Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 230: Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother
The man’s street nickname is Little Mao, and before getting into XD, he was a sprinter, a famous speedster in the province.
However, looking at him now, it’s really difficult to associate the pale, timid man standing in front of her with the confident figure from the newspapers.
If it were before, Gu Ningyue probably couldn’t wait for such a person to disappear from her sight.
But now, she has no choice but to save his miserable life.
"I have a friend working in the anti-drug squad; I heard they’re going on an operation tonight, so be careful," Gu Ningyue glanced at her watch: "There’s twenty minutes left. You’d better leave quickly!"
Little Mao quivered, his already jittery eyes turning more terrified: "Okay, I’ll call them now and tell them to hide out first."
Gu Ningyue shook her head: "Someone’s phone has already been tapped among them. If you make that call, you won’t be able to escape either."
Upon hearing this, Little Mao immediately dismissed the idea of alerting others and just looked to Gu Ningyue: "Next time you come over, I’ll give you something purer."
Gu Ningyue acknowledged his words, watching as he stopped a car and disappeared before her.
Once the car had driven a distance away, she, too, drove off.
At eight in the evening, Little Mao called, asking if she was all right.
That question was pointless; Gu Ningyue replied indifferently: "How many of your associates were caught?"
Little Mao: "Five, one swallowed a blade and was released, the rest were sent for mandatory detox. Thanks for this time."
Gu Ningyue chuckled: "No need to thank me; I’m just here for the goods. I heard... a batch of top-quality goods arrived in City A, I’d like a pack to try."
From hearing those scumbags talk last time, it was clear that Bai Chengfan had funneled some things into City A.
But these things, ordinary people wouldn’t get near them.
Having interacted for so long, Little Mao had already seen Gu Ningyue’s financial prowess.
Having helped him evade one disaster again today, Little Mao instantly said: "No problem, there’s a banquet in two days’ time. Our boss is bringing some goods in. If you’re interested, I can talk to the boss to let you in."
Gu Ningyue responded, feigning fear as she cautiously asked: "It’s possible, but as a girl, there shouldn’t be any danger, right? I heard..."
Before she finished speaking, Little Mao had already chuckled lightly: "If you’re scared, you can take the goods and leave. But be careful not to get spotted by the police. If you do, even if you’re fine, our boss won’t let you off."
Gu Ningyue inwardly scoffed; Bai Chengfan won’t let her off? Ridiculous, a defeated hand dares to flaunt before her?
At that moment, it’s uncertain who won’t let whom off!
After hanging up, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed for a while, then rose to change the dressing on her wound.
The weather grows hotter by the day, making the wound that should’ve healed long ago not recovering well.
Though better than before, allowing her to use some moves, her agility improved relatively, yet at that moment, her body might struggle to escape accidents.
To be safe, she ought to call Lin Ruixian.
Now, only Lin Ruixian can help her.
With this thought, Gu Ningyue took out her phone and sent him a message.
"What are you up to? How’s the wound?"
"After so many days, it’s almost healed. How about you?"
"That’s good, let’s go out for dinner together then! Are you free?"
"I am, but it’ll be after nine. The store just opened, it’s a bit busy."
"Alright, then I’ll come find you?"
"Sure."
After buying some stuff, Gu Ningyue drove to Lin Ruixian’s shop.
The Japanese restaurant finally officially opened, and business seemed to be thriving.
Ah Yan saw her arrive and greeted her with a smile: "Our boss is in the kitchen, Miss Gu, please wait a moment, I’ll go get him."
Gu Ningyue nodded, and three minutes later, she saw Lin Ruixian wearing an apron.
He was always elegantly handsome, and now he appeared even more domestic.
Except, there was a hint of mischief in his eyes, adding an air of aloofness.
Gu Ningyue crossed her arms and nodded, teasing: "Hmm, looks like a perfect wife and mother!"
"Enough of that. Why come so early? The sky’s just darkened."
Gu Ningyue handed him the items she’d bought, "Hey, I didn’t come when you opened, said I’d show my support; consider this as compensation."
Seeing the ginseng pattern on the box, Lin Ruixian reached out and received it: "You must need a favor from me, right! How come you’re willing to buy such an expensive gift for me?"
Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, "Afraid? Give it back then, I’ll make soup to nourish myself!"
Lin Ruixian’s lips curled, "Alright, sit here with Ah Yan for a bit; I still have something unfinished in the kitchen."
Gu Ningyue acknowledged his words, watching as Lin Ruixian returned to the kitchen. She casually turned to Ah Yan and asked: "Is your boss’s wound really healed? His complexion doesn’t look all that great!"
Ah Yan said: "Due to the heat these days, our boss might’ve gotten heatstroke. The wound is healed though, probably no big deal."
Gu Ningyue nodded thoughtfully: "That’s good."
Staying in the shop until it was nearly closing, Lin Ruixian and Gu Ningyue finally managed to leave.
"Your shop’s business is too good," Gu Ningyue wiped sweat from her forehead: "Better hire two more servers! How could you manage otherwise?"
When she arrived, the place wasn’t too crowded, but half an hour later, the shop was overflowing with guests.
Not just that, people continuously took out orders.
No wonder Lin Ruixian had to personally cook; a single chef indeed couldn’t handle all the orders.
Lin Ruixian considered: "Better not; after this period, it’ll be the off-season. No need to hire; I’ll give higher bonuses then!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Where shall we eat?"
Lin Ruixian swung the car key: "How about hotpot? Haven’t been in ages, right?"
Gu Ningyue said: "Anything’s fine."
Lin Ruixian turned his head: "Then, shall we take my car?"
Gu Ningyue glanced at her Maserati, "Sure, let’s take yours!"
Her own car was too conspicuous; should she happen upon Ling Tianyou or some other acquaintance, explanations would be futile.
They both got into the car, and when fastening her seatbelt, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but grimace. Ouch, it hurt.
"What’s wrong? The wound’s not healed?" Lin Ruixian started the car and suddenly asked this.
Gu Ningyue nodded, "The heat is making it hard to heal."
Lin Ruixian chuckled lightly: "Maybe because you’ve been running around so much these days, the wound hasn’t healed properly."
Gu Ningyue glanced at him but didn’t reply.
