Chapter 393: Chapter 393

Gu Tong exchanged a glance with him for only a moment, yet it felt like an eternity.

She was eloquent, skirting around the real issue, and with just her words, she shifted the blame onto Mo Ruoqing. Originally, the matter should have been resolved this way, but Gu Tong didn’t have that feeling!

On the contrary, a foreboding sensation surged up within her, trouble was just beginning!

Gong Chenli issued the order in a commanding tone, his dark eyes focused on Gu Tong, as if summoning a pet of his own!

Gu Tong cursed inwardly, but there was nothing she could do! She had no choice but to step up the stairs.

Everyone measures things with their own yardstick, and Gu Tong had the same standard of measure. She clearly understood that Gong Chenli was using her as a scapegoat because he couldn’t deal with Mo Zixuan!

The room on the second floor.

The overall tone of the room was dark, with brown curtains making it somewhat gloomy. Beside the window stood a black coffee table and a blood-red sofa.

This was the place where Gong Chenli spent most of his time in Xinyuan, whether handling official business or resolving major issues, he would choose to do it here.

At this moment, he was leaning on the blood-red sofa, legs crossed, hands naturally resting on his knees, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He said, "The quality of the goods we’re selling now is getting higher! We’ve got all kinds of quality!"

This sentence was undoubtedly probing.

Gong Chenli was in a high position, engaging in dangerous trades, so he acted more cautiously. Not to mention the military, even other forces had many eyes watching him!

"What Mister has chosen must be the best!"

Gu Tong stood by the black coffee table, maintaining some distance from Gong Chenli. Her expression was calm, once again wearing an emotionless look, as if she were indifferent. Chapters first released on n0velfire.net

"What I choose? Might not necessarily be useful."

Gong Chenli let out a cold laugh, yet his words were pointed, targeting many directions, covering a wide range, making it hard to grasp.

Gu Tong did not understand Gong Chenli’s social circle, so naturally, she couldn’t probe the true meaning behind his words. However, she was certain of one thing; this was not about her!

Gu Tong’s emotions were evident, these superficial emotions were all written on her face.

Gong Chenli took it all in but didn’t mind.

Or rather, it should be said, he liked Gu Tong’s kind of emotion.

He liked straightforward individuals whose emotions were laid bare, rather than those who hid and concealed them! It saved effort and energy!

It must be said, Gu Tong perfectly captured his psyche, and seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through the first layer of his psychological defenses. This was an incredibly difficult task and a rare opportunity.

"Whether useful or not, they are all chosen by Mister!"

Hearing this, Gong Chenli lowered his eyelids. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, added some tea, and said in a flat voice, "You’re the bravest girl I’ve ever seen!"

This was the truth. With Gong Chenli’s status, who would dare to joke with him usually?

Fearful that a single displeasure might send them to meet King Yan...

Gu Tong was indeed rare .

"Ha, and still the one most unwilling to follow me! Always coming up with ways to cause trouble!" Gong Chenli picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Is there any reason for that?"

His topic came suddenly; it was his speculation, also the cognition Gu Tong deliberately gave him.

Being undercover has always been a profound study. Being undercover for the sake of being undercover has always been pointless!
