Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1188: Wait a Minute

Gu Tong, with her big belly, started to sway a little. She squinted slightly, pretending to be in extreme pain, and tightly grasped Xia Xi’s wrist, saying, ”Honey, I, I can’t anymore, I’m about to give birth...”

Xia Xi ’anxiously’ began to sweat. She supported Gu Tong’s body strongly, saying, ”Everyone move aside! We need to go to the hospital, I must take my wife to the hospital...”

She charged forward, forcibly breaking through two intersections, almost reaching the train exit point.

...

The man with the crew cut frowned and said, ”Wait a minute!”

His eyes were filled with some doubt, clearly his suspicion had been aroused.

He hadn’t forgotten just how troublesome his adversary was, adept at escape and always employing unusual tactics—disguising as a pregnant woman wasn’t an uncommon ploy.

The old lady nearby gave the crew-cut man a shove and said, ”What are you waiting for! Giving birth can’t wait, she’s a pregnant woman, not your sister-in-law, why are you blocking her way!”

The crew-cut man’s frown deepened!

The issue was that he wasn’t looking for a sister-in-law, but for a deceitful, cunning woman named Xia Xi.

The higher-ups had instructed him to be extremely cautious with Xia Xi, absolutely not to give her any chance to escape, and not to overlook any suspicious individuals.

Precisely for this reason, the crew-cut man was so on guard, not giving anyone a chance to disguise.

If it truly were Xia Xi, that insidious, crafty woman, stuffing clothes into her belly and running out to mislead people would be something she could definitely do.

The crew-cut man knew this well, so his suspicion grew even stronger.

For some reason, when facing such concealed matters, he always categorized them as Xia Xi’s doing.

Thinking of this, the crew-cut man didn’t hesitate, saying, ”My sister-in-law always comes up with strange tricks—previously, she pretended to be pregnant to avoid my brother, so I’m also a bit uncertain...”

Pretending to be pregnant?

Do young people nowadays go to such extremes!

The old lady frowned and stopped talking; after all, it was someone else’s family issue.

Initially, she scolded the crew-cut man because she couldn’t stand it, but if she got too involved, it would easily make things complicated.

Out in the world, nobody wants to attract trouble, and if others think they are in cahoots, it would be troublesome...

The wise old lady couldn’t ponder it further, so she stepped back and stopped speaking.

Not just her, many people inside the train carriage did the same.

At times like these, they all chose a ”mind-your-own-business” attitude.

Everyone seemed to let the crew-cut man search as he wished, but it was inevitable as he brought along many people, and besides, he was searching for his sister-in-law.

If a fight broke out on the train, it would clearly be more frightening than rewarding...

The crew-cut man went with the flow, ensured no one blocked his way, and without further ado, broke through the crowd and headed straight for Xia Xi and Gu Tong.

...

He’s almost here...

So close, slipping away in a blink.

Gu Tong decisively squeezed the blood bag hidden at the base of her spine, saying, ”Hiss, it hurts...”

Only at the critical moment, under dire circumstances!

Gu Tong wouldn’t use this tactic otherwise!

She completely portrayed the image of a pregnant woman about to give birth, to perfection...

As for the blood bag, it was naturally prepared earlier by Xia Xi, precisely to make the act more convincing.

”Blood, blood...” Xia Xi exclaimed in surprise, almost bursting into tears, saying, ”Ma’am, are you alright...”
