Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 338: The Decision Is Yours

For some unknown reason, after arriving at the detention center, Gu Ningyue’s heart suddenly started racing, as if something bad was about to happen, leaving her with a faint sense of unease.

Would this guy Tianze turn her in after seeing her? After all, she had presented the goods in her hand right in front of Tianze that day, which made him give up the idea of returning to the villa.

So much time has passed, and without a doubt, Tianze had already guessed who had reported them that day.

When it comes to personally sending her brother-in-law to prison, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward about it.

If possible, when she meets Tianze later, she hopes she won’t have to say a word.

And the best scenario would be if Tianze treated her as if she were air.

After all, facing an ’enemy,’ even if Tianze speaks, it wouldn’t be anything nice to say.

"Mr. Ling, the person has been brought, but the conversation time is limited, so please keep it brief."

Ling Tianyou nodded, and then saw a man in prison clothes sitting across from him through the glass window.

Half a month was about to pass, and Tianze was already skinny and haggard beyond recognition. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Just looking at him, Gu Ningyue felt a bit of pity.

"Bro..."

Ling Tianyou nodded, a trace of undetectable heartache flashing in his eyes: "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Throughout the years, the little resentment Tianze had towards Ling Tianyou had long since dissipated with the passage of certain things.

At this moment, looking at Ling Tianyou, it seemed to go back to childhood, where the younger brother heavily relied on the older brother: "Bro. I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please, let me come home, okay? I really promise, I won’t do it again!"

Ling Tianyou slowly shook his head, "Tianze, that place isn’t as bad as you think, it’s much better than here. Liu Liu, our parents, and I will visit you. It’s only half a year, Tianze, hang in there! Okay?"

Even the always decisive Ling Tianyou carried a hint of plea at this moment. After a brief surprise, Gu Ningyue sighed softly.

Even for someone as influential as Ling Tianyou, family is ultimately his Achilles’ heel, unable to remain truly cold and ruthless.

And what about herself? Where is her Achilles’ heel?

Her master had disappeared, her parents had long since passed away, and before dying, they didn’t leave her a brother or sister either.

Even after reincarnating, there was nothing in her world that was indispensable.

Even with Ling Tianyou, she seemed to have already prepared herself for his departure at any moment on a subconscious level.

Thinking this way, is there anything really worth persisting for?

Gu Ningyue felt a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making it difficult to breathe.

At this moment, Ling Tianyou patted Gu Ningyue’s hand and handed the phone to her: "Ning Yue, Tianze wants to say a couple of words to you!"

Gu Ningyue snapped back to reality and looked at Tianze across the glass window, feeling a bit at a loss for a moment.

His gaze was complicated, which made those who looked at him feel more uncomfortable.

She reached out to pick up the phone and put it to her ear, and Ling Tianyou’s hoarse voice slowly came over: "Sister-in-law, long time no see!"

Sister-in-law... This term took Gu Ningyue by surprise.

"Tianze..."

Tianze’s lips curved into a weary smile: "Sister-in-law, you’re going to get me out, right? I don’t want to go to drug rehab; I want to come home."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue seemed to already know the cost of her refusal.

If Ling Tianyou also knew her involvement with those things, without thinking, it would be a storm of anger.

Even she might not be able to withstand it.

Faced with Tianze’s subtle threat, Gu Ningyue paused and said to Tianze, "I can only try, but can you really guarantee that you will never touch those things again..."

Tianze nodded: "I’ve been here so many days and haven’t touched those things, I kicked the habit long ago. Sister-in-law, I want to go home, really..."

His voice carried a sincerity that made it hard not to feel sorry for him, especially when looking at his eyes filled with hope.

But this hope, Gu Ningyue felt something was amiss no matter how she looked at it.

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Ningyue looked at Tianze and said, "I’ll try to persuade your brother! But if next time..."

Before she could finish, when Tianze saw Gu Ningyue agree, he immediately vowed: "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, even if it’s not for myself, for Liu Liu and Xiao Xuan, I won’t touch it again. You don’t know how heartbroken I was seeing Liu Liu cry like that last time, I really won’t do it again!"

Gu Ningyue nodded and glanced at Ling Tianyou and said, "Alright! I’ll try my best!"

"Sister-in-law, my brother loves you the most, if you talk to him properly, he’ll definitely agree!" Tianze seemed instantly exhilarated, no longer showing the fatigue and pallor from earlier when he sat in front of them: "If it really doesn’t work, try threatening him a bit, my brother will definitely agree."

"..." Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment and then said to Tianze, "You might consider me too much!"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Tianze could reply, the officer came over and said, "Mr. Ling, visiting time is up."

"Sister-in-law, you have to help me!"

In the end, Tianze’s voice carried a tinge of desperation.

Gu Ningyue shook her head and sighed, then put down the phone and said to Ling Tianyou, "Let’s go!"

Ling Tianyou stood up but waited until Tianze’s figure disappeared before nodding and leading Gu Ningyue out: "What did Tianze say to you?"

Gu Ningyue said, "He hopes I can persuade you not to send him to rehab, he wants to come home."

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Whenever he sees someone now, he says this, but the way he looked at you was much more fervent than how he looked at Liu Liu."

Gu Ningyue’s heart trembled, something flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it.

"Yes! I originally wanted to refuse him, but seeing his eyes, I softened for a moment." Looking at Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue said, "Maybe he genuinely wants to come home!"

Ling Tianyou responded: "Even if I smooth things over inside, it only makes his life a bit easier. How can it compare to living luxuriously at home?"

"But what do you think? Do you really want to help Tianze convince me?"

"Yes! Just let Tianze come home!" Gu Ningyue said.

Ling Tianyou firmly shook his head: "Impossible!"

On this point, he couldn’t be swayed.

Gu Ningyue shrugged her shoulders: "The decision is yours, if you’re unwilling, I can’t do anything about it."

In this way, she didn’t break her promise, right!

After all, she did try to persuade him, oh!
