Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 227: What on Earth Happened

Gu Ningyue opened her computer, trying to find Bai Chengfan’s whereabouts, but despite spending a lot of time and effort, she could only confirm that he had been in City A during this period.

As for where he was staying or his exact location, there was absolutely no way to know.

It’s only expected; with his always cautious nature, if he could be found so easily, he wouldn’t have managed to stay hidden for so many years before getting caught.

"Ding dong, ding dong—"

A sequence of doorbell rings was heard, and Gu Ningyue, wearing slippers, walked to the door.

Outside, a delivery guy was holding a box.

"Hello, your package, please sign for it."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the inscription on it; indeed, it was her name.

But how could she have had the leisure to shop during this time? This wasn’t something she bought.

Just when she was about to refuse receipt, Gu Ningyue’s phone rang.

A transoceanic number appeared, causing her to frown slightly: "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, a familiar voice came through: "Ning Yue, it’s Xing Tong. Did you receive the gift I sent you? Hurry, open it and see if you like it!"

"It’s you!" Gu Ningyue sighed in relief, quickly signed her name on the receipt, and after the delivery boy left, she returned back inside: "What did you send back? It’s so heavy!"

Chi Xingtong chuckled: "Of course, it’s good stuff! Open it quickly and see!"

Gu Ningyue could feel Chi Xingtong’s excitement through the screen, as if she were the one about to open the gift.

Finding a knife, Gu Ningyue cut along the edges of the box, quickly understanding the reason for Chi Xingtong’s anticipation.

"Be honest, did you kidnap a designer?"

Inside the box were a few pieces of very luxurious dresses neatly placed, each with unique and captivating designs.

"I begged for a long time; these may not be the world’s most beautiful, but they are certainly unique worldwide." Chi Xingtong was very proud, as if these clothes were made by her own hands: "How are they? Aren’t they stunning?"

Gu Ningyue’s fingers slid across the soft fabric, "Indeed, they’re very beautiful."

Chi Xingtong giggled, "You must wear them well! I’ve prepared the battle armor for you, so you definitely can’t lose!"

Gu Ningyue hesitated, only then understanding why Chi Xingtong sent her these items.

So, this was what she was waiting for!

Carefully calculating, it’s been over ten days since Shen Hanyin’s incident.

During these over ten days, Ling Tianyou hasn’t sent a single message to her.

And she, very sensibly, hadn’t troubled Ling Tianyou either, or rather, she didn’t have time.

Every time she thought of Ling Tianyou, she forced herself to focus on her tasks at hand.

So up till now, the two of them hadn’t spoken a single word.

"Why not say something?" Chi Xingtong thought it was a signal issue and said "Hello" several times before finally hearing Gu Ningyue’s response: "You didn’t argue, did you?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No."

How could it be argued? That could only be described as... an unhappy separation.

Ling Tianyou hasn’t contacted her for so long, probably those clothes won’t have any use.

Chi Xingtong was incredulous, nervously asking, "You weren’t coerced by Chen Rui and already eliminated, were you?"

Gu Ningyue thought for a while, "Hard to say, but even if it’s the case! If he likes Chen Rui, then bless him!"

If it isn’t hers, no matter how much effort she makes, it won’t matter; she learned this truth long ago.

"Ah!!! Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Chi Xingtong almost immediately freaked out, "Gu Ningyue, no way! Ling Tianyou is yours! You must be strong!"

Gu Ningyue could even imagine Chi Xingtong’s frantic appearance, and somehow, she suddenly laughed out loud: "If you can’t hold onto sand, why not just let it fall; you haven’t heard this saying? Also, how do you know Ling Tianyou is mine?"

Chi Xingtong suddenly fell silent, pausing for a long while before saying: "I just know. At least I find you much more agreeable than that little bitch Chen Rui."

Gu Ningyue chuckled lightly: "It’s all right, anyway you can’t see Chen Rui now across miles of water. Let it go! Honestly speaking, Ling Tianyou and I have not spoken a word for half a month. We haven’t even exchanged a single message, not a word."

Chi Xingtong was dumbstruck, "How could this happen? Did something happen between you two?"

In her memory, Gu Ningyue has always been special to Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou, is he really willing not to care for Gu Ningyue? There must be something unknown to her happening.

"Nothing, nothing at all," Gu Ningyue looked at the items in the box, feeling inexplicably sad: "Thanks for your gift, I’ll hang up now, I’ll chat on WeChat later."

After hanging up, Chi Xingtong stared at her phone, even more puzzled.

What happened? Knowing each other for so long, it was the first time she heard Gu Ningyue speak to her in such a low tone.

No way, I have to call Ling Tianyou and ask.

In the Ling Family CEO’s office, Ling Tianyou’s phone suddenly rang.

"Xing Tong? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

Whenever Chi Xingtong left City A, she would stay there for several months before she thought of calling him for a chat.

This time she had only been back for a month, and was already calling him?

"Nothing, I’m not very busy today, so I thought I’d call to ask what you’re up to!" Chi Xingtong teased, "But what you said isn’t right! It sounds like I forget about you as soon as I go back."

Ling Tianyou said lightly: "Oh? Just asking what I’m doing?"

Growing up together, nobody knows Chi Xingtong’s little schemes better than him.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Chi Xingtong finally asked, "Have you and Gu Ningyue had an argument recently? I just called Gu Ningyue, and her voice sounded quite off!"

Hearing Gu Ningyue’s name, a thrill inexplicably ran through Ling Tianyou’s heart: "What, what’s wrong with her?"

Chi Xingtong heard an opportunity and immediately spoke with pretended mystery: "I don’t know either; I’m not in City A, you stumped me with that question. However, it’s the first time I’ve heard her sound so despondent!"

Ling Tianyou was silent for a moment, "Did she say anything to you?"

Though given Gu Ningyue’s temperament now, more likely than not, she wouldn’t say anything.

But upon hearing that Gu Ningyue was not doing well, he still held a bit of hope that she would say something to Chi Xingtong.

Unfortunately, ultimately it was disappointing.

Chi Xingtong: "No, she didn’t say anything. She only mentioned that you haven’t contacted her in a long time."

Chi Xingtong: "Why don’t you call her and ask yourself?"

Ling Tianyou paused, his voice tinged with a hint of coldness: "I’ve been really busy lately, there are many things in the company to deal with, there are some issues that need attention, I’ll wait until I get past this busy period!"

Once this was said, Chi Xingtong couldn’t help but become even more curious.

What exactly happened between these two?
