Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 744 - 743: Why have you been hiding your identity for so many years?
A thick stack of documents was placed on the table.
It made a slight "thump" sound.
Gu Tong glanced at it but barely listened to Gu Qing speak before she picked up the materials from the table.
This was something she had obtained through immense hardship across two lifetimes; how could she bear to give it up?
"..." Gu Qing looked at his sister’s unwavering actions, his lips twitched a couple of times, and he stopped speaking.
Participating in such a task, everyone had the right to choose for themselves. Even though he was an officer, he had no way to forcibly change someone’s will, so he could only respect the joint decision.
The brown paper envelope looked quite hefty and felt heavy in her hand. Gu Tong’s palm was slightly sweaty, and the tension in her heart was indescribable.
She moved cautiously and slowly, carefully grabbing the string hanging on it, then unwound it loop by loop.
Immediately, she impatiently pulled out the documents and first opened the confidentiality agreement. Without even taking a glance, she scribbled her name down with a flourish.
This decisiveness had long been planned, proving that Gu Tong’s resolve was firm.
"..." Does she have to be so decisive...
A slight hesitation would be okay; there was no need to be so straightforward.
Gu Tong signed her name as quickly as possible.
She ignored the confidentiality agreement and went straight for another stack of documents, which were crucial information about the ’夺尊’ task.
If Gu Tong read the contents on that paper, there would be no turning back.
However, she still did not hesitate, as if she had already been prepared.
Regarding past mysteries, Gu Tong had spent a lifetime exploring without answers.
In this lifetime, she finally had a chance to change her fate; she couldn’t afford to lose anything more.
Thinking of past events, thinking of those sad fragments, every minute, every second, not a scene was something Gu Tong was willing to relive...
Gu Tong’s dazzling black eyes focused on the content of the paper; just one look, but it was enough to make her pupils contract.
A strong sense of pain radiated out, even making it impossible for Gu Tong to extricate herself...
She couldn’t believe what she saw, even thinking it was a hallucination...
"Thud――"
Gu Tong slapped the documents onto the table, suddenly looked up, and said, "Are you telling me... Li Yan is a wealthy noble’s child... and also the only heir qualified to inherit the Li Family fortune? You’re not joking with me, are you..."
Her previous understanding was all shattered by the content on these few pages; the bandits she thought were cruel and vicious, those responsible for wanting to harm Li Yan, were actually his family or relatives...
"I knew you’d be shocked when you saw it."
Gu Qing pressed his lips together; such news, no matter who it would be, couldn’t possibly be accepted immediately, saying, "The information is provided by the organization and can ensure accuracy, so you need not doubt it! Of course, I think you have a lot of questions in your heart, so why not take this opportunity to speak them out, and I’ll answer them for you."
The purpose of Gu Qing’s visit this time was to remove all the questions in Gu Tong’s heart, just to relieve her concerns.
"Questions?"
She had a bunch of questions!
Her partner, whose identity suddenly changed to that of a wealthy noble child, the only heir of the Li Family, and he had to complete an extremely dangerous task. If Gu Tong could still remain calm, that would truly be unbelievable. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Why was Li Yan picked up by our father? And why hide his identity for so many years? Also, about this task, why did you all send him, knowing that his identity would be exposed, and even risk his life?"
