Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 354: She Won’t Come Again

When Gu Wanwan opened her eyes, the room was pitch black, with only moonlight gently spilling onto her bedding.

There was an indescribable coldness, along with solitude, making her thoughts clearer than ever.

"You’re awake?"

Li Jing’s voice came from her side, and Gu Wanwan’s heart gave a sharp jolt, startled by the sudden sound.

"Why, why are you here?"

In the darkness, Li Jing sighed leisurely but didn’t answer her question. "I’ll help you sit up and eat something!"

Saying this, a warm palm reached out, and Gu Wanwan instinctively sat up, following his hand.

The next moment, Li Jing walked to the door and turned on the light in the room.

The strong light instantly overwhelmed Gu Wanwan’s eyes, she subconsciously tried to shield them with her hand, but Li Jing had already returned to her side.

"I just bought it back; luckily, you woke up early, otherwise it would have gotten cold soon."

Li Jing laid out the food, and as Gu Wanwan looked at his delicate profile, a terrifying thought suddenly extended in her mind: "Li Jing, you..."

The words hadn’t had a chance to come out when Li Jing raised his chin, signaling her not to speak nonsense.

Gu Wanwan could only suppress her thoughts, but then felt strange, how did Li Jing know what she was about to say?

Why, did he stop her from speaking?

Perhaps because she’d been lying down all afternoon, after drinking a sip of juice, the need to urinate became apparent.

Usually, a little nurse would come to help her over, but now only Li Jing was there, and Gu Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed to call him for help, after all, he was an outsider.

She reached out to press the bedside button, but before she could, Li Jing had already grasped her wrist: "What do you need? I’ll get it for you?"

Gu Wanwan looked at him with some embarrassment: "I want to go to the bathroom."

Li Jing chuckled and put down his chopsticks: "What’s the matter, I’ll help you over. Why, don’t trust me? I have enough strength to support a young lady like you."

Seeing his frankness, Gu Wanwan could only nod.

After putting on her shoes, Li Jing supported her waist, helping her to stand up.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Gu Wanwan’s face turned slightly red.

Noticing Gu Wanwan’s change, a nearly frenzied look flashed in Li Jing’s eyes, disappearing in an instant.

When Gu Wanwan turned her head, she only saw his calm and straightforward expression, smiling as he looked at her.

In a moment, Gu Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you smiling?"

Li Jing’s smile deepened at the corners of his lips: "Nothing, your blushing looks really beautiful."

Gu Wanwan was stunned, her steps halted: "You’re lying."

In her current state, how could she possibly look good?

Seeing her disbelief, Li Jing continued: "It really is beautiful. Some people, even when sick, are beauties. Otherwise, who was the term ’sick beauty’ born for?"

Gu Wanwan turned her head to look at him, wondering if she had chosen Ye Mingchen instead of an ordinary person.

Perhaps everything would have been different?

She was the second miss of the Gu Family, with parents backing her up; even without work, she could be financially secure for life and wouldn’t be looked down upon by her husband’s family.

But why had she ended up in her current situation?

In Gu Wanwan’s mind, she thought long and hard about that rainy night a long time ago, when Li Yulan hugged her tightly in a rented room.

She cried, holding onto her mother’s sleeve out of fear, and Li Yulan hugged her just as tightly.

Indeed, Gu Heng hadn’t been born yet, and Li Yulan’s love for her was undivided.

She was holding her, crying as she fiercely said, "Wanwan, remember, anything that belongs to that woman’s daughter, you must seize! Understand? Mom will risk everything to bring you back to the Gu Family, that woman... that woman, I will make sure she dies miserably!"

That’s when it started, her life seemingly turned into her mother’s tool for revenge.

Gu Wanwan shook her head, pulling herself out of that memory: "If possible, I really hope I can meet you sooner."

Li Jing gave a faint smile, knowing but pretending not to know: "Why?"

It seems many women come to this hospital and like his current appearance!

Gu Wanwan didn’t notice the surge of emotions in Li Jing’s eyes, only looking at the light above as she spoke: "Actually... I should... not be that bad..."

Li Jing supported her delicate arm and suddenly reached out to lift the hair by her ear, leaning in to whisper: "It’s okay, it’s not too late now... you..."

As the words fell, Gu Wanwan’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Li Jing helped her to the side of the bathroom, thoughtfully pushed the door open: "I’ll be outside the door, if you need help, call me."

Gu Wanwan nodded, holding onto the wall as she walked into the bathroom.

As time passed, Li Jing waited for a while, then reached out to knock on the door: "Miss Gu, are you done?"

No one answered from inside, causing Li Jing to frown slightly.

After a few more minutes, the surveillance showed Li Jing breaking open the bathroom door and carrying out Gu Wanwan, whose wrist was bleeding profusely.

That night, having undergone an abortion not long ago, Gu Wanwan entered the emergency room.

The police arrived when she had just escaped danger.

"For some unknown reason, starting from the afternoon, Miss Gu’s emotions became extraordinarily agitated." Li Jing said to the two policemen in front of him: "Even when she lost her child, Miss Gu didn’t react like this before. Now although she’s saved, her mental state..."

The two policemen exchanged a glance: "In her current condition, how long will it take for her to be discharged?"

Li Jing shook his head, sighed, and gestured a number: "At least this long, and given Miss Gu’s current mental state, I’m afraid even if you take her away, she won’t give up the idea of suicide."

Hearing this, the two policemen, after ensuring Gu Wanwan was okay, could only go back to the station to report the situation.

"Director Chen, the surveillance showed Gu Ningyue appeared at the hospital this afternoon, estimating that Miss Gu heard something from Gu Ningyue which led to suicidal tendencies. How do you think we should handle this?"

Director Chen sat at his desk, seemingly having foreseen this occurrence: "Let it take its course, assign people to watch over Gu Wanwan in turns, to prevent any more trouble."

"And if Gu Ningyue reappears..."

Director Chen smiled: "Gu Ningyue won’t appear again, if she does, you can treat her equally."

She’s already gotten the results she wanted, how could she risk challenging Gu Wanwan’s bottom line again?

"Yes, Director Chen!"
