Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 381: 381: Cannot shoot

”The goods chosen for me! I haven’t decided whether to buy them yet, and you’re already impatient to handle it? Who do you think you are!”

Gong Chenli’s voice was low, his words icy, each one dripping with frost, nearly freezing the manager of the Underground Trading City in his tracks...

The manager of the Underground City was ashen-faced, sweating profusely, his knees nearly buckling. He finally understood why Mr. Gong was angry...

Because he overstepped, challenging Mr. Gong’s authority...

The quirks of these wealthy people are extremely peculiar. There are always one or two unfathomable issues, and perhaps this is one of them...

”I’m sorry, it’s all, all my fault...”

The manager quickly apologized, and as long as he could be forgiven, he was willing to beg on his knees, or take a few punches and kicks, if necessary.

He hadn’t forgotten the last manager who angered Mr. Gong; the outcome was tragically severe, rumored to have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Gong Chenli withdrew his hand, took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and wiped his long fingers, as if he had touched something dirty just now!

But it was precisely this action that kept the manager obedient, clearly knowing he had just escaped from the jaws of a tiger, saving his own life. If he dared to offend Mr. Gong at this time, then he must have a death wish...

Gong Chenli’s movements were light and slow. He lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes aimed at Gu Tong not far away, saying, ”The goods I’ve looked at, even if I don’t want them, no one dares to touch them.”

His words were brief, but the central idea was very clear. Gong Chenli’s reputation preceded him; his temper was erratic, sharp and caustic, and ordinary people did not dare provoke him.

In this Underground Trading City, he was also considered the biggest buyer. Because of this, as long as he set his eyes on something, no one dared to snatch it. Even if he said no, no one dared to voice their favor, despite any inner admiration, this was the rule.

Gu Tong frowned, unsure of Gong Chenli’s intentions, yet she could clearly foresee that this task was much more challenging than her superiors had indicated.

She had weathered storms before, blood-painted the edge of a blade! Precisely because of this, she could instantly recognize a kindred spirit.

This Gong Chenli was unfathomable, definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

But fortunately, she hadn’t completely obeyed her superiors’ orders, putting on a guise of docility, for such a person, lacking in challenge and uniqueness, wouldn’t draw his interest.

For Gong Chenli to say that sentence for her was enough to show his interest in her.

”What do you want me to do?”

Gu Tong’s question made Gong Chenli curve his cold lips. He liked talking to clever people, especially clever and beautiful women!

”Can you shoot?”

Everything was in accordance with the scripted scenario, and the information provided to her by the organization showed no discrepancies!

However...

”No!”

Being able or not able are two different concepts; when it comes to life and death, Gu Tong trusted her instincts more!

...

The word ”No” was perfectly captured, echoing throughout the entire surveillance room.

Lan Siming glared, eyes wide with rage, practically ready to devour someone. Filled with anger, he slammed the table forcefully, spatting, ”What the hell is she trying to do!”

Utterly deviating from the plan, completely disrupting the strategy; Gong Chenli’s primary requirement for the bodyguard he sought out was proficiency in the Artifact Technique!

They had gone through extensive selection processes to pick Gu Tong for this! Yet at this crucial moment, facing such an important question, she unexpectedly said she couldn’t...

Has she gone mad...
