A single sentence fell to the ground, and the atmosphere grew heavier.
Gu Tong’s counterattack was executed perfectly, forcing Lie She to the utmost and clearly stating her stance!
That is, she was new to the Provincial City, an outsider! Not trusting anyone was the right choice.
Blindly trusting others would not fit the role she was playing, and such an outco was not what she wanted at all.
Gu Tong’s attitude was clear, though her words were calm, her unwavering stance was evident.
Lie She realized he’d overstepped, after all, this was not his business, and even probing required less extre asures.
If he aroused others’ suspicion, wouldn’t he have fallen into his own trap, bringing trouble upon himself!
"Sister, don’t think this way! I’m just worried you’ll cause trouble, after all, the Provincial City is different from other areas. If sothing happens by accident, it won’t be easy to handle!"
This sentence was obviously a threat, further warning Gu Tong not to be too arrogant as the Provincial City was still Lie She’s domain, and he called the shots—
However, such behavior proved that he temporarily trusted Gu Tong’s identity!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t use such oppressive language to threaten her.
"No need to worry about !"
Gu Tong took a sip of red wine, relaxed and without a trace of tension. She crossed her legs, showing no fear, and casually glanced at Tie Ma, saying, "Earlier, I heard this brother say that Da Fei was working with you?"
"Cooperation depends on how it’s done! You can’t just talk a bit and consider it cooperation, hahaha—"
Lie She raised an eyebrow and smoothly pulled a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and continued, "Your brother has a big appetite; if I said I wasn’t tempted, that would be a lie! However, he lacks reputation, and the amount of goods he wants is large. Initially, I was puzzled, but after seeing you, sister, I realized he had a client!"
Daring to cause such a stir in the Provincial City, Gu Tong was the first.
Lie She, while not boasting, still held sway when it ca to reputation.
A woman coming to the Provincial City and daring to act this domineeringly, not giving him any face, she was indeed the first Lie She had seen since his debut, perhaps a truly capable person!
Lie She was filled with doubts.
But without investigation, he couldn’t determine Gu Tong’s true identity, leaving him confused.
The conversation paused again...
Everyone present made no move.
Li Yan casually draped an arm over Gu Tong’s shoulder, whispered in her ear, "It seems Da Fei wasn’t lying to us! With the family situation so chaotic, he actually had the sense to step out and handle the goods himself."
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, requiring careful attention to hear clearly.
However...
In such a quiet environnt, it wasn’t difficult for others to hear clearly.
"Hmm, makes so sense."
Gu Tong lowered her eyelids, no longer in the irritable mood from before.
She pondered many things, foremost among them, if she were truly the Black Widow, how exactly she would act—
According to the data, the Black Widow had no dealings with Lie She, such a large transaction would not be easily conducted.
Because of this—
Gu Tong set down her glass, her eyes fixated on Lie She, then glanced at Tie Ma, saying, "It’s hard on this brother! Because of our family matters, you’ve been dragged into a special investigation! But this counts as an unacquainted eting! If not for this brother, we wouldn’t have t!"
She only said half of the words! The rest were left unsaid, whether the deal would continue, who she really was, none of that was ntioned at all.
