Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1245: Chapter 1244: Xue Tong, Are You Really Going to Betray Me?

Cane...

The ruby glistening with dazzling light sits atop a black wooden stick.

Han Shang’s hand grips the ruby, his mouth coldly asks, ”Xue Tong, are you really going to betray me?”

...

’Hiss--’

A sensation of splitting pain sweeps through.

Gu Tong staggers backward, letting the device in her hand slip away.

She doesn’t attack Han Shang despite losing her balance, nor does she create any illusion of causing him harm.

”Xue Tong, are you okay...” Xia Xi rushes over in two strides, grabbing Gu Tong’s body.

Without a second thought, she knows that at this moment, Gu Tong must have recalled something again.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such a strong reaction.

Indeed, encountering people, events, and things from the past can cause adverse stimuli, like a lingering aftereffect.

’Click--’

Beckett confirms that the little BOSS is no longer in danger, promptly cocks the laser, aiming it at Gu Tong’s head.

Xia Xi’s heart chills, quickly stepping forward, ”Beckett! What are you doing...”

”She aimed the laser at the little BOSS’s head!” Beckett, Han Shang’s devoted trainee lieutenant, couldn’t possibly allow such an occurrence.

Moreover, Beckett already regarded Gu Tong’s actions as utter disrespect; his only solution was instant extermination to vent his anger!

Xia Xi widened her eyes but remained unafraid, ”Xue Tong has already dropped the device! It’s enough proof she had no intention of harming Han Shang, what right do you have to act so rashly? Are you usurping authority?”

Han Shang has not yet spoken, but his devoted trainee lieutenant couldn’t hold back.

How could Xia Xi ever allow Beckett to harm Gu Tong in the slightest? She would protect Gu Tong at all costs.

”She aimed the device at the little BOSS’s head!!! Doesn’t that warrant death?!!!” For Beckett, an obsessive zealot, this was a matter of principle; he couldn’t step back even an inch.

”You!!!” Xia Xi was infuriated, simply turning her target to Han Shang, ”Han Shang BOSS, is this what you think too?”

If...

If Han Shang answers yes, then forget about the past life, even in this life, you wouldn’t be worthy of Xue Tong’s devoted intentions.

Han Shang glances at Xia Xi, only to find Gong Chenli’s little ladycat flaring up like a wild cat.

Especially with that look, as if saying, ’You are a heartless man’!

Amusing, Han Shang’s lips curve, placidly saying, ”Beckett, don’t be rude! Stand down! Don’t scare my friends with your viciousness.”

My friends...

Such heavy words.

Xia Xi is stunned in place.

Sicuro Mafia’s followers are petrified.

Beckett never expected that little BOSS Han Shang would say such words.

However, obeying little BOSS Han Shang is his duty; he unthinkingly replies, ”Yes!”

Good.

Crisis averted.

And within a mere moment.

Xia Xi breathes a sigh of relief, ”Thank you...”

After speaking, she turns and begins to assess Xue Tong’s condition, hoping Xue Tong’s state isn’t too bad, after all, this incident was sparked by her.

Han Shang raises an eyebrow, not finding it significant, as this matter to him is just a trivial episode.

Besides, he is genuinely concerned about the woman named Xue Tong!

Anyone observant could see that.

”Xue Tong, how are you?” Xia Xi asks with concern, but the person in her arms gives no response.

Gu Tong furrows her brows in pain, blocking out all external sounds, as if isolating herself from the world.
