Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1163: They’ve Been Targeted

’Clatter--’

The moment the plate fell to the ground, the entire cake landed on the floor, but the plate didn’t break.

However, that sound alone was enough to alarm the entire café.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward them.

Gu Tong bent slightly, glancing disdainfully at the plate. With a sidelong glance, she surveyed her surroundings and said, ”Unlucky!”

”The dress was perfectly fine, and now it’s so dirty,” Xia Xi remarked, pulling out a paper towel and putting it in Gu Tong’s hand. As their hands crossed, Gu Tong quickly signaled Xia Xi: first a one, then a seven.

Seventeen!

Just now, seventeen people had looked over.

The plate falling drew the attention of many, including the café staff.

However, in the instant Gu Tong looked up, seventeen people avoided her gaze. She immediately realized there was something wrong with them.

Normal customers, witnessing such a commotion, would turn back around after a bit. They would check what’s happening before looking away.

Only those with guilty consciences would subconsciously evade eye contact.

This was enough to prove it! They were being watched.

Although she didn’t know when it started, Gu Tong knew these people had been following them for a while now.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a large setup.

Gu Tong slightly frowned!

But she couldn’t figure out these people’s motives now; whether they were targeting her or Xia Xi was still a mystery.

Xia Xi sighed, ”Don’t be mad. I know you like this dress. I’ll buy you another one next time. There’s a shop next to my store that sells them!”

Xia Xi’s sentence contained ’I’ three times. If deciphered according to their organization’s code, it meant ’it’s my problem!’

That is to say, these people were drawn by Xia Xi.

Gu Tong exchanged glances with her, saying, ”If it weren’t for you annoying me, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Xia Xi burst out laughing, ”Why are you so petty? I’ll take you out to play and make it up to you~”

Go out to play?

This meant these people were here because of a mission.

Gu Tong paused slightly!

Xia Xi’s mission was released not long ago, yet so many people were already on to her.

This indicated that her mission was definitely not a usual one!

This troublemaking woman.

Gu Tong pursed her lips, ”Alright, it’s no big deal. Do you have any clothes with you? I want to change!”

Not knowing the opponent’s intentions, ensuring their safety was most important.

Thus, she hinted whether Xia Xi had brought any equipment.

Xia Xi grabbed another paper towel, handed it to Gu Tong, and calmly said, ”In the car, I’ll take you to change~”

After saying that, she stood up without saying much, leading Gu Tong outside.

However, at that very moment, both of them braced themselves for battle, not knowing when it might erupt.

Trouble had come unnoticed!

They walked naturally as if nothing happened, but didn’t forget to observe the situation around them.

Their actions were neither too fast nor too slow, for fear of alerting the enemies, which could lead to a disadvantageous situation for them.

The people orchestrated inside the café hadn’t expected Gu Tong and Xia Xi to get up and leave, and they were momentarily indecisive.

They exchanged glances, and then several started to stand up one after another.

’Swish--’

The glass door automatically opened.

At the same time, Gu Tong and Xia Xi made a snap decision, running straight to the car, not daring to delay at all.
