Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 577: Do you understand Xue Tong

The two sisters had a bit of a commotion.

Xia Xi’s phone started ringing.

After picking up the call, she looked at Gu Tong with a melancholy expression, still muttering things like ’I can’t keep you company anymore’ and ’That freak Gong is urging me to go back’.

She was entirely in the mood of having a ’rendezvous’...

Gu Tong rubbed her temples.

Yet, she particularly wanted to thank Gong Chenli...

He truly is a great person with the power to subdue demons and monsters!

Sacrificing himself, capturing monsters every day...

It’s truly hard on him...

Xia Xi was reluctant to leave.

Gu Tong looked disdainful.

After fooling around for quite some time.

Only then did Xia Xi unwillingly leave.

And she was still muttering phrases like ’I will definitely come back’!

Not sure how long it all lasted...

The space finally quieted down.

The sudden change in atmosphere made Gu Tong a little uncomfortable.

She shook her head helplessly, glanced at the phone on the table, and a faint smile curved on her lips.

...

The Lincoln car parked in the Academy Courtyard, becoming a unique scenery.

Without a doubt, this car was obviously sent by Gong Chenli to pick someone up!

Since he had a partnership with the Academy, they treated him with great privilege.

Moreover, he was given the greatest freedom possible! This included the comings and goings of cars, which was one of them.

Of course, it was only limited to the Academy Courtyard, leaving otherwise was absolutely not allowed.

’Clang clang clang―――’

Black high heels stopped in front of the black Lincoln car.

Jun Xing quickly got out from the co-driver’s seat, respectfully opening the car door to welcome Miss Xia Xi aboard.

As Xia Xi’s personal bodyguard, ensuring Xia Xi’s safety was his primary task.

And he couldn’t allow any oversight!

Xia Xi got into the car as expected, sitting in the back seat; the smile she had faded away, and her expression became somewhat heavy.

’Ring ring ring―――’

The phone rang twice!

Xia Xi glanced at the screen, seeing the words ’Jian the Weirdo’ written, she put the phone to her ear and said, "Hello!"

Jian the Weirdo was none other than someone!

Exactly Xia Xi’s partner in tech research.

Also considered a talent rarely encountered!

Xia Xi particularly trusted her!

"How’s the investigation going?"

A crisp voice like silver bells came through the receiver.

"No results!"

Xia Xi responded straightforwardly, with a hint of disappointment in her tone, "Xue Tong is very resistant to ’past’ things! I didn’t manage to ask anything!"

"If you want to ask, surely there’s a way to find out."

Jian the Weirdo resolutely said, explaining, "You understand Xue Tong, extracting information from her should be a piece of cake for you."

Xia Xi’s skill in coaxing information was high, and Jian the Weirdo had no doubt about it!

Moreover, the other person was her ’former’ friend, the degree of mutual understanding alone was enough to determine everything.

Xia Xi pressed her lips without speaking, yet she couldn’t help but admit it...

"The ’past’ is Xue Tong’s scar! Just like my pain! She can’t bear to hurt me, how could I bear to hurt her!"

If she said she didn’t want to know, that would be a lie.

However, everything must be done with care and method.

If she had to hurt Xue Tong just to know the answer.

Xia Xi absolutely couldn’t do it...

"So, do you really not want to know about the ’past’? Do you not want to regain lost memories? Or do you want the tragedy to happen again?"

The voice from the other end of the call, Jian the Weirdo, was very calm! Yet every word spoken was like a dagger to the heart, even hurtful.
