Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 260: I’ll Listen to You

"You’re looking for a junkie?" Gu Ningyue looked at Jin Dongsheng and said, "He owes you a lot of money?"

Jin Dongsheng crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "Yes! Now he’s vanished, but Miss Gu is doing well outside. So I want to ask Miss Gu to help me find out about his whereabouts! After all, Miss Gu can even get into the villas of the urban villages, right?"

Gu Ningyue almost wanted to laugh at his words, "Mr. Jin, you’re too confident in yourself, aren’t you? Why should I do you this favor?"

Jin Dongsheng glanced at the Jade Carving Room behind Gu Ningyue and suddenly said slowly, "It doesn’t matter if Miss Gu doesn’t help me, but once the Blood Jade is carved successfully, the two of you won’t be able to leave this Jin Store."

Gu Ningyue scrutinized Jin Dongsheng’s demeanor; he appeared extremely sincere, not revealing any flaws.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just a kind reminder to Miss Gu." Jin Dongsheng smiled ambiguously, "The Blood Jade in Young Master Lin’s hand is also very important to Miss Gu, isn’t it?"

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be guarding here specifically.

"Are you threatening me?" Gu Ningyue asked Jin Dongsheng, "The price Lin Ruixian offered your father is quite substantial. If anything happens to the Blood Jade, your father won’t receive a dime."

This was agreed upon earlier; as long as they don’t leave the store, if anything happens to the jade, Jin Lin won’t get a penny of the crafting fee.

This was a point Gu Ningyue negotiated separately with Jin Lin after gathering all the information.

Surprisingly, Jin Lin agreed readily.

Jin Dongsheng dropped his hand, one hand tucked into his pants pocket, "I know what you’re thinking. Since I’m doing this, I don’t care what happens with my dad. That person, I have to find him!"

Gu Ningyue squinted slightly, "Wait here, I need to discuss with Lin Ruixian, after all, this Blood Jade isn’t for me."

Jin Dongsheng made a gesture of ’please,’ then leaned against the snow-white wall, "I’ll wait for you."

Gu Ningyue turned and entered the Jade Carving Room, glancing at Jin Dongsheng leaning there before entering.

He looked nothing like Jin Lin, who was upright in appearance and elegant in demeanor.

How could his son look so unruly?

Closing the door, Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, who had suddenly come in, and asked, "What’s wrong? Tired?"

The Jade Carving Room had excellent soundproofing; he hadn’t heard a thing from outside.

Gu Ningyue recounted what Jin Dongsheng had just come to discuss with her, then glanced at the Blood Jade, already 80% carved, and asked, "Almost finished?"

Lin Ruixian nodded, "I estimate it will be about half an hour before we can take the Blood Jade."

Gu Ningyue felt slightly relieved, "It’s best to drag this half hour out, then think of a plan."

If the jade isn’t finished carving and Jin Dongsheng rushes in with people, they might destroy both the people and the Blood Jade together.

Lin Ruixian agreed, "But you were too careless, going into the villa without wearing a mask? Now that you’ve been recognized, what do we do?"

Gu Ningyue shrugged, "It’s too late now that I’ve been recognized. But the way he threatened me just now was really annoying."

Lin Ruixian’s slight smile was much more pleasing than Jin Dongsheng’s earlier, "Even if he hasn’t arranged people outside, I suspect Jin Lin has already set up people outside the store, intending to keep the Blood Jade for himself."

Gu Ningyue asked Lin Ruixian, "He wants the Blood Jade?"

Lin Ruixian nodded, "Otherwise, what do you think he put in that cup? It’s a drug that can render someone unconscious within half an hour with one sip."

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "Then why are you fine?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

She had been curious since he first walked into the Jade Carving Room; she saw him take a sip, yet why hadn’t he shown any adverse reaction by now?

Lin Ruixian smiled mysteriously, "It’s a secret, I have my ways."

If he hadn’t taken that sip just now, Jin Lin wouldn’t have relaxed his guard against him, and he wouldn’t have succeeded so easily.

Gu Ningyue pouted, knowing Lin Ruixian always had his tricks; since he didn’t want to say, she couldn’t force him. She only asked, "So what do we do now? After the Blood Jade is finished, how do we leave?"

This Jade Carving Room is almost sealed, with only one window and no other exits.

It’s on the second floor; jumping down wouldn’t be a problem, but there are railings outside.

To pry them open would require tools, and relying solely on the dagger she had was out of the question.

"Once we have the Blood Jade, I’ll extract Jin Lin’s plan." Lin Ruixian wasn’t concerned, only looking at Gu Ningyue and reassuring her, "Don’t worry, with me here, can they really keep you here?"

This action today was far easier than he had imagined.

The Heimu Organization’s current people couldn’t compare to their former subordinates.

With such meager means, they still want to trap him? To take things from him? It was a joke.

Gu Ningyue saw Lin Ruixian’s confident demeanor and reminded him, "Don’t be too sure of yourself. Did you forget how we got caught in H City last time?"

Lin Ruixian paused, a trace of displeasure crossing his eyes, "That was an accident. I said that situation wouldn’t happen again."

A long time ago, not long after Lin Ruixian and Gu Ningyue partnered, they went to H City to execute a mission.

That time, Gu Ningyue had prepared everything in advance, but because Lin Ruixian thought the target wasn’t worth mentioning, he didn’t follow Gu Ningyue’s original plan.

Initially, the plan was going smoothly, with Lin Ruixian extracting the opponent’s plan with his skills and preparing to move to the next step when another group suddenly appeared.

It turned out the opponent had long investigated Lin Ruixian, knew him well, and even made multiple plans.

If it hadn’t been for Gu Ningyue’s timely intervention, Lin Ruixian might have lost his arm there.

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian and said, "So how can you guarantee such an accident won’t happen again?"

Lin Ruixian was silent for a moment, looked at Gu Ningyue’s face, which was completely different from Gu Weiwei’s, and said, "So what do you want to do? Apart from this, is there any other way?"

Gu Ningyue thought for a few minutes and then said, "Once the Blood Jade is finished, first find a way to hide it. Escaping might not be easy for us, but it’s very easy for them to destroy the Blood Jade."

It’s just an object, a dead thing, unlike the two of them, who are alive and kicking.

Once broken, it’s broken, with no possibility of restoration.

Lin Ruixian nodded, "Alright, I’ll follow your lead! The Blood Jade is almost done, you go out and find a way to stall Jin Dongsheng for a bit longer!"
