Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 263: Trespassing

When following Lin Ruixian to the Jin Store, Gu Ningyue almost didn’t think of Ling Tianyou at all.

She focused all her energy on the Blood Jade, thinking only of whether things would go smoothly or not.

Ling Tianyou was simply not part of her plan.

At this moment, looking at Ling Tianyou’s message, for some reason, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt a bit sorry for Ling Tianyou. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He must be worried about her! But after she returned, she didn’t think of saying a word to him.

Perhaps she really never thought about relying on him!

But why is it like this?

Facing Ling Tianyou’s question, Gu Ningyue, for a moment, didn’t know how to answer.

If she said yes, it would certainly be insincere.

But if she said no, Ling Tianyou would definitely be disappointed and hurt!

Forget it, best not to reply.

If Ling Tianyou asks, just say she fell asleep.

Escaping is shameful, but sometimes very useful.

After freshening up and applying medication to her wounds, Gu Ningyue changed into her pajamas and soon fell asleep.

This sleep lasted until the middle of the night when a strange noise faintly reached her ears.

She groggily rubbed her eyes, slowly sat up, and listened for a while to the sounds outside.

The rustling sound came again, making the still-dreaming Gu Ningyue wake up almost instantly.

——A thief?

This villa is located in a wealthy neighborhood, with top-tier security systems and protection.

How could anyone have sneaked in here?

Reaching out for the best dagger in Y City, Gu Ningyue quietly opened the bedroom door and slowly went down the stairs.

In the darkness, Gu Ningyue watched wide-eyed as the villa’s front door gradually opened, allowing the moonlight from outside to flood in.

A shadow appeared in Gu Ningyue’s line of sight, followed by a beam of light that harshly shone on him: "Do I need to explain to you how many years of imprisonment you get for breaking and entering?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man at the door let out a sharp scream.

Before he could react, a shadow appeared right in front of him, grabbing his throat: "Tell me, who sent you?"

Her grip was strong, almost preventing him from breathing, "I... no one sent me, let me go... I’m... I’m dying!"

Despite his words, Gu Ningyue quietly watched his face gradually reddening, suddenly tightening her grip again: "I asked you, who sent you?"

As soon as the words fell, another shadow appeared at the door, delivering a flying kick at Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue reacted incredibly quickly, loosening her grip to engage in combat.

Bathed in moonlight, during the fight, Gu Ningyue recognized the features of the newcomer and couldn’t help but exclaim: "Nan Shaoyue, why is it you!"

She had fought with Nan Shaoyue before and thought that they would have no contact again, yet unexpectedly met him in her own home.

Seeing Gu Ningyue recognize him, Nan Shaoyue said nothing and attacked even more fiercely.

Gu Ningyue was already injured, and under such a fierce assault, she almost couldn’t defend herself.

Fortunately, with the help of her dagger, she reversed the situation when the previous man also joined in.

Seeing that the two were about to draw blood, Nan Shaoyue gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled the man away, turning to flee: "Let’s go, we’ll talk later!"

"But the boss..."

Before he could finish, Nan Shaoyue was already pulling him back, escaping from the villa.

Without chasing after them, Gu Ningyue clutched the throbbing wound on her waist and stood still.

Dammit, the movements just now seemed to have torn her once-healed wound!

Nan Shaoyue, she definitely wouldn’t let him go!

Her sweet dreams disrupted, her wound torn, Gu Ningyue was utterly furious.

Especially upon seeing the door lock completely destroyed, she wished she could chase them down and beat the two of them to a pulp!

Couldn’t those people come in through a window? She hadn’t even locked it!

Don’t they know how expensive things are nowadays, how costly this door was, and how troublesome it is to replace a lock?

Taking a deep breath, Gu Ningyue called the police.

Not long after, Gu Ningyue had reapplied her medicine, and police sirens were already wailing outside.

After understanding the situation, Gu Ningyue gave the police information about Nan Shaoyue, feeling relieved as she went upstairs to sleep after they left.

She didn’t understand why Nan Shaoyue would still trouble her when the issue between them from last time was already settled?

Moreover, how did they find out she lived here?

Besides herself and Ling Tianyou, no one else should know, right?

Lying in bed, Gu Ningyue’s initial drowsiness was long gone, replaced by confusion.

Could it be Gu Wanwan again?

But if it was her, how did she find out, and how did she contact and bribe Nan Shaoyue?

She must know, Gu Wanwan is cohabiting with Ye Mingchen now.

Ye Mingchen wouldn’t let Gu Wanwan make trouble for her at such a significant time as the approaching wedding.

After all, breaking into a home and injuring someone is as blatant an act as those ’real-name poisoning’ schemes in palace dramas.

The more Gu Ningyue thought about it, the more confused she became, finally falling asleep again just before dawn.

At eight in the morning, Lin Ruixian drove back to the Lin Family’s villa.

Mr. Lin looked at his son who suddenly returned, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

But thinking of all the things Lin Ruixian did before, the smile quickly faded: "Why are you back before the end of the month? Something up?"

Lin Ruixian would return home for a day or two at the end of every month, and over time, the family got used to it.

This sudden return by Lin Ruixian seemed abnormal to Mr. Lin.

"Hey, it’s better to keep this Blood Jade with you, Dad! There are too many people in the store, and if someone steals it, that would be bad."

With that, Lin Ruixian took a piece of Blood Jade out of his pocket and handed it to Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin looked at the Blood Jade in his palm, its cool and gentle touch indicating its high quality.

"This is something your grandfather left for you, you should keep it well. Leaving it with me, isn’t that like giving it to me?"

In response, Lin Ruixian waved his hand, "Just keep it for now, Dad! I want to go out and travel for a bit to clear my head."

Hearing that Lin Ruixian wanted to leave again, Mr. Lin didn’t care about the inanimate object in his hands, only looking at Lin Ruixian: "Where to? How long? Will you come back?"

Listening to his father’s barrage of questions, Lin Ruixian couldn’t help but chuckle: "I’ll be back in three to five days. But I haven’t decided where yet."

With the Blood Jade taken, the Heimu Organization probably wouldn’t let him off the hook easily; best to hide away for a while!
