Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1243: I’ve Heard So Much About Miss Xue Tong

As long as Han Shang is confused, they can gain more opportunities.

There is still hope for them!

Although this hope is faint, it is still worth striving for.

Han Shang’s gaze grew more intense, he wickedly licked his lips, took a step forward, and said, ”I’ve long heard of Miss Xue Tong’s name. I didn’t expect to actually meet you. You truly haven’t disappointed me.”

Long heard of...

What a joke!

The name Xue Tong, which Gu Tong just started using, hasn’t been out for even half a year. There’s no reputation to speak of. How can it be ”long heard of”?

Is Han Shang just being mysterious, or does he have some other purpose?

Gu Tong found it hard to see through him.

Gu Tong tightly gripped the weapon, trembling at the thought of losing control of the laser device if she didn’t hold on tightly enough...

Han Shang gave her an invisible pressure, heavily suppressing the power in her body.

The urgent crisis that might be exposed at any moment swept over her, and before she knew it, Gu Tong was already drenched with sweat.

Han Shang’s insight was extremely keen; his purple pupils captured all of Gu Tong’s emotions, and he said, ”Miss Xue Tong, you seem unwell?”

It didn’t seem like she was being held with a weapon to her head but rather like she was sitting at a banquet, exchanging pleasantries.

Han Shang’s attitude seemed as if the person in front of him was not an opponent but an old friend.

Xia Xi bit her lower lip, feeling nervous as well...

It’s over...

Xue Tong already felt indebted to Han Shang, and now faced with Han Shang’s attitude...

This time, they were completely stuck here.

Gu Tong’s hand gradually failed to hold the weapon, and she said, ”Does this gentleman always get so familiar with everyone?”

The members of the Sicuro Mafia all frowned in unison, appearing displeased with Gu Tong’s words.

If taken by her meaning, it implied that the little BOSS was naturally familiar!

For the lofty little BOSS, this was definitely an insult.

Han Shang’s smile didn’t decrease but rather increased, as he tilted his mouth and said, ”I feel an instant connection with Miss Xue Tong.”

Lost...

They truly had lost.

Sweat rolled down Gu Tong’s palms!

To Han Shang, this partner she had fought alongside for many years, she seemed to have lost her disguise, her hard shell...

”An instant connection indeed!” Gu Tong forcibly suppressed her emotions, lowered her voice, and said, ”Then dare I ask, what purpose does this gentleman have in following us?”

Purpose?

Han Shang chuckled lightly, revealing no emotion, and said, ”There’s an old saying in Longxing Country: pretending to be confused while actually knowing. Miss Xue Tong, do you know how to explain this phrase?”

This sentence was meant not as a question but a statement, or perhaps a double entendre.

He was implying that Gu Tong was pretending to be confused while actually knowing the truth!

Gu Tong pursed her lips and decided to be straightforward, saying, ”Sir, we risk our lives in this venture; we can’t just work for nothing!”

This statement was clear enough! Putting down the weapon was possible, but terms needed to be given.

Negotiation?

Han Shang appreciated Gu Tong’s way of speaking and was blunt, saying, ”In the Ancient Tomb, there’s a cane that belongs to Sicuro. I just want that one item, no more, no less. Miss Xue Tong, is this acceptable?”

Just asking for a cane isn’t much, and it’s not unreasonable.

For Sicuro, this was surely an unprofitable deal.

Moreover, they currently have the numbers. If it truly came to a fight, they wouldn’t necessarily lose out.

Besides, given the current situation, even though Gu Tong pointed the weapon at Han Shang, if she really dared to use it, in mere moments she would be riddled with bullets by Sicuro’s people.
