Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 697 - 696: Still pretending, get up.

The surveillance camera is switched off.

Gu Tong, disguised as a female assassin, focused her eyes as the red dots gradually turned black. At the same time, her swift actions left barely any time to react.

"Stop pretending, get up!"

Without a word, she kicked Xie Yongfei and Li Yunping, who were lying on the ground. The two had thrown themselves into the role, still caught up in the throes of agony.

Gu Tong’s kick snapped them back to their senses.

They quickly flipped up like carp jumping over the dragon gate, stood up, and then looked at Gu Tong with an ingratiating smile, "Officer, we performed well, didn’t we?"

Gu Tong: "..."

The question momentarily stumped Gu Tong. Upon careful consideration, it turned out these two were the only Royal Doctors available in Class Five.

Their medical skills were just average, but their acting was outstanding. Indeed, the trainees from Class Five are born thespians, destined for jobs after their transition from military service.

Of course, Gu Tong was never one to praise to people’s faces, so these thoughts stayed within her mind and were not spoken aloud.

"Cut the crap, hurry up and complete the surgery!"

The precious time they fought to earn was but a temporary ruse to blind the Qi Family’s eyes, and wouldn’t last for long.

Relying on time to stall the Qi Family was a perilous endeavor.

Because the Qi Family was highly suspicious; even knowing the hospital’s current situation, they wouldn’t sit still waiting. Instead, they’d find other ways, sending people to re-assess truth and falsehoods.

In such a scenario, the only way was to quickly end the surgery on Lie She and transfer it rapidly to ensure safety.

After all, the Provincial City was one of the Qi Family’s territories. If one wished to move subtly here, it wouldn’t take much effort.

But beyond the Provincial City, it wouldn’t be the same. Outside the city, the Qi Family couldn’t reach, making it harder for them to take action.

Previously, Li Yan had already submitted an application to the Academy, requesting Lie She be held in a special prison for offenders. This way, Lie She’s safety is secured, absolute confidentiality maintained, preventing the Qi Family from catching wind, and also not disrupting the Provincial City’s undercover plans, achieving multiple objectives at once.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

With the officer’s orders given, Xie Yongfei and Li Yunping dared not slack off. They rushed to Lie She’s side without hesitation and continued the surgical procedure.

Actually, Lie She’s surgery was mostly done, with only the final stitching step remaining. As long as the two worked together, completing it in a short time was entirely feasible.

With no further ado, they hurriedly removed the bags of plasma that Gu Tong had just used, revealing a thin isolation film beneath, to prevent the plasma from contaminating the wound.

Time was pressing, and they had only ten minutes left for the operation, so they moved even faster.

Having completed the first phase of the plan, beads of sweat covered Gu Tong’s forehead. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This mission adopted an unconventional, risky strategy to subdue the enemy, a last-ditch effort. Whether the Qi Family could be trusted hinged on this moment.

In truth, Gu Tong persevered with the mission not just because of the Qi Family’s challenge in the Provincial City, seeking to help.

She was simply afraid of her man facing punishment, thus the spontaneous choice to use this method to stabilize the situation in the Provincial City.

Once the Provincial City’s situation stabilized, they’d be seen as heroes, a result that even if the leadership had anything to say, it would be pointless.

Gu Tong’s inner anxiety eased somewhat, a rare peace slowly rose.
