Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 174 The Truth Will Be Revealed, The Decisive Contract

“Ancient forces…” I repeated these words in a low voice, my fingertips almost digging into my phone.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, as if I were in an ice cellar.

The contract with the mysterious creature remains unresolved, and now the company is in trouble, connected to those enigmatic ancient forces...

Am I destined to have my fate controlled by these successive accidents?

No! I will never give in!

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

Panic won't help; it will only make me lose my composure.

The most important thing now is to figure out exactly what happened and then find a solution.

“I understand,” I said to my secretary, trying to keep my tone calm. “I’ll be right back.”

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Gong Lin. "His company is in trouble," I explained briefly, "and it seems to be related to an ancient force."

Without saying a word, Gong Lin got up, grabbed his coat, and said, "I'll go with you."

I nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

In this perilous time, having him by my side makes me feel incredibly safe.

We rushed to the company.

Throughout the journey, various possibilities kept flashing through my mind.

What exactly do these ancient forces want to do?

Are they targeting me, or my company?

Or, both?

I parked the car in front of the company building, opened the car door, and a strange smell hit me.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, mixed with some ancient and mysterious scent, making me feel dizzy.

"Watch out!" Gong Lin grabbed my arm and supported my swaying body.

I composed myself and looked up at the company building.

The once brightly lit office building was now pitch black, with only a few eerie red lights faintly emanating from the top floor.

The red light flickered, as if it were breathing, or perhaps...

fling in teeth.

“What is that…” I pointed to the red light on the top floor, my voice trembling slightly.

Gong Lin followed my finger and looked down, his expression turning serious.

“Go up and take a look.” He gripped my hand tightly, his tone firm and resolute.

As we entered the building, a chilling aura greeted us, making me shiver involuntarily.

The elevator stopped at the top floor, the doors slowly opened, and a familiar figure appeared before us.

"Long time no see, Miao Qing." A chilling smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Or should I call you... a Contractor?"

"A contractor?" I sneered. The man in front of me was dressed in a suit and had a handsome face, but his eyes were filled with a sinister calculation that made me want to vomit.

He was none other than Li Minghui, my business rival who had been opposing me at every turn.

"Li Minghui, what are you doing?" Gong Lin stepped forward, shielding me behind him, his tone as cold as a drawn sword.

Li Minghui calmly straightened his tie, a fake smile on his face. "Young Master Gong, don't be so nervous. I just want to have a good chat with Miss Miao." He paused, his gaze falling on me with an unpleasant probing look. "I didn't expect you to be that 'Contractor.' That really surprises me."

I ignored his provocation and calmly looked around.

The top-floor office was set up as a simple altar, with bizarre patterns drawn in blood on the floor, and the stench of blood in the air was so strong it was nauseating.

The walls were covered with black runes, emanating an ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine.

All of this suggests that this was not a sudden incident at the company, but a carefully laid trap.

"It seems you know me quite well." I looked coldly at Li Minghui, a mocking smile playing on my lips. "In that case, I don't need to play along with you anymore."

"Smart!" Li Minghui clapped his hands, his greed undisguised. "As long as you hand over the method to terminate the contract, I can consider letting you suffer less."

"You're dreaming!" I shouted angrily, my anger surging inside me.

"No rush, there's plenty of time." Li Minghui wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, he seemed even more smug. "I'll make you hand it over willingly."

Just then, Gong Lin moved.

He pounced on Li Minghui like a cheetah, his fist carrying a fierce momentum that made the air explode.

Li Minghui was clearly caught off guard by Gong Lin's sudden attack. He was struck in the abdomen by Gong Lin's fist and screamed as he staggered back a few steps.

Upon seeing this, I immediately understood Bai Lin's intention.

He was buying me time.

I quickly began searching and, sure enough, found an old wooden box in the corner of the altar.

I opened the box, and inside lay a jade pendant emitting a faint glow.

The jade pendant was made of a warm, smooth material that felt cool to the touch. It was engraved with intricate patterns, perfectly matching the key item described by the mysterious creature as the one needed to break the contract.

My heart was racing, and I was trembling with excitement.

Finally found!

I gripped the jade pendant tightly, my heart filled with hope.

Gong Lin caught a glimpse of me taking the jade pendant out of the corner of his eye, and immediately stepped back to my side, shielding me behind him.

A hint of excitement crossed his handsome face. "Found it?" he asked softly.

I nodded and gave him a reassuring look.

The moment I handed him the jade pendant, our fingertips accidentally touched, and a tingling, electric-like sensation instantly spread throughout my body.

I looked up at him, and he was looking at me tenderly. Our eyes met, and both of our eyes were filled with love and determination.

At that moment, we seemed to forget the crisis before us and only each other remained.

"What a touching scene!" Li Minghui's voice broke the brief silence. He got up from the ground, his face contorted with rage. "Looks like you're planning to give up!"

“No,” I said firmly, gripping the jade pendant tightly in my hand as I looked at him, “the real show is just beginning.”

I felt the jade pendant in my hand tremble slightly, and that familiar yet greedy feeling began to roar in my mind...

I gripped the jade pendant, which emitted a faint glow, tightly in my hand, my heart filled with conflict.

This jade pendant is the key to breaking the soul contract.

