Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 507: Like I’d Believe You

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s reply, Ling Tianyou smiled. Did she think she could dismiss him with just a ’thank you’?

If that’s what she thought, the little girl was thinking too much.

"There’s something at the company at noon, no need to wait for me, you eat first."

"So, you’re coming back in the afternoon?"

"Yes, I’ve already arranged a time and place to meet with Kai Qi, I’ll come back to pick you up."

"Okay. Then what are you having for lunch?"

This was a question that Gu Ningyue seemed never to have cared about before.

"There are plenty of restaurants nearby, it’s fine."

Putting down the phone, Gu Ningyue said to Aunt Zhang, who was mopping the floor, "Aunt Zhang, Tianyou won’t be back at noon, just make something simple, no need to make it too complicated."

With Xiao Yun not around, Aunt Zhang was too busy with all the work by herself.

Even if she helped, the place was still too big.

"Okay!" Aunt Zhang responded, "Then is it alright to make a simple stir-fried shredded pork with chicken porridge for Young Madam at noon?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "That’s fine."

Seeing Gu Ningyue agree, Aunt Zhang finished mopping the last spot and went to prepare the ingredients.

At that moment, Gu Ningyue suddenly received a text message.

Looking at the number on the screen, Gu Ningyue’s eyes lit up, "Young Madam, every Wednesday from ten to twelve in the morning, Jin Chenglong goes to see Jin Chenghu. Jin Chenghu’s mobility issues aren’t caused by actual poliomyelitis! Recently, someone has been in frequent contact with Jin Chenglong’s mother, and that person seems to have the surname Ye!"

This made it understandable why Jin Chenglong would seek out Shangguan Wuyue.

After all, there are certain illnesses that even Hua Tuo couldn’t cure if he were alive!

After thinking for a while, Gu Ningyue replied, "Reply quickly."

The information known was enough for now, the rest was up to Ling Tianyou to handle!

She sent a screenshot of Xiao Yun’s message to Ling Tianyou. Presumably overwhelmed with company matters, Ling Tianyou replied after a long while, "Got it, I know."

After considering for a bit, Gu Ningyue sent another message: "How about sending some people to take a look around? Xiao Yun might not be able to leave for a while, and if necessary, some means might be needed!"

Although she didn’t know how Xiao Yun managed to infiltrate the Jin Family so quickly, the current situation required thinking about how to rescue Xiao Yun first.

After waiting for another moment, Ling Tianyou replied, "Don’t worry, I already sent people over. If any unexpected situation arises, I’ll think of a way to get Xiao Yun out these couple of days."

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s message, Gu Ningyue felt relieved, "That’s good."

"By the way, did you find out about your car issue?"

"Ding dong—"

Ling Tianyou replied quickly, "Still investigating, not only that car, but the other two cars were also tampered with to different extents."

Gu Ningyue thought to herself, see, having too many cars is troublesome, now it’s complicated to investigate!

"Be cautious these days, not just the cars, other things too, check them thoroughly!"

Even without Gu Ningyue’s reminder, Ling Tianyou had already ordered a thorough investigation.

Over the years, his power had grown, and it was not surprising that some wanted him to disappear.

They hadn’t succeeded in all these years, so gradually they gave up.

Unexpectedly, it started again now.

The image of Chen Rui’s charming smile appeared in Ling Tianyou’s mind, and his palm grew cold.

Could it be her? But nothing has been settled yet, why would she be so impatient?

This didn’t seem like Chen Rui’s style!

But besides her, Ling Tianyou couldn’t think of any other suspect!

Half-reclining on the sofa, Gu Ningyue laid her phone aside and casually turned on the TV.

It seemed this matter would soon come to a close.

The debt she owed Ji Qianqian was about to be repaid.

But, after Ji Qianqian’s matter was settled, how long before she could settle her debt to Lin Ruixian?

The relationship that should have ended long ago had now spawned so many complications, sigh...

What should she do? When could she pay it off?

Although her master said that Lin Ruixian was out of immediate danger, from what Lu Qingqing mentioned, the man who went in later might have injured Lin Ruixian more severely, right? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

After thinking back and forth, aside from the Heimu Organization, Gu Ningyue couldn’t come up with other possibilities.

She waited until Aunt Zhang finished the cooking, only then did Gu Ningyue sit up on the sofa, "Smells great! Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills are getting better and better."

Aunt Zhang smiled, "Not at all, just some home-cooked dishes. It’s just that President Ling and Young Madam don’t mind them!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, you’re too modest, being your child must be very happy."

With that, Gu Ningyue stood up to help get the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then she pulled a chair and sat down.

"Ding dong—"

Just after serving the rice, Gu Ningyue’s phone on the table rang.

Gu Ningyue swiped open the screen. It was a message from Shen Hanyin, "So, what does Ling Tianyou’s family say?"

Only then did Gu Ningyue slap her forehead, oh dear, how could she forget to tell Shen Hanyin about this! Damn it!

"Getting engaged on the ninth of next month, I’ll pick out a dress for you to see in a couple of days!"

"Ding dong—"

Shen Hanyin: "Wow, you! I waited all night and you only tell me when I ask. Humph, ignoring you now!"

Seeing this, Gu Ningyue quickly sent a voice message, "Baby, I was wrong! Don’t be mad! I honestly didn’t mean to!"

Shen Hanyin said to the screen, "I know... you did it on purpose! You’ve changed, you’re not who you used to be."

"I’m wronged!" Gu Ningyue remembered the scene from yesterday, and her face flushed involuntarily, "There was a special situation last night!"

Shen Hanyin didn’t believe it, "What situation? Tell me! I’ll give you a chance."

Gu Ningyue suppressed the flutter in her heart and said to Shen Hanyin, "I wanted to tell you about this on my way back yesterday, but unexpectedly Ling Tianyou’s car broke down..."

"Is that a reason?" Shen Hanyin wasn’t that upset initially, but her voice suddenly became aggrieved upon hearing Gu Ningyue say this.

Gu Ningyue quickly coaxed, "No, listen to my explanation. While waiting for someone to pick us up by the car, we ran into Jin Chenglong’s son."

Gu Ningyue truthfully recounted what happened last night to Shen Hanyin, who paused for a moment, "So, you and Ling Tianyou, nothing happened that entire night?"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Gu Ningyue: "Shouldn’t you ask if I was hurt!"

Shen Hanyin cleared her throat, "From hearing how lively you sound, it’s obvious you weren’t hurt. If something serious happened, Ling Tianyou wouldn’t leave you at home, he’d have taken you to the hospital earlier."

Gu Ningyue remained silent for a while, "You rogue!"

Shen Hanyin retorted, "I’m just curious! It’s not the same as being a rogue!"

Gu Ningyue: "...I don’t believe you one bit."
