Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 698 - 697: Completely lost the initiative

No matter how intense the disturbances at night, the day will still dawn.

The entire Provincial City once again returned to its usual tranquility. Ordinary citizens continued their day-to-day lives, without any change.

However, just yesterday.

The prosecutors in the Provincial City were in an uproar, and it wasn’t until noon that the situation finally improved and settled down.

In the Provincial City, the prosecutor’s conference room was filled with high-ranking officials, all with somber expressions. Dozens of eyes were fixed on the composed couple opposite, as if waiting for some kind of explanation.

They roughly knew what had happened yesterday. Now, an explanation was needed.

Fang Yiqing coughed dryly, hinting at Gu Tong. If last night was the eve of battle, then now was the start of another unsmoking warfare...

Of course, what he was most looking forward to was Gu Tong’s Confrontation Technique, to see how she would refute all the prosecutors’ words.

"I believe all of you are aware of last night’s special action! Trainees were dispatched, places were raided, causing a great disturbance in the Provincial City. We weren’t prepared at all, nor was it a task decided by the Provincial City. What exactly is this sudden action all about?"

Chu Xianhong, the highest official in the Provincial City, spoke, and his first sentence was a question.

He was hoping for a reasonable explanation.

After all, deploying trainees privately was no small matter; they needed a sufficient reason.

However, Li Yan, one of the parties involved, had no intention of responding. He held a cup of warm tea, tasting it leisurely, without uttering a single word.

This situation made the already oppressive room feel even more tense, with the silence nearly suffocating everyone.

Chu Xianhong, already on the brink of losing control, grew even angrier. He slapped the table in fury and was about to speak, but before he could utter a sound, he was interrupted.

"Right, that’s also my question. The Provincial City’s inspection system is well-coordinated, how could they let the Devil King force out the trainees, raid places, and cause such a mess? In my mind, the leaders of the Provincial City are quite reasonable, there’s no reason they wouldn’t cooperate with the work, right!"

Gu Tong’s calm voice emerged, and her words were enough to leave everyone astonished.

They looked incredulously at this woman who turned black into white, forcibly placing the blame on the Provincial City.

She outrightly made it seem as though it was the Provincial City forcing the Devil King, an utterly unreasonable act!

"I’m only stating the established facts!"

Gu Tong cast a brilliant gaze at the prosecutors, speaking leisurely, "Actually, our involvement in this special task was purely coincidental, and I believe all senior leaders should be aware of it."

"Of course, the reason we did so is entirely down to the sacred duty of the trainees. In the middle of the night, there was no time to report to the leaders. Are we expected to just stand by and watch Lie She allow the Qi Family to silence people, cutting off the only source of information? Stand by and watch the mission fail completely? In such an urgent situation, I think, as a trainee from Longxing Country, no one would remain inactive, just standing by with folded arms!"

"Furthermore, there’s a saying that extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. On the battlefield, acting first and reporting later frequently occurs. Is this battle strategy only for the enemy, and we can’t use it?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Fang Yiqing almost choked on his tea, feeling that Gu Tong’s words were daring and bold.

It seemed she was indirectly reminding the prosecutors that without them, this task couldn’t have progressed at all.

Chu Xianhong’s face turned ashen, almost driven to rage by Gu Tong’s words, forcing him to swallow half of his intended questioning, completely losing control.

Actually, he hadn’t forgotten the reason for the Devil King’s involvement in the task, and he was very grateful for his cooperation. However, merits and faults need to be separated distinctly...

Nevertheless, Gu Tong’s few words of reminder forced him to remember that they changed the passive situation of the Provincial City police through their sudden action.
