Chapter 1483: Chapter 1482: Gu Tong, Xia Xi, Han Shang!
Gu Tong, Xia Xi, Han Shang!
These three people who seemed to have nothing to do with each other now turned out to be connected.
Gong Chenli recalled the contents of the phone call and said, "So you’re here to confirm this."
Exactly.
Just now, Xia Xi had completely exposed herself, and in the process sold Gu Tong out as well.
"That’s right." Li Yan lowered his eyelids, then took out a file folder and said, "According to my investigation, I’ve found three key points of information. First, neither Xia Xi nor Gu Tong has ever been abroad. Second, Han Shang came to Longxing Country once when she was eight years old and used to live in the East District. However, whether we look at immigration records or other points of contact, according to the records from previous years, apart from that overlap when they were eight, there is no way they could’ve known each other again."
They might have known each other before they were eight...
At that age, what’s the use?
Gong Chenli let out a long breath and said, "Xia Xi was raised in the Lin Family like an abandoned child. Later she lived with me, and even meeting Gu Tong was an accident, let alone Han Shang."
"Which is why there’s a problem here, isn’t there?" Li Yan curled his lips slightly and said, "Third, I checked: a few days ago, Han Shang came to Longxing Country. The place she went to was City C, which was exactly when Xia Xi and Gu Tong were out on a mission."
"This..."
The problem really was getting bigger and bigger.
Gong Chenli understood how serious this was and said, "Three people who’ve never intersected before—where could they have met? In a dream?"
As soon as he said that, the whole world seemed to fall into silence.
Right...
In a dream...
Could it really be in a dream.
...
On the other side.
Department store.
Gu Tong sped all the way, heading straight to the third floor.
She stood near the elevator entrance waiting, nerves frayed and on edge.
Just now, Xia Xi had made it clear on the phone: this time it was Li Yan who took the initiative to go look for Gong Chenli.
That could only prove one thing—Li Yan was already suspicious.
Once that thought took shape, Gu Tong found herself unable to calm down at all.
Her palms were slick with cold sweat; she didn’t dare imagine the trouble that might follow.
By the time Xia Xi rushed over, five minutes had already passed. Wearing high heels, she ran straight up to Gu Tong and said, "Xue Tong... what’s going on..."
Gu Tong glared at her, but said nothing.
Without another word, Gu Tong dragged Xia Xi into a shop, grabbed two sets of skirts at random, and shoved Xia Xi into the fitting room.
At first Xia Xi was a bit dazed, but she quickly understood what Gu Tong meant.
Gu Tong was worried they were being tailed.
Xia Xi hurriedly started changing clothes and asked, "You slipped up?"
Gu Tong frowned. "No."
Xia Xi was stunned. "If you didn’t slip up, why would Li Yan go to the Demon King’s house..."
"..." Gu Tong couldn’t figure that part out either.
She clearly hadn’t said anything, and nothing unusual had happened recently.
So why did Li Yan go looking for Gong Chenli to investigate this?
Gu Tong puzzled over it again and again and said, "Maybe he just feels uneasy inside."
"..." The Devil King feels uneasy, so he has to drag our Demon King into it...
Xia Xi felt like crying; she could only think she’d been dragged into this while lying flat.
While they were talking, Xia Xi had already finished changing and asked, "So what do we do now?"
We can’t just sit here and wait to die...
Gu Tong shot her a look and said, "You ask me, who am I supposed to ask?"
"..." If I don’t ask you, who am I supposed to ask...
