Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 865 - 864: The Stalker

Time rushed by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

After Devil King covered three classes, he said there was an urgent matter at the Academy and hurried back.

As for Gu Tong, she waited until around three o’clock before leaving the school.

When Li Yan left, he didn’t drive his car away, so she followed the route from yesterday, carefully observing her surroundings.

Gu Tong turned a corner, leaving the vicinity of the school, but didn’t notice anything unusual.

If she remembered correctly, the day before yesterday, it was here that she clearly felt she was being followed.

Moreover, the tracker was very obvious at that time, relentlessly close; if she sped up, they sped up, if she slowed down, they slowed down—it was easy to detect, clearly not a skilled person.

’Shala—’

Gu Tong took two steps forward, only to feel two or three faint footsteps behind her, which were undetectable unless one listened carefully.

Her heart tightened, a sense of danger arose; she stepped her left foot onto her right shoe’s lace, causing it to come undone.

She naturally paused, squatted down to tie her laces, appearing inconspicuous.

’Shala, shala—’

The footsteps behind continued, but the rhythm changed noticeably, the speed slowed, and the distance closed.

This was the difference between taking large steps and small steps; the tracker would surely adjust their pace to avoid detection.

Of course, all this was based on remaining undiscovered.

Sure enough, she was being followed!

Gu Tong lowered her eyes and continued tying her shoes.

However, she was aware that this time the tracker was clearly not the same person as before!

Because this time, the tracking skills were high; if not for her prior vigilance, she might not have noticed at all.

Could it be that the other party is really from the human trafficking organization!

Did Gong Qingwan hire an expert to deal with her?

Gu Tong speculated continually, but didn’t maintain the posture for long and instead got up naturally.

Lingering too much would trigger defensive thoughts in the other party, causing them to abandon the tracking—something they didn’t want.

They intended to completely eradicate the trafficking organization, willing to use themselves as bait if necessary.

Thinking this, Gu Tong didn’t hesitate and continued along her original route.

...

The underground parking lot wasn’t far from the school, and the walking time wasn’t long.

Gu Tong only walked for a while before reaching it.

She strolled through the dark path ahead, heading toward where her car was parked.

The underground parking was vast, with a lot of echo; footsteps would naturally be amplified several times.

Since Gu Tong was being followed, the loud footsteps would undoubtedly expose her presence.

However, under the same conditions, this disadvantage applied to both parties; the other party would face the same problem!

Both parties were equally disturbed by the environment, unable to avoid it, making it easier to judge each other’s position accurately.

In this situation, both sides’ actions would be restricted.

The car was about ten meters away from Gu Tong, just a few steps at her pace and speed.

Yet, even so, the other party showed no desire to speed up!

Just following? Without taking any action? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

That seemed too abnormal.

Gu Tong, deep in thought, slightly accelerated her pace and opened the car door.
