Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 342: Beyond One’s Control

Regarding Ling Tianyou’s question, Gu Ningyue could only play dumb: "I’m just worried about you. Look at how serious you are."

Ling Tianyou’s smile contained a hint of understanding: "Actually, you’re just not confident in me, right? But maybe... today you might get to witness my capability."

Gu Ningyue nodded indifferently, "Then I’ll be watching closely."

In this matter, she had almost entirely abandoned Ling Tianyou’s help, relying more on herself.

When the car reached the vicinity of the agreed location, Ling Tianyou got out of the car together with Gu Ningyue.

"Why did you come too?" Gu Ningyue was somewhat surprised, "You’re not planning to escort me inside, are you!"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "I acquired a nearby unfinished building, since I’m here, I might as well go take a look."

Gu Ningyue: "..." Well, she overthought it.

Gu Ningyue: "Then I’m going over there, be careful yourself."

Ling Tianyou responded, "You too."

Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou’s appearance, turned around, and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, she turned back and walked in front of Ling Tianyou.

Without warning, Gu Ningyue spread her arms and suddenly gave Ling Tianyou a hug: "If I don’t make it out, just be with Chen Rui! She’s actually really good."

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, then displeased: "What nonsense are you talking! As long as I’m here, how could you not make it out?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled: "Alright, I’m going in now!"

Originally, Ling Tianyou was full of confidence, but after being hugged by Gu Ningyue, he started to regret whether he brought too few people.

Watching Gu Ningyue heading towards the ruins, Ling Tianyou’s heart suddenly skipped two beats.

When Gu Ningyue’s figure gradually blurred, Ling Tianyou’s right hand made a special gesture.

A moment later, a man in black appeared in front of him with indescribable speed, "Mr. Qi, the people have been arranged, and we’ve also installed cameras at the place where the Young Madam will be negotiating. Our men are positioned all around, ready to act immediately if anything goes wrong."

Ling Tianyou nodded and looked in the direction Gu Ningyue left, asking: "Qing Wu, only bringing a hundred men, could it be too few?"

Qing Wu was startled, "Mr. Qi, it’s not few at all, Nan Shaoyue’s current subordinates total less than twenty people. Even if he spends money to hire more, he still can’t escape the net we’ve laid."

Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, after a while he finally said: "Let’s go!"

Qing Wu responded, although he had heard that the master he followed valued Gu Ningyue highly as his unwed wife, he hadn’t quite believed it due to never seeing it.

Today, witnessing Ling Tianyou’s worry with his own eyes, he finally believed the rumors that circulated outside weren’t false.

Unexpectedly, one day Mr. Qi would be this way over a woman, it truly was shocking.

At this moment, on the agreed land, Gu Ningyue looked at the five or six burly men slowly walking towards her, yet her eyes showed no fear: "Where’s your boss? It’s already three o’clock!"

The lead man looked at the frail girl in front of him, clearly not understanding why such a girl would be regarded as a formidable opponent by Nan Shaoyue.

Could it be that he’s so drained by those things that even such a small girl has become a threat to Nan Shaoyue?

"If you want to meet Nan Shaoyue, first get past us!" The lead man didn’t waste words, with a gesture, the rest already rushed forward.

Gu Ningyue stood still, "That’s not fair!"

Before the words fell, several people already charged towards her.

The dagger in Gu Ningyue’s hand glimmered coldly, before they even got close, a bloodstain had already flashed in the air.

In the next moment, Gu Ningyue’s figure moved like a ghost and knocked all the burly men to the ground.

The movements were so swift it sent chills down their spines.

In front of the monitor, Qing Wu was already staring in shock: "Mr. Qi, the Young Madam’s skills... are almost on par with yours!"

Hearing his subordinate’s praise, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but curve his lips: "She still carries wounds, if it weren’t for those impairing injuries, she might have been even better."

Then, even I might not be her match, right!

Qing Wu’s eyes widened as he watched Gu Ningyue knock the man who spoke earlier to the ground too, her splendor so great that even the external clouds couldn’t obscure her radiance.

"Nan Shaoyue, can you come out now!" Gu Ningyue took out the handkerchief she had prepared and lightly wiped the blood on the dagger, "I didn’t expect you to also resort to such little tricks!"

Nan Shaoyue didn’t show up at the agreed time, probably not out of unwillingness, but rather wanting to exhaust her stamina first, giving himself better odds when he appears.

He just didn’t anticipate that the people he’d called over would only serve as warm-up exercises for her, without any effective value at all.

Shortly after she spoke, a thin man slowly appeared in Gu Ningyue’s sight.

Unlike their first meeting, where he was handsome and sunny, Nan Shaoyue hid himself within a large coat.

Perhaps because the coat was too big, Nan Shaoyue appeared very thin.

As he walked closer, Gu Ningyue finally saw the half of Nan Shaoyue’s face veiled in shadows.

But in such a short span, his eye sockets had sunken deeply, his complexion as pale as paper.

In this gloomy weather, he looked almost like a demon.

Facing those burly men just now, Gu Ningyue hadn’t felt the slightest fear, but seeing Nan Shaoyue’s true self now, a chill crept into her heart.

"Miss Gu, long time no see!"

Gu Ningyue unconsciously stepped back: "How did you become like this?"

Nan Shaoyue’s voice was hoarse, not answering Gu Ningyue’s question: "Miss Gu, impressive skills. I specifically invited them, thinking I’d have some chances, but didn’t expect them to become your defeated underlings so quickly."

Gu Ningyue frowned slightly: "Speaking of this, the grievances between us have long faded, why do you keep pursuing me?"

Nan Shaoyue looked at Gu Ningyue’s radiant face, once he too had been full of spirit.

But those days are forever bygone.

"Don’t blame me, Miss Gu, I’m also under someone’s control, unable to act freely," Nan Shaoyue said to Gu Ningyue with a hint of melancholy, "If it weren’t so, I wouldn’t risk offending Master Ling by causing trouble for you."

Feeling uncomfortable looking at his face, Gu Ningyue decided to shift her attention elsewhere: "Who makes you do this?"
