Jiang Ling suddenly looked up and widened her eyes, but Su Shunhe gently put his fan to his lips and smiled faintly at Jiang Ling.
This ambiguous scene was witnessed by Magistrate Duan, who had just changed his clothes. His gaze was tinged with sadness. He wanted to say something to Jiang Ling, but seeing Jiang Ling and the Third Prince leave the yamen one after the other, he sighed helplessly and returned to his room dejectedly.
"Mr. Su, what did you mean by what you just said?"
The two arrived at a secluded alley, and Jiang Ling, trying to appear calm, asked.
"My meaning is very clear: I don't like dealing with stupid people. Boss Jiang, you are the smartest woman I have ever met. You can't possibly not understand what I'm asking, can you?" At this moment, Su Shunhe had lost her previous calm demeanor, replaced by extreme seriousness.
Jiang Ling bit her lip, looking somewhat troubled. She didn't know how to answer Su Shunhe. If Su Shunhe could ask such a question, it absolutely proved that he knew something. Moreover, the other party was the Third Prince, and she was like an ant in front of him.
But then she thought again and realized that she had promised the white-haired woman not to reveal Nianci's background.
A conflict raged within Jiang Ling's mind. After a long while, she smiled faintly and said to Su Shunhe, "Mr. Su, asking a woman such a question is incredibly disrespectful to her!"
"If Nianci wasn't born of me, then who was? Did he spring from a crack in a rock?"
Su Shunhe's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He stroked his chin and looked at Jiang Ling with a profound look in his eyes. "Boss Jiang, are you pretending not to understand what's going on?"
Jiang Ling smiled and shook her head: "No, no, you are the dignified Third Prince, and I am just a lowly lady. Even if you gave me the courage, I would not dare to be disrespectful in front of you!"
Upon hearing this, Su Shunhe gave a cold laugh. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Ling's throat, the intense feeling of suffocation plunging Jiang Ling into endless fear.
She instinctively began to struggle, like a fish out of water.
With a loosening of his grip, fresh air rushed into Jiang Ling's throat. She greedily inhaled the air, and the violent coughing made her face flush red.
"Cough...cough...Mr. Su, you've gone too far!" Jiang Ling's eyebrows shot up as she glared angrily at Su Shunhe.
At this moment, she had already quickly bought a bottle of pepper spray in the mall. If Su Shunhe had any ill intentions towards her, Jiang Ling would definitely spray the pepper spray in Su Shunhe's face without hesitation.
"Boss Jiang is indeed extraordinary!" Su Shunhe blurted out for no apparent reason.
Jiang Ling gave a cold smile and said to Su Shunhe, "No need for praise, Mr. Su. If there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer! I still have a lot to do at home, farewell!"
After saying that, he turned around with a cold face and prepared to leave.
"Don't leave!" Su Shunhe roared, his figure flashing in front of Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling felt that Su Shunhe was like a wild beast, exuding a terrifying aura. She subconsciously stepped back, only to find herself leaning against a cold wall, which meant that there was nowhere left to retreat behind her!
“Mr. Su, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Jiang Ling’s tone was tentative.
Su Shunhe said to Jiang Ling with a half-smile, "I've said it before, you're a smart person! There are some things I don't need to make too obvious!"
Jiang Ling looked at Su Shunhe and sighed helplessly, saying, "The child is innocent, Mr. Su, why are you still bothering him?"
Although Jiang Ling's words were cryptic, Su Shunhe understood their meaning.
He frowned, scrutinizing Jiang Ling intently for a long time before asking, "Is it really true?"
Jiang Ling nodded without speaking. At this moment, she felt a sense of guilt. She had promised the white-haired woman to keep the secret, but she was forced to tell it anyway.
Su Shunhe looked at Jiang Ling with a complicated expression, and the atmosphere gradually became quiet and eerie.
Jiang Ling, despite her displeasure, could only silently endure Su Shunhe's skill.
"Does she have a small black mole the size of a grain of rice at the corner of her eye?" After a long silence, Su Shunhe suddenly broke the silence and asked.
The sudden question caught Jiang Ling off guard. She frowned and asked in return, "Who?"
"Does that child's mother have a small black mole the size of a grain of rice near the corner of her eye?" Su Shunhe frowned and repeated.
Memories flooded into Jiang Ling's mind like a burst dam, and the face of the white-haired woman gradually appeared in her mind.
"A mole... a mole... a mole!" Jiang Ling murmured with her eyes closed.
She suddenly opened her eyes and nodded subconsciously to Su Shunhe, saying, "Yes! There is indeed a black mole at the corner of my eye!"
Su Shunhe suddenly bowed to Jiang Ling, changing his previous attitude, and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you before. Thank you for taking Nianci in!"
Jiang Ling frowned as she looked at Su Shunhe. Faced with his sudden change, Jiang Ling was still unable to adapt for a while. She looked at Su Shunhe warily. At this moment, Jiang Ling even wondered if Su Shunhe had some kind of mental illness, being so unpredictable!
Although Jiang Ling was becoming increasingly curious about Nianci's identity, she knew that curiosity killed the cat. For a prince to be so capricious, Nianci's identity must be extraordinary, at least his mother's identity was extraordinary!
"Mr. Su, may I leave now?" Now that the matter has been exposed, Jiang Ling did not want to get too close to this crazy guy, lest he turn around and strangle her again and send her to her death.
Su Shunhe shook his head and continued to press, "Where is she?"
Seeing Su Shunhe's almost excessive and obsessive gaze, Jiang Ling told Su Shunhe about meeting the white-haired woman word for word.
