"The action has already started!"
If the other party hadn’t already begun their move, Gong Chenli wouldn’t be in such a hurry!
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside, his emotions were churning, as if he had no solid ground to stand on.
The Ouyang Family’s matter is complicated to resolve; if one wants to deal with them, it will require considerable effort.
Li Yan furrowed his brows, but he also couldn’t understand Gong Chenli’s next plan—
From their interactions during this period, he understood Gong Chenli’s character; he’s definitely not soone who acts recklessly!
Everything he does must be ticulously planned! Including, of course, the matter with the Ouyang Family!
"The Ouyang Family wants to assassinate ! Why don’t I give them that opportunity."
Gong Chenli stubbed out his cigarette, and at the mont the ember extinguished, he said calmly, "Tonight, I’ve arranged a ball to welco your return, which will also be your first formal eting with them!"
A ball, making an appearance, there’s nothing wrong with that...
Li Yan looked at him for a long mont and said calmly, "What about Gu Tong!"
At this critical mont, Gong Chenli deliberately involved Gu Tong, and his intentions definitely weren’t simple.
"She will attend as your date."
After Gong Chenli said this, Li Yan’s aura beca as cold as the dead of winter.
His eyes bore into Gong Chenli as if he wanted to pierce a hole through him.
"Was this your intention all along when you asked the Academy for Gu Tong?"
These words slipped out, but it was clear that Li Yan had long anticipated this.
Gong Chenli, with his extensive connections, relied on the black market for his livelihood, which included many special information channels, so investigating Li Yan’s matters was no difficult task.
Gong Chenli had likely known for a while about Li Yan’s marital status.
Initially, their married life was troubled! Gong Chenli didn’t take it seriously, but later, the information he received changed—
That must have been after Gu Tong’s rebirth.
"Everyone has a weak spot! And you, without any vulnerabilities, make uneasy!"
Only by holding onto Li Yan’s most precious thing would Gong Chenli feel a sense of trust.
Otherwise, everything else would just be empty talk!
Li Yan lowered his eyelids, but he understood his aning, and the corners of his mouth revealed a cold smile, saying, "Sure enough, your thoughts are the deepest!"
Gong Chenli responded, "Well, we are alike in that regard!"
Li Yan hid Gu Tong well!
While Gong Chenli’s Xia Xi, in contrast, was exposed under the sunlight...
He couldn’t allow Xia Xi to be in any danger, and precisely because of this, he held onto Li Yan’s fear point.
Though this approach might be sowhat despicable...
It was unavoidable!
"One’s woman! It’s most reliable to protect her yourself."
Gong Chenli had clearly just stubbed out his cigarette, but the craving hit him again, and he lit another one!
When burdened with worries, smokers tend to smoke more frequently...
Indeed, he was sowhat nervous still!
Li Yan glanced at him but didn’t want to continue inhaling the smoke; he stood up and said calmly, "I won’t show any rcy to the Ouyang’s old allies! This ti, no one can protect them, and neither should you switch sides at the last minute!"
Their relationship stood at opposite ends of the scale, with any slight tilt leading to complete destruction!
Therefore, they both tightly gripped each other’s hands, leaving no room for any last-minute decisions; perhaps this was the weakest aspect of their collaboration, easily shattered and unable to withstand any attack.
