Chapter 399: Chapter 399

As these words dropped, someone was still sitting on the toilet seat; if it weren’t for the restroom being too small, she would have jumped up!

She originally thought her husband would be furious, and it would take a while for him to calm down... She never dreamed he could be so easily placated...

However, what she didn’t know was that before the call, Devil King was indeed very angry, but right after the call, he inexplicably calmed down...

"What’s the situation?"

Li Yan didn’t continue to dwell on the anger issue but put it aside, shifting his focus to the mission’s progress.

He had been following this mission closely, so he clearly understood the situation at the Academy!

Initially, when the mission first started, they could still plant surveillance points, until Gu Tong was bought off, which had become known news――

However, Gong Chenli’s Xinyuan is in a surveillance blind spot; they couldn’t place personnel there, nor dared to recklessly deploy, so they were completely in the dark about the situation within.

Under such circumstances, many problems arose! Discussions at the Academy were endless, everyone holding opposing views; if it weren’t for this, Li Yan wouldn’t be so angry today!

"I’ve just approached the mission target, so I can’t assess the target’s situation, but now that he’s placed me by his side, as long as I’m not exposed, I’ll do everything to investigate!"

Gu Tong’s attitude was serious, and in just a few words, she gave Li Yan a different feeling.

He even had the illusion that this call wasn’t from his wife but a call from a comrade-in-arms!

Maybe this was the feeling Gu Tong wanted to give him; she was his wife, and also his comrade, someone he could entrust his back to!

"Gong Chenli has a peculiar personality, unpredictable moods! So, you have to be careful!"

If he weren’t worried, that would truly be a lie! Li Yan was constantly concerned about her, worried about her safety. Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net

Gu Tong sensed his emotions, and her heart warmed as she said, "Don’t worry."

Their relationship now had reached a certain level, where a simple expression resonated with mutual understanding; both could acutely sense each other’s emotions, which was not an easy feat.

"By the way... He told me something today that I found strange..."

Gu Tong pressed her lips together, hesitating before finally speaking, "He said... in a couple of days, his nephew is coming back, and then I should follow his nephew..."

"I haven’t grasped the situation on their side... I’m also afraid they have no contact, and by that time, I won’t know how to proceed... It could impact the mission’s completion..."

If not for the broad implications, Gu Tong wouldn’t have told Li Yan, after all, this wasn’t good news and would make him worry!

Moreover, Li Yan wasn’t stupid; with a myriad of bodyguards under Gong Chenli, yet they specifically chose Gu Tong, if there were no reason, it would be unbelievable!

"A personal bodyguard?"

Li Yan captured the key point and directly asked the question, though his emotions were unchanged, and his facial expression was extremely calm.

Gu Tong’s hand holding the phone stiffened slightly, unsure of how to respond. She thought for a moment, paused slightly, and said, "I’m not sure either..."

Who knows what that guy Gong Chenli is thinking, finding a bodyguard and making it seem like a harem selection, if there weren’t any issues, it would be impossible...
