Chapter 1484: Chapter 1483: Uh, It’s That King Yan...
Xia Xi rolled her eyes and said, "We’re already exposed, but we can’t just confess directly... If we do that, won’t we be a little dumb?"
Gu Tong chimed in, saying, "Before, they couldn’t find any clues, but now that they have, why can’t we reveal the truth? Our perspective has to change from how it was in the past."
Before, they thought about playing dumb before the reveal, but now they’re thinking about the response after the reveal.
Geez...
This really is a difficult problem.
Xia Xi was on the verge of tears, saying, "This happened at your house, you have to handle it..."
Gu Tong also changed clothes but ignored her, pushing open the dressing room door and said, "If I had a solution, I wouldn’t drag you out to brainstorm ideas!"
Sometimes Xia Xi was smart, sometimes she was dumb. If not hoping for strength in numbers, Gu Tong would never consult her for ideas.
"..." Do you have to be so straightforward, huh? It really hurts!
The two changed clothes and walked out of the dressing room, heading straight to the front desk.
Gu Tong tossed a card onto the table and said to Xia Xi, "When we traveled, we met him! They both have strong intelligence networks. There’s no reason they wouldn’t find out, so our only consideration now is one thing!"
"What thing?"
Gu Tong prepared to enter the password, saying, "How to bluff our way through!"
"..." Ugh, who else to try to fool but those two geniuses, good grief!
If they could be fooled, that would indeed be a miracle.
The saleswoman suddenly spoke up, saying, "Miss, your clothes have already been paid for."
Paid by someone?
Gu Tong looked up, puzzled.
The saleswoman pointed towards the entrance, saying, "That gentleman over there paid for it."
Gu Tong and Xia Xi both turned their heads, and in the next second, the corners of their mouths twitched simultaneously.
Geez...
This is a trap!
Han Shang stood at the entrance, followed by members of the Sicuro Mafia behind him.
He quickly stepped forward, gesturing with his eyes for his men to take the bags.
Han Shang smiled like a breeze, saying, "Xue Tong is ready to acknowledge me."
Gu Tong: "..." This conversation died, how do I respond?
Xia Xi: "..." Go Xue Tongtong, it’s all up to you.
Han Shang saw Gu Tong didn’t respond and slightly raised his eyebrows, saying, "You didn’t come to find me?"
Gu Tong: "..." When did I ask for you?
Xia Xi: "..." Who called this guy?
Han Shang paused, but he understood something. He took out his phone, opened the text messages, and saw the message sent not long ago.
It simply read: ’Third floor, department store, Xue Tong!’
The timing clearly matched when Xia Xi and Gu Tong finished their call.
Gu Tong was about to burst with frustration; no need to guess, this was Li Yan’s doing.
Gu Tong coughed and said, "I say... I didn’t send that message, do you believe me?"
Han Shang disappointedly put away the phone but firmly believed Gu Tong’s explanation because her expression clearly shouted, ’I know nothing about this.’
"So who contacted me?" Han Shang reverted to his cold demeanor, his attitude noticeably chilly as he seemed very displeased, saying, "Devil King?"
Gu Tong: "..." Yes, it appears to be him.
Xia Xi: "..." Uh, it’s that King Yan...
Gu Tong inwardly sighed, but in the next instant, she suddenly realized something and said, "You know him?"
If he didn’t know Li Yan, how could he mention Devil King?
