Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 296: 296: You girl, deserve it!

Suddenly, Gu Tong showed a bit of hope on her face, even taking on a pleading posture, saying, ”Uncle Feng, help... your beloved goddaughter is about to get beaten...”

She wasn’t asking anyone else for help but Feng Yi, her father’s deputy general. Because of their special comrade relationship and close bond, Feng Yi became her godfather the moment she was born.

All these years, every time she was about to get a beating, Uncle Feng was her big umbrella, shielding her from the storm, without complaint or regret.

But now...

Feng Yi: ”...” You deserved it, girl!

Feng Yi looked on, completely standing by without any intention of intervening.

What the hell, this can’t be...

Gu Tong lamented to herself.

Her gaze shifted back to the crowd and landed on Xue Zhengyi, saying, ”Elder Xue, I’m a trainee at the Medical Center... I went there on a Royal Doctor’s quota... you have to save me...”

It would have been better not to mention it. Talking about it only made Xue Zhengping angry. Those precious talents from the Medical Center nearly lost their lives on the battlefield.

Old Xue was pained...

Taking a couple of hits wouldn’t kill her. It would surely be better than Old Xue being scared into a heart attack.

Damn, this road is blocked too...

For the first time, Gu Tong realized how bad her connections were; nobody was willing to help her, and she was on the verge of tears.

Watching as her father’s shoe sole was about to come down, Gu Tong took another sprint and finally placed her hopes on Li Yan, saying, ”Honey... if you don’t intervene, I’m going to be sent back to be remade by Dad...”

After these words were spoken, everyone present was surprised, especially Gu Tiancheng, who was chasing behind, along with Feng Yi.

They always thought the couple didn’t have a good relationship and that Gu Tong despised Li Yan. Who would’ve thought a turn of events occurred.

Li Yan could never refuse the small woman’s demands, and besides, he had already been looking for a chance to intervene and rescue her from dire straits.

Thinking about it, he stepped forward and said, ”Gu Wangjue! This time Gu Tong performed really well. Without her, we wouldn’t have returned safely. I hope you can forgive her mistake this time!”

How his daughter behaved was something Gu Tiancheng surely knew well. He gave his son-in-law a glance and said, ”Li Yan, don’t try to persuade me, I know full well what my daughter is like!”

If she wasn’t causing trouble, it was already a relief. What merit could she have? Li Yan, eager to save his wife, would say anything.

Though he wished for a harmonious relationship between the couple, he didn’t want Li Yan to lie because of this, after all, Li Yan was Gu Wangjue’s most valued trainee!

”Gu Wangjue, I’m speaking the truth! Everyone present can testify!”

Li Yan understood Gu Tiancheng’s mindset, knowing that impressions are not easy to change. It took a lot of effort for him to accept this fact.

”Yes, yes, yes, I can testify...” Zhao Yong stepped forward.

”I can also testify, Madam indeed saved us, she even tricked the bandits into leaving the mountain themselves...” said a certain deputy, following closely.

”Me too... at the time, the situation was dire, Zhou Li and I, it was all thanks to Miss Gu Tong and the Devil King that we were rescued...” Huang Shou was not to be outdone.

And finally, there was Lu Lijun, whose most crucial role was to explain the cause and effect of the whole matter.

Because of the testimonies from three people, the expression of the Academy Courtyard’s senior leadership was utterly astounded. They obviously needed a reasonable explanation...
