Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: Damn! That Guy Got In

What a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Those detestable guys at Sicuro already planned to reap the benefits!

Just waiting for Xia Xi to water, fertilize, and loosen the soil until the fruit ripens. Then they’ll nab it all at once!

”Damn!” Gu Tong rubbed her temples, despite constant vigilance day and night, it’s hard to guard against traitors within. With such a troublesome person in the house, what could she do? She felt truly hopeless...

Xia Xi, seeing Gu Tong like this, instinctively felt a bit timid and said, ”Well... Xue Tongtong, I didn’t mean it... Plus, our solution was so complicated. Han Shang is so clueless, how could he possibly get in, right?”

If that guy Han Shang knew how to get in, he would have just gone in himself. Why bother to follow them so tediously? It’s obvious that Han Shang thinks the map is on the land deed.

Gu Tong gave her a glare and said, ”If I remember correctly, last time we were at the Red Mansion, you told me Han Shang could also be reincarnated!”

”...” Damn, how did I forget that...

Xia Xi coughed a few times and said, ”But even if he is reincarnated, it doesn’t mean he remembers everything. There are always exceptions, right...”

To hell with your exceptions!

Gu Tong broke through her struggle and said, ”Han Shang, a person from Country Y! A small boss of the Sicuro Mafia!”

”...” Why is there a character introduction now...

Ahem, I already know all of this~

”His grandfather was the old boss of the Sicuro Mafia, his father the eldest son of the old boss!”

”...” Yeah, I know that too~

So, what is Xue Tongtong trying to say...

”His mother is from Longxing Country, his maternal grandfather was a master of the Longxing Country Chess Association. Han Shang lived in Longxing Country until he was eight. Only after his father met with an accident, the Sicuro was left leaderless, did Han Shang return to Country Y!”

”...” Oh my gosh...

Xia Xi nearly bit her tongue off!

What an unknown past this is...

Even Han Shang’s Personal Guard Captain wouldn’t know, let alone someone like Xia Xi, a former ordinary member of Sicuro.

Actually...

Back in the day, there were many rumors within Sicuro about Han Shang’s childhood, but they all shaped his kingly path. For instance, the old boss trained the young boss in uninhabitable places until he was eight before bringing him back.

Because of this, Han Shang’s past is shrouded in mystery, and unless he says so himself, no one can know.

Xue Tong, this girl is close to Han Shang.

Surely, Han Shang must have told her these things...

Xia Xi felt like crying without tears, she struggled and said, ”The puzzle of the eight characters at the gate, Han Shang couldn’t possibly figure it out...”

”...” Gu Tong didn’t even feel like refuting her anymore, nor was there any need to.

Because...

At the same time!

A ’click’ sound came from the tomb.

And it came from the direction of the Gate of Life and Death, which connected to the corridor, with the entrance to the cannon outside.

Oh my gosh...

Xia Xi’s face turned pale with a ’swish’ and she said, ”Damn! That guy got in...”

Gu Tong covered her forehead, said in despair, ”Based on the above analysis, I finally understand why, even though I’ve never seen a chess game, I know how to solve the one on the Fire Bag! It’s obvious that Han Shang cracked the puzzle. We actually reaped the fruit he cultivated.”

”...” Now... it doesn’t matter who reaped whose fruit...

What matters is... how do we escape...
