Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1237: So Close, Yet So Far

”No, no, I can’t...” Xia Xi bit her lip, her voice trembling, saying, ”I clearly know we are about to face danger, but I just can’t remember what exactly it is, it’s just a step away, just a little step away...”

Xia Xi stubbornly believed that if she tried a little harder, she could recover all her memories, just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more.

Then she would know why Gong Chenli sent her away, she would know why they had to stay in the Mafia, she would know who the enemy truly was, and why they suffered heavy casualties.

Only by knowing everything could they find a way to avoid persecution in this lifetime, prevent all misfortunes from happening, isn’t that right...

Xia Xi emotionally viewed her memory as a crack to peek into the future, while rationally forcing herself to remember the key points, all of which added to her self-imposed pressure.

A straw after another piled on the camel’s back, even if it’s the last straw, the camel must stand tall, even when it has been forced to kneel, it must stand and shout: ’It’s alright, you can add one more!’.

Little did they know that under such pressure, neither man nor camel can continue to endure.

This is the limit of humans under high-pressure environments, a true strong person breaks through this limit gradually, then expands it, becoming an incredibly capable existence.

Gu Tong pursed her lips and said calmly, ”You’re too anxious!”

Xia Xi was silent: ”...” She certainly knew she was anxious, but there wasn’t a solution, which is why this was the real reason she kept telling herself she could still endure.

Gu Tong stroked Xia Xi’s long hair and said, ”Actually, we already know enough, as long as we take precautions accordingly, we can solve the problems. Some things, we can think about slowly. Heaven has fortunately given us a chance, it’s naturally difficult to give a second test for cheating!”

There’s no mistake in what she said...

Already knowing part of the future events to happen, what’s there to be dissatisfied with...

Indeed, human hearts are greedy.

Xia Xi exhaled a heavy breath and said, ”Do you think the information we have can be connected together?”

She clearly felt there was still a lot missing, even far from enough...

”Yes!” Gu Tong said calmly, ”Just now, I was within the Death Gate, recalling the scene when Li Yan and I were ambushed. At that time, Li Yan was heavily injured, I denounced the enemy, revealing in my tone that we knew each other but had been betrayed!

The second scene is even more horrifying; it’s a woman whose face is indistinct, taking me to the Martyr Cemetery. She told me I personally blew up Li Yan, and I was unwilling to cooperate with them!”

”These pieces of information are completely illogical...” Xia Xi paused slightly and said, ”In the previous life, wasn’t Prince Li sacrificed already...”

If according to this statement, Li Yan hadn’t sacrificed himself, and was on a mission with Gu Tong, it obviously shows how severely inconsistent the memory gaps were.

Xia Xi couldn’t quite understand.

Gu Tong proactively explained, ”I can understand! The things from the previous life, the memories and everything, only tell me one message—Li Yan didn’t die in the past life!”

”Didn’t die...” Xia Xi drew a sharp breath but also admitted Gu Tong wasn’t wrong, this was the only possible explanation, saying, ”But if that’s the case, then why...”

Li Yan, as the Prince of Longxing Country holding the power of a trainee, why would he fake his death!
