Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 286: Absolutely True

The car drove all the way to Gu Ningyue’s villa. As soon as she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, she noticed Ling Tianyou stepping out with her.

"It’s really late. Aren’t you going back?"

Just after saying this, Gu Ningyue felt that this scene seemed somewhat familiar.

She then remembered that a few days ago, she had said the same thing to Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou smiled, "I can’t accompany you inside?"

Gu Ningyue nodded awkwardly, "Of course you can."

The two of them entered the house, and Gu Ningyue casually turned on the lights.

When the environment inside was illuminated by several crystal chandeliers above, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but gasp, "How did this happen?"

The once clean and tidy living room had become a mess, even the teacups on the table were shattered on the floor.

It was unclear whether they were accidentally broken or done deliberately.

Either way, the scene before her clearly indicated someone had invaded here.

Ling Tianyou frowned and immediately made a call for people to come over.

"This doesn’t seem like thieves; it seems they were looking for something?"

Ling Tianyou glanced at the opened jewelry box on the floor, which still held the pieces he had previously prepared for Gu Ningyue.

Before Gu Ningyue could bend down, Ling Tianyou had already gathered up these valuable items.

Gu Ningyue was stunned and didn’t really hear what Ling Tianyou was saying.

While he was speaking, she was already stepping towards her room upstairs.

A trace of doubt passed through Ling Tianyou’s eyes. After securing the jewelry box, he followed her upstairs as well.

Gu Ningyue’s room was also turned upside down; several drawers where she kept her medicine had been pulled out.

Looking at the drawer where she placed that item, the white powder had vanished.

Could it be that they came for this?

But who sent them? Bai Chengfan had already been caught, hadn’t he?

Did Bai Chengfan somehow give orders from prison?

Or did he give instructions before he was caught?

Gu Ningyue stood still, her mind was filled with questions, knitting her brows deeply.

Not long after, Ling Tianyou’s subordinates arrived at the villa.

After a thorough investigation, they came to the two of them, "Nothing was stolen, they came through the bathroom window. That was the only place without bars, making it easier to enter. However, the person seems experienced since they didn’t even leave a single fingerprint. President Ling, what do you think..."

Just as Ling Tianyou was about to speak, Gu Ningyue spoke first, "I have an idea who it might be!"

The last time her place was broken into, they only caught a small fry; there had been no news of Nan Shaoyue.

Chances are high that this time it was Nan Shaoyue.

Ling Tianyou asked, "Who?"

Gu Ningyue replied, "Nan Shaoyue! Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who would do this."

Ling Tianyou frowned, "Nan Shaoyue wasn’t taught a lesson before? How dare he come looking for trouble again?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "Perhaps he feels imbalanced? So he’s always held a grudge against me? Or maybe he has another motive."

As for what that motive might be, only Nan Shaoyue would be able to tell her.

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s bewildered expression, Ling Tianyou turned and gave a few instructions, then had his subordinates leave.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou in surprise, "What are you planning to do?"

Having just heard Ling Tianyou’s words, she almost thought she misheard.

He, could he be planning to...

Ling Tianyou chuckled lightly, "Leave this to me, you just focus on healing."

Gu Ningyue still wanted to ask more, but Ling Tianyou gazed into her eyes and asked, "But I’m curious, how did you know it was Nan Shaoyue who came tonight?"

"Don’t tell me you’re just guessing."

Gu Ningyue stiffened, thought for a moment, and looked cautiously at Ling Tianyou, "You wouldn’t be mad, would you, if I told you?"

Ling Tianyou replied, "Why would I be angry?"

In this situation, Gu Ningyue was clearly the victim; why would he be angry?

Unless, did Gu Ningyue somehow provoke Nan Shaoyue, which brought about such a mess?

Gu Ningyue whispered, "Actually, a few nights ago, Nan Shaoyue had already come with people. That’s why my door had to be relocked, because he damaged it."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes flashed with sharpness, "What did you say?"

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s changed expression, Gu Ningyue instinctively reached for his arm, "Don’t be mad, the people he brought were caught, and I didn’t expect he’d dare come a second time, so I didn’t tell you."

Most importantly, if she told Ling Tianyou about this, more of her involvements with Lin Ruixian might surface.

Explaining things is always a troublesome business.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "I don’t know why he would show up here either, it’s also strange to me. But I called the police at that time, and they’ve been looking for them, so I thought I wouldn’t need your help. So... I didn’t tell you!"

Feeling Gu Ningyue’s delicate fingers, Ling Tianyou gazed into her eyes silently for a long while.

After a while, he finally said, "Are you hurt?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, somewhat proudly, "No, the two of them didn’t even beat me."

That appearance had a proud feeling of ’look how capable I am.’

"Impressive, impressive!" Ling Tianyou said with a faint smile, obviously not sincerely praising her, "Injured and still can chase off two, it seems my existence as your fiancé is neither here nor there."

Even though Gu Ningyue had never dated and wasn’t highly emotionally intelligent, she caught the hidden meaning in Ling Tianyou’s words, "You promised not to be mad; it was already very late, I was fine and didn’t want to disturb you. I care for you!"

The last sentence was so over-the-top, even Gu Ningyue felt it was a bit too much.

So gross! It didn’t even sound like something she would say.

Ling Tianyou was startled upon hearing it, looking at Gu Ningyue, "What did you say?"

When did this girl ever say such cheesy words to him?

Gu Ningyue’s face turned red, she coughed lightly, "I mean... I didn’t want you to be too tired. If there really was danger, you’d be the first person I’d think of, really!"

Whatever she said softened Ling Tianyou’s originally stern expression, "Really?"

Gu Ningyue nodded vigorously, "Absolutely!"

"Mmm..." Ling Tianyou unexpectedly leaned in and kissed Gu Ningyue hard on the lips, leaving Gu Ningyue momentarily petrified.

This kiss came entirely out of the blue.

"This is your punishment, if you dare do this again, I won’t let it slide next time!"
