Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 819 - 818: I’m Your Dad
The next day.
A rare Sunday.
For Gu Tong, such a day is absolutely an excellent opportunity to relax.
No need to think about the Li Family’s affairs, nor teach students at the Academy, it’s simply delightful.
However--
There are always unexpected events.
’Ring ring ring--’
The internal phone number of the Academy appeared on the screen.
Gu Tong rested her chin in her hands, her bright eyes staring at the vibrating phone on the table, already finding ten thousand reasons not to answer the call.
’Buzz--’
The phone vibrated one last time and stopped struggling.
Hung up? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
This is not her not answering the phone; it was that she didn’t hear it! Perfect excuse.
A faint smile curved at the corners of Gu Tong’s lips, very satisfied with this answer.
’Ring ring ring--’
The phone continued to ring, just like a horrifying nightmare in the middle of the night.
"..." Gu Tong’s smile froze on her face.
Calling once and not picking up, then calling again. Who on earth is so persistent...
’Buzz buzz buzz--’
The vibrating phone rolled on the table.
It seemed to project the urgency from the other end of the line.
Thinking of this, Gu Tong rolled her eyes, picked up the call, and said, "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later!"
’Beep beep--’
The world returned to peace.
However...
’Ring ring ring--’
The person on the other end was relentless, continuing to call back.
Dammit! This won’t end...
Gu Tong picked up the phone again and said, "Hello..."
"It’s your dad!" roared Gu Tiancheng.
"The number you dialed..."
"I don’t want to call! I want to hit you!"
"...." So violent, Gu Tong trembled slightly and said, "Temporarily unavailable..."
"You’re not human!! You’re a ghost!!"
"...." Damn, he could even tell, she said, "Please try again later..." With that, Gu Tong took the phone away, ready to press the red hang-up button.
"You little brat, if you dare hang up the phone again, I’ll break your legs!" Gu Tiancheng’s angry roar transmitted with high clarity, echoing throughout the room.
Gu Tong’s mouth twitched a couple of times, forcing her to bring the phone back to her ear and say, "Hey, Dad, I wasn’t fully awake just now, still sleepwalking. What’s up?"
Being submissive when needed is Gu Tong’s usual principle of action. Besides, don’t get the old man too angry.
Gu Tiancheng: "..."
This damned girl...
Gu Tiancheng picked up the large teacup on the table, took a gulp of water, forcibly calming his anger, and said, "The human trafficker nationally wanted has appeared in Shoucheng. This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the East District Academy! You and Li Yan’s temporary identities are not yet stable. To solidify them, the organization has decided to assign this task to you two!"
Damn...
Assign my ass...
They’re already on the ’Seize the Throne’ mission, one teaching at the National Medical College and the other as a temporary instructor at the local Academy.
Now they’re given a task to capture a human trafficker, leaving even less private time for her and Li Yan. If these newlyweds are willing, then hell must have frozen over...
"Hey... hey, hey, this... signal’s bad, hey, hey..."
"Damn girl! Don’t pretend with me!"
Gu Tiancheng slapped the table and almost shattered it with one blow.
"...." Gu Tong could hear her dad’s yelling even through the phone.
"Brat, I’m telling you! This matter is of great significance, and it’s closely tied with our East District Academy. The joint investigation was specially applied for with the higher-ups! You have to go whether you want to or not!"
