Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

I felt a sharp pain, as if my soul was being torn apart.

I couldn't help but let out a painful groan, and my body went limp.

"Miao Qing!" Gong Lin called my name anxiously, "What's wrong? Miao Qing!"

I struggled to open my eyes and saw Gong Lin's anxious face. He held me tightly, as if trying to pull me out of my pain.

His embrace was warm and strong, giving me a sense of security.

I took a hard breath and managed a weak smile.

"I...I'm fine, I just suddenly feel...a little dizzy." My voice was weak and feeble, but I didn't want him to worry too much.

Gong Lin's eyes were still full of worry. He gently stroked my hair and said softly, "Sit down for a while, I'll call the doctor right away."

“No need…” I shook my head weakly. “I just need to rest for a while, really.”

Gong Lin finally nodded, but his gaze remained uneasy.

I tried to regulate my breathing and calm my inner unease.

The warning from the mysterious creature still echoed in my ears; I couldn't let anyone know of its existence, especially Miya Rin.

But I also understand that if I don't find a way to terminate the contract soon, it might completely ruin me.

“Gong Lin…” I said in a low voice, “I need your help.”

Gong Lin immediately tensed up. He gripped my hand tightly and looked at me with unwavering eyes: "Whatever you need, I will help you."

I took a deep breath and decided to tell him something, but not everything: "I... I need you to look into something for me, about... some special contracts."

Gong Lin's gaze sharpened slightly, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find the answer as soon as possible."

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Secretary Chen walked in.

His gaze swept over us.

“Young Master Gong,” Secretary Chen said respectfully, but with a hint of coldness in his voice, “the documents you requested have been prepared.”

Gong Lin frowned slightly, but did not respond immediately.

He looked at me, his eyes full of concern: "You rest here for a while, I have some things to take care of."

I nodded, and Gong Lin then stood up, gesturing for Secretary Chen to follow.

As the two walked out of the office, Secretary Chen's voice could be faintly heard from outside the door: "Young Master Gong, are you really sure you want to trust her so much? She might become a burden to you."

Gong Lin's voice was deep and firm: "Secretary Chen, you're meddling in other people's business. You don't need to worry about Miao Qing's affairs."

Hearing this, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart, but at the same time, I also felt a sense of unease.

Secretary Chen's dissatisfaction was obvious, but I couldn't let these negative emotions affect me.

I must be more cautious about the mysterious creature's demands, and at the same time, expedite the search for a way to break the contract.

Just as I was deep in thought, the voice of the mysterious creature suddenly rang in my mind: "If you do not meet my demands soon, you will bear the consequences."

My heart tightened, but I didn't show much emotion.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and silently replied in my heart: "I will not give up, and I will definitely find a way to break the contract."

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Gong Lin: "I've already arranged for someone to investigate. Don't worry."

I opened my eyes and saw the words on my phone screen, and a surge of strength welled up inside me.

I stood up, and although I was still a little weak, my determination was even stronger.

I cannot be intimidated by the threat of the mysterious creature, nor can I let Secretary Chen's cold words affect our relationship.

I walked out of the office and headed towards the research lab, with only one thought in my mind: **No matter what, I must find a way to break the contract and regain control of my own destiny.**

**

Just then, my phone vibrated again, and a message appeared on the screen: "I see your determination. We'll face this together." — Gong Lin.

I bit my fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the ancient jade stone.

A sharp pain shot through my fingertips, but even stronger was the surge of power within me—a strange feeling of connection to a mysterious creature.

I could feel it greedily sucking my blood, while at the same time conveying some vague messages to me.

"Not enough, far from enough!" it screamed in my mind, the voice sharp and piercing, making my scalp tingle.

I endured the discomfort and pricked my fingertip again, letting the blood drip down.

This time, the patterns on the jade seemed to light up for a moment, and I immediately opened my eyes wide, trying to capture that subtle change.

The twisted lines seemed to come alive, and under my gaze, they slowly outlined a strange symbol, like an ancient seal or a mysterious incantation.

I felt my soul jolt violently the moment the symbol appeared; it was as if I had found a long-sealed door to open.

"This is..." I murmured to myself, my heart filled with ecstasy, as if I had finally seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"What did you see?!" The mysterious creature's voice was filled with panic and surprise; it seemed to have also sensed the unusual fluctuations brought about by the symbol.

I ignored its questioning and just stared intently at the symbols on the jade, trying to memorize every detail, afraid of missing anything.

I know that this is very likely the key to terminating the contract!

I stood up abruptly, unable to contain my excitement any longer, and a bright smile involuntarily curved my lips.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Gong Lin's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. He strode over with his long legs, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt and a hint of doting.

Before I could answer, he had already picked me up and spun me around. I couldn't help but gasp in surprise, but I also laughed even harder.

"That's amazing! I think I've... found some clues!" I said excitedly, hugging his neck, a blush rising on my cheeks.

His gaze softened, and his eyes seemed to fill with tender tears as he looked at me. "What clue? Is it related to that strange contract?"

I nodded emphatically, my eyes burning with excitement. I looked up at his sharply defined face, and my reflection was mirrored in his deep eyes. In that instant, the air seemed to thicken.

"Mmm!" I instinctively hugged his neck tighter, my warm breath brushing against his ear, and an ambiguous feeling spread between us.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the door to the research room was violently kicked open.

