Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 226: A Burden on the Heart

The man was obviously a regular at the store, the waiter didn’t even ask what kind of noodles he wanted and went straight to the kitchen.

In the small noodle shop, Gu Ningyue quietly ate the food in front of her, occasionally furrowing her brows, seemingly in pain.

After a while, a figure blocked the sunlight in front of her, "Young lady, you don’t look well, are you sick?"

Gu Ningyue lifted her pale face to glance at the man who looked like a green-faced ghost, full of vigilance: "May I help you?"

The man lifted the corners of his mouth, giving some life to his stiff face: "Don’t misunderstand, young lady, I’m not a bad person. I just noticed you don’t look well, and I know a bit about medicine, so I came over to ask!"

"Oh!" Gu Ningyue responded blandly, seeming not particularly interested in him.

Seeing this, the man didn’t give up and continued to find a topic to chat with her about.

It must be said, he was quite eloquent, and it didn’t take long for people to relax around him.

Gu Ningyue thought to herself, if not for... he might be a decent man?

Just judging by his eloquence, he might have fared well.

At this moment, the waiter brought up the noodles, and seeing him sitting with Gu Ningyue, his eyes showed concern.

Gu Ningyue felt like laughing, unable to resist asking the waiter who hadn’t left her side, "What’s wrong, something else?"

Under the owner’s warning gaze, the waiter hesitated to speak, but in the end, said nothing at all.

Gu Ningyue didn’t blame him, she could even understand, after all, these drug addicts could do anything, and if you ruin their business, who knows what they might do in the future?

Besides, the man in front clearly had people behind him.

After finishing her meal, the man handed her a white pill and advised before leaving: "If you need more, you can call me."

He didn’t boast about how good this thing was, just spoke slowly in that enticing tone, recounting his experiences.

This was probably the path those who got dragged down had all gone through!

Gu Ningyue looked at the pill in her hand and revealed a faint smile. After so many years, these scumbags hadn’t changed a bit.

Seeing the man leave, the waiter, who had not dared to come closer, walked over: "Miss, it’s best to throw that thing away! It’s nothing good!"

Gu Ningyue glanced at him, stood up, showing a grateful smile: "Thank you, I understand."

Leaving the noodle shop, Gu Ningyue went to the hospital to visit Shen Hanyin.

She stayed comforting Shen Hanyin’s mother at the hospital until around eleven or twelve before returning home.

After changing the dressing, perhaps from sitting too long today, a dull ache started from her wound.

She took two anti-inflammatory and painkiller pills, but the pain didn’t alleviate much.

On the desk, that white pill was sitting next to her.

"Does this thing really have such power?" Her slender fingers picked it up, under the lamp’s light, it seemed like the devil released from Pandora’s box, tempting others to crime.

Gu Ningyue looked at it for a long time, her gaze wavered, but she placed it aside.

Forget it, Master was right, once touched, this sort of thing becomes a lifelong problem.

She never believed she had a particularly strong willpower, and even if it was just acting, she didn’t want any relation with it.

After changing into her pajamas and lying on the bed, her phone silently charged beside the pillow.

Chi Xingtong had left, Shen Hanyin was in the hospital, and she didn’t even have someone to talk to.

On WeChat, there were only pictures of new desserts Man Qianshan made today, alongside her bright smile.

Otherwise, there was nothing else.

Closing her eyes, Gu Ningyue cleared her mind, and soon drifted into slumber.

In the days that followed, Gu Ningyue met with that man several times more.

During conversation, Gu Ningyue appeared as a rich young lady who didn’t have to worry about food or clothing.

Orphaned with a seemingly endless inheritance, she was quite the catch.

Only, for one thing, she never attended gatherings with these people, for a simple reason: she feared catching other diseases.

After all, who knew what kind of contagious diseases these people might have?

This point was understandable, after all, Gu Ningyue obviously had the means to demand this.

During this period, Gu Ningyue was always cautious not to let anyone see any anomalies.

Every time a transaction occurred, her mind was entirely focused, and every phrase was rehearsed repeatedly beforehand.

Even her facial expressions showed not a hint of flaw.

Soon, Gu Ningyue obtained better goods.

And this time, during the acquisition, Gu Ningyue learned the information she sought while tailing them.

"Heard that Li Zi and them aren’t out yet, think they might get stuck in there this time?"

"Even if they’re caught, it wouldn’t be bad, hehe, that batch of goods is pretty pure."

"Boss Bai is really impressive, if only there were a chance to meet him."

"Forget it, you think the Living Yama is someone you can just meet? Better focus on what’s in front of you!"

"Yeah, but that woman looks pretty good, when her addiction grows. Boss said..."

"You just can’t kill your lust! Restrain yourself! Be careful not to catch something else!"

Even recalling those words now, Gu Ningyue felt waves of nausea.

Cannot understand the psychology of these people, or perhaps they’ve long since been different from normal.

Even some prisoners in jails might have more humanity than them.

The last time she flushed the purchased goods down the drain, Gu Ningyue dialed Director Chen’s number.

Since she had already found what she wanted, it was time to deal with these scumbags.

"Young Madam Ling, Ye Mingchen’s case has been filed, the evidence is conclusive, and they’re about to make an arrest."

The call ended with these sudden words from Director Chen.

Gu Ningyue’s heart leaped with joy, "May I ask when?"

Director Chen replied: "The arrest warrant is still being applied, it should be approved soon. At most, it won’t exceed the end of the month!"

Which meant, very soon, Ye Mingchen would be joining Gu Heng in there.

It’s a pity though, Gu Heng might have a future, but Ye Mingchen might not.

Finally, some good news came during this time!

Thinking of all that Ye Mingchen had done to the original owner, Gu Ningyue felt that even if he died a thousand times, it wouldn’t atone for his sins.

Someone she had liked for so long, treated so well, and yet he sent her to her death without a second thought.

This cold-hearted man, enjoying his wealth, beauty, and luxuries.

No matter how she thought about it, it felt deeply unfair!

Now it’s good, she finally had some closure, and all that remained was to track down Bai Chengfan.

Unexpectedly, this matter had ties to Bai Chengfan, Gu Wanwan’s hand had stretched quite far!