But if we use it rashly, will it bring any unknown risks?

I secretly wondered to myself, after all, the greed and willfulness of that mysterious creature made it impossible for me to completely trust it.

"Now, are you really going to hand over the jade pendant just like that?" Li Minghui's voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he were laughing at my hesitation.

His eyes were cold, and a sneer played on his lips, which filled me with disgust.

But I know now is not the time to argue with him; I must find a solution as soon as possible.

Gong Lin sensed my hesitation and squeezed my hand. "Don't worry, whatever you decide, I will support you." His voice was deep and firm, which gave me more courage.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

The jade pendant in my hand was warm and smooth to the touch, yet cool to the touch, as if reminding me of the urgency of time.

I closed my eyes and tried to communicate with the mysterious creature with my heart.

“If you completely break the contract now and promise not to harass me again, I will give you the jade pendant.” My voice was firm and clear; even in such a tense moment, I could not appear weak.

After a moment of silence, a greedy thought crackled in his mind, as if he were hesitating.

I could feel its struggle and resentment, but it was also clearly aware of my determination.

The jade pendant trembled slightly in my palm, as if responding to my request.

"Are you really... willing to use this jade pendant to completely break the contract?" The voice carried a hint of hesitation, but more so, it was filled with longing.

I nodded, though I was still a little uneasy, because this was my only chance.

"Yes, as long as you keep your promise."

Gong Lin sensed my determination and gently squeezed my hand, giving me more strength.

I looked up and met his gaze, and saw endless trust and unwavering determination in his eyes.

“Alright,” the voice finally made its decision, “but you must promise that once the contract is dissolved, this jade pendant will immediately belong to me.”

I took a deep breath, gripped the jade pendant tightly, and a sense of determination welled up inside me.

"It's a word."

Just as I was about to hand the jade pendant to Gong Lin, Li Minghui suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Do you think you can get away unscathed like this?" His words were full of threat, but at this moment, I was no longer the Miao Qing who could be easily threatened.

"No matter what your purpose is, I will not back down an inch," I said firmly, the jade pendant in my hand shining even brighter, as if echoing my determination.

Gong Lin held my hand tightly. "Together, there's nothing we can't overcome."

Li Minghui's face turned ferocious, as if he realized the situation was not good, but he still refused to admit defeat easily.

"Do you... really think this will end?"

I gave a cold laugh, the jade pendant in my hand trembling slightly, as if awaiting the final decision.

Just as I was about to completely break the contract—

"Wait!" Li Minghui suddenly shouted. I stopped what I was doing, looked at him coldly, and the jade pendant in my hand trembled slightly, as if waiting for the final decision.

"Are you really confident that this jade pendant can completely break the contract?" Li Minghui's tone carried a hint of resentment, but more so a deep-seated fear.

He clearly knew that once I terminated the contract, he would lose his leverage over me.

I gave a cold laugh, my resolve only growing stronger.

“Even without this jade pendant, I will never be threatened by you.” My voice was deep and powerful, each word like a hammer blow to his heart.

Gong Lin held my hand tightly, giving me boundless confidence.

"No matter what happens, I will stand by your side." His voice was firm and warm, warming my heart and dispelling the chill around me.

Seeing this, Li Minghui's face became even more ferocious, but he was clearly out of options.

He roared and lunged at me, but Gong Lin quickly stepped in front of me and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

Li Minghui screamed and fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

I took a deep breath, transforming my fear and anger into unwavering conviction.

I picked up the jade pendant, closed my eyes, and tried to communicate with the mysterious creature with my heart.

"Will you fulfill your promise and completely terminate the contract?"

After a moment of silence, a greedy thought arose in his mind, like a howling cry of desire.

"Alright, I promise you, but you must give me the jade pendant immediately."

I nodded, raised the jade pendant high, and felt the faint light it emitted.

A soft beam of light emanated from the jade pendant, gradually enveloping my entire body.

I felt a warm energy flow into my body, and that greedy consciousness began to gradually dissipate, eventually turning into nothingness.

My superpowers were fully restored at that moment, and the world before my eyes became clear and bright.

I opened my eyes and saw Gong Lin's concerned gaze, my heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

"The contract is dissolved..." I said softly, as the jade pendant in my hand gradually lost its luster and eventually turned into an ordinary stone.

I gently placed it on the ground and turned to look around.

The altar on the top floor of the company was completely destroyed by this force, and the strange patterns and runes disappeared without a trace. The bloody smell that filled the air also gradually dissipated.

I felt a sense of relief; all the crises seemed to have been resolved.

Gong Lin held my hand tightly, her eyes filled with pride and love.

"You did it, Miao Qing." He gently kissed my forehead, and everything around us seemed to be cheering for our victory.

However, at that moment, a mysterious light suddenly emanated from my space, as if it were surging from the depths, carrying unknown majesty and power.

I felt a pang of anxiety, as if something important was about to happen.

“This light…” I murmured, my heart filled with doubt.

This light seems to be related to the inheritance of my space, foreshadowing a new crisis that is about to arrive.

Gong Lin also noticed the light and shouted, "Miao Qing, be careful!"

I nodded, my gaze fixed on the light, silently pondering its meaning.
