Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 655 - 654: Are you kidding?
"Go on, Duke... You must be joking..."
Such a massive operation, and it’s actually mobilized by the local police department, it’s hard for a certain deputy to believe it even at the cost of his life.
Unless there’s something...
There must be something undisclosed...
Otherwise, the Duke would never deploy the entire team...
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
Li Yan, with a stern demeanor and a perpetually serious expression, prevented any further doubts from the deputy.
Because he knows his own Duke, only in the most crucial battles would he be compelled to mobilize the entire regiment; this is no joke.
But...
If seen this way, this mission becomes non-negotiable...
"Duke, how did the local police manage to enlist your help?"
The infamous Devil King, with a record of zero mission failures.
If they could get his assistance, any case would become simple; this might be what they call the talent effect.
"It’s not considered a request, more like lending a hand."
Li Yan lowered his eyelids and briefly explained the cause and effect, mostly how he got involved in Qi Difei’s mission.
After all, that was the root of everything.
If this wasn’t explained clearly, even after listening to the end, it would still be confusing.
The deputy was dumbfounded, never expecting the lady and the Duke to be caught up in the turmoil.
Moreover, judging by the Duke’s expression, he seemed quite infuriated by the Drug Lord...
"The Duke means... this time, it’s an inside-outside collaboration, and the lady is involved... Is the lady the internal liaison in this mission?"
The deputy asked with some confusion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the vehicle plummeted to freezing point.
Biting cold winds and snow covering everything, the atmosphere inside the vehicle could be described as ice-cold.
Li Yan’s face passed slightly overcast as he gripped the steering wheel tightly and said word by word, "Gu Tong is hospitalized."
"What..." The lady is hospitalized, just how serious is it for such consequences...
"Lie She used goods worth a hundred thousand and a small amount of Bomb, sending it to our temporary residence, luring local investigators, attempting to frame us. As Special Service, we can’t reveal our identities, so Gu Tong mixed disinfectant and hot water together to create toxic gas, and she got poisoned."
"That gas is very potent; had it been a moment later, Gu Tong would have perished in the Netherworld. After urgent rescue, her life was saved, but she hasn’t woken up yet and is lying in the hospital. Ha, Lie She is cruel and ruthless. I can’t let such things happen again, Lie She must be eliminated, or I will never be at ease, nor can I stand by!"
The deputy had followed Li Yan for so long, it was the first time he saw him so angry.
Because of a mission, the whole person is in a berserk state.
Even directly deploying the team, ready to overthrow the Drug Lord’s stronghold.
"A man is willing to risk everything for a beautiful woman," this is exactly it.
The Duke seems indifferent, but in reality, he cherishes the lady to the core. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Now that the lady is hurt, if the Duke doesn’t make them pay, he won’t be Devil King.
"But, Duke, without consulting the locals on this matter, could there be a problem?" The deputy felt deeply worried, even though he highly trusts Li Yan, he was still afraid that in his rage, problems might arise.
"Not for the time being!" Li Yan rotated the steering wheel, speaking in a calm voice, "In fact, the locals overlooked the most important thing, whether Lie She transacts doesn’t matter, what matters is whether he has goods on hand."
