Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Because he returned the half-dead Lie She, covered with bullet wounds and barely clinging to life.

You must know, Lie She was their only clue; if anything happened, everything would completely collapse...

”This question should be asked by me to Director Fang!” Li Yan lowered his eyelids, glanced back at Fang Yiqing, and said, ”When it comes to Lie She, I think you’re the one who knows most about it, Director Fang!”

Fang Yiqing held all the information about Lie She and was in charge of coordinating the mission, so it’s impossible that he didn’t know everything.

However, looking at the situation before him, he deliberately hid the information, causing the Special Service to be in danger. If Li Yan was not furious, he would truly be as pliable as clay.

”This situation is special, and not something that can be explained in a few words. Moreover, this matter is highly confidential, and I have my reasons for not informing you...”

Fang Yiqing wasn’t a fool; it wasn’t hard to guess that Li Yan already knew the situation. He then asked, ”What I want to know now is how exactly Lie She got hurt. Was it you who did it...”

If Li Yan was the one who did it, then the situation becomes special, and he could easily face punishment. But if someone else did it, then the connection through Lie She also has a problem.

Fang Yiqing was caught between a rock and a hard place...

”It was the Qi Family who did it!”

Li Yan broke the silence bluntly, directly explaining without hiding any information, saying, ”Lie She wants to completely wash his hands of it. To the Qi Family, he was already a useless pawn, so they wanted to eliminate him.”

”So that’s how it is...” Fang Yiqing finally relaxed for a moment, his whole person seemingly collapsing as he fell into a chair not far away, saying, ”This mission is especially important. The local police have been involved for years, and if something goes wrong at this juncture, I can’t escape the blame...”

”Devil King... you’re truly competent, the most reckless and non-compliant Student King I’ve ever met... you nearly scared the soul out of me...”

If Li Yan, unaware of the situation, acted improperly, it could easily lead to problems. In such a scenario, how could Fang Yiqing not be anxious?

Moreover, Qi Difei was not the only one being questioned by superiors, and Fang Yiqing was also being scrutinized...

Li Yan was not skilled at arguing, so he was unwilling to discuss the matter with Fang Yiqing; they each held their point of view, and no one could fully articulate their reasoning.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and silence ensued.

”Devil King, do you know that Warhawk Class 1 mobilized on their own this time, causing an upheaval in the Provincial City? Even Royal Academy is investigating our strategic moves, and you very well might face punishment for it. Don’t you care if there’s an issue?”

Even with all his capabilities, Fang Yiqing couldn’t suppress the unauthorized mobilization of the trainees. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t be so anxious.

After all, the Devil King was the Special Service he invited. If the mission went wrong because of this, he would truly bear the blame...

”That’s not how it should be said!” Gu Tong’s clear voice rang out, saying, ”When soldiers are away, military orders are not always followed. This is something all Royals know. We are Special Service, frontline personnel! Discovering problems and investigating immediately is appropriate; taking emergency action is perfectly reasonable. Furthermore, you were the ones who hid information first. If issues arose, it was because our information was incomplete, having nothing to do with Li Yan.”

It was clearly an outburst for a beauty, yet Gu Tong forcefully reframed it as discovering a problem and promptly deploying trainees to resolve it, showcasing skillful deceit.
