Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 222: Life or Death Unknown

Searching for Ling Tianyou’s prized possession, Gu Ningyue clicked into her circle of friends.

The originally empty feed suddenly had a new photo, where Chen Rui sat at a table, smiling happily at the camera.

On the table were some exquisite desserts and wine glasses.

It seemed to be at Chen Rui’s home.

Although there was only this post, it was enough to drag Gu Ningyue’s already downhearted mood to rock bottom.

Gu Ningyue finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and dialed Ling Tianyou’s number.

Even if they were breaking up, it should have a beginning and end with clarity.

She didn’t like ending things silently, in fact, she hated it.

The ringtone rang for a while, and at the moment of connecting, Gu Ningyue swallowed hard: "Hello?"

Ling Tianyou wasn’t as cold as imagined, nor as angry as anticipated, but rather gentle as if nothing had happened: "Still not sleeping this late?"

"Yeah!" Gu Ningyue held her phone, and after saying that word, had no idea what to say next.

Ling Tianyou didn’t hang up, faintly, there were sobbing sounds beside him, probably still in the ’act’ with Chen Rui.

After a while, Gu Ningyue didn’t know why, but a sentence came out of her mouth: "I went to Y City a few days ago, for that piece of Blood Jade."

Ling Tianyou responded with a sound, "Mm, I know."

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect he would easily accept the fact that she left for Y City, that kind of loss was even more uncontrollable and showed through the phone: "Sorry, I didn’t keep the previous agreement and tell you everything."

Ling Tianyou was not surprised by Gu Ningyue’s veiled apology, he calmly said: "I also did something that made you unhappy, let it cancel out this time! I still have some things, good night."

"Good night..."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue’s mind conjured up the scene where Ling Tianyou ’saved’ Chen Rui.

Suddenly she somewhat wished he was angry with her, caring like he used to.

Rather than like now, indifferent and making people uneasy.

But who could be blamed for this, blame luck for playing tricks.

Moreover, who told him to investigate her?

Shouldn’t she be angry?

She pondered over things the entire night until dawn, only then did Gu Ningyue get up, change the dressing, and slowly fall asleep.

She slept until one o’clock in the afternoon, without even hearing the knocking from the butler outside her door.

When the blazing sunlight woke her up, her phone already had multiple missed calls.

Among them, six calls were from Shen Hanyin.

The last one was from Ling Tianyou.

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s name made Gu Ningyue’s heart race several beats.

An ominous feeling crept up, prompting her to call back immediately.

"Hello? You..."

Before she could continue, Ling Tianyou’s slightly cold voice had already blocked all her questions in her throat: "Shen Hanyin is hospitalized, now at the city hospital!"

Gu Ningyue’s hand trembled, "What? What happened to Han Yin?"

"In the morning, Shen Hanyin wanted to find you. After getting off near your home, a group of people suddenly came from nowhere, stabbed Shen Hanyin with knives. Those people have now been caught; they were addicts experiencing hallucinations. Shen Hanyin tried calling you but couldn’t get through, so she called me!"

"Now Shen Hanyin should be coming out of surgery soon, you better head to the hospital!"

Ling Tianyou rarely said so much at once, but each sentence struck Gu Ningyue’s heart like a thunderbolt.

Gu Ningyue responded, hurriedly went downstairs without concerning the dressing, and rushed to the hospital.

In the living room, Li Yulan watched Gu Ningyue’s departing figure, a smile on her lips.

Upon reaching the hospital, Shen Hanyin’s parents were already waiting anxiously outside the operating room.

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s bloodless face, they didn’t seem to recognize her for a moment: "Ning Yue, did you, did you also meet those lunatics?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, they’ve already been caught."

Shen Hanyin’s mother focused her gaze on Gu Ningyue’s waist: "Ning Yue, you’re hurt!"

In the rush and not changing the dressing, the wound already seeped blood through her white T-shirt on this hurried trip to the hospital.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I’m fine, how’s Han Yin?"

Shen Hanyin’s father sighed, "Luckily, the people I sent were not far away, otherwise Han Yin... sigh!"

"Even so, Han Yin was stabbed five times." Shen Hanyin’s mother spoke, her voice trembling, her eyes teary. "The doctor said one stab hit the kidney, now it’s unknown life or death."

Five stabs, kidney, Gu Ningyue staggered, almost falling.

The district where Gu Family lived was inhabited by wealthy people, the security had always been strict. How could such a group appear?

Moreover, why did they coincidentally meet them near her house?

Also, why did Shen Hanyin make several calls to her under such circumstances?

Shouldn’t she go to the hospital first? Considering Shen Hanyin’s feelings for the original owner, she must have known something, hence wanting to inform her immediately.

Full of doubts surfaced, Gu Ningyue stood in the corridor, her gaze as heavy as a mountain, not even noticing the blood dripping onto the floor.

"Ning Yue, you..." Shen Hanyin’s mother waved her hand in front of her eyes: "You’re hurt!"

Gu Ningyue looked at the bloodstains on the floor, gritted her teeth and said: "Uncle and aunt, I’ll leave for a moment, be right back."

Shen Hanyin’s parents nodded, Gu Ningyue turned around to find a doctor for treating her wound.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Ningyue returned outside the operating room.

The doctors really exaggerate here, just a wound, and causing such a fuss.

They even wanted her to be hospitalized for observation, truly overreacting.

"Has Han Yin come out yet?"

Shen Hanyin’s mother shook her head: "Not yet. What happened to you, Ning Yue? How could you..."

She didn’t finish the sentence clearly, but Gu Ningyue understood her meaning: "It’s been turbulent lately, had some unexpected incidents."

Because Shen Hanyin’s injury was prior, this explanation didn’t raise suspicion in Shen Hanyin’s parents.

They only assumed Gu Ningyue was also attacked by the group harming Shen Hanyin and became even angrier.

"I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this."

Seeing Shen Hanyin’s father clench his fists tightly, Gu Ningyue silently sighed in her heart.

Shen Family had only one daughter, Shen Hanyin, treasured from childhood.

Not to mention laying a hand, a harsh word hadn’t been spoken.

But now, Shen Hanyin was stabbed five times by a group, life hanging in the balance.

Even she could clearly see the suspicions within, let alone Shen Hanyin’s deeply affectionate parents.

Even if you used your toes to think, this matter would absolutely not end with those drug addicts being caught.

But is this matter really as simple as they think?
