Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 259: Truth or Lie

As the sunset disappeared completely, the shop lost the daytime hustle and bustle, replacing it with a leisurely quiet.

Gu Ningyue sat in a chair, idly watching her phone while carefully listening to the sounds around her.

If the Heimu Organization is connected to Jin Lin, then tonight they definitely wouldn’t let Lin Ruixian succeed so easily.

Yet upon entering, there wasn’t a single suspicious person, which felt rather unusual.

Time marched on, and Gu Ningyue thought about the cup of tea Lin Ruixian drank earlier. She couldn’t help but stand up and knock on the door: "Are you okay in there?"

"I’m fine." Lin Ruixian paused, "Wait, not really, my leg’s gone numb."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Gu Ningyue: "Open the door."

"What’s up?" Lin Ruixian took a few steps to open the door, looking at Gu Ningyue: "Is there a situation?"

Gu Ningyue pushed a chair into the room: "You should sit for a while!"

Lin Ruixian couldn’t help but smile, "I knew you’d feel sorry for me. Well then, I’ll happily accept!"

Gu Ningyue smirked, "You talk too much!"

Under the light, Gu Ningyue glanced past Lin Ruixian and saw Jin Lin intensely focused on carving the Blood Jade.

Although his eyes were hollow, his carving knife never missed a beat—this scene was truly eerie.

Turning back to the corridor, Gu Ningyue suddenly received an unread message on her phone.

Ji Qianqian: "Sis, can you come play with Qianqian tonight? Qianqian is so bored today."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the tightly shut door, "No, sis is really busy lately, it’ll have to wait a few days."

Ji Qianqian: "Don’t forget Qianqian then, hehe!"

Gu Ningyue: "Don’t worry! I won’t."

In a sense, Ji Qianqian couldn’t return to her old self because of me.

It was due to me that, to survive, I got Lin Ruixian’s Blood Jade, forcing him to find another Blood Jade to explain to his family.

If it weren’t for me, Ji Qianqian would have been back to normal, and Lin Ruixian wouldn’t have to take risks or get hurt.

Alas, had I known it would be like this, I might as well have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

This thought surfaced, but Gu Ningyue quickly shook her head—what was she thinking?

To be reborn is a blessing in the midst of misfortune. Living tough is better than never seeing daylight.

At least, I still have a chance to see my master again.

Perhaps, everything will be okay by then.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin’s friend?"

A while later, a man in a suit appeared before Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue straightened her back suddenly, watching the newcomer with vigilance: "Who are you?"

The man in the suit looked at her and said: "Our boss’s son wants to meet you."

Gu Ningyue paused, "Why does he want to meet me?"

The man in the suit smiled lightly, "This afternoon, when you came with Mr. Lin, our boss’s son happened to pass by you. He just heard you’re still in the shop and would like to invite you over for a cup of tea."

Gu Ningyue recalled several men who brushed past her upon arriving at the shop, one of whom indeed seemed familiar.

Yet, Jin Dongsheng had already left, so why suddenly return?

According to the newspapers, Jin Lin’s son had no interest in jade.

If it weren’t for something urgent, he would never visit the shop.

Thinking about it, his visit today must have a purpose!

"Sorry, I have to wait here for my friend. Let’s have that tea another day!"

Gu Ningyue glanced at the door behind her, her eyes unusually firm.

The man in the suit seemed about to say more, but Gu Ningyue stopped looking at him, went back to playing her phone.

Seeing this, he could only leave and report back.

Five minutes later, a young man dressed in a white printed T-shirt approached Gu Ningyue, led by the man in the suit.

"Hello there, Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue looked up at the ordinary-looking man with shifty eyes in front of her: "How do you know my last name?"

She wasn’t some movie star; the original hostess, Gu Wanwan, had made her a marginal figure, so no one recognized her true face.

If that’s the case, how did Jin Dongsheng know she is Gu Ningyue?

Jin Dongsheng glanced at the shut door of the Jade Carving Room but did not answer her question, only asking: "Does Mr. Ling know Miss Gu is here?"

Gu Ningyue looked at him: "What does that have to do with you?" So nosy.

Jin Dongsheng smiled, seemingly indifferent to her attitude: "No problem, just asking casually! Somewhat surprised to meet Miss Gu here!"

Gu Ningyue was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Have we met before?"

Jin Dongsheng chuckled mysteriously, "Miss Gu truly has many forgetful noble friends. The villa in the urban village—I have not forgotten Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat—was Jin Dongsheng there that night?

"You..."

Words formed on her lips, but Gu Ningyue suddenly did not know how to continue.

The police had already taken Bai Chengfan’s people away; none should have escaped from the villa.

If Jin Dongsheng was involved, why could he safely stand here?

Did he evade capture, or did Jin Lin find someone to get him out, unable to bear seeing his child suffer inside?

Watching Gu Ningyue’s expression, Jin Dongsheng gestured to the man in the suit to leave.

Then he turned to her, "Miss Gu looks well, but even your own brother-in-law can’t be spared—Miss Gu is truly harsh!"

Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes internally, though her face remained calm, "If you came to tell me this, you can leave after speaking; I need to wait for my friend, sorry!"

Jin Dongsheng chuckled, "Has Young Master Lin touched those things too? From what I see, Young Master Lin doesn’t seem the type. Is Miss Gu leading him down the path, or is she preparing to..."

"What nonsense are you saying?" Gu Ningyue held back the urge to curse, glaring at Jin Dongsheng: "I don’t care how you managed to get out of there, but if you say one more word, I’ll call the police right now. Try me!"

Jin Dongsheng suddenly sneered, "Miss Gu thinks I’ve touched those things too? Rest assured, even if you call the police, I’m not afraid! That day I was just looking for someone, that person ended up in detention because of Miss Gu, and now they’ve disappeared—Miss Gu, it’s all your fault!"

Gu Ningyue felt a slight shock; he hadn’t touched those things, yet appeared in the villa with them?

Were his words true or false?
