Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: Damn, I Went Back on My Word

Chen Pi covered the car with mud, ostensibly to protect the off-road vehicle, but in truth, it was also because he feared the Yanggou Village villagers might discover it and drag him into trouble.

Gu Tong’s lips curled slightly, and she casually remarked, ”Yanggou Village is the path paved by the old man, these villagers sticking to ’tradition’ are indeed sincere, only Chen Pi is willing to break the old rules, he’s a smart guy!”

Of course, he’s a smart guy. While everyone else treats Yanggou Village’s cemetery as a faith, only Chen Pi turned it into a way to make money. Though he can’t earn much, he still does it secretly, and that’s why Xia Xi picked him.

Xia Xi easily understood Gu Tong’s meaning and said, ”This time, Han Shang destroyed the ancestral graves of Yanggou Village. With these villagers making a fuss, it’s going to be a tough time for him.”

Xia Xi had seen the villagers of Yanggou Village before; when you mess with their treasures, their fury is quite formidable, and they show no mercy to anyone.

”Han Shang, I’m not worried,” Gu Tong slowly closed her eyes and said, ”If the little boss of the Sicuro Mafia dies at the hands of the villagers, that would really be a huge joke.”

Xia Xi: ”...” What she said wasn’t wrong either...

Han Shang’s skills are extraordinary, known in many countries, and with so many fierce warriors by his side, ordinary people indeed can’t harm him at all.

It’s not just Gu Tong who’s not worried; anyone else would likely not worry either.

After all, his comprehensive defensive skills are unparalleled, worrying about him would really be bizarre.

Xia Xi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but ask, ”That... Xue Tong, what’s your relationship with Han Shang really...”

The relationship between Xue Tong and Han Shang felt really odd.

Especially Han Shang’s attitude, it seemed like he had known Xue Tong well for a long time.

Xia Xi dared to say, if Xue Tong wasn’t with Li Yan, she would absolutely think Xue Tong had some unspeakable connection with Han Shang.

However, Xue Tong has denied it more than once, and based on Xia Xi’s understanding of Xue Tong, she can feel that she’s telling the truth.

Xia Xi scratched her head twice, feeling like her brain was about to split open, yet she still couldn’t come up with a suitable answer.

Gu Tong glanced at her, obviously unwilling to answer her question, and said, ”You still have time to worry about me? Don’t forget! The ring your Demon King gave you is still sitting in your backpack!”

Demon King?

Ring?

Xia Xi blinked twice and suddenly remembered, and at the same time, her mouth opened wide, almost dropping to the floor...

Ring! Listening device...

How did she forget about this!

At the start of their mission, Xue Tong discovered a listening tracker, from the ring the Demon King gave.

Xia Xi, out of annoyed embarrassment, had thrown the ring into a water bottle, then tossed the bottle into her backpack, and hadn’t taken it out since then...

Xia Xi’s lips twitched twice...

Uh...

Would her Demon King be really furious...

This idiot.

Gu Tong rolled her eyes, inwardly cursing that she only remembered now.

They had been on the mission for several days, and knowing Gong Chenli’s personality, he was probably on pins and needles by now, likely preparing to search the world for Xia Xi.

”Ahhhh!!!” Xia Xi finally realized and said, ”I’m dead, dead... I promised the Demon King I’d be back in two days... damn, I broke my promise, will the Demon King kill me... swallow me whole and eat me alive...”
