Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 400: 400: No matter how careful one is, there’s always a slip-up.

A flicker of an unknown emotion passed through Li Yan’s dark eyes, and he said in a deep voice――

”This matter, I will...”

The mini phone suddenly emitted static, there was even a buzzing sound!

Gu Tong could barely hear, her ear was almost inside the receiver, yet she still couldn’t make out the full sentence.

She frowned, pulled the phone away from her ear, and held it in front of her! She glanced at the phone screen and nearly let out a curse!

At the critical moment, it actually ran out of power――

Gu Tong felt completely off, if it weren’t for the need to continue using the phone for communication, she would have smashed it on the spot!

This is the problem with mini phones; while they are easy to hide and carry, there are certain issues, namely, the power supply!

Within a short span of time, being able to change the signal source, research small chips, and modify the mini phone was already quite challenging.

Because of this, how could she have taken the time to worry about battery issues!

Gu Tong held her forehead! Truly, even a hundred plans will have one oversight...

After considering, she resignedly picked up her high heels, and placed the mini phone back just as it was, hiding it in the original manner.

The phone was her only means of contact with the outside world! She had to hide it well; there could be absolutely no mishap.

However, under these circumstances, the power supply was indeed a problem! Gu Tong frowned.

Xinyuan was a top-tier luxury residence, luxuriously furnished with everything one could ask for, and when Gu Tong was exploring earlier, she had not overlooked checking the power source in the room.

However, power sources are not something that can be checked, and Gu Tong wasn’t certain if the power in her room connected to the main console’s communication system. If there was an issue, her identity would be completely exposed.

Forget it! I’ll look for an opportunity to deal with it later.

Gu Tong was never someone to act rashly, everything had to be planned step by step.

Even though she missed Li Yan immensely, she had to suppress her inner impulse, enduring it and turning it into a driving force for the next execution of her mission.

This habit was left from her past life; back then, Li Yan was the sole reason for Gu Tong to forge ahead, always progressing courageously, undaunted and never retreating!

...

The night descended on time.

Darkness shrouded Xinyuan’s sky, and scattered stars reflected in the firmament, creating a sense of beauty.

Unfamiliar with Xinyuan’s environment, Gu Tong took advantage of the night to run onto the room’s balcony to observe, she leaned over the railing, looking down at the scenery below, constantly calculating Xinyuan’s route map in her mind.

Entering a strange place, understanding its map first can also be considered a self-rescue method!

Gu Tong scanned around, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

A peculiar feeling gradually arose!

Xinyuan was indeed a strange place, all the paths seemed problematic! Moreover, every intersection had to pass through the zones with the strictest guards.

The defense here was almost to an abnormal degree, truly not even a mosquito could fly in...

Discovering this situation, apart from feeling a headache, Gu Tong didn’t know what to say; she rubbed her temples, feeling a turmoil of annoyance, and as her eyes took one last sweep of Xinyuan, she prepared to give up the observation.

Her gaze swept to the gazebo, just as she was about to move her eyes away, something caught her attention, and she widened her eyes――
