Lance unbuttoned his collar, took out a pendant, and pointed at it.
Lean speculated, "The pendant was picked up by Sharda? And then it was discovered by Ralph? So he secretly investigated Sharda and brought disaster?"
"Yes," Lance said with some guilt, "I should have died. I was the one who harmed Ralph."
Lean comforted, "You can't resurrect the dead. Since Ralph died for you, at least it means you are safe now."
Lance nodded sadly, "Yes."
"It's getting late. You should go back first. I will keep today's affairs a secret for you."
"Thank you."
After watching Lance return to his room, Lien came to Leng Ling's office.
The corridor was quiet late at night. Standing at the office door, a ray of light seeped out from the crack in the door.
Lean stared at the closed door for a long time, then slowly turned the door handle and pushed in.
In the quiet room, a thin black figure was crouching in front of the desk. Lien slowly walked forward and found that the other person didn't seem to notice him.
Lien stood behind the man for a long time, smelling the quiet orchid fragrance in the air, and Lien was deeply intoxicated.
"Ling."
He called out softly tentatively, but the other party didn't respond. Only then did he realize that his straight back was also slightly tilted.
It turned out that he was asleep, his eyebrows were slightly bent, and Lien took off his coat and put it on the other person.
The other person seemed to be sleeping deeply and was unaware of what was happening around him.
The thick eyelashes drooped slightly, covering those beautiful star eyes. Under the high bridge of the nose, the thin lips were slightly pursed.
Sitting quietly next to Leng Ling, Li En stared at the other person's peaceful sleeping face with a smile on his face.
This person was always so beautiful and calm, but it was such a foreign man that made me so obsessed with him that I couldn't extricate myself.
I really hope that days like this can go on forever and never end, but...
The golden eyes drooped bitterly, and Lean leaned on the chair, his eyes melancholy.
After a while, Leng Ling woke up, moved his body slightly, and immediately realized that there was an extra piece of clothing on his body, a familiar smell, and a good smell of tobacco.
He rubbed his sore temples with his hands, and looked sideways at the man beside him. He saw the man leaning on the chair, dozing off with his forehead supported by one hand.
Not wanting to wake up Li En, Leng Ling put the clothes back on the man, got up and walked to the window.
"woke up?"
"Well," Leng Ling turned to look at the man, "I didn't even know you came in just now."
"I don't want to wake you up," Li En smiled and put on his clothes, "It's already early in the morning, I'll go back with you."
After the short sleep just now, Leng Ling's mind was much clearer, "The banker talked to me this afternoon and they can't provide any more funds."
Rean frowned, "In other words, our military factory is going to shut down?
Leng Ling looked determined, "No matter what method I use, I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"If you need my help, just ask. No matter what the difficulty is, we can overcome it."
"There will always be a way."
"Yes," Li En put his arm around Leng Ling's shoulder, "Go back and have a good sleep."
"Um."
In an office in the headquarters, a figure held a microphone in the darkness and said, "Admiral Kaman, it's me."
"It's so late, what do you want from me?"
"His Royal Highness Leng Ling is investigating Alan Sharda."
"Oh?" Kaman was very interested in the news, "What did you find out?"
"I'm not sure. Someone was killed by him because he was secretly following Sharda. His Highness Leng Ling didn't seem to do anything about it and just buried that person hastily. I thought something was fishy, so I checked secretly and found out that he was investigating Sharda.
Da.”
Kaman said with satisfaction, "Very good, continue to keep an eye on me. I want to see what this Leng Ling can find out. If there can be some conflict between him and Sharda, it will play into my hands.
"After a short pause, Kaman asked, "By the way, Leng Ling doesn't suspect anything about you, right?"
Roy was stunned for a moment, then immediately denied, "No."
"That's good, think about your family and fiancée, and do your best."
Roy's eyes darkened, "I know."
"Keep an eye on them and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
"yes."
Kaman hung up the phone, curled his lips with satisfaction, then touched the pet dog lying beside the sofa, and sneered, "Leng Ling, Leng Ling, do you think that Salda is so easy to get rid of? You know, his
There is a cold owl behind me. Although I dislike Sharda very much, I also hate you. So, tell me, should I tell your uncle about you?"
Standing up slowly, Kaman poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, "Forget it, for the sake of your usefulness, I'll keep your secret for now. But when the day comes when the fire can no longer be contained, you
I can only take your honor and nobility and go underground to find your dead parents."
In the following period, Leng Ling used all available funds to find ways to support the operation of the military factory. Fortunately, with the help of local bankers and Leng Ling's use of his personal connections, he was able to raise some funds to maintain the military factory.
Factory operations.
At the same time, civil unrest broke out in Valencia.
The anti-war faction successfully escaped from prison and released a large amount of evidence that Prime Minister Karl was suspected of corruption and fraud. This was like a bomb that exploded in Valencia, which was already in turmoil.
Carr was furious and ordered a nationwide search for anti-war opponents, and even those close to them must be killed without mercy.
The army swept across the country, arresting anti-war factions and their cronies.
Although the people hated the war, they hated the things Karl had done even more. They were passionate and shouted loudly for Karl to step down. However, the anti-war faction was always just a civil force. Even if they were armed, they were only militiamen.
Facing the government's menacing suppression, they were unable to fight back. When the common people saw that the anti-war faction's momentum was gone, they could only choose to remain silent.
White led the army to sweep through the areas where the anti-war faction was present. They killed everyone they saw without mercy.
In this bloodbath of killings, the riots were quickly quelled, and the civil strife in Valencia was terminated.
Karl was deeply satisfied with White's performance. He greatly praised him and promoted him to General White.
In the Prime Minister's Residence, a group of people were celebrating. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they had survived the disaster. Only Admiral Isildar stood alone in the corner, his brows furrowed.
"Prime Minister, cheers for our victory!"
"Dry!"
Zoro held the wine glass and walked up to Admiral Isildar, "Admiral, why don't you come over and celebrate with us?"
