I Became the Demon King of Lust

Ling Yue then changed the topic as she said, "Alright, enough about me already. Let's hear about what you've been up to lately."

I was surprised to hear her say this, but then I said, "Let me think, where should I begin?"

Ling Yue shook her head with a faint smile when she heard this, "I'm sure that you've been up to many things. You were recruited by Elementia, was involved in that large incident with the demon king, and all kinds of other things, right?"

I couldn't help being even more surprised when I heard this.

I looked at her with a brow raised and slowly asked, "How do you know all this?"

Ling Yue said with a sly smile on her face, "Do you think that I haven't been keeping track of you during this time? I know everything that you've been doing."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

I just looked at Ling Yue with an unstable look, as if I was facing an enemy that I had never faced before.

Seeing me look at her like this, Ling Yue finally couldn't help bursting out in laughter as she said, "You should see the look on your face, you actually believed my bluff."

The corner of my eye couldn't help twitching when I heard this as I felt like I had just been played.

Ling Yue wiped a tear from her eye from laughing before saying, "You should know that the police receive reports on important issues, so we receive reports on the things that you've been involved in. I accidentally saw some of them, so I know a bit about what you've been up to."

Then her face turned sad as she said, "Big sister wanted to talk to you during this time, but I just couldn't with everything that was happening."

She looked up at me with puppy dog eyes and said, "You don't blame big sister because of this, right?"

I was surprised to see this, but I slowly shook my head as I said, "No, no, of course not. You were busy and that was indirectly because of me, so there really is nothing that I can say."

Ling Yue gave a sniffle before saying, "It's not your fault. You were the victim being bullied by those other kids, so how could you say that it's your fault?"

Then in a softer voice, she said, "I think that they actually got what they deserved, if that means anything to you."

It was a lie to say that I wasn't caught off guard by her saying this, but I shook my head and said, "Even if they did deserve it, they didn't deserve to die, right?"

Ling Yue's eyes softened and she gave a nod of agreement.

She didn't know what came over her, but thinking of how she felt when she read about all the things that Wang Bing's group had done to Lin Fan, she couldn't help feeling angry at them.

She took a deep breath to calm her emotions before saying, "But that doesn't matter now, right? You've worked hard and now you've obtained a position that many people would be envious of."

I just gave a soft nod when I heard this.

Though deep down, I couldn't help giving a bitter laugh.

Ling Yue then said with a smile, "Big sister will have to depend on you in the future with the rate that you're rising up."

I just said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you in the future."

Ling Yue's heart couldn't help skipping a beat at this.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but she felt that he was quite handsome when he said these words.

After that, the two of us just chatted for a bit longer before she left to go rest.

As she left, the light in her eyes had dimmed a bit…

I had made sure to put in my suggestions while we were chatting.

As I walked away from the cafe, I couldn't help thinking about something.

Xia Tian, the other detective who had been Ling Yue's partner before.

I knew that he wouldn't give up on this matter…

Wherever he had transferred, he most likely was looking for a way to strike at me from an unexpected angle. If I let him be, it would be a hidden danger in the future that could strike at any moment.

So I should really be thinking of a way to take care of him…

At the same time, I also thought about how to help Ling Yue.

Seeing her overwork herself like this, I knew that she wouldn't be of any help to me in the future.

With the way that she was currently going, she might even work herself into the grave at this rate.

So if I could find a way to help her, then I should help her.

The ones that should have forced her into this situation were most likely related to this case somehow. If I had to guess, it was most likely Wang Bing's parents.

Wang Bing had said that his dad was in a high position in the Awakener Association, that was not a position that could be taken lightly.

If someone like that wanted to interfere with the police, especially with a single detective, it should be easy for him to take care of Ling Yue.

Since this was something that was related to the Awakener Association, that meant that I should have a say in this matter.

It wouldn't have been the case in the past, but now I was someone with connections.

Though those connections had come to me on their own to become my friend.

If I wanted to help Ling Yue, I should contact Eliott and see if he could do anything about this.

I'm sure that with our relationship, he would help me with this matter.

After all, he seemed like he really wanted to become closer to me.
