Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 845: Chapter 844: Just Being a Salted Fish

”Ancestor... you’ve calmed down...” Yan Lishan hesitated for a moment before finally asking those few words.

He wasn’t a fool; he could detect Gu Tong’s inner changes, and he could also understand that her previous agitation stemmed from something.

”I’ve always been calm~” Gu Tong’s lips bore a smile that betrayed her true feelings.

Yan Lishan: ”...” Only a ghost would believe you...

”Why not try another round~” Gu Tong saw the distrust in his eyes and casually teased him.

”Cough cough... It seems your emotions have improved a lot, no problem, no problem...”

Yan Lishan wished he could quickly send this emotionally unstable lady back to the War Department to avoid causing havoc when her emotions fluctuated again.

With this thought, he briskly quickened his pace and headed directly towards the War Department, eager to return.

Gu Tong glanced at Yan Lishan, her smile widening.

The Academy was a place she disliked in her past life because it was here that she lost her family. However, reincarnated anew, everything began again, and she was surprised that she still couldn’t avoid the fate of being tied to the Academy.

This feeling wasn’t too bad.

Her mind became much more at ease, making her whole demeanor relaxed, and she soon walked in Yan Lishan’s direction.

...

It was already around five in the afternoon.

The War Department was still hectic; people were searching for data, investigating relationships, deploying routes, arranging battles — all sorts of activities, dizzying to the eyes.

Gu Tong leaned idly against a table, watching the trainees struggle. As the head of the Royal Doctor, her current job was simply to be a spectator, observing them complete various tasks.

”Yinya is slippery like an eel, cunning and devious. If it weren’t for an extremely urgent situation, he’d never voluntarily come to Shoucheng; his methods of evading pursuit are advanced, his anti-reconnaissance skills are formidable, and all the information left behind is fake.”

Qiao Chenyi’s team had been tailing Yinya for half a day, and by now, this was the result. He handed a thick stack of reports to Li Yan, adopting a negotiating demeanor, and said: ”Moreover, this isn’t the scariest part!”

”The most terrifying thing is that Yinya, besides bringing along Rulazi and Huang Mengren, carried numerous other people to conceal and disguise his identity. Now these people are so mixed that we couldn’t figure out who the real Yinya is, let alone Rulazi or Huang Mengren, making capture difficult once more.”

’Yinya’ and his gang have been in hiding for years, employing layer upon layer of evasive tactics. To eliminate them completely, we must uproot them, and we must catch them first, which adds even more difficulty.

Qiao Chenyi’s team is strong, yet even so, they’re unable to grasp their exact information, which inevitably frustrates them.

Li Yan furrowed his brows, intensely focused on the stack of data, leaving nothing unexamined and said: ”What’s their objective!”

”The objective is unclear for the time being, and it’s impossible to draft a deployment plan right now!” Qiao Chenyi slammed a palm on the table, evidently displeased with this result.

Their time was short, tasks were heavy, and all indicators had to be completed in the most effective timeframe. Yet now, they couldn’t complete the initial deployment, rendering the rest theoretical for the trainees.

The atmosphere in the whole War Department was gloomy, plunged to rock bottom; everyone sank into deep thought.
