Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 994: Chapter 993: Fragile Heart Deeply Hurt

Xia Xi caught the skeptical look on Gu Tong’s face.

Seizing the moment, she said, ”I know, it’s really, really hard to believe all of this. Even when I started doubting my own memory, I thought I was going crazy!”

Doubting one’s own memory! That’s not just going crazy, it’s practically a split personality.

Ordinary people can’t just do something like that.

Xia Xi had been through such an experience, and the process was indescribably painful. She fully understood how difficult it was.

So she could really empathize with Gu Tong’s current state, saying, ”But I hope you can keep that doubt in your heart, expand it, enlarge it, and eventually you’ll discover the truth of the matter!”

Expand it, enlarge it!

Gu Tong pressed her lips together and didn’t continue the conversation, but she kept Xia Xi’s words in mind.

She’s not the type to run away; when she encounters problems, she thinks of ways to solve them.

It was exactly because of this that she could take in Xia Xi’s words, and Xia Xi dared to speak to her in this way.

In conclusion, it’s also a kind of understanding!

Gu Tong said, ”Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore! What exactly did you mean when you said the Academy lent me to you at the start?”

The topic shifted.

Xia Xi had no intention of forcefully bringing the topic back, saying, ”Tomb raiding.”

Gu Tong’s eyes widened, and she almost wanted to split this guy in half, saying, ”You’re taking a trainee to raid a tomb?”

What a bizarre idea, and she could come up with it.

How could Pingge Academy agree to this? This is insane.

Xia Xi quickly waved her hand, saying, ”Not the kind of tomb raiding you’re imagining. We’re raiding a private tomb. I’ve already gotten approval.”

A private tomb?

Raiding a private tomb, doesn’t that mean it’s not tomb raiding? Alright.

Gu Tong rolled her eyes, asking, ”How did you apply for that?”

Xia Xi shrugged, saying, ”Just don’t worry about it, I have my ways.”

With a smug and disdainfully punchable expression, she continued, ”The cemetery is located in City C. We’re going to take a train there; two days and a night to reach. We’re planning to leave soon. You don’t have any issues, right?”

What she was asking wasn’t anything else but about Gong Qingwan.

After all, their mission this time was complicated and might have unforeseen circumstances.

That’s why Xia Xi was worried about causing more trouble.

”No problem.”

The situation with the Li Family was already taking shape, and given the current circumstances, it wasn’t as tricky as expected.

Gu Tong could leave at any time.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Xia Xi these things.

After all, she’s not so free as to create extra trouble for herself.

”Then there’s no problem.” Xia Xi clapped her hands in joy, saying, ”These days, I’ll start arranging everything. Once everything’s set, we’ll depart.”

The thought of going on an adventure with Xue Tong filled Xia Xi with immense joy.

”...” Is tomb raiding supposed to be this fun these days...

Gu Tong was a bit speechless.

However, she didn’t continue to complain, instead saying, ”Can I go now?”

The preliminary arrangements were done.

The not-so-pleasant conversation could end here.

With things still on her mind for the afternoon, Gu Tong wanted to leave early.

”There’s no more business, but I can’t bear to let you go...” Xia Xi pouted.

”Then I’m leaving.” Without another word, Gu Tong got up to leave, showing no attachment whatsoever.

”...” Seriously, do you have to be so cold and heartless... My fragile heart is seriously hurt...

With tears almost in her eyes, Xia Xi silently complained, even wanting to accuse this heartless woman.
