His beautiful black eyes stared at Li En, Leng Ling said decisively, "You are my knight, it is natural for us to be together, who dares to discuss it?"
"Ling... I know... but now I have become a thorn in their side... If they really want to get rid of me, even if you want to protect me... it will be very difficult... and you may still
Being implicated by me..."
Leng Ling watched Li En speaking with difficulty and remained silent.
After a moment, he spoke, "Why are you doing this? You promised you would always be by my side, why are you scared now?"
Lean's voice was hoarse, "I don't want you to get hurt..."
Leng Ling lowered his eyes, "If they get rid of you just to weaken Lansen's strength, then their ultimate target is me. Even if you want to protect me, you can't stop this from happening."
"Ling..."
Leng Ling raised his eyes with a determined look, "I will not let their conspiracy succeed. No matter who it is, as long as someone tries to do anything detrimental to Lan Sen, I will not bypass them."
Li En stared at Leng Ling quietly without answering, his golden eyes shining faintly.
Leng Ling put on the sapphire ring for Li En and said in a calm voice, "You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Li En gently touched his lips, "Ling... you have to be careful..."
"I will."
Opening the door to the ward, Leng Ling walked out.
**********
"So, you can't give us an explanation, Your Highness Leng Ling?"
Two days later, Sharda and Leng Ling sat face to face in the headquarters office, exchanging views on Lean's alleged theft of the president's autograph letter.
Leng Ling sat upright and said in an indifferent tone, "The letter was stolen, and there may be another hidden reason."
"Then, Your Highness, can you tell me what you mean by 'something else'?"
Leng Ling frowned slightly, "I have no way to tell you."
Salda shrugged, "The matter is already so clear. The letter was taken by Rean Hans. I don't understand what else you need to hide."
Seeing the other party's disdainful look, his black eyes were calm, "Everyone thinks that Ryan Hans is suspicious. That's because everyone thinks that he is from Valencia and is not worthy of trust. But you should also see him.
For his various performances on the battlefield, the president also strongly commended him for his contribution to the Battle of Kossel. This man was seriously injured and is still lying in the hospital. What reason do you have to doubt his loyalty?"
"I have no quarrel with Rien Hans, and I have no prejudice against him. Your Highness, I have no need to doubt a person who has made contributions to Team Lanson. It's just that now there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, and he himself has no
Please explain the method clearly. If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation, others will definitely talk about your unfair handling in private, and you will be suspected of being undercover."
After speaking, Salda took a sip of coffee and gave Leng Ling a meaningful look.
Leng Ling's eyes narrowed and he immediately changed the topic, "He did enter my carriage that night, but he was not the only one who could enter my carriage. Everyone else on the train was also suspected."
Sharda adjusted her glasses, "Then you mean, someone framed me?"
"This matter involves too many people. On the surface, it seems that it was indeed done by Ryan Hans. However, if someone wants to use this matter to get rid of him, it is not impossible." After a pause,
Leng Ling's clear voice said with a long meaning, "Your Excellency Salda, I know your loyalty to Lansen, and I am also very clear about your concerns. I said that as long as I find evidence of this man's collaboration with the enemy, I will do anything.
I hesitated to kill him with my own hands. But now with these things alone, I think there is no way to convict him. Instead, he will fall into someone else's trap."
"I don't know who would want to get rid of Ryan Hans. Since this man is recognized by the president, wouldn't it be too bold for those people to do so?"
"So, there is another hidden story behind this matter."
Sharda shrugged needlessly, "Well, since Your Highness Leng Ling can't give us an explanation, I can only do it according to my own ideas."
Leng Ling's eyes were sharp, "What do you want to do?"
There was a chill in the spacious office.
Sharda waved her fingers with a relaxed expression, "Your Highness, please don't get excited. I will tell the president about this and see how the president makes his decision."
Leng Ling's eyes cooled slightly, "It's up to you."
"In this case, the conversation between us ends here. I just feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back and rest early." Sharda frowned, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"kindness."
"Then I'll leave first."
Sharda stood up and left the office. After taking a few steps, a voice came from behind.
"Your Excellency Sharda, please wait a moment."
Sharda turned around, "Are you... Second Lieutenant Roy?"
"It's me, Your Excellency, is your conversation with His Highness over?"
Sharda looked at the young man in front of her, her gray eyes flashing with a hint of complexity, "Second Lieutenant Roy, if you have anything to say, please just say it."
