Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 329: You’ll Regret It

Gu Zheng’s office.

"What? Hiring a hitman to murder?"

"Impossible! You must have caught the wrong person!"

"Wanwan has always been obedient and sensible at home. She’s been timid since childhood; how could she hire someone to murder?"

Looking at the two police officers in uniform in front of him, Gu Zheng’s expression was more serious than ever.

"Chairman Gu, we have solid evidence. Without any accidents, this incident with Gu Wanwan will confirm her crime."

Gu Zheng’s brows were tightly knit into a frown. Half an hour ago, these two officers suddenly came to his company, saying his daughter and son-in-law were both arrested.

One for hiring a hitman, and the other for attempted murder, both targeting his other daughter, Gu Ningyue.

He always thought it was merely a family matter and never imagined it would escalate to this extent.

"Chairman Gu, Gu Wanwan will be legally detained for twenty-four hours according to the laws of City A, during which time no visits are allowed." After saying this, the two officers stood up, bidding farewell to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng was still in a daze. In his long life, he had never been involved with the police in any way.

Yet his daughter committed such an act. He couldn’t believe it, no matter how he thought about it.

Sitting in the chair for who knows how long, he finally regained some clarity.

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Zheng dialed Gu Ningyue’s number.

The phone rang for a long time, the busy signal making him uneasy, but Gu Ningyue still didn’t pick up.

When he called again, the prompt had changed to "Sorry, the phone you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Gu Ningyue had blocked him as her father.

"Xiao Li, prepare the car, going home!"

In the villa, Gu Ningyue sat on the sofa, looking at the number that had been added to the blacklist on her phone, a cold smile forming at the corner of her lips.

"Only now does he remember he has me as a daughter? At this point, it’s a bit too late."

Ling Tianyou stood behind her, reaching out to pat her head, "You just blocked Gu Zheng like that. He’ll probably come knocking tonight; do you want me to help you handle it?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head, looking at Ling Tianyou, "He can’t find where I’m living now, and even if he comes, what can he do to me?"

Ling Tianyou laughed lightly, "True, but if he finds it, I’m always ready to serve."

Gu Ningyue gazed at Ling Tianyou’s ridiculously handsome face, feeling that his words carried some deeper meaning: "Alright! If things become uncontrollable, I’ll call you."

However, she believed from the bottom of her heart that Gu Zheng was just that. Maybe to the original owner, he was a father and a reliance.

But to her, he was merely a stranger who happened to share blood.

If possible, she wished she’d never have to see that face again for the rest of her life.

Of course, though unlikely, it’s not impossible.

It would just cost some money.

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue suddenly sighed.

"What’s wrong? Feeling unhappy?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No, I’m just thinking, if my inheritance arrived now, I’d probably have used money to solve these people."

Sometimes money is a good thing; it can solve eighty percent of life’s troubles.

Ling Tianyou turned and sat beside her, "What’s there to worry about? My money is your money. That card I gave you is enough for you. If not, I have another one here."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, who magically made another card appear, a flash of light passing through her eyes.

But the light quickly faded away, "No need, it’s enough."

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly, "Alright, go take a nap. Don’t you need to visit Shen Hanyin at the hospital this afternoon?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, standing up ready to go upstairs, but suddenly remembered something, looking at Ling Tianyou, "And you? Are you going to the company this afternoon?"

Ling Tianyou responded, "Yes! Why, do you want to go with me?"

"No!" Gu Ningyue instinctively refused, recalling scenes from yesterday’s banquet, losing interest in Ling Tianyou’s company: "I was just asking casually."

"I’m going to sleep now, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon."

Watching Gu Ningyue’s figure, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but smile.

The feeling of living with her again was truly wonderful. If it weren’t for his brother’s incident, he really wanted to; immediately hold a wedding with her and be with her openly.

Though it didn’t matter now, there were always people eyeing her, which made him uncomfortable.

"When does Chen Rui’s contract expire?"

"President Ling, in three months."

"Three months?"

"Yes."

"During these three months, protect the company’s accounts, don’t let anyone access them under any pretext. Anyone, got it?"

"Yes, President Ling."

After hanging up with his assistant, Ling Tianyou remained seated on the sofa, unmoving for a long time.

Chen Rui coming to his company wasn’t simply to get close to him, there’s a high chance it’s related to his company.

Growing up together, he couldn’t say he knew Chen Rui one hundred percent, but seventy percent for sure.

She’s too competitive, or she wouldn’t have left City A for overseas development. This place could no longer satisfy her!

This time around, did she truly return for him?

He reminisced, time seeming to slip back to the night he drunkenly encountered her.

Chen Rui lay against his chest, her eyes captivating and alluring.

"Tianyou, I returned to the country for you. Do you honestly think I’d be sentimental over a City A? I like you, I want to be with you."

"Chen Rui, you’ve had too much to drink, I’m leaving."

"Chen Rui? Haha. You didn’t call me that before! Why, does she captivate you that much? No, I won’t let you leave!"

"You’ve lost your composure; it’s impossible between us. When you left City A, you should’ve expected this day. I won’t wait for anyone, you know that."

Ever since he was young, he’s always been this way; anyone leaving him, he wouldn’t wait.

Even for Gu Ningyue, he wouldn’t make any concession.

It’s a principle taught by his mother, one he strongly believed in.

"I don’t care, I want to be with you. Can’t you see that Gu Ningyue clearly doesn’t like you?"

"That’s between me and her, I’m leaving. Xiao Chen, take your young lady home early! It’s getting late!"

Shaking off Chen Rui’s tightly grasped hand, he strode away.

Chen Rui’s voice, falling onto the sofa, seemed to still linger beside his ears.

Like a curse, it continuously echoed around him, causing him unease, sleepless nights.

"You’ll regret it, Ling Tianyou. I’ve never failed to get what I want!"
