Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 111 Sky's Hidden Enemy?

Chapter 111 Sky's Hidden Enemy?

Jun let a frosty smile lift his lips. "He is Gu Rong's son, Gu Yating. It seems like he has his own connections."

"But it's impossible to learn about your identity!" Yunru was extremely tense. "I thought we hid it well…"

"I think he learned that the President and CEO are related. That's how he made the connection," his dark eyes squinted dangerously.

But wait…

Jun was suddenly struck with another thought.

If Gu Yating could find out about my identity through his influence, then he must have done it the same way in my past life too.

"Bro, what will we do now?"

It means that he never needed to send a spy in Sky to learn about me.

"What if he uses it to his advantage?" Yunru asked, concerned. "Shit, who knew Gu Yating was from a wealthy family? He really didn't make his presence known like a rich young master."

Huh? This doesn't make any sense.

"Plus, he is only the Chief Editor. He could easily become the CEO of Dream High if he wants. Isn't it, Bro?"

If he didn't need it, then he wouldn't have sent any spy in the first Are you listening?"

Then who sent the spy in my past life?

"Brooooo?"

"...I will call you back, Yunru."

"Huh? Okay. But do it quickly! We need to think of something to deal with Gu Yating somehow. Bye!"

Jun's hand which held the phone ever so slowly lowered. He stared at the crescent swing, lost in trying to reason out this discrepancy.

Gu Yating…Why didn't this strike me last night?

"Something is wrong. It was him who exposed my identity to the world. But sending a spy doesn't add up when he can just use his influence. The latter is easier. A spy involves more risk."

Then does that mean…it wasn't him who exposed me?

He tilted his head trying to understand the sequence of events that occurred in his past life. Until now, he concluded that due to the intense rivalry between Sky and Dream High, Yating leaked out his identity just when the time was ripe. Jun's reputation was ruined after getting violent with Jin, and soon after, he was revealed as the CEO.

But considering how Yating figured him out last night, nothing made sense anymore.

If it's not Gu Yating, then…

His pupils were shrouded with danger and threat.

Who else is Sky's enemy that I am not aware of?

Jun arrived at the library the next day as usual. Mrs. Quan Su greeted him with a warm smile. "Jun. Good morning."

"Good morning," he replied with a flat tone.

"Where is Ai? Don't you two always come together?"

Jun froze.

Mrs. Quan Su suddenly felt as if the air became darker inside.

It's such a sunny day!

With Mrs. Quan's question, Jun remembered how he miscalled Ai just before leaving his condo. _?

"Ai! Where are you?"

When he didn't get a response was when it struck him that Ai had already moved out. He came the whole way carrying an extremely sour mood.

Now her question only added oil to the fire.

"...She has moved out."

Mrs. Quan furrowed her brows, and then her expression changed a moment later. "Oh! Is her apartment's repair work done? That's great!"

Flaring his nostrils, he shot her a lethal, cold stare. "What is so great about that?"

"..."

"What do you mean? It was supposed to be only temporary. Now, you and Ai would have your own space again," she chirped. "I know how much you treasure your alone time."

His brow twitched in annoyance.

"Unless…" Mrs. Quan Su meaningfully smiled. "You have gotten used to living with Ai. Now, you wish you could live with her forever."

Jun strangely felt like she hit a bullseye, which made him furthermore frustrated.

"Of course not! Why would I wish for that?" He wanted to say a lot of things but couldn't find his words. "You…you talk too much!"

"..."

He swiftly left for the third floor huffing in anger.

Mrs. Quan Su giggled. "Aish, young love…It's so cute when he tries to deny it."

—

Jun dumped his bag on his desk, opened his water bottle and drank several sips of water.

Mrs. Quan being a busybody. She doesn't understand anything! Why would I want to live with Ai forever?

Jun opened his laptop but glanced at the seat where Ai always worked.

She always comes at the same time as I, so why isn't she here yet?

Realizing that his thoughts wandered off towards Ai again, he slapped his cheeks hard.

"Focus! Focus, Jun! I don't care if she comes or not! I cannot waste anymore time. I have more important things to do."

One of them being finding out the person who sent the spy in his past life.

The more Jun thought about it, the more he began to feel that Yating wasn't behind it after all.

Even now as he checked the news, there was nothing about Sky CEO's revelation which indicated that Yating didn't use this information yet. Though it could be possible that he might be waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal his identity just like it happened in the past life - the compulsion for sending a spy by Yating diminished the chances of him being involved.

The laptop screen shone bright in front of him, but Jun was puzzled on what to do next.

If not Yating, then who else is Sky's enemy? Any other publishing house?

But the smaller publishing houses wouldn't have the guts to mess with either Sky or Dream High.

Jun gave it deep thought, thinking about all possible scenarios. But nobody came to his mind.

He sighed in frustration and leaned back in his chair.

For the sake of Sky's future, it was important to eliminate this unknown threat as soon as possible.

His phone rang, and he picked it without looking at the number.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Liu Jun?"

"Yes. What is it?"

As he heard the other person speak, Jun widened his eyes and sat up straight. He spoke after a pause, his expression grave. "I am coming."
