Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”It’s rare to see our boss Lie She so happy; we’re all riding his coattails, keep drinking, don’t stop!”

The boss was happy, and the brothers were enjoying it too, making a ruckus for an entire night, showing no signs of stopping.

”Haha! You guys might not know this yet, but our boss has just taken down the infamous Black Widow. If word gets out, our boss Lie She’s reputation will be even more feared, everyone will tremble at the name!”

The gang of Lie She’s underlings, slightly drunk, laughed wildly with reckless abandon.

Stepping over others to get ahead was an unwritten rule. It was understandable why Lie She did so, and his gang particularly understood this.

If it weren’t like this, Lie She wouldn’t have resorted to any means necessary to eliminate Gu Tong, partly to make a name for himself!

”Even the Black Widow could be taken down... I heard she was stunningly beautiful. None of the ordinary men who saw her could resist her charms. Our boss Lie She is truly incredible, trying to be another Liu Xiahui...”

”Hehehe—our boss has seen all kinds of women; merely a Black Widow, nothing special. I heard that Black Widow had used every trick in the book to seduce our boss Lie She, even climbing into his bed!”

...

As the words passed by, they all flooded into Li Yan’s ears in an instant. His violent tendencies were uncontrollable, every cell in his body seemed to heat up, as if they could ignite at any moment.

The words of defamation became increasingly unpleasant, including much praise for Lie She and insults and slanders against Gu Tong.

Li Yan was no fool, he naturally understood.

These rumors were purposefully created; the aim was to defame the Black Widow while making themselves seem great. This was human nature, a disgraceful tactic commonly used in the underworld.

However, the person they spoke of was his wife, whom he held dear. If this kind of thing can pass without consequences, that would truly be a nightmare.

A certain deputy following behind Li Yan was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was worried sick for Li Yan, fearing he’d lose his senses, unable to calm down over time...

If he remembered correctly, the Duke had once told him that his wife’s disguise was the Black Widow. Yet these reckless fools dared to joke about her like this, it was utterly disrespectful.

The deputy couldn’t help but glance at Li Yan’s extremely dark face, feeling they were doomed this time...

Li Yan stood still, glancing back at the boastful thugs.

’Click—’

He stormed into the crowd with rage, grabbing one by the collar and fiercely pushing him against the nearby glass door.

”Where’s Tie Ma?”

Three words, devoid of any emotion.

More like a question coming from the depths of an abyss.

”Who... who are you?”

The thug’s back was in pain, cold sweat nearly pouring down, nervously staring at Li Yan, afraid he might be an enemy.

”Tell Tie Ma that Tan Ming is here to see him! I think he’ll meet with me.”

Tan Ming was the name of the Black Widow’s lover, a disguise currently used by Li Yan as well.

”Brother Tie Ma is busy now and has no time to see anyone...”

Though the thug didn’t know Li Yan’s identity, judging by the situation before him, he understood the man was here for revenge.

If he exposed Tie Ma’s location now, he feared Tie Ma would skin him alive...

”Do you think I’m asking for your opinion?”

Li Yan raised his hand, hiding the sleeve of his hand, aiming at the thug’s stomach.
