Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 272: Escaping Unscathed

For the past three days, Gu Ningyue hasn’t left Ma Qiang’s neighborhood.

And in these three days, she realized she had been played like a fool.

Ma Qiang never escaped Xinsheng Street, he hadn’t even walked through this alley.

She had been fooled by the old man before her, which caused her to overlook those small details.

Gu Ningyue watched Ma Qiang feigning calmness and silently moved to the old man’s side.

"Ma Qiang, you can get away with it! Took three million from me, made me search high and low for you!" Jin Dongsheng grabbed his collar, his voice colder than the night itself, "Where’s the money?"

"Brother. Brother Jin, I was tricked too, I didn’t mean to deceive you. Brother Jin—ahhhh—"

Screams pierced the night sky, the old man staggered toward Ma Qiang, but Gu Ningyue quickly placed a hand on his shoulder: "Old man, if you don’t want him dead sooner, just stand here and don’t move!"

The old man stopped in his tracks immediately, "My son, what’s happened to my son?"

One of Ma Qiang’s arms lay on the ground, the bloody stump looked horrifying.

Gu Ningyue hadn’t seen such a frightful scene in a long time, she couldn’t help but be a bit shocked.

Who would’ve thought Jin Dongsheng, always so carefree, would be so ruthless!

"I’ll ask you one last time, where’s the money?" Jin Dongsheng’s face was splattered with blood, combined with his sinister aura, he seemed like a demonic Asura!

Ma Qiang dared not resist any longer, his pain made his face ghostly pale: "I spent it, I bought drugs, there’s none left... Brother Jin, please let me go! I beg you for my mother’s sake, please let me go! She’s old, and I’m her only son!"

The old man called out Ma Qiang’s name, listening to his voice, his face was full of anxiety, yet he dared not step forward because of Gu Ningyue beside him.

Jin Dongsheng snorted coldly, the icy blade pressed against Ma Qiang’s terrified face: "Let you go, what about my lost money? Hmm?"

Ma Qiang groaned in pain for a while before looking at Jin Dongsheng and saying something in a low voice. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Because she was a bit far away, Gu Ningyue didn’t hear clearly what he said.

But for Jin Dongsheng, the murderous intent seemed to lessen after that sentence.

"Alright, I’ll give you a chance," Jin Dongsheng showed a hint of a smile, his blood-covered face made the smile look exceptionally sinister: "But... the condition is you survive the night!"

"The few of you keep an eye on them, the rest follow me!"

Patting Ma Qiang’s shoulder, Jin Dongsheng turned around and left with his men.

Gu Ningyue glanced at the old man who leaned on a cane and moved quickly towards Ma Qiang, shook her head, and followed behind Jin Dongsheng.

Out of the alley, the blood on Jin Dongsheng’s face had been mostly wiped off.

"Thanks for this time!"

As she put the bloody handkerchief back in her pocket, Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised: "You can’t wash it out, can you?"

Jin Dongsheng was taken aback, "What?"

Gu Ningyue pointed to the handkerchief in his pocket: "This kind of fabric, can’t wash out the blood, right?"

Jin Dongsheng didn’t expect her focus to be on this, he laughed awkwardly and said: "My girlfriend gave it to me, can’t throw it away even if it won’t wash out."

Today, before coming out, he even brought a handkerchief, but somehow when he reached for it, this was the one he took out.

Having already wiped with it, there’s nothing else he can do.

Gu Ningyue looked at Jin Dongsheng and said: "Seems like you really like her."

Not sure which family’s daughter could have such charm to hold a place in Jin Dongsheng’s heart.

Also, unsure if this girl, upon witnessing Jin Dongsheng’s actions just now, would still want to be with him.

Jin Dongsheng nodded, "She’s a university teacher, a great person."

Gu Ningyue was somewhat surprised, "Does she know about you..."

Jin Dongsheng shook his head, "She doesn’t know. Once we’re married, I’ll change."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile, it’s not like it’s a bad habit, not something that can be changed just by saying so.

Old habits die hard.

"So is this how it is between us? I helped you find Ma Qiang, I’ve fulfilled my promise. If there’s no unforeseen reason in the future, let’s not meet again!"

Jin Dongsheng nodded, "Of course."

"Then. Goodbye!"

Gu Ningyue waved her hand to leave, but Jin Dongsheng suddenly called out to her: "Wait!"

Gu Ningyue turned her head, warily looking at him: "What is it?"

Jin Dongsheng smiled, waving his phone: "A little something, sorry for threatening you that night!"

"Dingdong—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a notification sounded from the phone.

Gu Ningyue glanced at the notification, a transfer of one hundred thousand.

"Thanks."

Seems like Jin Dongsheng isn’t that unlikable after all.

Returning to where she was staying, after washing up, Gu Ningyue checked the wound on her waist, "I should go for a follow-up tomorrow!"

Along the way, she could visit Shen Hanyin.

These days she’s spent all her energy and time on stakeouts, only exchanging a few words with Shen Hanyin’s parents on the phone.

Lately, Shen Hanyin’s health has improved, and soon if there are no accidents, she can be transferred to a regular ward.

With this decided, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next day when she opened her eyes, the clock on the wall pointed to ten.

Rubbing her slightly swollen eyes, Gu Ningyue picked up her phone and checked the information on it.

"The scenery here is nice, you should come visit if you have time."

Lin Ruixian sent over a picture, featuring a blue sea and a white beach.

In the picture, Lin Ruixian wore sunglasses and smiled brightly.

Looking at his attractive face, Gu Ningyue thought, wherever he goes this time, he’s probably going to meet a lot of admirers.

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue’s mind drifted to the girl in the white dress she had encountered in Y City.

Since Lin Ruixian took Lao Wu and Lao Qi for the second trip to Y City, she hadn’t had the chance to return to that neighborhood.

That girl in the white dress, what was her identity, and why did she appear there? To this day, it’s still a mystery.

Thinking carefully, according to what Lin Ruixian said at the time, if many celebrities lived in that neighborhood and paparazzi were frequent visitors.

Could that girl be one of them?

If she was, then thank goodness, that she wasn’t photographed and handed over to Ling Tianyou.

If Ling Tianyou saw her with Lin Ruixian, although he wouldn’t do anything to her, it wouldn’t stop him from getting unnecessarily upset.

Gu Ningyue looked at her pale reflection in the mirror: "Seems like, after being reborn, my luck wasn’t too bad!"

At least, on this matter, she got away unscathed.
