My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2084 - 2083: Sit Back and Watch the Show

This way, the timeline for unifying the entire country is indefinitely extended. We need to find a way to launch a full-scale attack, dealing a major blow to the Queen’s forces, and recapture the critically strategic port in the southwest. Using this as a breakthrough point, we will gradually encroach on the opponent’s battle lines, before launching a sweeping assault.

Of course, while the idea is ideal, whether it can actually succeed is uncertain. Success depends not only on strategy, but also on timing, luck, and the capability of the commanding leader.

He decided to entrust this crucial mission to Ling Kong. He has always admired the capabilities of this young man and hopes that Ling Kong can bring him a pleasant surprise!

"I won’t let you down!" Halian Ling Kong spoke with confidence and determination. After discussing some important matters with the Helian Family, he took the order documents to convene a high-ranking officers meeting to plan the specifics of the assault operation!

Helian Zheng and his son also received assignments from Halian Jing. What left Helian Nan dissatisfied was that such a pivotal assault operation would be commanded by Halian Ling Kong, while he and his father were merely arranged with urban security defense tasks.

As the two walked out of the office, Helian Nan couldn’t help but feel indignant.

"I really don’t understand how Uncle has such trust in that kid, even giving him such an important, high-achieving task that could bring great merits if successful. I thought that after we have secretly and painstakingly investigated for so long and managed through various channels and connections to uncover so much evidence that could make Uncle suspect him. Could it be that all this effort was wasted again? It’s infuriating, that lucky brat."

Compared to his son’s impatience, Helian Zheng had a meaningful smile.

"Why are you anxious? Just because your uncle has given him a crucial task, you assume he trusts that kid completely? Thinking like that is too naive. He only trusts the kid’s ability to handle this matter. Frankly speaking, that kid indeed possesses rare military prowess. But this doesn’t mean the evidence we gathered has no effect on your uncle. A person who cannot be fully controlled is a person who cannot be fully trusted. Even if your uncle trusts that kid, with the tangled relationship between Jun Yiyi and that kid, maintaining the same level of trust would be truly unusual."

Helian Nan seemed to understand partially.

Helian Zheng chuckled, "Haha, just wait and see. With your uncle’s and that kid’s stubborn nature, cracks are bound to appear sooner or later; we’re merely accelerating the process!"

Meanwhile, Halian Jing, sitting at the desk, put down the documents in his hand and picked up the report previously submitted by Helian Zheng and his son.

This report was detailed, containing various pieces of evidence about Ling Kong and that adopted daughter of Governor Yun, suggesting an ambiguous, romantic relationship.

While he didn’t want to interfere with who Ling Kong chooses to date, the girl’s particular status meant she shouldn’t and couldn’t be the one.

What made him frown even more was Ling Kong’s series of actions in favor of this girl that were hard to accept.

The report listed various events that were extremely displeasing. On the day of the campus bloodshed, it was said this girl shot and killed soldiers, fled within the campus, and yet, in the end, was secretly let go by Ling Kong who even erased her records from that day’s campus report.

If Ling Kong hadn’t done this, this girl might have been shot at the time. Even if not, she would have had to face detention, not enjoying the current freedom she has.

Also, any family members of remaining enemy supporters in the city should all undergo interrogation by the intelligence agency, but Ling Kong intervened in this interrogation.
