Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: She Got Played by That Scammer Again

Han Shang spoke in a calm, emotionless tone: ”The old boss once said that the old gentleman is a meticulous person; everything he does has a logic behind it. Clearly, this matter is no exception.”

Han Shang’s implication was clear: a person like the old gentleman would never do something futile.

Everything he does must have a purpose. By this logic, the deed is indeed a useful thing.

On careful thought, it’s exactly that. Yanggou Village is heavily guarded, serving as the first line of defense; the eight tombstones, filled with mysteries, count as the second line of defense; plus, the various traps within the Ancient Tomb constitute the third line of defense.

The old man’s design of the defense lines was already challenging enough. Without a map, it would be nearly impossible to crack the code. So, when the original rules were set, the old man added a note: having the deed is equivalent to having the map, explicitly telling you the solution.

However, it’s apparent that the old man also tampered with the map. Even if you get your hands on it, you may not be able to understand it, let alone easily enter. Xia Xi is a prime example.

Even though holding the treasure map, she couldn’t comprehend its contents at all, only thinking the old man left nothing.

Han Shang is a clever person, knowing to first seek out the map the old man had left and solve its mysteries.

Gu Tong understood in her heart that Han Shang would never lie about such things...

So upon hearing this, she already wanted to beat Xia Xi up.

”...” As expected, she got tricked by that scammer again...

Gu Tong was about to spit blood and said, ”Since you’ve seen the deed and already understood the map, then why chase after Xia Xi?”

Han Shang said evenly: ”Because she took the deed when she ran away!”

”...” After half solving the map, that one took it away as if it was nothing. Anyone else would probably be furious...

Indeed, money is almighty.

Even for Xia Xi, who was terrified of the Sicuro Mafia, she could still run away for some profit. Xia Xi seems to fear nothing...

Gu Tong rubbed her temples again and asked, ”Did you crack anything?”

”On the deed the old man left, there are intricately designed methods hidden which aren’t easy for an average person to solve. The initial game board, the Gate of Life and Death, and the Yin Yang Formation are all depicted. Just when we were about to crack the final treasure location, Xia Xi took the map and ran.”

Han Shang spoke nonchalantly, without any emotion. If this happened to someone else, they would have been steaming with rage, wishing to tear Xia Xi to pieces.

Of course, Han Shang once had such thoughts. If it weren’t for Gong Chenli, this matter wouldn’t have been let go.

”...” Back then, Xia Xi confidently claimed that there was nothing on the deed, just a mystery left by the old man. In the end, all the puzzles were solved by someone else...

Indeed, it was unwise to trust others...

Gu Tong’s lips twitched, cursing Xia Xi inwardly while also scolding herself. If she had been a bit more cautious initially, even just glanced at the deed, she might have discovered the issue and wouldn’t rely solely on past memories now.
