Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 672 - 671: Threat from King Yan (Part 5)

"Yes..."

Tie Ma did not deny it, he directly admitted with a bitter smile and said, "Having followed the big brother for so long, I understand his character. He’s cautious and doesn’t trust anyone. If people know about something fatal, and he still keeps me around, that would really be rare..."

"However, I never thought of harming him, I just wanted to protect myself by looking for a second supplier capable of replacing the Qi Family. Da Fei’s needs are no less than those of the Qi Family, so I had to come up with ideas..."

"But, I didn’t expect that Brother Lie She was so determined to retire from this life, even going so far as to have me attack the Black Widow, with no intention of cooperating with her. I suppose he’s had enough of the blood-soaked days, which are truly a torment..."

For once, Tie Ma was pouring out his heart. Between life and death, the words spoken were genuine.

"The last time you sent things, you kind of reminded me!"

Li Yan tapped his long index finger on his knee.

He had noticed something unusual early on, because according to Lie She’s original plan, there was no need for Tie Ma to draw a weapon against him! All he would have done was give a warning of danger!

"I dared not disobey Brother Lie She’s orders, thinking that the Black Widow’s reputation and experience would surely have a way out, and a word of warning was the least I could do..."

Tie Ma smiled appeasingly, revealing a willingness to switch allegiances.

However, his current demeanor was mixed with deceit.

That day, Tie Ma’s intentions were not hard to guess; he simply did not want Gu Tong to fall victim and hoped she could struggle and fight to the death with Lie She.

So that...

Tie Ma would have a chance to survive!

Ultimately, it was all for himself; there was no real righteousness as it appeared.

However, the world is indeed like this, with many hypocrites who can manipulate truth and lies, something not easily learned.

"I remember the kindness of that day! If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have spared your life!"

Li Yan lifted his hand slightly to support his chin, his thin lips opened, "Actually, I think Lie She told you! He suspected our identities. The chaos at the Emperor Middle School back then blew over without a scratch and we could still procure goods in large quantities in the Provincial City. He must have thought I was related to a rival faction of the Qi Family."

Clarifying the cause and effect, Li Yan found it easy to analyze Lie She’s true intentions. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Back then, the information provided by Qi Difei was not comprehensive, and even with Royal’s analysis skills, they couldn’t fully deduce the actual situation, which led to the oversight.

But as of now, according to Tie Ma’s accounts!

Li Yan had already figured out everything clearly.

In short, Lie She was just being cowardly, afraid of provoking major forces again, so he simply decided to eliminate any threats at the root.

"Yes..." Tie Ma admitted once more.

After all, he was the only one who knew these things at the time, so it wasn’t surprising that Lie She consulted with him, "This time, Brother Lie She was genuinely scared out of his wits. With the Black Widow’s infamous reputation, coupled with possibly being a rival family, not being afraid would be like seeing a ghost..."

It’s the guilty conscience of a thief, an evil with blood on his hands trying to reform into an honest, ordinary person!

Yet constantly needing to guard against the lurking dangers around, the internal torment is something only few can bear, or understand...

However, in the end, this is self-inflicted punishment!
