Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1406: What I Worry Most About Is Gu Tong

’Ding ding ding--’

Devil King Li Yan arrived late; he too raced all the way, hurrying to reach the hospital.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he met Qiao Chenyi, who had already finished negotiating with the Dean, and said, ”Duke Qiao, how is Little Yu?”

Qiao Chenyi shook his head and said, ”Gu Tong has already gone in and she’s still in emergency rescue...”

Li Yan pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

This Little Yu was someone they happened to come across when they were strolling down the food street. At that time, she was being beaten by a group of villains, and it was he and Gu Tong who intervened to save her.

They then took her onto their car, where Little Yu tearfully recounted her tragic past, hoping Gu Tong would save her.

Gu Tong felt a pang of compassion, so he had Qiao Chenyi arrange for her to stay at the Safe Hospital. But who would have thought that even in a place like Longxing National Security Hospital, seemingly unassailable, something would still go awry.

If Li Yan remembered correctly, Little Yu once said the people she offended were from the Luo Family in Shoucheng, and she even held tangible evidence of the Luo Family’s criminal activities.

Li Yan furrowed his brow and said, ”Was it the Luo Family’s doing?”

Qiao Chenyi shook his head again, saying, ”We don’t have any evidence.”

Who exactly was behind it remains just conjecture; indeed, they haven’t grasped any substantial evidence.

Given Qiao Chenyi’s position, he couldn’t randomly speculate about anyone and could only harbor some suspicion, saying, ”This case is handled by my classmate. We talked over the phone just now. He said Little Yu’s case is widespread and has now escalated to the Major Crimes Unit. The specifics, he isn’t very clear about either.”

In Li Yan’s deep eyes, a hint of coldness flickered as he said, ”So it was a case of killing to silence.”

Only exceedingly serious cases would be transferred to the Major Crimes Unit, where a special investigation team is assembled, illustrating just how troublesome Little Yu’s case is.

Qiao Chenyi sighed and said, ”We are trainees and not involved in case investigations, so we cannot participate in the specific details.”

”Yes, that’s true.” Li Yan lowered his eyelids; he glanced toward the direction of the operating room and said, ”What I worry about most is Gu Tong; she is different from us.”

They all lived past the point of the knife, licking blood to get by, having seen life and death, witnessed desolation, and encountered many a Dark Force.

But Gu Tong joined the Academy later; even when executing tasks, it was only a few times, and they were all resolved smoothly.

Thus, she has never experienced even a trace of a trainee’s helplessness, that which you clearly can still fight yet cannot join the battle—a deep sense of shameful impotence powerful enough to destroy a person.

Qiao Chenyi sat on the chair in the corridor, saying, ”It’s said that the Devil King never loses; everyone only talks about your exceptional ability but doesn’t know that you are most afraid of mission failures. It’s precisely this caution that led you to where you are today.”

Qiao Chenyi possessed a mind-reading ability, a kind of cold reading skill that allowed him to easily analyze a person’s thoughts through subtle expressions.

Li Yan gave him a glance but showed no extra emotions, nor did he hide anything, saying, ”Isn’t that true for any General?”

They are trainees and also leaders of an Academy squad.

If they retreat even a step, their trainees might lose someone.

If they lose a battle, those criminals could harm more people.

Trainees bear heavy responsibilities and must forge ahead.

They do not fear losing, but they cannot lose, cannot retreat.

Qiao Chenyi smiled faintly and said, ”Indeed, Generals possess the heart of a strongman, and Devil King is a strongman, naturally so.”
