Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 238: Why Are You Here

Music was playing in the mansion as they talked, and after an indeterminate amount of time, the wooden door of the hall opened again.

Gu Ningyue looked over, and saw a familiar figure come into view.

Though thinner than before, he was in a good state of mind, completely different from the people in this room.

Seeing his attire, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but mutter in her heart: After all this time, his taste still hasn’t changed?

Still wearing a white suit as before, his hair slicked back, from afar he seemed to be shining.

Greasy, unbelievably greasy.

Unintentionally, their eyes met, and Bai Chengfan immediately looked away.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile, it seemed having a new appearance had its perks.

At least these old acquaintances were completely unguarded against her current self.

From a distance, watching Bai Chengfan walk among these people, observing them flatter the former leader, Gu Ningyue remained seated steadily with no intention of speaking.

Only when Bai Chengfan had handed out all the goods and sat down did Gu Ningyue stand and approach him, "Hello."

Bai Chengfan glanced at her, and after a brief exchange, the two moved to a corner.

Gu Ningyue looked at the white sealed bag in her hand, a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, Brother Bai."

Saying this, she retrieved a stack of cash from her bag, skillfully counted out some and handed it to Bai Chengfan.

"With the extra, can I have one of your contacts, Brother Bai?"

A radiant smile spread across Gu Ningyue’s pale face, she looked alluring even if weak.

For some reason, Bai Chengfan felt a flutter in his heart, a sudden urge to protect emerged.

But this feeling was fleeting, and reason soon took over, "I never leave contact information for anyone in this mansion. If you want to get goods, come here!"

Gu Ningyue showed a look of disappointment, "Is that so? Then can I invite Brother Bai for a drink later?"

There were too many eyes here, she had to find a way to get Bai Chengfan out, or Lin Ruixian wouldn’t be able to help her.

Even though... she didn’t know where Lin Ruixian was now...

Even though Bai Chengfan had just been released from prison, he still had people trying to ingratiate themselves with him.

Not for anything else, but for the goods he had. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The girl before him dressed extravagantly and was generous, comparable to that wealthy playboy from not long ago.

Just looking at how she handled the money, her family must have quite a fortune, otherwise she wouldn’t spend so lavishly.

Yet despite this, Bai Chengfan remained cautious, "Another day then."

Gu Ningyue shrugged, seemingly indifferent to the result, but inwardly she was already calculating her next move.

Should she take the goods out and call Director Chen, or lure Bai Chengfan out and act accordingly?

Considering the timing, even if Lin Ruixian hadn’t moved, he should have found her location by now!

While Gu Ningyue pondered this, Bai Chengfan had returned to his previous seat, no longer glancing in her direction.

She pulled out her phone and messaged Lin Ruixian again, but still received no response.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but worry, could something have happened to him?

Things had been unstable recently, perhaps someone had even set their sights on Lin Ruixian...

Should she just leave then?

At least now she could confirm Bai Chengfan would come to this mansion, which was the base for these people.

Staying here long-term would eventually gain Bai Chengfan’s trust.

However, the risk was too great, after all, second-hand drug exposure was not beneficial.

Most importantly, who knew when she’d slip up and be discovered, causing her efforts to go to waste.

Weighing pros and cons, Gu Ningyue decided to take swift action, today!

Just as she stood to implement her second plan, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.

Everyone turned their attention, including her.

Two people entangled, chasing down from the stairs.

To be precise, the man on the ground was getting beaten.

Everyone watched silently, no one stepped in to ask what happened, no one intervened.

At some point, Jingjing appeared beside her, perhaps seeing her confusion, he quietly explained, "The guy’s out of money, he must have gone upstairs to steal the boss’s goods. Happens often, get used to it."

Some people resort to shady tricks when short of money, he’d grown accustomed to it.

Seeing that the man was nearly beaten to a pulp, Bai Chengfan finally spoke to have him dragged out.

Gu Ningyue turned and asked Jingjing, "Are those the boss’s thugs?"

Jingjing nodded, glancing at the rooms upstairs, "Don’t wander here, just sit tight."

Gu Ningyue reconsidered and suddenly wanted to leave.

There were eight rooms upstairs, apparently each room had someone in it.

If she lured Bai Chengfan out, unless she dealt with him quickly, it would be difficult to leave this den with Lin Ruixian.

After all, while she couldn’t say she understood Bai Chengfan well, she knew his style.

Utterly ruthless, leaving no room.

"It’s too noisy here, I want to go back."

Gu Ningyue stood up, and just as Jingjing was about to escort her out, the wooden door of the mansion hall opened once more.

A slender figure walked in from outside, Gu Ningyue caught sight of him and her heart trembled!

How could it be him!

"—Ling Tianze!"

How did he come here?

A bad feeling repeated in her heart, and before she could move, Ling Tianyou had already sat on the couch and started snorting ice, completely unaware of her standing not far away.

Seemingly... had been thirsty for a long time.

"You know him?" Jingjing glanced at Ling Tianze and then the shocked Gu Ningyue, "...Yeah, you guys should be from the same circles."

Called back to reason by Jingjing’s words, Gu Ningyue steadied herself, "When did he start?"

Jingjing, "Probably about a month ago! Looks like his family has found out recently and has been strict, haven’t seen him since. Thought he wouldn’t come today!"

A month? Gu Ningyue furrowed her brow, just as Ling Tianze was about to take another hit, she stepped forward and gripped his hand, "Tianze! Enough!"

Ling Tianze was high, unable to bear this, and was about to curse when he suddenly cleared up, "Sis, sister-in-law... why are you here?"
