Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 669 - 668: Threats from King Yan (Part 2)

Tie Ma, walking on the steel wire, had always worried that one day the wire would break.

However, after following Lie She for many years and frequently succeeding in deals, he never made a single mistake, and this was the final deal.

Thus, he started considering himself a Drug Lord, seemingly on par with Lie She, and gradually, the concern over the steel wire breaking faded away.

Unexpectedly, this time, the steel wire really snapped, and in just one night, he found himself on a dead-end road. All his worries caused his mental world to collapse entirely. What he had to face, he had to face. The once invincible Tie Ma was finally about to turn into a dying horse.

Tie Ma, after many years outside, had his hands stained with countless blood, committing many ruthless acts.

He was also used to bloodshed and cruelty...

When all those ruthless acts he once inflicted on others were turned on himself, Tie Ma surprisingly found it not so hard to accept.

That which must come will come. This is fate...

Li Yan’s bright eyes reflected the pleading and compromise of Tie Ma. He was no longer the proud man he used to be, but rather filled with loneliness and sorrow.

Li Yan felt no sympathy for him, nor did he find anything about him pitiful.

Tie Ma had obtained everything through illegal means; how many lives had been lost, how many families destroyed, all had become an unknown number.

If one were to feel pity for such a person, that would be true cruelty!

Li Yan grasped Tie Ma’s chin with one hand, restricting his jaw, forcing it upward, compelling the latter to look into his eyes, saying, "I, as a person, am very fair-minded! As long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee the safety of your entire family. I mean what I say!"

He was originally just a Trainee, how could he truly threaten Tie Ma’s family! All this was merely to make Tie Ma cooperate with his aggressive methods.

"Brother Tan Ming, rest assured, I will definitely cooperate..."

Tie Ma’s body trembled, and the words he spoke seemed to expend all his strength.

He dared not shift his gaze from Li Yan’s eyes, as if fixed by some demon; the look from the abyss pulling him completely into the depths, unable to extricate himself over time.

"Actually, when you think about it, I and Brother Tie Ma have long been grasshoppers on the same rope! Brother Tie Ma has no way back for a long time, so why not join forces and carve out a piece of heaven!"

A cold smile touched Li Yan’s thin lips.

Tie Ma’s body turned cold in an instant.

Then he realized, remembering certain past stops, the windows gradually rolled down, and the look from former brothers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Suddenly understanding, he realized his actions back then were undoubtedly seen as betrayal to Lie She, never to return.

Dead either way, he had no more chances to choose...

Tie Ma couldn’t help but recall the old rumors, once more focusing on Li Yan before him.

Sick in bed, entirely dependent on the Black Widow for care, incapable of defending against a chicken, and a long-term burden on both Black Widow’s life and ’career’...

Indeed, rumors are just that, not to be taken seriously...

If such a person is a stumbling block, then perhaps there are no strong ones left in this world...

After much consideration, Tie Ma finally weighed his options, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, saying, "At the foot of the mountain, there’s a cave, created by the railway department for a cross-mountain project, specializing for trains and cars. This tunnel has been dug for five years, and is nearing completion..."

Tie Ma changed the topic abruptly to an apparently useless tunnel, leaving people momentarily clueless.

"Is this tunnel related to Lie She?"

Li Yan frowned, a certain possibility exploded in his mind until, finally, it began to take shape.

"It’s deeply related. This tunnel is a project outsourced by the Longxing Country railway department to a state-owned enterprise named Jiehan Engineering. However, the lower management of this state enterprise has been bought by Lie She..."
