Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 455: Take the Money and Leave

Gu Ningyue always thought that having a responsible father was already quite sorrowful, but upon hearing what Xiao Yun said, she suddenly felt that the original owner wasn’t so miserable after all.

At least, Gu Zheng did not commit any crimes and then let her bear the consequences.

Or, she didn’t have to really pay for these people.

All the way to the mall, she walked around with Xiao Yun, bought the clothes they needed, and was just about to take her to stroll around near Jin Chenglong’s house when her phone unexpectedly went off.

"Ding dong——"

Gu Ningyue thought it would be Ling Tianyou or Shen Hanyin, if not them then at least Chi Xingtong or Lu Qingqing.

But when she picked up her phone and saw the name on the screen, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Su Heng: "Hi, what are you doing?"

Gu Ningyue was full of confusion. How did Su Heng, who had been dead silent on the list, suddenly send her a message?

"Young Madam, what’s wrong?" Xiao Yun asked as she watched Gu Ningyue, who was sitting in the car but hadn’t moved at all.

Gu Ningyue put down her phone and shook her head: "It’s nothing. By the way, you shouldn’t go back to the villa these days. I’ll find you another place to stay."

Acting requires doing it thoroughly, of course.

Xiao Yun responded, and Gu Ningyue found a small motel three streets away from Jin Chenglong’s house.

The prices here are very cheap, only sixty bucks a day.

The room was small; besides a bed, there wasn’t space for any other items.

There was only a small window, and compared to the room in the villa, it was oppressive and dark.

Gu Ningyue looked at Xiao Yun and said, "You might be a little aggrieved these two days, but when this period is over, I’ll ask him to give you a raise."

Xiao Yun shook her head: "It’s alright, Young Madam. I wasn’t in such a good place when I was a child, so I’m used to it."

Gu Ningyue quietly instructed the plan once again and, just as she was about to leave, her phone rang again. This time, it was a voice call from Su Heng.

Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, waited until she was in the car, and the voice call automatically canceled, she then sent a message: "Sorry, I was busy just now. Mr. Su, is there anything you need?"

"Ding dong——"

Su Heng: "Did Miss Gu just go to the city center mall? I didn’t expect... Miss Gu to be so carefree."

Looking at Su Heng’s message, Gu Ningyue felt something wasn’t right: "Mr. Su, are you surveilling me?"

How coincidental was it that Su Heng was also at the city center mall?

"Ding dong——"

Su Heng: "Miss Gu misunderstood. It’s just that my assistant happened to see Miss Gu while shopping for something I needed."

Reading this message, Gu Ningyue couldn’t decide whether to believe him.

After hesitating for two seconds, Gu Ningyue typed a message in the dialogue box: "What did you mean by carefree? I don’t quite understand."

After this message, Su Heng didn’t reply anymore.

What did Su Heng mean? Why did he precisely send such a message today?

Sitting in the car for a long time, the dialogue box still remained at the question she sent.

Gu Ningyue thought for a while and attempted to dial Su Heng’s voice call.

After a long tone, there was no response from the other side.

Gu Ningyue didn’t understand Su Heng’s words, and her heart carried a concern. She pondered over it the entire way back to the villa, trying to figure out what Su Heng meant.

Today’s weather was excellent, with sunshine all over the streets, but the initial autumn weather in City A had cooled down.

The wind blew in through the open car windows, but it didn’t clear Gu Ningyue’s confusion at all.

All the way home, Aunt Zhang came out upon hearing the sound: "Young Madam, you are back."

Gu Ningyue nodded and entered the villa with Aunt Zhang: "Has President Ling returned?"

"Not yet!" Aunt Zhang said, "But according to the time, he should be back soon. President Ling called half an hour ago, saying he would come home for lunch today."

Gu Ningyue smiled calmly, not surprised: "Okay, I got it."

After going upstairs and opening the computer, Gu Ningyue reviewed the previously arranged information about Jin Chenglong and Jin Chenghu.

The two brothers seemed to have been close since childhood, so it wasn’t surprising that Jin Chenglong didn’t give up on helping his brother during difficult times.

However, if he cares so much about his brother, why let him live in that old house?

This point was something that Gu Ningyue has never quite understood.

Perhaps, Ling Tianyou could uncover some clues!

After sending a message to Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed to rest her eyes.

Until now, Lin Ruixian had not replied to her messages.

And what Lu Qingqing said to her yesterday was also ambiguous.

In the afternoon, Li Jing was waiting for her and who knows what he would say...

Originally thought Gu Wanwan, Gu Heng, and Ye Mingchen had received punishment and everything was over, but little did she know, it was just beginning.

"Sigh..." Gu Ningyue sighed, "When will these days be over?"

The atmosphere in the Gu Family Boardroom was oppressive and heavy.

Gu Zheng looked at the few managers who were left, the sharpness in his eyes as if to see through all their schemes.

"You are fired. Your work will be handed over to someone else. Once the handover is done, you can go to finance to collect your salary."

With that, Gu Zheng got up and left the boardroom.

The few managers sitting in the room looked at each other, seeing the same emotions in one another’s eyes—shock.

Just an hour ago, Gu Zheng called a corporate executive meeting under the guise of project planning, not only handing over the project to others but also removing them from their positions.

This all came so suddenly, catching them off guard.

For a long time, they sat in the boardroom without moving.

It wasn’t until Gu Zheng’s assistant came in that they regained their senses.

"Gentlemen, please."

One of them wanted to say something, but Gu Zheng’s assistant sneered, "This is all the chairman’s orders. If you have any complaints, you can approach the chairman."

They exchanged glances, knowing their time was up, sighed, and left the boardroom with their notepads and pens.

Fifteen minutes later, the assistant knocked on Gu Zheng’s office door: "Knock knock——"

"Come in!"

The assistant pushed the door open, "Chairman, those people have completed their resignations and left with their pay."

Gu Zheng nodded, expressionless: "That’s good! Have the talks about the three unfinished projects been concluded?"

"Yes, they have. Although the other party was a bit unhappy, they didn’t pursue the matter."

Gu Zheng acknowledged: "Keep a close eye on the two projects already running. If anything seems off, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Chairman."
