Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: We Willingly Accept It

The faintest hint of a scent wafted into Gu Tong’s nose, and in that instant, she felt dizzy, the world spinning around her, as if the bronze statue before her was truly swaying.

The statue can move...

So that’s what it means...

Gu Tong knelt on one knee, supporting herself with one hand on the ground, suddenly recalling something, and said, ”Behind the red gauze curtain, beware of the Mist Smoke!”

Be it the Life Gate or the Death Gate, under the same layout, the difference is not significant.

All it does is use the drug-infused Mist Smoke to induce hallucinations; whether one survives or perishes depends on the challenger’s own choices.

This is the test of inner demons!

”Oh, okay...” From the other end of the phone, Xia Xi’s forced voice came through, enough to show she too was suffering under the Mist Smoke’s threat.

Certainly, there’s suspicion of hallucinations already.

’Crack--’

Gu Tong’s phone slipped from her hand, hitting the ground as she drifted between dream and reality.

...

”Get away! Remove your filthy hands, don’t touch my husband!” Gu Tong’s body trembled, bracing Li Yan, who was about to collapse over her shoulders as she stood on the rooftop, shouting furiously, ”You cursed lot will die a horrible death; you are all unforgivable sinners, sinners...”

On the other side of the rooftop, a dense crowd pressed closely, not leaving an inch of space, the leader’s lips moving, incomprehensible words emerging.

Gu Tong shivered, stepping back, and said, ”So this is your reason for betrayal... To steal the national treasure, have you all extinguished your conscience?”

Conscience?

The people across shivered, laughing wildly.

What is conscience! Compared to wealth that can rival nations, it’s utterly worthless.

Gu Tong’s lips quivered, saying, ”We shed blood and flesh to guard a bunch of scoundrels, and now thinking about it, truly laughable! Hehehe, aren’t you all after money, after the national treasure! Fine then, I’ll fulfill your wish...

Everything you desire is in my hands, but with a mere snap, they’ll turn into ashes, I will destroy everything you’ve dreamt of, all your pursuits over the years shall be in vain!”

...

”Ah!”

What is this...

Never-before-seen memories suddenly flooded Gu Tong’s mind, forcibly seizing control.

...

In front of the heroic memorial, blood stained the entire grave marker.

Palm prints alternated on the black-gray granite.

Gu Tong struggled to crawl forward, her body blocking the grave marker, her blood-drenched hands constantly caressing the photo on the monument.

The gallant Devil King, stern-faced, appearing solemn, performed a standard military salute, adding a touch of military prestige.

”We were friends, and before death, I traveled afar to reunite you and Mr. Li, which is my greatest mercy, Mrs. Li, are you happy?”

Streetlights cast shadows behind Gu Tong, a tall woman dressed in black, draped in a veil, strolled elegantly on high heels.

In her hand, she held a loaded silver ladies’ laser, licking her lips, and laughed, ”I’m quite puzzled, actually, why Mrs. Li is so persistent, isn’t collaboration better with us? Hehe, rather than join us, you opted to blow up Mr. Li with your own hands, truly a ruthless woman!”

Gu Tong ignored her words, her fingers pausing on Li Yan’s face, pursing her lips and said, ”This was his wish, even if we are separated forever, we embrace it gladly!”
