Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 331: Followers

Time ticked away, and as those two men came closer and closer, Gu Ningyue darted into an alley.

"Where is she? Where on earth is that girl going?"

"No matter, let’s follow and see. The boss has ordered that we must capture her today."

"Okay, let’s move."

The two men entered the alley, just as the sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the entire alleyway.

But amidst the golden light, there was not even a trace of Gu Ningyue’s shadow.

"Damn it, did she escape?"

"How is that possible? This alley is a dead end. There’s no other way out."

"Then what’s going on, she... ah!!!!"

Before the words were finished, Gu Ningyue suddenly flipped over from the left wall, moving so quickly and deftly that she gave them no time to react.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Within minutes, several bricks snapped in two, and the two men collapsed to the ground, covered in wounds.

"You! Where did you come from?"

One of them widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing in front of him—Gu Ningyue.

The moves this woman had just displayed couldn’t be described as merely fast, precise, and ruthless; she carried with her a murderous aura, resembling a trained assassin.

"With skills like yours, you dare to tail someone?"

Gu Ningyue stretched, having almost pulled her injury while jumping down from the wall.

Luckily, she reacted well, and these two men were rather clumsy; otherwise, she might have ended up back in the hospital.

"Speak! Who sent you? Gu Wanwan, or Ye Mingchen? Or perhaps, Nan Shaoyue?"

Those were the only people she could think of; besides them, Gu Ningyue couldn’t recall having enmity with anyone else.

The two men exchanged a glance, just about to get up, only to be kicked back to the ground by Gu Ningyue with a swift side kick.

Two screams echoed once more, Gu Ningyue’s gaze cold as a winter moon: "Did I tell you to get up? Answer my earlier question!"

Perhaps it was because Gu Ningyue’s gaze was horrifying; these two men shrank their necks a bit, their eyes avoiding hers,

Yet even so, the two refused to divulge who was behind them.

"Not talking, huh?" Gu Ningyue crossed her arms, watching the two disheveled men: "You better open your eyes wide. You both have records, right? If you reveal who’s behind you now, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, we’ll meet at the police station!"

After a moment of hesitation, one of them gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Ningyue, saying, "No one sent us! Call the police if you want! We don’t know any mastermind!"

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect them to protect the one behind them so loyally, she paused for two seconds on the spot, looked at the two, and said: "The one behind you, is it Nan Shaoyue?"

Considering Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen, that couple of scoundrels couldn’t possibly have such loyal followers?

Thinking carefully, it seemed more likely to be Nan Shaoyue.

Sure enough, when Nan Shaoyue’s name was mentioned, a noticeable change appeared in the expressions of the two men.

A glint flashed in Gu Ningyue’s eyes, and she leaned down to retrieve a phone from one of them.

After forcing him to unlock it with his fingerprint, Gu Ningyue quickly found Nan Shaoyue’s number inside: "The one you marked as ’Boss,’ is this Nan Shaoyue’s phone number?"

The man stil tried to argue, "No, it’s not!"

Gu Ningyue chuckled softly, "I’ll know if it is when I make the call!"

The man stood up, wanting to snatch the phone, but his companion held him back: "Forget it, you can’t win against her."

"Doo... doo..."

After the dialing tone, the phone briefly vibrated, and Gu Ningyue heard Nan Shaoyue’s voice: "Did you catch her?"

Gu Ningyue sneered, "Nan Shaoyue, long time no see!"

Upon hearing her voice, the other end clearly hesitated for a moment: "Gu Ningyue?"

"Yes, it’s me!" Gu Ningyue’s voice was icy: "Isn’t it time to settle the scores between us?"

Nan Shaoyue remained silent for a few seconds, "I knew those two weren’t your match, but didn’t expect them to be so inept!"

Even letting Gu Ningyue get ahold of the phone, truly disappointing him.

"Ha, last time you broke into my home," Gu Ningyue questioned into the phone: "Now, you deliberately send people to hassle me. Why? What unresolved grievances are there between us?"

Though having had some entanglements with Nan Shaoyue before, those were things of the past.

She really couldn’t fathom why Nan Shaoyue repeatedly targeted her?

After Gu Ningyue had asked, Nan Shaoyue did not reply for a long time.

"Miss Gu, I have no intention of making enemies with you, just that some matters are truly unavoidable." After a long while, Nan Shaoyue’s somewhat weary voice finally came from the other end, as if he had gone through some unmentionable ordeal: "What happened today, saying more would be futile. If Miss Gu would grace us with your presence, shall we meet someplace tomorrow afternoon at three?"

Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned, was he setting up a banquet of treachery for her?

Seeming to guess Gu Ningyue’s thoughts, Nan Shaoyue added, "If Miss Gu doesn’t want to come, you also don’t have to. We can meet in another way."

In another way, perhaps by invading her home?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Ningyue agreed: "Fine, but I must choose the location!"

Nan Shaoyue said, "Alright, but not in the city center!"

Gu Ningyue had roughly guessed something by now, since Nan Shaoyue agreed to let her choose the location, then whether or not it was in the city center was irrelevant.

"Okay!" Gu Ningyue memorized Nan Shaoyue’s phone number: "I will send you the address later."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue tossed the phone back into the arms of the man on the ground.

The two men exchanged a look, about to get up, when Gu Ningyue’s gaze landed on them: "Did I say you could leave?"

"Our boss has already appeared, Miss Gu, please let us go!" The man who hadn’t spoken much suddenly pleaded, seemingly very afraid that Gu Ningyue might call the police right now.

Gu Ningyue sneered, these two guys had been trailing her for so long, if she hadn’t been vigilant, she might have already been dragged away to Nan Shaoyue for them to claim credit.

To let them go like this would be too merciful.

Fifteen minutes later, officers from the nearby police station hurried over to take the two men back.

Before leaving, they even asked if Gu Ningyue was hurt.

Gu Ningyue calmly flipped her hair, "No."

With trash like them, hurting her would be like reaching for the heavens.

The two officers exchanged a look, although somewhat surprised, they said nothing more.

They just took Gu Ningyue back to make a report, and then let her go.
