Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 244: Fatal Blow

The sun was setting in the west, and Gu Ningyue leaned against the balcony, watching the scenery in the sky, enjoying the breeze on her face, feeling the rare tranquility.

Bai Chengfan has been arrested. After waiting for some time for the court sentencing, whether it’s the death penalty or life imprisonment, there is no need to worry about him appearing in the underworld again.

The incident of Shen Hanyin’s injury has come to an end. Now, what needs to be worried about is the whereabouts of the Heimu Organization and the Blood Jade.

I don’t know if Lin Ruixian can accomplish the task this time. If he can retrieve the Blood Jade, that would be ideal.

If he cannot, then hopefully Lin Ruixian can return safely without getting injured.

After having eaten, Gu Ningyue drove to the airport to see Lin Ruixian off.

Before leaving, she gave countless reminders, appearing as though she was sending him to heaven rather than to Y City.

Lin Ruixian was somewhat amused, "Alright, alright, it’s not like I’m not coming back. I’ll retreat at the first sign of trouble, don’t worry!"

Gu Ningyue looked at him irritably, "Go early and return early, I’ll keep a close eye on him."

Lin Ruixian nodded, "Yes, Bai Chengfan has been in society for so many years, he shouldn’t misjudge. I’m boarding now, you go back safely."

Gu Ningyue responded, watching Lin Ruixian leave with his suitcase in her sight, then turned and left.

Just as she sat in the car, a notification sound suddenly came from her phone.

"Sister-in-law, can you come to the house? I’m so upset."

Gu Ningyue paused in her action of turning the key and dialed the phone: "Liu Liu, what’s wrong?"

Upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s concerned voice, Liu Liu’s suppressed sadness seemed to become uncontrollable, with some sobs: "I went to see Tianze. He keeps begging me to find someone to help him get out. I... Xuanxuan has been crying, I don’t know what to do! I don’t have any friends here, sister-in-law, can you come back to keep me company?"

She and Ling Tianze had been living abroad with the elders, and after returning to A City, this incident occurred before she could make new friends, which was a fatal blow to a woman who had always been carefully cared for.

Thinking back to when she first arrived at the Ling Family, Liu Liu’s defenselessly friendly demeanor towards her, Gu Ningyue thought for a moment and agreed.

After all, she had been treated gently before.

Driving all the way to the Ling Family villa, just as the car was parked, the butler had already come out to welcome her: "Miss Gu, please come inside."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Is Tianyou home?"

The butler said while walking, "The eldest young master has not returned."

Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, that’s good.

Heading straight to Liu Liu’s room, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Liu’s eyes red from crying: "How about Xuanxuan? Asleep?"

Liu Liu beckoned her to sit on the chair, saying hoarsely: "No, I sent him to my parents. Right now, I have no energy to take care of him."

Rather than letting him stay beside her and suffer, it’s better to have him leave her side for a while.

Gu Ningyue sighed, "Does Uncle Ling know about this?"

If they knew the son always by their side had done such a thing, it’s unimaginable how heartbroken they would be.

Liu Liu shook her head, "Not yet, my brother said he will tell them. As long as I don’t soften my heart and let Tianze out of custody, it’s fine."

But even just this, she found it incredibly hard to accomplish.

Ever since returning from the detention center, all she thought about was Ling Tianze’s haggard appearance.

"Sister-in-law, Tianze won’t suffer inside, will he? Will he..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Ningyue interrupted her: "Don’t think too much. As long as he listens, the path ahead will be easier. You must not soften your heart now; softening your heart harms him. If you’re worried, visit him often, it’ll get better over time."

Liu Liu nodded, and she looked like she had lost all her former radiance.

Gu Ningyue comforted her for a long time, and Liu Liu finally managed to pull out a forced smile.

Though the smile was more unsightly than crying, it was better than nothing.

"When will Uncle Ling return?" Seeing her improvement, Gu Ningyue changed the subject.

Liu Liu thought for a moment: "Originally, it would’ve been another month, but yesterday, my brother’s call said there was an urgent matter at home, they should return in these two days. Let me ask!"

Speaking, Liu Liu took out her phone and made a call to the elders.

Listening nearby, Gu Ningyue heard them would return in three days?

At the end of the call, Gu Ningyue suddenly heard Mrs. Ling say: "How have Tianyou and Ning Yue been lately? Did he mention when they plan to get engaged?"

Liu Liu glanced at Gu Ningyue, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Pretty good, but my brother hasn’t said, though... it should be soon!"

Gu Ningyue thought, engagement? A man who celebrates birthdays for others and doesn’t even answer her calls, how could he possibly get engaged to her?

If there truly is an engagement, it should be Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui, ha!

She stayed at the Ling Family until eight o’clock, and the butler had set the table, Liu Liu invited Gu Ningyue to dinner.

"If you don’t come, it’s just me left here." Liu Liu’s eyes were red, and she looked extremely haggard. "Tianze isn’t here, and my brother cannot conveniently return often."

Just a few days, and her complexion had lost its previous glow.

Gu Ningyue suggested: "Hey, if this doesn’t work, go stay with your parents for two days! It’s okay to leave this place empty for a day or two."

Liu Liu shook her head, "No, if my parents see me like this, they’ll probably worry. Let’s leave it..."

Gu Ningyue sighed, "Once Uncle Ling returns, it will get better. Tianze is not inherently bad, it will surely get better."

These words were, of course, meant to comfort Liu Liu; otherwise, just in this way, a person would break down.

Among the people she had seen, either they kept cycling through life, or they died, very few truly succeeded completely.

She wasn’t familiar with Ling Tianze and didn’t know whether he could succeed.

But seeing Liu Liu’s current state, she still wanted to speak optimistically.

After all, one cannot live without hope.

After finishing their meal and sitting for a while, Gu Ningyue glanced at the time: "Liu Liu, I have to go, I have things to handle tomorrow."

Liu Liu looked at her with a hint of yearning in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you stay with me tonight?"

Seeing her tearful eyes, Gu Ningyue felt somewhat swayed, thought for a moment but shook her head: "I’ll come see you tomorrow, but tonight I won’t be staying here."

Liu Liu was visibly disappointed, but she didn’t continue: "Then take care on your way, let me know when you get home."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright."

Seeing Gu Ningyue to the door, before the butler could open it, sounds of a car stopping were heard in the courtyard. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, then she heard a servant come in saying: "Mrs. Ling, Miss Gu, the eldest young master is back!"
