Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 254: Not Very Reliable

At home, while browsing the web, trying to find more information on Jin Lin, Gu Ningyue suddenly sneezed: "Why did it suddenly get so cold?"

A few minutes later, the phone beside her rang—Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue’s right eye suddenly twitched, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

Why is he suddenly calling me now?

To answer or not?

As she hesitated, the ringtone ended.

Just as Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, the ringtone started again.

Ling Tianyou unexpectedly persevered and called a second time, which was not like him.

It must be something urgent!

This time, Gu Ningyue hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Ling Tianyou got straight to the point, without any useless words.

Listening to his slightly cool tone, Gu Ningyue paused: "What’s wrong? Is there something up?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t answer, just insistently asked, "Answer my previous question, where are you now?"

Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment, "You already know?"

"Why didn’t you go back after leaving the Gu Family?" Ling Tianyou restrained his emotions, preventing his tone from sounding too turbulent: "Am I that unworthy of your reliance?"

Left the Gu Family, yet unwilling to return to his side.

"I’ve said before, there are some things I need time to think about." With the matter exposed, Gu Ningyue simply spoke frankly: "Besides, isn’t your situation with Chen Rui also unclear?"

Thinking of this made Gu Ningyue particularly unhappy.

This bothers her, even though she herself feels vexed about it.

Just a man, why spoil her mood?

But, she just couldn’t control it.

"Are you jealous of Chen Rui, so you didn’t come back to stay?" Ling Tianyou pondered and asked.

If that’s the case, for some reason, he’s not as angry anymore.

Gu Ningyue didn’t speak, is that it? She didn’t know either.

Seeing her silence, Ling Tianyou took it as her acquiescence, and his mood improved a bit, switching the topic to ask: "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Nothing." After answering, Gu Ningyue realized she had responded too quickly.

Sure enough, the next moment Ling Tianyou asked: "Then tomorrow night, I’ll pick you up. Where are you staying now?"

Gu Ningyue thought about it; this villa was bought by Ling Tianyou, if he wanted to find me, he would definitely come here.

It’s bound to get exposed sooner or later, better to just tell him!

"At the villa you bought for me before," Gu Ningyue replied.

Ling Tianyou sighed with relief, "Then I’ll pick you up tomorrow."

Fortunately, at least she’s staying in a property he procured.

Gu Ningyue wasn’t completely refusing him.

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue looked at the luxurious decor; such a good house, might as well live in it.

Otherwise, in the future, who knows who it will belong to?

Continuing to browse information online, everything about Jin Lin from the start of his career has been too normal.

The traces left online are few and far between, but for some reason, Gu Ningyue felt like there was something she’d missed.

After repeatedly reviewing the information she had compiled for about an hour, just as Gu Ningyue was about to give up and shut down the computer, her eyes suddenly fixated on a news article from three years ago.

Three years ago, Jin Lin was invited to attend an awards ceremony, and on the guest list for that ceremony, there seemed to be a name she knew.

Zooming in on the list, her mouse slowly scrolling over until it stopped on the name ’Wu Wenting’.

Wu Wenting had some encounters during the execution of previous tasks.

She is a surgeon, why would she appear on the Jade Bank’s list?

Investigating Wu Wenting’s activities over the past two years and her bank transfers showed she received at least 200,000 annually in recent years.

And these funds came from different accounts each time, untraceable.

Dialing Lin Ruixian’s number, after explaining all the newly discovered information, Gu Ningyue said: "Jin Lin isn’t very reliable, better not hand the Blood Jade to him, find someone else!"

Lin Ruixian thought for a while, "If he has ties with the Heimu Organization or other people behind him, he must already know I have the Blood Jade. Even if we switch people, the risk still won’t be small."

Gu Ningyue asked: "What do you plan to do?"

Lin Ruixian chuckled, "I’ll first see his final product. If it’s decent, on the day the Blood Jade is carved, I’ll be present the whole time. Just remember to guard my post then!"

Gu Ningyue suddenly understood his meaning, "Okay."

With Lin Ruixian’s capabilities, he can surely manage Jin Lin to perfectly carve the Blood Jade for him.

As long as they ensure that only Jin Lin and Lin Ruixian are in the room that day, undisturbed by others, success is inevitable.

Thinking of this made her even more envious of Lin Ruixian’s abilities.

If she had those abilities, she might know everything she wishes to know!

Then at that time, Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui’s relationship wouldn’t bother her so much.

Wait, why is she thinking about Ling Tianyou again?

It must be that phone call earlier, stop thinking, stop thinking, change medicine and sleep!

The next morning, while changing her medicine, Gu Ningyue noticed her wound was healing noticeably faster than before.

Probably because she had rested well and had good nutrition these past few days, the wound wasn’t as bothersome as before, occasionally aching.

Maybe in two more weeks, she’ll be able to go to the hospital to remove the stitches.

After having some breakfast, Gu Ningyue played on the computer, and suddenly received a message from Ji Qianqian on her phone.

Listening to Ji Qianqian’s naive voice made Gu Ningyue feel somewhat sad.

After pondering a while, Gu Ningyue sent a voice invitation over, and Ji Qianqian quickly answered: "Sister!"

Gu Ningyue felt a pang of guilt at the sound of ’sister’, and suddenly a thought emerged in her mind.

This time Lin Ruixian didn’t ask her to go to Y City with him, perhaps because he wanted to prevent her from personally snatching the Blood Jade, making her unable to face Ji Qianqian?

If that’s the case, then Lin Ruixian really is thoughtful.

"What is Qianqian doing?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ji Qianqian’s voice drifted through the screen like a lively lark: "Sister Qingqing made sweet and sour fish for me, we’re about to eat! Sister, did you eat yet?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, the Blood Jade was snatched, yet Lu Qingqing still had the mood to cook?

"I’ve eaten. Is Qianqian in A City?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ji Qianqian said: "Yes, Sister never comes to play with me! Sigh~!"

"Qianqian, come eat." Lu Qingqing’s voice suddenly came through, and Ji Qianqian promptly responded, giving Gu Ningyue a sign-off before hanging up the call.
