Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”What do you mean by that?”

Gu Tong handed a pair of chopsticks to Li Yan, seeming interested in the man’s words.

”Haha, Shoucheng is a treasure land, a place where the rich stay. Now, people from other provinces are finding ways to squeeze in here. There’s a lot of money to be made, so they come up with plenty of ideas.”

The man took a bite of the chicken leg from his lunchbox and added, ”The man who made a move just now is called Skin, a well-known pimp in Shoucheng, specializing in women’s business. He has connections and sends countless people here every year. Those women are poor and want to deal with Skin, so they’d rather suffer, getting beaten and cursed is nothing to them.”

”Hahaha, don’t be fooled by that woman looking pitiful. She’s actually quite skilled in many ways. Skin has a bad temper, and when he’s slightly displeased, he beats and curses without mercy. She’s already gotten off lightly, if it were another woman serving, she’d have been battered and bruised long ago.”

The man chatted idly about these stories, as if they had nothing to do with him.

You could tell at first glance, he was an old hand who’s been around for years.

”You know quite a lot, do you know Skin?”

Gu Tong took a bite of his food, finally understanding why Li Yan was upset.

He was the kind of person who was filled with a sense of justice and couldn’t stand these shady things.

But, come to think of it, she was the same. If she hadn’t spent so many years in the Mafia, she might be even angrier than Li Yan.

”We work at the same nightclub, but I’m a security guard and he’s a pimp, we’re not the same kind of people, haha. Our place is small, there’s nothing you can hide, and besides, Skin’s business isn’t exactly a secret, everyone knows.”

”But Skin does have a few connections; he’s sworn brothers with the nightclub owner, they’re quite close. In the past, when Skin caused trouble, the owner would cover for him, and it stirred up quite a few troublesome incidents.”

The man was busy stuffing food into his mouth, chatting away about these trivial tales.

These things were long accustomed to him, unless something really fresh came up, he wouldn’t feel anything about it.

In a sense, this was Shoucheng’s downside.

It always allows people to get used to such dirty lives.

Li Yan understood the man’s words, pressed his lips together, and said no more.

Instead, he took the lunchbox and began eating!

Before coming to Shoucheng, he already understood the meaning of Shoucheng, as well as its hedonistic indulgence and unspeakable dirty secrets.

Li Yan had a strong heart, capable of gradually adapting to these things.

Gu Tong felt somewhat relieved seeing this, thinking carefully that back in the early ’90s, development wasn’t so fast, people were sincere, and besides, Li Yan originally came from a trainee background, with a strong sense of justice, so encountering bullying, it was inevitable he’d find it hard to accept.

However, he believed in his man’s adaptability, he would surely be able to transform it into a peaceful mindset.

’Ring ring ring---’

The sudden sound echoed inside the compartment.

At that time, having a cell phone was rare, a gadget only the rich could afford. At this time, many people hadn’t seen one, so it inevitably drew the attention of those around.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Tong took out the phone Xixi had given her and answered, ”Hello!”

”Gong Chenli has already notified the Li Family about Li Yan’s return, but hasn’t revealed Li Yan’s identity as Student King yet. I guess it won’t be long before the Li Family takes action!”

Xia Xi’s bell-like voice rang out, serving as a kind of notification and reminder.
