Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The train was a bit bumpy, and when my feet touched the ground, it felt tingly.

An hour later, Li Yan changed into leather boots and headed towards the outside corridor.

According to the original plan, at this time, he should have been wandering around the corridor, while also handling the trouble Gu Tong created for him.

Thinking back carefully, when Gu Tong returned to the car earlier, she didn’t explain the reasons and consequences behind creating the trouble.

At this point, Li Yan already knew where to go.

Since boarding the train, other than small talk about family matters, there was hardly any conversation. If there was any chat at all, it was about that issue with Pi Zi.

Recalling Pi Zi’s identity, he was indeed one who easily caused trouble. After thinking it over, Li Yan stood at the door of Pi Zi’s compartment, fiddling with his phone in a bored manner, pretending to casually reply to a message.

Li Yan stood at the edge of the compartment, not getting in anyone’s way. However, the phone in his hand, being a rare item, drew quite a bit of attention from others.

...

”Brother Pi Zi, don’t keep it from us, is that Cheng’er the new girl you’ve taken a fancy to? You’re not letting her take any jobs and even took her to Shoucheng to have fun. We’re all so jealous.”

The woman said this and snuggled into Pi Zi’s arms, looking indulgent and carefree.

Pi Zi casually embraced her and laughed, ”That girl serves well. If you served well, I’d keep you around too and not let you take any jobs.”

”Oh, Brother Pi Zi, don’t tease me, I don’t have such good fortune.” The woman flirted back with a glance, secretly thinking to herself that being favored by Pi Zi wasn’t such a good thing. It meant fewer jobs and less money earned.

...

Pi Zi’s compartment was indeed lively, with a bunch of men and women laughing and joking non-stop, all with foul language.

If it weren’t for Li Yan being focused on completing his task, he wouldn’t have been able to stand it.

Li Yan frowned, feeling annoyed and restless.

He casually sent a message to Gu Tong, as if only she could bring him peace.

’Ding--’

The message hadn’t been sent yet, when one came in first.

It was a message from Gu Tong.

’The position is correct, the fish will soon take the bait, just hold on a little longer.’

A short line of text appeared on his phone.

Li Yan’s original irritation dissipated instantly.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, yet he understood the little woman’s thoughts, in some way, she knew him better than he did himself.

”Can you help me...”

A woman’s faint voice echoed in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan opened his eyes, and a pink dress was the first thing he saw. As he gradually lifted his head, he saw a woman with disheveled hair.

The woman bit her lip, tears welling up, and pointed to Pi Zi’s compartment, saying, ”I want to leave... I’m afraid of him... can you...”

If she remembered correctly, the woman had run into Li Yan when Pi Zi slapped her. At that time, he seemed like he wanted to stand up for her.

At this point, the woman sobbed and was already beyond words.

Being a woman from the red-light district, she knew how to evoke men’s protective instincts, and she did just that. Facing someone like Li Yan, a wealthy young master, this was the best approach.

They had the money and weren’t afraid of trouble, and encountering a delicate girl, they certainly couldn’t resist.

Her clever scheme was loud and clear, counting on Li Yan’s sense of justice!

If Li Yan didn’t know, he might have felt compassion, but as fate would have it, he already knew. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at the woman’s hypocrisy and greed. How pathetic, abandoning all principles for money, harming not just others but herself too—can such a person be considered human?

As expected, ruthless women in this world aren’t just people like Qiu Xue; many beautiful shells hide vicious and cruel hearts!
