Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 228: He Promises

Ling Tianyou didn’t lie.

Lately, he really has been very busy.

Not only does the company have a pile of things to deal with, but there have also been some unexpected incidents at home.

Since the elderly couple went traveling, it was just Ling Tianze, Liu Liu, and Xiao Xuan left in the villa.

During this time Ling Tianze somehow met an Italy expatriate, and it escalated from coming home late to not coming home at all.

At first, Liu Liu didn’t think much of it, but one day when he returned, Ling Tianze suddenly had an extremely unpleasant smell on him.

Since they had lived abroad for a long time, Liu Liu, although not unfamiliar with this scent, wasn’t completely unaware of it.

It was—the smell of marijuana!

Liu Liu thought for a long time and eventually couldn’t help but confront Ling Tianze.

Ling Tianze rarely saw his wife angry and almost immediately promised that he did not partake, and it was just a party where someone was using it, so he got the smell on him!

Ling Tianze indeed had fresh breath, and his mental state was no different from when he left, not at all looking like someone who had used.

After thinking it over for a long time, Liu Liu decided to let it go this time, but forbade him from messing about again.

Unexpectedly, after staying home for a few days, Ling Tianze disappeared again, only returning late at night.

Despite Liu Liu’s repeated warnings, Ling Tianze knelt and promised, and the matter was glossed over once more.

Until a few days ago, Ling Tianze directly disappeared overnight, and when he came back, his complexion was already somewhat abnormal.

Under Liu Liu’s questioning, Ling Tianze initially refused to admit it, but when Liu Liu started crying, he finally told the truth.

Someone brought ’new stuff’ to the party, specifically for upper-class people, praised as incredible.

He couldn’t resist the curiosity and tried some.

From that one try, he couldn’t stop.

Upon hearing this, Liu Liu’s body went limp, and she sat directly on the floor.

At the time, Xiao Xuan was playing nearby, and seeing his mom cry, although not knowing what happened, could vaguely sense it was about dad.

The mother and child hugged each other, and finally, Ling Tianze knelt again, promising there wouldn’t be a second time.

But this time, Liu Liu just sat on the couch motionless, as if she could already see the bleak future.

After this day, Ling Tianze was confined to the house.

Initially, he was obedient, but gradually became inexplicably irritable.

Liu Liu understood the stakes here and refused to relent to let him out.

She didn’t dare tell her parents or parents-in-law. After much thought, she finally told Ling Tianyou.

Upon learning these things, for the first time as an adult, Ling Tianyou hit his brother.

"Don’t you know what you can and can’t touch?" When he found out, Ling Tianyou wished he could punch through his skull: "When mom and dad come back, you tell them yourself! Don’t expect anyone to cover for you this time."

Since young, Ling Tianyou always protected him.

It’s precisely because of knowing this that Ling Tianze had such a flamboyant personality.

As a child, Ling Tianze was reluctant to admit this, but now with a five-year-old child, no matter the reluctance, it is a reality.

He not only has a good background but also a good brother.

Just like those people say, as long as Ling Tianze is around, he’ll have an endless supply for life.

But, why does everyone only remember the three words Ling Tianyou?

Is his name not worthy of remembrance?

Ling Tianze harbored some resentment in his heart, but right before he was about to retort, he changed his tune: "Brother, I really just tried it once, I promise there won’t be a second time, I know I’m wrong! Really! Look, I’ve been home these days, and haven’t even gotten addicted, ask Liu Liu if you don’t believe me, Liu Liu, tell big brother, I..."

Ling Tianyou didn’t even glance at Liu Liu, only stared at his brother and said: "Liu Liu is soft-hearted. If you want me to believe you, immediately cut off ties with those people! Immediately!"

Ling Tianze hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly: "Alright!"

Under Ling Tianyou’s watch, he deleted all of their contact information.

Except for the man with the white landscape avatar, the one who played golf with him.

"Finished." Ling Tianze handed the phone to Ling Tianyou for inspection: "Look if you don’t believe me!"

Ling Tianyou took the phone and checked it together with Liu Liu before returning it to Ling Tianze.

This time, Ling Tianze fortunately didn’t stir up any trouble, spending days at home with Liu Liu and coaxing Ling Xuan, but then some problems arose in his company.

Someone unbeknownst to him invested in a project under the Ye Family, which failed and the company almost lost several million.

Though several million isn’t much for him, as a businessman, this kind of mistake is inconceivable.

After this series of events, he had little energy left to give to Gu Ningyue.

Because Chen Rui was involved. She came to the office occasionally, and every time her visit naturally involved meeting Ling Tianyou.

Especially after being drunkenly harassed once, Ling Tianyou took on the responsibility of sending her home.

After all, if something happened after leaving his company, he couldn’t easily shirk responsibility.

If not for today receiving a call from Chi Xingtong, who knows how long it would have taken him to contact Gu Ningyue?

Perhaps very soon, or perhaps very late.

He originally intended to settle these matters before bringing Gu Ningyue home.

He didn’t know whether he was avoiding or whether it was just meant to be.

In any case, upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s unhappiness, all his suppressed, escapist longing burst forth.

He thought, Gu Ningyue must care about him!

So, that’s why Chi Xingtong made such a call to him.

But why didn’t she come and ask him herself?

Five minutes later, the assistant approached him.

"President Ling, any instructions?"

Ling Tianyou looked at his assistant and asked: "The person I told you to investigate—how’s that going?"

The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked: "President Ling, are you referring to Xia Yingbai, or Yun Jin?"

During this time, Ling Tianyou had already initiated investigations on two people.

Ling Tianyou replied: "Yun Jin!"

Xia Yingbai... we’ll leave him for later! Right now, he didn’t want to know.

The assistant replied: "I’ve been tracking Yun Jin, but despite using many methods, there’s no trace of him. His name and identity might have been fake from the start."

Ling Tianyou frowned slightly, "Are there no other clues?"

"There is one, but it’s about Miss Lu." The assistant looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "After Miss Lu brought Ji Qianqian back from Y city, for some reason, she returned there not long after. As of now, neither has come back. Besides this, there are no other clues."

They went back to Y city? Ling Tianyou was puzzled, what would they do there?

Ling Tianyou pondered for a while, then waved his hand for the assistant to leave.
