Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1242: Named Xue Tong

Gu Tong stopped talking. At a moment like this, Han Shang’s sudden appearance tugged at her thoughts, making her instinctively recall so many things from the past that she had no mood left to answer Xia Xi’s boring question.

Of course, Xia Xi couldn’t keep pressing either. After all, she didn’t expect this stubborn tsundere Gu Tong to actually spell out the beginning and end of any story.

Maybe it was just Gu Tong’s temperament—most things she hid away, not wanting others to know.

Unless something unexpected happened and she had no choice but to speak; otherwise, Gu Tong would never let anyone understand even half a bit.

After being friends for so many years, Xia Xi still had some basic understanding of Gu Tong.

Gu Tong was already fully armed, lying in ambush beside the Life Gate. Just as she had expected, Han Shang chose life over death. On the Life Gate’s side, there were already ripples of sound.

The ”bang bang bang--” of weapons.

The ”thud thud--” of close combat.

The entire Life Gate was in utter chaos.

The sound of many people running rang out, a noisy mess like a whole class in uproar. Step by step they closed in, heading straight for the exit connected to the Life Gate.

They’re here!

What had to come would eventually come.

Two lifetimes apart!

Han Shang and Xue Tong still had to meet, after all!

They had clearly agreed...

If there was another life, they wanted no more entanglements whatsoever.

Gu Tong raised the silver laser, aiming its muzzle at the side of the Life Gate.

Han Shang, who had just stepped out, halted there. His light brown hair looked a bit messy, his deep eyes faintly gleaming with a dark violet light. His gaze was like the purest amber. His lips moved slightly as he said, ”Ambush?”

His tone lifted at the end, but it couldn’t cover the cold gleam in his voice, adding a layer of indifference.

”Click--” At the same time, the sound of lasers being cocked rang out behind him. The people of the Sicuro Mafia all aimed their dark muzzles at Gu Tong in unison.

Their chief Trainee Beckett was the first to rush out, his cold voice sounding as he said, ”Woman! The man you’ve got at gunpoint is a small BOSS of the Sicuro Mafia! Are you looking to die!”

Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know the reputation of the Sicuro Mafia. Among the powers in various countries, they held no small amount of influence.

”My target is the tracker, not your leader.” Gu Tong said this with deliberate mystery, further legitimizing the motive behind her ambush.

Beckett frowned, then turned toward Xia Xi not far away and said, ”Miss Xia Xi, please ask your friend to lower her laser. Otherwise, we of Sicuro will regard her actions as a declaration of war.”

Their ability to maintain friendly relations with Xia Xi was, to a large extent, because of Gong Chenli. This kind of ally relationship was very solid; Sicuro would not break the agreement on a whim.

However, all of this was on the premise that the small BOSS was not threatened!

Han Shang—the small BOSS of the Sicuro Mafia. His safety was the very reason Sicuro would stake their lives.

Han Shang’s violet-tinted eyes showed not the slightest panic. The corner of his mouth curved, a hint of a smile mixed in, as he said, ”I heard Mr. Gong say that Miss Xia Xi has a friend named Xue Tong. I presume that would be this young lady here.”

Xue Tong...

When those two words fell to the ground—

Whether it was Gu Tong or Xia Xi, both felt a tremor in the depths of their hearts.

Bringing up this hidden name again—what exactly did he mean? Or what had he found out? They couldn’t see through Han Shang’s intentions anymore...

Gu Tong’s hand holding the laser trembled slightly. While cursing Gong Chenli’s big mouth in her heart, she kept her tone calm and even as she said, ”That’s me.”

This was not the time to back down. If she admitted defeat, it would be completely over!

If Han Shang had been reborn, he couldn’t be sure whether Gu Tong was reborn as well. Gu Tong still had room to gamble.
