’ve got nothing to say." She stubbornly turned her head aside, avoiding his questioning gaze.
Ji Lingkong straightened his tall posture again, expressionless: "How could you have nothing to say? Since it’s proved that you are a spy, then you must know a lot of insider information, many secrets regarding this assassination operation, concerning the interests of the Aus Empire. And I, must extract these secrets from you!"
The last sentence, decisive and full of undeniable force, left Jun Yiyi’s face pale, speechless for a long time.
"Since you know I’m a spy, then you should very well understand the strict rules of spies that once captured, one would rather die than betray the secrets of their employer. It’s a professional ethic, so how could I speak?"
Her lips curved in a nonchalant smile, indifferent.
After all, she’s already fallen to such a state, surrounded in a net like this, there’s no way she could escape, she’d like to see what more they could do to her?
Ji Lingkong gazed at her nonchalant expression, frowning: "Don’t be stubborn, this doesn’t do you any good, and I don’t see you as someone with such noble professional ethics."
"You speak as if you understand me, then tell me, what kind of person should I be?" Jun Yiyi raised her eyebrow challengingly.
"A self-centered person would never follow the rules of ordinary people. You must be an egoist, as long as it concerns your own little life, betrayal isn’t even a moral issue for you."
Jun Yiyi was quite surprised because in such a short time, he could see through her character traits at a glance, hitting the nail on the head.
Better understanding her than anyone else.
She really didn’t understand, she’s not someone who’s easily seen through, and yet after only two encounters, he could see her so clearly.