The person who burst through the door was Secretary Chen. His face was ashen, he was holding a stack of documents in his hand, and he was breathing rapidly, as if he had something urgent to report.

He paused for a moment when he saw me and Gong Lin embracing.

"Young Master Gong, something's happened! Shengshi Group unilaterally terminated its cooperation with us, saying that our previous negative news had affected their corporate image." Secretary Chen's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating the urgency of the situation.

My heart skipped a beat. Shengshi Group is one of our most important partners. If we lose their cooperation, the company will suffer huge losses.

Previously, due to the influence of the mysterious creature, I made some wrong decisions, which led to a crisis for the company. We had just seen a glimmer of hope, but now we are facing new challenges.

Gong Lin's expression also darkened. He gently put me down, walked to Secretary Chen, took the documents, and quickly glanced through them.

"I understand. You can go now. I'll handle it immediately." His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Secretary Chen hesitated for a moment, her gaze lingering on me for a second, before she silently withdrew and gently closed the door.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Gong Lin turned around and looked at me gently. His eyes were firm and warm, as if they could dispel all the gloom in my heart.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

"Thank you, Miyazaki. I know you've been helping me, but I don't want to be a burden to you."

He smiled and reached out to stroke my hair. "Silly girl, what are you saying? We're one, your business is my business."

A warm feeling welled up inside me; his words were like a powerful force, supporting me to keep going.

I nodded, my gaze firm. "I'll handle things at the company. You need to be careful too, about that contract..."

"I know, I'll find a solution as soon as possible," he interrupted me.

I looked at him, my heart filled with gratitude and worry. I knew he had sacrificed a lot for me, but I hoped even more that he could protect himself.

"I believe you," I said softly, squeezing his hand tightly.

He grasped my hand in return, our fingers intertwined, and a warm force emanated from his palm, dispelling the unease in my heart.

"Now, let's deal with the problems of Shengshi Group first." He said firmly, his eyes shining with confidence.

I looked at him, my heart filled with hope.

I returned to my office and began to handle the termination of the contract with Shengshi Group.

I carefully studied the contract terms and found some loopholes that could be exploited.

I immediately contacted the person in charge of Shengshi Group in an attempt to salvage the situation.

After a series of intense negotiations, I finally managed to persuade the other party to reconsider the cooperation.

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a long sigh of relief; a huge weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders.

I know this is only a temporary relief, and I must resolve the internal problems of the company as soon as possible in order to completely get out of the crisis.

I turned on my computer and started looking at the company's recent financial statements, and my brows furrowed slightly.

The company's losses are more severe than I imagined. If we cannot turn things around soon, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just when I was at my wit's end, my phone suddenly rang. It was Gong Lin calling.

"Miao Qing, I've found some information about that symbol..." His voice was low and urgent, carrying a hint of excitement and mystery.

A jolt went through me; a premonition washed over me. Perhaps I was getting closer and closer to the truth…

"What is it?" I asked impatiently, my heart pounding.

He paused, his tone turning serious, "You'd better come over in person. Some things can't be explained over the phone..."

I rushed to the study where Gong Lin was. As soon as I opened the door, I saw him standing by the window, holding an old parchment scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, bathing him in a golden light that made him look even more handsome and dashing.

“You’ve come.” He turned around and handed me the parchment scroll in his hand. “Look at this.”

I took the parchment scroll; it was icy cold to the touch. The scroll was covered with symbols and patterns I couldn't understand, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

I carefully observed every detail above, and suddenly I noticed that one of the symbols was extremely similar to the symbols I had seen on jade, only more complete and complex.

“This symbol…I’ve seen it before!” I exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the symbol on the parchment scroll. “It looks just like the symbol I saw on jade!”

"Gong Lin's"

He pointed to another passage on the parchment and explained, “According to this record, this symbol represents an ancient altar located deep in the mountains, where many mysterious powers are said to be hidden. Perhaps… we can find a way to break the contract there.”

My heart was pounding, and a strange excitement welled up inside me.

If I can find a way to break the contract, I can completely break free from the control of the mysterious creature and regain control of my own destiny!

"When do we leave?" I asked impatiently.

"There's no time to lose, let's go now." Gong Lin's tone was firm and decisive.

Just as we were about to set off, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my mind, as if a needle was stabbing my brain hard, giving me a splitting headache.

"No! Don't go there! It's dangerous!" The voice of the mysterious creature roared in my mind, filled with intense fear and warning.

I gritted my teeth, enduring the intense pain, and tried my best to stay awake.

I know this is the mysterious creature stopping me; it's afraid I'll find a way to break the contract.

"I won't be intimidated by you!" I silently retorted in my heart, my eyes shining with determination.

"Ah!" I couldn't help but let out a painful groan, my body swaying precariously.

Seeing this, Gong Lin immediately helped me up and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

I shook my head and forced a smile. "I'm fine, let's go."

He gave me a deep look.

The moment we stepped out of the study, the pain in my head suddenly intensified, and everything before my eyes began to blur and distort. I felt as if I were in a state of chaos, unable to distinguish directions or see the road ahead...

“Miao Qing…” Gong Lin’s voice rang in my ears, tinged with anxiety and unease.

I tried to respond to him, but found that I didn't even have the strength to speak.

My consciousness began to fade, and everything went dark...

"Wait..." With my last bit of strength, I grabbed his sleeve, and felt a cold touch on my fingertips...
