Leng Ling sat at the desk, her mind filled with the content of her conversation with Ruth just now.
There is indeed a lot of conflict between this woman and Karl, but such a woman is too elusive. Although her request is indeed tempting, and I did feel a little shaken at the time. But before I understand this woman's purpose, I will never
You cannot agree, let alone let the other party notice any signs of loosening on your part.
There are still five days before she is sent back to the country. During these five days, anything can happen. He has to send someone to monitor her at all times to prevent the previous thing from happening.
"Dong dong, Your Highness!"
Fan Wu's voice sounded outside the door.
Leng Ling retracted her thoughts and said in a light voice, "Come in."
Fan Wu opened the door and walked in, "Your Highness, I have restored the notebook. Please check it."
Leng Ling took the notebook and found the page. The originally blurry words became clear after Fan Wu's processing. Looking at the line of names, the expression on his face suddenly solidified.
Lean von Isius.
"Hello, my name is Lean Hans. Nice to meet you, Leng Ling."
A magnetic voice suddenly flashed in his mind, and Leng Ling's heart trembled for no reason.
"Your Highness, can you read the name clearly?"
Seeing that the other party was a little distracted, Fan Wu asked in a low voice.
Hearing the soft call, Leng Ling immediately adjusted his expression and said, "You did a good job, thank you."
"This is my duty, Your Highness. You're welcome."
Leng Ling closed the book and said calmly, "How is he?"
"Lean Hans's wound healed very quickly, but it only added to his original old injury, so he still needs to continue to rest."
Leng Ling frowned, "Isn't his old injury healed yet?"
"It's a bit repetitive, but it's nothing serious," Fan Wu said vaguely, "Your Highness, I'm leaving first."
"Go ahead."
After Fan Wu left, Leng Ling stretched out his fingers to trace the names on the notebook, his dark eyes gradually getting darker.
Same person, different names, what does this mean?
"Then do you think he will always be loyal to you?"
"You know, this man...he is not simple."
Leng Ling picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number, "Lance, ask Second Lieutenant Roy to come to my office immediately."
"yes."
A few minutes later, the closed door was knocked again.
"Your Highness."
Leng Ling raised her hand and said, "Sit."
Roy sat down and saw Leng Ling's thick eyebrows shrinking slightly. The uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart for several days was lifted again, "Your Highness, what do you want from me?"
"Tell me exactly what happened that day when you and Rean Hans intercepted the train."
Hearing Leng Ling say this, Roy's whole heart was pricked, and the fingers on his thigh trembled slightly.
Is it possible that His Highness Leng Ling found something?
Roy looked at Leng Ling with a guilty conscience and told him all about the fight and confrontation on the train that day.
Leng Ling's expression was calm. He listened quietly without making any reaction until Roy recounted the conversation between Lean and Ruth in the carriage, especially when Ruth called Lean "Lieutenant Colonel Lean."
, and when mentioning sensitive words such as Rean's father, the expression on his face finally changed.
But he didn't say a word from beginning to end, until Roy finished narrating everything, his handsome face was already deeply chilled.
"Your Highness, that's it."
After saying this, Roy's palms were already wet. He lowered his head and pretended to fiddle with his clothes, but he was filled with fear inside.
The office was so eerily quiet that even the sound of a pin falling to the ground could be heard extremely clearly. Roy closed his eyes and waited for Leng Ling's answer.
"I understand, Lieutenant Roy, you can leave."
Unexpectedly, Leng Ling just said such a sentence lightly, which surprised Roy.
"Your Highness, you..."
"I'm a little tired, you go down."
"Yes. Your Highness, please have a good rest. I'm going out first."
Roy stood up, bowed slightly towards Leng Ling and left the office.
Leng Ling was sitting in the office, his mind a little confused. He thought of Ruth, that woman.
There is no need for this woman to deceive herself. Maybe, she can really get the answer she wants.
If so, give it a try.
Leng Ling asked Lance to find Mrs. Ruth and her bodyguard Parker. The three of them sat face to face in the office. On the table in front of them was the restored notebook.
Ruth looked at Leng Ling's perfect face without any flaws and smiled faintly, "Your Highness Leng Ling, I am truly honored to be able to meet you twice in one day."
Leng Ling's eyes were steady, "Madam, there are some things that I want to confirm with you again. I hope you can cooperate with me."
Ruth smiled sweetly, "Your Highness Leng Ling, if you want to discuss a deal with me, then I will be very happy. If those things have nothing to do with me, then..."
