Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

No matter who it is, no one can bully her. This statement is too broad.

...

After returning to the Academy, Gu Tong had this sentence swirling in her head, with the corners of her mouth constantly turning upward. There was always a warm, sweet spot in her heart.

Perhaps it was because of Li Yan’s concern, or maybe the sincerity after they bared their hearts to each other that made her so excited.

Everything was fermenting in her heart, growing more intense.

Gu Tong pondered over the discussions with Li Yan, continuously speculating what time he was referring to.

’Knock, knock ––’

A brief knocking sound transmitted through, sounding somewhat cautious.

Gu Tong frowned slightly, walked leisurely toward the door, and smoothly opened it.

Wearing a dashing Academy Uniform, exuding sharpness and elegance, Gu Qing stood at the door with a furrowed brow, looking rather sullen. He just stood there without saying a word. Gu Tong felt this expression was somewhat unusual for her brother’s personality. She wondered what nerve was acting up, it just felt odd.

”Are you looking for me?”

Gu Tong responded with a frown but she could guess that Gu Qing seemed to be hiding something in his mood.

If there wasn’t something important, Gu Qing would not have come here, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be looking so gloomy. Gu Tong was aware of this in her heart.

”It’s a small matter!”

Gu Qing waved the hefty files in his hand, completely in the demeanor of waiting for Gu Tong to invite him in.

No need to guess, the documents in his hand were all the details of the ’夺尊’ plan.

”Brother, come in!”

Gu Tong’s heart seemed to be twisted into a knot with myriad entanglements, but she did not show it on the surface to avoid arousing Gu Qing’s suspicion.

Gu Qing said no more, walked into the room naturally, all in an official manner.

In the small space, the atmosphere suddenly became a little more oppressive. This might be the first time the siblings sat here discussing serious matters.

If not for the matter concerning Li Yan, such a solemn conversation would never occur between them at home.

Gu Tong poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Gu Qing, fully in an attitude to let him take his time speaking.

Coincidentally, the cup Gu Tong handed to Gu Qing had the same patterns as Mo Zishuang previously used. Clearly, the two of them used the same cup.

”I suppose Li Yan has already told you some details about the ’夺尊’ plan!”

Gu Qing started the topic directly by addressing the task. His main purpose was to hand over the ’夺尊’ task to Gu Tong.

Of course, as the main commander of the task, Gu Qing shouldn’t have come personally, but he didn’t feel assured, fearing others might not explain it thoroughly enough, so he came personally, especially to provide the supplementary content.

”He didn’t say anything.”

Gu Tong spoke truthfully. She indeed knew nothing about the task.

”Didn’t say anything...” This was unexpected for Gu Qing. He originally thought Li Yan would tell Gu Tong all the task content and the remaining supplementary details would be conveyed by him as a handover between siblings.

But who could have thought that Li Yan didn’t say anything, making things difficult for Gu Qing.

”The ’夺尊’ task is extremely dangerous, fraught with difficulties and unpredictability. Once you join, there is no turning back. This is a specially designated high-level task by the organization. All confidential documents have a special mark on top. You haven’t officially joined yet, so you have the chance to choose.”

Gu Qing routinely asked in a symbolic manner. Of course, deep down, he hoped Gu Tong could change her mind and not join such a dangerous plan, as Gu Tong was his only sister after all.

”The confidential documents and top-level task information are all here. Make your own choice!”
