When the group returned to the palace, Dong Ling'er had already fallen asleep, but for her, being able to sleep now was definitely a good thing. If there was anything bad, it was that she was holding Aqing's sleeve tightly.
If I pull the cloth even slightly, my whole body will tremble uncontrollably.
In response to this, A Qing could only sit down beside the bed helplessly, "It seems that I can only disturb the prince and princess here for a while. When Miss Dong wakes up, I will leave on my own."
“No rush.”
They are now staying in Dong Ling'er's boudoir. As one of the two older maids around Lin Chunhuan, Dong Ling'er has her own room. Although it is not elegant and luxurious, it has everything and is a place where people can feel at ease.
There were some account books brought back by Dong Ling'er on the table, emitting the scent of ink.
Lin Chunhuan suppressed his emotions and forced a smile, "Thank you for this time, sir. If you hadn't asked your subordinates to leave marks along the way and if you hadn't led people to chase them to buy some time, Ling'er..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath. "I won't beat around the bush with you. Please stay a little longer, my lord. The prince has something to ask you. Perhaps we can find the person behind this from some clues."
Ah Qing had no objection to this. The guard who had questioned him was only temporarily unconscious from excessive blood loss and had now regained consciousness and was being placed in a nearby clinic to recuperate. Ah Qing nodded and said, "Those people are completely heartless. If I can help Prince Pingyang catch the person behind this, Ah Qing will do my best to help."
Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes, "Thank you, sir."
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Dong Ling'er's not-so-restful sleeping face again. She couldn't quite tell what she felt in her heart, but it was definitely uncomfortable.
But what is more is indignation and disgust.
She was really fed up with those people's behavior. Could it be that apart from destroying a woman's innocence, they couldn't think of any other ways to do evil?
Even if he was killed with one blow?!
Even if they use some cruel torture instruments? !
Can't we treat them the same way we torture men?
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath. She knew in her heart that, after all, it was because in this world, people attached too much importance to a woman's reputation. In some ways, it was even more important than her life.
Not to mention others, even many girls themselves, not only lose their reputation, but also lose the courage to live, because they know this.
Those evil people know this, so they take advantage of it again and again and easily destroy a woman.
This is how Lin Chu Nuan treated her in her previous life, and this is how these people treat Dong Ling'er now.
Nothing original, vicious and disgusting!
Aqing was a doctor, and Qiu Shuang was accompanying him inside. Seeing that Dong Ling'er showed no signs of waking up for a while, Lin Chunhuan quietly left the house and stood in the corridor, breathing in the outside air.
I happened to meet Xiao Cen who was looking for someone.
Xiao Cen glanced into the room with a questioning look in his eyes.
Knowing that he wanted to ask if Dong Ling'er had woken up, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and shook her head, "Did the prince find out anything?"
"I can't get any information from him." Xiao Cen sighed. "It's not that the leader is so stubborn. I recognize this group of people. They are an organization in the underworld that specializes in murder and robbery. I once caught this leader a few years ago."
"If it weren't for that special situation, his head would have been gone long ago!"
Xiao Cen sighed deeply, "This group of people only do business through a single line of communication. The upper party will pass the requirements, portraits, and deposit to the leader, and they just do it without knowing who issued the task."
"This group has a clear division of labor. Those who provide cover, those who carry out the work, and those who clean up the mess are all different people. We caught the last batch of delivery people. The rest..."
At this point, Lin Chunhuan roughly understood that the other people had already hidden among the ordinary people. If he was determined to catch them, he could catch a few more.
But it is impossible to catch them all.
Besides, even if they were all caught, it would be useless. The person who issued the task was not found. Without this organization, the people behind it could find someone else, and we would never be safe.
"Ah Huan, we may have guessed wrong this time. That group of people didn't come for the palace. Their target must be Miss Dong. And the person behind it wanted her not to die. They must know the relationship between Miss Dong and you."
As Xiao Cen spoke, a piece of paper was placed in Lin Chunhuan's palm.
There was a lot of information on the note, including the places where Dong Ling'er often appeared and the timeline of her actions outside.
The requirements were very clear. Dong Ling'er's body had to be completely destroyed, but her death could not cause a counterattack from the palace. This meant that all ten fingers had to be destroyed. If the person could be made unconscious while still being alive, extra money would be paid. If they did not rescue her in time today,
Then Dong Ling'er would be sent thousands of miles away to become a slave with a special fetish on the black market...
As she read, Lin Chunhuan felt nauseous again. She threw the note in her hand to her feet like it was some dirty thing. "I guess who it is."
"Um?"
Xiao Cen frowned.
He spent so much time and effort but didn't find any clues. He also wanted to wait for Dong Ling'er to come and ask her if she had any enemies.
Especially those who are very rich, and maybe have some power.
After all, not everyone can afford to hire this group of people. The amount they offer is not something that ordinary people, even ordinary businessmen may not be able to afford even if they add up all their assets.
But now the person hasn't woken up yet, and Ah Huan has already guessed it?
Just as Xiao Cen was about to ask further, Lin Chunhuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not sure yet. If I say it rashly before I'm sure, it might affect your judgment."
"Xiao Lang, don't ask yet. Give me some time."
This sentence blocked Xiao Cen's doubts in his heart, but facing Lin Chunhuan, he couldn't say no at all. He could only nod and gently stroke her back, "Okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Miss Winter is different from others. She can get through this."
Lin Chunhuan didn't say much about Xiao Cen's words. She just smiled and told him to go and see his son, and she would stay here to look after him.
As soon as Xiao Cen left, Lin Chunhuan's face immediately turned cold.
When Xiao Cen said that the group of people were coming for Dong Ling'er, she already had some plans in mind.
The reason she was able to bring Dong Ling'er to her side so early was because she was impressed by her unparalleled business ability in her previous life, making her the richest female businessman in Beijing.
