Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 265: I Have Something to Discuss with Him
For Lin Ruixian’s proposal, Gu Ningyue only said she would consider it, after all, returning to Ling Tianyou’s side like this was somewhat embarrassing.
"By the way, you just mentioned you’re not in City A recently? Where are you going?"
"I want to go out for a walk and come back after a while!" Lin Ruixian said, "After all, I took Lu Qingqing’s Blood Jade, and with her personality, how could she easily let me go."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Shall we go to the Jin Store this afternoon then?"
Lin Ruixian smirked, "I’ve already sent the Blood Jade back home. If it gets lost while in my dad’s hands, it’s none of my business."
He actually never cared about the Blood Jade; what he cared about was just whether it was lost from his own hands.
Now that the Blood Jade was in the hands of his old man, why care if it’s good or bad?
Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised, "You went to the Jin Store?"
Lin Ruixian laughed, "When I left last night, I already took the Blood Jade with me."
Gu Ningyue recalled the scene from last night, no wonder Lin Ruixian looked at Jin Lin on the ground, it was meant for him to hear.
"So at that time, Jin Lin was pretending to faint?"
Lin Ruixian responded, "Yes! After the Blood Jade was successfully carved, I didn’t use my full force on him."
Fortunately, Jin Lin ’cooperated’, otherwise he might not have been able to take away the Blood Jade.
"Speaking of which, Jin Dongsheng is also something, turning his elbow outward, blocking off even the people his dad arranged." Gu Ningyue remarked leisurely, "If it were me, I’d probably have broken this ungrateful son’s legs by now."
Lin Ruixian smiled slightly, "How much do you know about Jin Dongsheng?"
Gu Ningyue said, "I only know that the father-son relationship isn’t very harmonious, and Jin Dongsheng seldom goes to Jin Lin’s shop."
Lin Ruixian said meaningfully, "I suggest you investigate Jin Dongsheng more, he’s not as simple as he seems."
Looking at Lin Ruixian’s teasing demeanor, Gu Ningyue felt like punching him, "Why can’t you just tell me directly instead of making me go through the trouble twice!"
"Haha, I just wanted to test if your data collecting skills have faltered!" Lin Ruixian said this, but still roughly shared the background of Jin Dongsheng: "When Jin Lin was young, he met his wife and after a year, they had Jin Dongsheng. But eight years after giving birth to Jin Dongsheng, Jin Lin’s wife committed suicide. From then on, Jin Dongsheng and Jin Lin’s relationship never improved. It is said that Jin Dongsheng’s mother found out about Jin Lin’s mistress, which drove an already depressed woman to a mental breakdown, leading to her suicide."
Hearing Lin Ruixian’s description, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but shake her head, "Truly pitiful."
If she were still alive and saw the current Jin Dongsheng, she wouldn’t know if she would regret leaving this world so suddenly.
Jin Dongsheng is full of hostility, especially when mentioning Jin Lin, his eyes are filled with hatred.
It shows how much psychological impact an unhappy family can have on a child.
Lin Ruixian said calmly, "Jin Dongsheng is doing some business himself, and he has some money on hand. Gotta say, this person has a bit of a brain. Even if he leaves Jin Lin, he can still make a name for himself. It’s just a pity that he is too full of hostility and tends to act impulsively. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been easily scammed out of three million."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "According to you, he’s not really a bad person. But how do you know so much?"
"I heard it from my big brother when we had dinner at home today." Lin Ruixian smiled and took a sip of his juice, "I just asked casually, didn’t expect them to say so much. Indeed, the positive characters reported in newspapers always appear glamorous, but to know something interesting, you still need to rely on the people."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "I have to go to the detention center to visit Xiao Mao this afternoon, how about you? When are you planning to leave?"
Lin Ruixian thought for a moment, "Tonight! You must be extra careful while you’re in City A."
Gu Ningyue smiled, "Don’t worry! I will."
They parted ways at the café, with Gu Ningyue heading straight home.
She hadn’t told Ling Tianyou about what happened last night, just asked someone to change the lock and kept it low key.
Although Lin Ruixian might be right—that going back to Ling Tianyou could avoid many unnecessary troubles and ensure absolute safety.
But she always relied on herself, so relying heavily on one person for this made her feel quite uncomfortable.
The midday sun was scorching; Gu Ningyue drew the curtains and soon fell asleep on the bed.
In her dream, the sunshine was just right. She sat on a rocking chair with her eyes closed, feeling the breeze on her face, as if time had frozen and all disturbances had disappeared.
This was the most beautiful dream Gu Ningyue has had since her rebirth, and she was deeply absorbed in it. When she opened her eyes again, it was already two thirty in the afternoon.
She had slept for almost three hours.
After tidying her clothes, Gu Ningyue replaced her medicine, then got up to drive to the detention center.
Before leaving, she specially checked the lock, ensuring nothing was amiss before driving away.
Holding the photo Jin Dongsheng gave her, Gu Ningyue used Director Chen’s connections to meet with Xiao Mao, who was being detained inside.
Seeing that Gu Ningyue had come to visit, Xiao Mao showed no expression, his face emotionless.
During this time, he seemed to have figured some things out and understood the ’accident’ that happened that night quite clearly.
Many people were caught, but Gu Ningyue was the only exception.
You wouldn’t need to think too hard to know who was behind it!
Gu Ningyue looked at Xiao Mao and said, "Do you know this person?"
Xiao Mao, unlike his previous sycophancy, sneered, "I don’t know him!"
Gu Ningyue had anticipated this outcome and wasn’t in a hurry, she simply said, "If you tell me, I can try to plead for you, so you can get out earlier! And as far as I know, you seem to have a seven-year-old sister waiting for you at home."
Something she said must have hit a nerve with Xiao Mao; his eyes started to waver. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Seeing this, Gu Ningyue continued, "Take a good look again, do you really not recognize him?"
As she spoke, she moved the photo closer to Xiao Mao.
Xiao Mao looked at the man in the photo, hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth, "Ma Qiang, lives at 23 Xinsheng Street, with a blind mother at home. Don’t scare her when you go there."
Gu Ningyue looked at him and asked, "Are you and Ma Qiang close?"
Otherwise, he wouldn’t say something like that.
Xiao Mao said, "It was okay, we used to be close."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Do you know where he is now? I have something to talk to him about."
