Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

So―――

The search, in fact, went quite smoothly for them! As long as they meticulously checked every spot they stood on, they’d uncover whatever issues lay hidden.

However, as all the officers searched round after round, the so-called surveillance devices remained elusive... everyone came up empty-handed.

Qi Difei furrowed his brows, once again aware of the gravity of the situation. He hurriedly strode over to Gu Tong, beads of sweat lined his forehead, and said, ”Sis...”

He shook his head, but left the words unsaid, the implication clear enough.

Gu Tong frowned, raised her hand to take the wine in front of her, and said, ”Dafei, we’ve known each other for years, and there are four words weighing on my mind for a long time! Now’s the time to say it.”

Having said that, she gestured with her fingers for Qi Difei to lean in closer.

Qi Difei was slightly taken aback, but bent over obediently.

Then he felt Gu Tong breathe a gust of Immortal Aura into his ear, saying, ”Just kidding!!!”

Just kidding???

What the heck...

Oh my gosh...

Inside Qi Difei’s mind raced a thousand alpacas, his whole face turned black, and he glared in fury, saying, ”Gu Tong!! You jerk!!!”

Deceiving him at this moment, doesn’t she have any humanity...

Qi Difei was hopping mad, while Gu Tong was already laughing to the point of being out of breath.

Her bell-like laughter echoed throughout the entire warehouse―――

Making all the tense special forces gradually realize what had happened, allowing them to relax mentally...

Qi Difei was set off, like a fighting rooster, yelling: ”Gu Tong!!! You freak!!! Nutcase!!! Joking around at a time like this!! Is it funny??? Damn you...”

The high tension had lasted way too long, Qi Difei was constantly wound up, not daring to relax for a second.

Finally able to relax, and then Gu Tong pulled this stunt...

If he said he wasn’t mad, that wouldn’t be true to his character...

Gu Tong was laughing so hard she was trembling, completely ignoring him!

Qi Difei, boiling with anger, directed his fury at Li Yan, saying: ”Devil King!! Can’t you do something!!! Handle your wife, will you!!!”

Referring to Gu Tong as his wife, while not inaccurate, somehow sounded off coming from Qi Difei.

Li Yan obviously wasn’t planning to help him, instead he glanced at the special forces members, saying: ”You guys are too tense, it’s time to relax.”

He was subtly defending Gu Tong, and giving reason for her prank.

I’ve seen shameless, but not this shameless!!!

Relax!!!

Qi Difei nearly coughed up blood, Gu Tong’s relaxed alright! She’s skirting the edge! To be joking at a moment like this, she’s practically the world’s number one oddball...

With this thought, dizziness threatened him as he flopped onto the sofa, saying: ”Damn you both! You two are crazy!! I’m done with you!!!”

Qi Difei kept reinforcing himself mentally, forcing himself to ignore these two nutcases!

And kept telling himself, they’re the lunatics, just ignore them, ignore them...

An unexpected joke, allowed all the special forces gradually to ease their tension, each sitting down on the ground, relieving their inner fears...

Even though they’re special forces, they still value their young lives; though fearless for the nation and the people, they don’t intend to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Gu Tong herself was once a trainee, naturally she understands what’s in their hearts, that’s why she came up with this joke, to boost morale, once she confirmed absolute safety.

You must know...

Dealing with drug lords! It’s no joke, as their temporary leader, she’s caring to these operatives...
