Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 825 - 824: The Battles the Old Man Lost

"If you look at it this way, we really are together this time."

Gu Tong said casually. Honestly, their opportunities to meet were few and far between, let alone work together.

"Yes, but this case is quite tricky and somewhat troublesome. Right now, even the top levels in Shoucheng can’t control it, so we need to collaborate on this investigation."

The high-level crime investigation team in Shoucheng is divided into two groups: one consists of skilled officers from the police force, and the other comprises the Academy’s elites.

Only the particularly major and complex cases, which are impossible to handle, are handed over to the Academy. This highlights the challenging nature of this case.

"When I was reviewing the case integration files, I found that my dad and Uncle Qiao were involved in this case back then."

Gu Tong has an incredible memory; all the information points seem engraved in her mind, ready to be automatically integrated when needed.

"Yeah," Qiao Chenyi said with a helpless smile, "My old man and Gu Wangjue both suffered losses at their hands back then. Even now, just mentioning those bandits gets him all fired up."

Qiao Chenyi couldn’t help but recall his father sitting on a chair, tapping the table with his pipe, cursing the bandits—an image both amusing and exasperating.

"If they weren’t so old, they probably would have loved to jump into action themselves."

Gu Tong turned the steering wheel, driving the car into the Academy’s parking lot, guided all the way by Qiao Chenyi in the passenger seat.

"It’s just how it is; they’re in high positions now, practically the Princes protected by Longxing Country. Even the most reckless young punks wouldn’t let them personally engage."

Qiao Chenyi shook his head, fundamentally denying the possibility of their participation, something both elders were well aware of.

If not for this, they wouldn’t have placed their hopes on the next generation.

"That’s why being a second-generation military kid isn’t all that great. We’re still expected to charge forward in the battles they lost."

Qiao Chenyi: "..."

Though he found Gu Tong’s words somewhat inappropriate, he also thought they were quite apt.

Indeed, only Gu Tong would dare say something like that.

"Park the car here; the operation area is not far from here, just about a three-minute walk!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Perhaps out of habit, Qiao Chenyi narrated the route in such a way that anyone could understand it immediately.

Gu Tong precisely followed his directions, parked the car in the parking lot, shifted gears, pulled the handbrake, and removed the key.

Her movements were extremely skillful, proficient enough to leave anyone in awe, as women drivers were uncommon at that time, let alone ones so adept.

"No wonder those old guys are so keen on recruiting you; there’s a reason for it."

Qiao Chenyi admired Gu Tong’s prowess even more, thinking she was a true all-rounder, a prodigy that no ordinary female trainee could compare to.

The effort and energy required to master so many skills are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"It’s just driving; lots of people can do it."

Gu Tong put the car keys in her pocket, thinking about how things developed in her past life. By then, female drivers on the road were nothing new; there were even many female truck drivers.

"It’s not the same."

Qiao Chenyi smiled faintly but didn’t say anything more.
