Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 225: The Person Behind the Scenes

Perhaps it was because she left the Gu Family, Gu Ningyue had a particularly deep sleep.

It was around twelve noon when she slowly woke up.

"Damn, I forgot to change the bandages..."

Besides the pain from the wound on her waist, a certain discomfort made her frown as she slowly sat up, only to discover a fresh streak of red bloodstain on the bed.

What a run of bad luck, just when I needed it the least?

Changing bandages, changing clothes, dressing refreshingly again, Gu Ningyue stood in front of the dressing mirror.

Looking at her pale face, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch the smooth, clean surface of the mirror: "Gu Weiwei, oh Gu Weiwei, how did you end up like this?"

There have been times when the injuries were much worse than this, never had there been such a pathetic moment.

This shows how important it is to have a strong organization as a backing.

Besides having the master backing her, there’s also the pharmacist in the organization.

The medicines given are always top-notch, without such trouble.

This shows how important it is to have a backing.

"Hello? Auntie, how’s Han Yin’s condition? I’ll go check on her later... Auntie, don’t worry, the surgery was very successful, Han Yin will definitely be fine."

After comforting Shen Hanyin’s mother and asking for some details of the day Shen Hanyin got into trouble, she then called Director Chen.

Still under the guise of Ling Tianyou’s fiancée, Gu Ningyue managed to gather some useful information from Director Chen, then opened the computer and started investigating these people’s backgrounds.

None of these drug addicts are over thirty years old, but their history with drugs is at least six years.

They have squandered all their family wealth, idly roaming the streets of City A every day.

To survive, they often engage in petty theft, having gone in and out of the police station numerous times.

Logically, they should have been taken away for mandatory detox. But due to long-term drug abuse, they’ve accumulated many illnesses, and even the detention centers hesitate to admit them.

Some have even swallowed blades or lighters openly to avoid being detained.

These people are more frightening than fugitives.

However, these people have always lived under the bridge, rarely appearing in the wealthy district.

What happened that day?

After exhausting various methods, Gu Ningyue, combining the details shared by Director Chen and Shen Hanyin’s mother, finally found a clue.

Some people, who couldn’t even afford meals, suddenly had money to go to a restaurant that day, then took a taxi to the wealthy district.

Before this, someone had received a call on their phone.

This phone was used only once, then discarded.

Still, through some methods, Gu Ningyue roughly guessed who contacted them.

In the entirety of City A, those opposing her and having harmed Shen Hanyin multiple times, apart from Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen, there’s no one else.

But how did they find the source and link up with these people?

These wicked pair, no wonder it seemed so quiet lately, turns out they were up to these shady deeds!

Gu Ningyue clenched her fingers, organized the collected information, and when she looked up at the window again, the sun wasn’t as fierce as before.

The time in the corner of the computer had changed from 12 to 5. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Her stomach protested twice, and Gu Ningyue picked up her phone, hesitating for a while, finally deciding to go out alone to grab something to eat.

She wanted to relax her mind a bit as well.

She drove to a small noodle shop, where a waiter came over to ask what she wanted, Gu Ningyue casually ordered something and remained still at her seat.

This area is where those people often appeared, although they’ve been captured, surely other drug acquaintances still linger around.

When a bowl of steaming noodles and a small stir-fry was served, Gu Ningyue looked at the waiter, who was barely in his twenties, and asked: "This place hasn’t been rebuilt yet? I see the two streets ahead are already under demolition."

The waiter involuntarily pursed his lips: "It’s unlikely there will be any renovation here for years, with those scoundrels around, who would want to invest here?"

Gu Ningyue followed up: "Are you talking about those lying in the alleys ahead? How long have they been here?"

The waiter was about to speak when a cough came from the bar. The waiter caught the cue and dared not utter another word, saying ’Enjoy your meal’ before turning to the kitchen.

Gu Ningyue raised her eyes towards the bar, though her face was pale, the room’s dim lighting made it look not too alarming.

Moreover, her exquisite face added an air of pitiful allure: "No worries, I’m just curious, speaking offhand, not a reporter on a covert visit."

Knowing that those people are the city’s fringe, their minds long detached from the norm, no one wants to get involved with such trouble.

Gu Ningyue was adorned in luxury brands, wearing a watch on her wrist that looked quite expensive, not the attire of a journalist, her gaze eased slightly.

Gu Ningyue ate her noodles while occasionally glancing at the door.

After a period unknown, the waiter who had spoken to her earlier entered from the door and shouted: "Which of you gentlemen or ladies’ car, license plate number AXXXXX, could you come out to move the car?"

Gu Ningyue raised her hand, "Mine, is it blocking someone else’s car?"

The waiter was taken aback, not having expected the Maserati at the door belonged to this frail-looking girl.

"Yes." The waiter’s eyes began to sparkle as he looked at her: "The spot here is small, so this happens often."

Gu Ningyue nodded in understanding, this street is barely a few steps wide, reaching the road across in a dozen steps.

Not to mention such tiny shopfront, barely fitting a few cars.

Impatient curses leaked faintly from the doorway, Gu Ningyue lifted the curtain and stepped out of the shop, spotting a man in a crumpled T-shirt standing in the sunlight.

In the sweltering heat, his face was pale and his eyes were somewhat wandering, his condition much worse than hers.

"Why’s no one coming out?" The man leaned against the car, full of impatience.

Gu Ningyue apologized, the man was obviously shocked to find the car owner was a girl, momentarily stunned: "Is this your car?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, giving him space.

All the while descending from the car, she could feel his gaze lingering around her.

"Sorry about that!"

Without even a glance, Gu Ningyue turned back into the shop.

"3, 2, 1."

The last syllable fell, the curtain was lifted, and the man who stood outside walked in: "——Boss, a bowl of beef noodles please!"

Gu Ningyue lowered her head, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Indeed, her trip wasn’t in vain!

So quickly, someone has delivered themselves right at her doorstep.