"It's nothing important, I just want to inquire," Roy stepped forward, "I heard that the stolen letter was found in Ryan Hans' room?"
"Yes."
"How did His Highness handle this matter?"
His gray eyes narrowed slightly, "Lieutenant Roy, you seem to be very interested in this matter."
Roy said plausibly, "Although His Highness Leng Ling has a very good relationship with Rean Hans, if that man really took this letter, His Highness must punish him. Otherwise, there will be no way to calm our anger.
"
Sharda curled her lips and said, "Since you know that they have a good relationship, Second Lieutenant Roy, I can tell you clearly now that His Highness Leng Ling will not care about this matter."
Roy was stunned, "Why? Just because Lien Hans is His Highness's knight, even if he does such a thing, can His Highness not pursue it?"
Sharda's eyes were dark, "Your Highness thinks that someone has framed me."
"!"
Roy was shocked. Could it be that His Highness Leng Ling had already seen something? Or was it that he had already doubted himself?
Then I thought about it, no, if that were the case, he would have come looking for me a long time ago.
Roy sneered disdainfully, "Your Highness must have made a mistake. How could someone frame him?"
"Really?" Sharda smiled strangely, "But His Highness said that anyone on that train could have gotten the letter. Second Lieutenant Roy, I remember that you were one of those people, right?
"
Roy's voice was a little weak, "It's me, but I have no reason to do this. As a soldier in Lanson, I will never do anything that endangers national interests."
Sharda smiled slightly after hearing this, "Of course, Second Lieutenant Roy, His Highness and I will believe you."
A figure passed by the end of the corridor, and the conversation between the two people was heard.
Roy looked at the end of the corridor warily and shouted nervously, "Who?"
no answer.
Salda's eyes darkened, and he patted Roy on the shoulder, "I have to leave first. If you have anything to say, you can tell His Highness directly."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Sharda returned to the office, called Leng Xiao, and told him exactly what happened.
Leng Xiao didn't show much shock when he found out, and he didn't express much about how Leng Ling handled and concluded the matter.
Finally, he warned that it would be difficult to convict Rien Hans without sufficient evidence, so he could only be careful.
After the call ended, Sharda felt a little disappointed. Her and Ruth Ferdinand's plan was to take this opportunity to get rid of the annoying man.
I originally thought that I could get rid of him based on the theft of the letter, but I didn't expect that Leng Ling would trust that man so much. It was really surprising. Another point is that the letter was stolen. If it really wasn't that Lien Han
If Si did it, then it could have been Ruth Ferdinand.
He picked up the receiver and dialed a series of numbers.
After a few rings, a soft female voice came from the receiver, "I'm Ruth."
"Duchess, it's me."
The person on the other end of the phone was not surprised at all by Sharda's call. She smiled softly and said, "So it's you, Mr. Diplomat. Why did you think of calling me?"
Sharda's eyes were dull, "You lost."
"Yes, if you lose, who made your 'Wings of Freedom' so powerful that it can persist until reinforcements arrive?"
"Then the deal between us can only end."
The sweet voice was a bit colder, "Do you really want to give up like this? That's not what you told me at the beginning."
Sharda's face turned gloomy, "Then do you have any other good ideas?"
"There is a way, but I don't know if you can agree to it."
"Tell me."
"Kill Leng Ling."
A hint of darkness flashed in Sharda's eyes, "Mrs. Ruth, I don't dare to kill the president's nephew. It's better to start with the man next to him like before."
"That man is simply a lunatic. He would risk his life for Leng Ling," Ruth said bitterly.
Salda raised her eyebrows, "If that's the case, then why didn't you get rid of him in Valencia?"
"Karl changed his mind temporarily. It was because that man reached an agreement with Karl that it hindered our plan."
"Really?" Karl sneered, "Then do you know what they said?"
"have no idea."
Although this Ruth is very scheming, for now, she and she have the same enemy, so there is no need for her to deceive herself.
Sharda changed the subject, "Did one of your men write that letter?"
Ruth was a little surprised, "What? I didn't let Parker touch the letter."
"Really?" Sharda rolled her eyes, "The letter appeared in Lien's room. I thought it was done by your men."
"It wasn't me. I did ask him to take the letter away, but he didn't do it later." As if she heard something strange, Ruth thought for a moment and said, "Since the letter appeared with him,
That means that besides us, there are people who want his life. This man will not be stupid enough to take the letter and leave it in the room and let others find it."
