Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 237: Retribution

All day, apart from changing the dressing, Gu Ningyue stayed by Shen Hanyin’s bedside.

Mrs. Shen’s eyes were filled with worry. Several times she wanted to say something but was stopped by Mr. Shen.

When the sun completely set, Gu Ningyue got up and left the hospital.

"I keep feeling that girl is up to something. Honey, should we send more people today?"

"Hmm." Mr. Shen nodded, "However... I’m afraid it’ll be useless."

These days, although people were sent to follow Gu Ningyue, it seemed she had already noticed, but allowed them to act freely!

"Should we inform President Ling?" Mrs. Shen pondered for a while, looking at her husband, "Even though Chen Rui is back, Ning Yue is still his fiancée in name. If something were to happen, for the sake of reputation, he can’t just ignore it, right?"

Mr. Shen sighed, "Today is Chen Rui’s birthday party, let’s talk about it after today!"

In such a setting, Ling Tianyou probably doesn’t want to hear about another woman, right!

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a long time, then sighed, "This child Ning Yue, such a bitter fate!"

Her biological mother passed away early; after years of hardship, she finally thought she found someone to rely on, but it might just be a dream.

Sigh...

At seven, the summer sunset faded away, the sky’s afterglow like fire. Gu Ningyue, in a white dress, stood in the evening breeze watching Xiaomaozi walk towards her, a hint of a smile on her lips.

Even though Xiaomaozi was shocked by her beauty, despite her long-term drug use, "You’re alone? No one followed, right?"

"Of course. Shall we go now or wait a bit?"

Xiaomaozi said, "If we go now, it will be dark by the time we arrive."

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "That far?"

Xiaomaozi nodded, "Take my car, yours is too conspicuous, might cause unwanted trouble!"

Gu Ningyue glanced back at her car; Lin Ruixian was watching from a corner not far away.

"Alright then!"

Pretending to sit in the back, Gu Ningyue quickly sent Lin Ruixian a message.

A few minutes later, Lin Ruixian replied, "You go first, I have a way. Following now is too easy to be exposed."

Gu Ningyue deleted the chat box, closed her eyes, and rested in the seat.

The car drove for forty minutes, and just as Gu Ningyue was getting drowsy, Xiaomaozi’s car stopped, "We’re here!"

Gu Ningyue opened her eyes, the sky had darkened unknowingly.

She pushed the car door open, an old villa stood before her.

"Isn’t this a city village?" Gu Ningyue looked around, frowning slightly, "Why here?"

A city’s village was very dilapidated, the government always talked about demolition and reconstruction, but it never started.

The rent here was cheap but chaotic, even worse than the place where Gu Ningyue previously went to find Nan Shaoyue.

Xiaomaozi, having known her ’young lady temperament,’ joked, "This villa looks old, but inside it’s nice, you’ll see, let’s go!"

Gu Ningyue turned back to look, in the deep night, not a single figure was visible.

Was Lin Ruixian hiding or had he not come at all?

For some reason, a deep unease rose within Gu Ningyue.

It felt as if this was not a gateway but a ghost gate.

Yet even so, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

Now that she’s here, how could she retreat?

After passing the gate, Xiaomaozi exchanged a code, and soon someone opened the door to let them in.

Upon seeing Gu Ningyue, the doorman’s eyes lit up, "Xiaomaozi, you’re quite something! Your girlfriend?"

Xiaomaozi immediately said, "Don’t talk nonsense, a friend, here to pick up something."

The doorman smiled strangely, "Then come in quickly, the boss is coming soon!"

Gu Ningyue listened to their conversation without reacting, the boss? Are they referring to Bai Chengfan?

Entering the hall, some were chatting on the sofa, others couldn’t wait to start smoking.

Gu Ningyue frowned, clearly disgusted by the sight, "I’ll sit over there for a while."

Xiaomaozi glanced at the spot Gu Ningyue pointed to, quietly reminding, "I have some goods here, if you can’t hold it, you can have some from me, hehe!"

Gu Ningyue nodded perfunctorily, then turned to sit on a high stool in the corner.

She took out her phone and swiped the screen, the phone was empty, Lin Ruixian seemed to have disappeared from the world.

If it were in the past, Gu Ningyue might not have been so anxious.

But it’s been a while since her last mission, every action makes her anxious.

To be safe, Gu Ningyue shared her location, then, as usual, deleted the conversation.

After waiting a long time, Lin Ruixian still hadn’t replied.

While contemplating what to do if Lin Ruixian was in trouble, if something unexpected happened, a hand suddenly tapped her shoulder.

"Ah!" Gu Ningyue was startled, quickly putting down her phone and turning her head.

A man in a black suit, looking haggard, appeared in her sight.

"First time here?"

Gu Ningyue eyed him warily, "What do you want?"

Although his suit was branded, the cuffs were worn.

He seemed once to be well-off, just unfortunate to have fallen on hard times.

"Nothing, just wanted to chat seeing you sitting here alone, you don’t mind, do you?"

Seeing his demeanor, Gu Ningyue didn’t need to guess that everyone here was an addict.

She had to be cautious with every word not to slip up.

And the best way is to avoid interaction as much as possible.

"Sorry, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I want to be alone for a while."

Hearing this, the man said nothing, nor did he rise to leave.

He just sat there quietly, observing Gu Ningyue’s expression, as if trying to discern something.

Gu Ningyue’s fingers tightened slightly, her face remained calm.

After an unknown period, the man finally left.

Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, waiting quietly for the boss Xiaomaozi mentioned.

In the background, broken conversations rose from the sofa.

"How long since we’ve had a party? Heard there are newcomers today."

"The boss sure has skills, heard two of them are extremely wealthy, can use ’drugs’ for a lifetime without worry. We might be able to profit off them too."

"Hehe, how many have you tricked already, careful of retribution."

"Retribution? If there were retribution in this world, those who tricked me into addiction should have been punished long ago!"