The thin lines of his lips spoke out a few words, "Who is Rean Hans?"
Sure enough, he began to have doubts.
Ruth felt proud and glanced at Parker standing next to her, her lips parted and she said, "He is your knight."
"What's his real name?"
"Real name?" Ruth raised her slender eyebrows, then shrugged, "I don't know, I've only met him once or twice, and I don't understand his situation at all. I only know that he is a soldier.
Moreover, his father holds an important position. You can ask Parker about this."
Leng Ling turned his attention to Parker, who nodded to him, "Your Highness, I can tell you whatever you want to know."
"But Your Highness, before you get any information about Lieutenant Colonel Lane, you must agree to the conditions I proposed this morning."
Leng Ling's eyes were slightly cold, "Madam, if you can tell me everything you know, I can consider asking the Prime Minister to pardon your sins."
"Haha," Ruth supported her chin and smiled lightly, "Your Highness Leng Ling, what do you think Karl will do to me? Your Excellency, the President, has given you the autographed letter, so naturally you want him to let me go.
Therefore, I will not agree to your condition."
His handsome face revealed a hint of anger, "Then what do you want?"
"I want you to work with me to overthrow Karl's regime."
Leng Ling responded without hesitation, "I refuse."
Ruth Ruth shrugged her shoulders, not disappointed, "Your Highness, there is no loss for you by cooperating with us. Our common enemy is Karl. As long as you can agree to our request, not only can Lansen
Getting rid of the threat of Karl will also make your position in Lanson more stable. After all, the president of Lanson should have belonged to you."
Hearing the hidden meaning in this woman's words, Leng Ling remained unmoved.
"Madam, I only hope that Lanson can get rid of the troubles of the war and the people can live a stable life, but I will never participate in the political struggles of other countries for this purpose. As for what you said about consolidating Lanson
status, I don’t think it’s necessary.”
"Well, since that's the case, then our conversation ends here. Everything about that man can only be investigated by yourself, Your Highness."
After saying that, Ruth stood up and left the office with an enchanting figure on her stiletto heels, followed by Parker.
Ruth walked in the corridor leading to the room, looking at the noncommissioned officers coming and going, and her brown eyes glanced at the man behind her.
"Parker."
"yes."
The other party left with a tacit understanding, ducked to the door of an office, stuffed a note into the crack of the door while no one was paying attention, and then followed Ruth away as if nothing had happened.
**********
The moment the door closed, Leng Ling rubbed his sore temples, leaned back with his whole body, and sank deeply into the seat.
Slowly closing his eyes, a touch of unspeakable worry washed over his handsome face.
Rien von Isius or Rien Hans, which one is your real name?
In the afternoon of early winter, the sun shone faintly on my body, but it lost its previous heat and could not shine into Leng Ling's heart at all.
After a long time, Leng Ling made a decision in his heart. He would ask the man himself to find out all this.
He came to the hospital with his notebook, pushed open the ward, and saw a man sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and concentrating. The hospital gown was draped loosely around his body, exposing his strong chest.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the other person's complexion improved, but the layers of gauze wrapped around his body showed that he had been severely injured.
Hearing the sound, Lien opened his eyes. After seeing the person coming, he grinned and said, "You finally came to see me."
Looking at the thick gauze on the man's body, Leng Ling's mouth felt sour.
He calmly put the notebook into his pocket, walked a few steps to Lien and sat down, "Are you feeling better?"
Li En joked, "When I see you here, all my aches and pains are gone." He reached out and took Leng Ling's slightly cold hand, and he held it in his palm, "Ling, I miss you."
Thick eyelashes drooped, Leng Ling let Li En hold her palm and remained silent, but her heart was already rippling.
On the way here, he had already thought about how to ask and what to say. But when he actually stepped here, facing this man who used his life to defend the dignity of his country, he didn't know how to speak.
For the first time, there was an inexplicable fear in my heart, shrouding Leng Ling's heart in a haze.
As if he noticed something was wrong with Leng Ling today, the smile on Li En's face froze, but he just looked at him and did not say anything.
After hesitating for a moment, Leng Ling asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." The light orchid fragrance floated in the air, and Li En sniffed it intoxicatedly, then put his hand on the corner of his mouth and kissed it, "The smell of orchid, my love.
"
The two sat in silence for a while, and it was Li En who spoke first, "Ling, I've read it and asked it. Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
Leng Ling took out the notebook and put it in Li En's hand, "Recovered."
The golden pupils froze, "Why did you bring this book again?"
