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 tightly holding Aqing's sleeve.

If I pull the cloth even slightly, my whole body will tremble uncontrollably.

In this regard, Ah Qing could only sit down beside the bed helplessly, "It seems that I can only disturb the prince and princess for a while. When Miss Dong wakes up, I will leave on my own."

"There's no rush."

They are now staying in Dong Ling'er's boudoir. As one of the two older girls 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 also some account books that Dong Ling'er brought back on the table, emitting a 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 led people to chase after 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 for a while, the prince has something to ask you, maybe we can find the person behind it from some clues."

Ah Qing had no objection to this. The guard who had asked him about this was just in a coma due to excessive blood loss. He had woken up 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 his best to help."

Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes, "Thank you, sir."

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Dong Ling'er's not-so-restful sleeping face again. She couldn't really tell what she felt in her heart, but it was for sure that she felt uncomfortable.

But what is more is resentment 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 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 clearly 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 lost their reputation, but also lost the courage to live, just because they knew this.

Those evil people know this, so they take advantage of it again and again and easily destroy a woman.

This is how Lin Chunuan treated her in the previous life, and this is how these people treat Dong Ling'er now.

Nothing new, vicious and disgusting!

Aqing was the 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 the answer." Xiao Cen sighed. "It's not that the leader is so stubborn. I recognize this group of people. They are an organization that specializes in murder and robbery. The leader fell into my hands once a few years ago."

"If it weren't for that special situation, his head would have been gone long ago!"

Xiao Cen sighed, "This group of people only do business through single-line contacts. The upper party will pass the requirements and portraits together with the deposit to the leader, and they just do it. They don't even know who issued the task."

"This group of people has a clear division of labor. Those who provide cover, those who do the work, and those who clean up the mess are not the same group of people. The ones we caught are the last batch of deliverymen. The rest..."

At this point, Lin Chunhuan roughly understood that the other people had already hidden among the ordinary people. If he persisted in catching them, he would be able to 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 should be Miss Dong. And the person behind the scenes wanted her not to die. He 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 she couldn't die and cause a counterattack from the palace. It meant that all ten fingers had to be destroyed. If the person could be made mentally unfocused while still being guaranteed to be alive, extra money would be paid. If they didn't rescue her in time today.

Then Dong Ling'er would be sent to a place thousands of miles away and become a black market slave with a special fetish...

As she read on, 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."

"Ok?"

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, maybe even have some power.

After all, not everyone can afford to hire this group of people. The amount they offer is so high that even an ordinary businessman may not be able to afford it even if they add up all their assets.

But now the person hasn't woken up yet, has Ah Huan already guessed it?

Just as Xiao Cen was about to ask more, Lin Chunhuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not sure yet. If I rashly tell you 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 stroke her back gently, "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 her mind.

The reason why 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.
