My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2022: Dragged Into the Water

So when the situation became tense, my uncle began placing his own people in important law enforcement departments in the capital to ensure that if there were any sudden changes, he could quickly control the situation in the entire city.

These law enforcement departments held a crucial position in such a situation and were the easiest to succeed in. He heard that his uncle planned to appoint Ling Kong as the chief officer in the city’s core area. He couldn’t let this man have such a good opportunity to make a name for himself.

So he quickly took the initiative to ask his father and some of his uncle’s old friends to step in and recommend him for this law enforcement position.

His father’s and several old friends’ influence was still very effective, plus he had been diligent and hard-working lately, making his uncle feel he had improved a lot, and eventually gave him the position.

He won this battle against that enigmatic guy by a large margin, and when he met Ling Kong, he even made a point to taunt him.

But unexpectedly, bad luck came so quickly. He had gotten wind that members of the Queen’s Party appeared mysteriously at the school, suspected of plotting something, and he felt a huge opportunity had arrived. Overjoyed, he suppressed the news privately so that Ling Kong wouldn’t snatch the chance, planning to lead a surprise raid and successfully arrest the Queen’s Party members, making great contributions.

After all his calculations, he ended up being outsmarted by the Queen’s Party, resulting in a shocking bloodshed incident.

The scandal erupted into a storm, and it probably became a huge blemish on his uncle’s political record. He caused big trouble for his uncle; would he let him off?

Even if he would, he probably wouldn’t use him again in the future; his future was ruined!

Ling Kong dismissed his frustrated accusations with indifference, "I’m just speaking the truth. But you, do you really understand what the most important thing for a soldier is?"

"What is it?" Helian Nan glared at him.

Ling Kong’s thin lips curled slightly, his beautiful eyes lifted with a faint disdain.

"Responsibility, the courage to accept mistakes, not endless excuses to dodge. No matter the reason, the incident occurred in your jurisdiction, so you bear the undeniable responsibility."

Halian Jing listened and nodded slowly, looking at the displeased expression on Helian Nan’s face.

Helian Nan and his father’s faces turned extremely grim; Helian Zheng hurriedly apologized, saying that Helian Nan was not avoiding responsibility but was genuinely concerned about preventing the Queen’s Party from causing trouble, which led to him falling into the trap.

Helian Nan glared at Ling Kong with intense hatred in his heart. This bastard was enjoying himself at his expense.

Unwilling, how was he inferior to this parachuted pretty boy? This incident had blown up too much, with consequences so dire he couldn’t bear. No, even if he had to die, he must drag that guy down with him.

But how to involve this bastard Ling Kong?

Ah... Helian Nan suddenly recalled that a subordinate had once reported some matters to him, and his eyes immediately lit up with a malicious gleam.

He immediately prostrated himself on the ground in a noble and righteous manner, with a sincere tone and loud voice.

"Uncle, I am not trying to evade responsibility. I know this incident was entirely my fault. I will single-handedly assume responsibility and hold a press conference to explain to the misled citizens that today’s actions were mine alone, not Uncle’s command. I will take on all blame and will ensure Uncle and the Helian Family do not bear even a sliver of criticism! By then, Uncle can have the Queen’s Party hand me over to the judicial department for trial, and I will have no complaints."
