The completion of the mission requires direct contact with the target, this is truly seamless connection.
If too many people are involved, then things become complicated, and Gu Tong’s undercover infiltration this time would become meaningless.
Gu Tong sat in the Lincoln car, in a state of disarray, her mind pondering what to do next.
However, she wasn’t lost in thought for long before being abruptly interrupted by a questioning voice, saying, "You heard the conversation just now, didn’t you?"
Gong Chenli was sitting with his eyes closed, exuding an entirely calm demeanor, without any emotional fluctuation.
The coolness in his words had already been clearly conveyed.
"Sir, do you mean the conversation with Miss Lin..."
Gu Tong tentatively spoke, yet left room for Gong Chenli to fill in.
With such a question, she didn’t worry that Gong Chenli would suspect anything untoward, because he had brought this up himself, so Gu Tong’s counter-question was only natural.
Gong Chenli lowered his eyelids, appearing somewhat lazy, he said nonchalantly, "You heard everything! I believe there’s no need to repeat it."
In his heart, there was a measuring stick, capable of calculating and weighing! Likewise, he was carrying out his specific plan, if not for this, he wouldn’t have brought Gu Tong here, purposely letting her hear these words.
Gu Tong pursed her lips, and didn’t speak further...
Because she knew very well, that in such circumstances, whatever she said was meaningless!
Currently, Gu Tong was merely a pawn of Gong Chenli, positioned anywhere he wished! Everything depended entirely on his arrangement.
"In the next two days, I will arrange for someone to teach you Artifact Technique and Martial Arts! Train well, don’t slack off."
Gong Chenli’s words fell like a notification, to put it more strictly, it was an order.
Everything he had arranged was neatly organized.
"Why do I need to learn..."
Gu Tong probed again, mixed with a hint of confusion!
She hadn’t forgotten Gong Chenli’s primary requirement for selecting people, which was to understand Artifact Technique.
But what exactly was the reason...
Gu Tong couldn’t figure it out!
"I mentioned before, my nephew is returning!"
This was something Gu Tong already knew, yet she didn’t know what necessary connection there was.
Her thoughts never stopped, entirely fixated on pondering this matter, however, her emotions didn’t sustain for long, as Gong Chenli graciously explained for her--
"You will be responsible for staying by his side! Monitor all his actions and report to me regularly! Of course, if you find he’s having any treacherous thoughts, just eliminate him for me!"
Gong Chenli spoke casually, especially when mentioning eliminating him, he seemed as at ease as discussing the weather.
By this point, if Gu Tong still didn’t understand Gong Chenli’s true intentions, then she’d just be a fool missing a few strings. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
What Gong Chenli needed was an assassin, a compliant puppet! To divert suspicion, it ideally needs to be someone newly admitted to Xinyuan, so as not to arouse suspicion.
However, Gu Tong’s purpose for being here was undercover work, now she’s being used by him! Unconditionally following his orders, that’s where the real difficulty lay.
If it weren’t for the underlying conspiracy, Gong Chenli wouldn’t have specially gone to the trading market to buy ’goods’!
Everything had already been anticipated by Gong Chenli.
Yet, this plan of his had already disrupted the entire setup of the Academy!
If approaching Gong Chenli’s nephew meant leaving Gong Chenli, that would be as good as choosing a long detour, bringing numerous obstacles to the execution of the mission, not to mention ensuring the plan’s integrity, any issue arising midway would disrupt their original strategy!
