Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1421: Chapter 1420: We’re Not on the Same Wavelength

Xia Xi was about to cough up blood. She picked an unimportant matter and said, ”No big deal, just letting Gu Tong know when the phone will be released.”

She was also collaborating with Li Yan and had a plan in place. Gu Tong was the one responsible for connecting the dots, so letting Gu Tong know was definitely without issue.

Li Yan’s thin lips parted as he said, ”Company meeting tomorrow afternoon. I anticipate the company will issue the phone soon, so your operations can be scheduled. This matter, I believe the deputy has already informed you about, correct?”

The first part of the sentence was informational, the latter was probing.

”...” Of course, she was informed, and quite clearly too. She was just looking for an excuse, why expose her?

Xia Xi coughed and said, ”I handle transitions with Gu Tong, so I must inform her too. Besides, you’re busy, and I’m afraid you’ll forget.”

Li Yan lazily yawned and said, ”We are husband and wife.”

”...” What’s with this provocative tone, huh? You’re husband and wife, but we’re sisters.

Xia Xi puffed her cheeks and said, ”Close couples but clear accounts!”

Li Yan added, ”My money is all hers, so no need for accounting.”

Xia Xi: ”...” Couldn’t continue the conversation, why do couples always talk to a dead end?

Xia Xi rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue dealing with Li Yan, wishing she could hang up immediately and soothe her fragile soul.

Yet, just at this moment.

Gong Chenli stood up. His long legs took a few steps and landed in front of Xia Xi. Without greeting, he picked up the phone and said, ”I’m Gong Chenli.”

Li Yan raised an eyebrow; his cold expression unchanged, he said, ”I know.”

A man appearing beside Xia Xi, other than Gong Chenli, was no one else.

Gong Chenli casually sat down, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said, ”At noon twelve, I received a tip-off. The Luo Family acted at Safe Hospital. In the afternoon, you and Gu Tong arrived at Safe Hospital. Were you involved in this matter?”

No wonder he’s a prominent figure in Shoucheng; the intelligence is extraordinarily timely.

Li Yan’s profound eyes stared forward, his lips slightly moving, ”We’re responsible for this case.”

”Heh.” Gong Chenli sneered coldly and said, ”Getting involved with the Luo Family is not a good idea. You’re already besieged in Shoucheng; don’t provoke opponents easily.”

Shoucheng’s Gong Qingwan was enough trouble for Li Yan; now adding the Luo Family too, he really seems to want more drama.

Li Yan’s ice-cold face showed no excess expression, ”Mission!”

Two words clearly expressed his intent; he was a trainee, that was his mission and his duty. Other matters were outside his concern.

Gong Chenli raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but laugh, ”When I first met you, I felt we didn’t get along, and indeed, we really don’t!”

Their personalities were worlds apart.

Even their ways of dealing with matters varied greatly.

Like black and white, one righteous, one evil.

Li Yan crooked his mouth and replied, ”So, you should be glad you’re washing your hands clean or else you’d be my next target to handle.”

Gong Chenli rubbed his two fingers as if thinking, ”Then I should be glad that the folks back home are courting death, or I’d have to face a powerful rival!”
