Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 355: Stepping Down for Retirement

The pleasant sound of the ringtone rang out, and Gu Ningyue looked at the name displayed on the screen, reached out to pick up the call: "Hello? Han Yin, you miss me after just a few hours?"

"Stop joking, Gu Wanwan attempted suicide." Although she said this, Shen Hanyin’s voice carried a hint of excitement: "Although her life was saved, I heard her condition is not good."

Gu Ningyue curled her lips: "Is that all she’s capable of? Her stress tolerance is really low."

Shen Hanyin expressed curiosity about this: "What did you say to her? Gu Wanwan is usually so shameless, yet she even thought of solving problems by dying?"

Thinking about how she and Gu Heng, that dog, almost ruined her chance to take the stage again, and led her into the current predicament, Shen Hanyin couldn’t help but feel a streak of satisfaction.

Gu Ningyue chuckled: "Now she is alienated from everyone, Li Yulan treats her as a discarded piece. Perhaps she couldn’t handle some of my minor provocations, which is why she decided to end her life in such a way!"

"By the way, apart from the reporters, do you know who from the Gu Family has visited lately?"

Shen Hanyin thought for a moment and said: "I haven’t heard anything specific, but once my mom saw your dad visiting Gu Wanwan, and she said he came alone."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "It seems Li Yulan truly doesn’t intend to keep this daughter."

From this point of view, Gu Wanwan is indeed quite pitiful!

Shen Hanyin hesitated for two seconds and said: "My dad mentioned that recently, there’s been some problem with the Gu family’s company, and your dad has been really busy, leaving most of the hospital matters to the nurses or hospital staff."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "The Gu family company is in trouble?"

Shen Hanyin affirmed: "My dad didn’t say much, but it seems like that’s the case."

Gu Ningyue suddenly remembered what Ling Tianyou had told her, that Li Yulan has an old flame who returned to A City, and now the Gu family’s economy is experiencing turmoil at this very time, could there be some connection?

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue laid on the bed, unable to sleep.

All this time she hadn’t paid much attention to the Gu family’s business, only now realizing that for the Gu family to be where it is today, the original owner’s mother had indeed contributed significantly.

If the Gu family collapses at this moment, and if Li Yulan is indeed related to this, wouldn’t the entire Gu family fall into Li Yulan’s hands?

But... soon she would have to go to the U.S., her master is waiting for her, if she doesn’t go, she might miss the chance to meet her master.

She still has many questions she wants to ask her master, and needs her master to dispel her doubts.

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue decided to ask Ling Tianyou about the current situation of the Gu family after daybreak tomorrow. While she’s at it, she might also ask Lin Ruixian if he can delay her master’s stay in the U.S. for a few more days.

Looking at the candid photo Lin Ruixian sent of her master’s smiling face on her phone, Gu Ningyue hugged the phone tightly: "Master, wait for me, I’ll come to find you soon..."

At daybreak the next day, Gu Ningyue surprisingly went downstairs early.

Aunt Zhang was quite surprised: "Young Madam, good morning!"

"Morning."

Aunt Zhang: "Breakfast isn’t ready yet, please wait just five minutes, Young Madam."

Gu Ningyue nodded: "It’s alright, take your time."

As they were talking, Ling Tianyou also came down from upstairs: "Good morning."

Gu Ningyue turned to look, and saw Ling Tianyou, already with his tie done, walking down in the morning light wearing a perfectly ironed shirt: "Good morning."

This face, no matter how many times you see it, always makes one’s heart flutter!

"Why are you up so early today? Going out?" Ling Tianyou asked as he approached her.

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No! It’s been a while since I had breakfast with you, nor did I go for a morning exercise, so I just got up early."

Ling Tianyou reached out to casually adjust his tie and asked: "Your health hasn’t fully recovered, and you’re thinking of going out for morning exercise?"

Gu Ningyue smiled lightly: "I can still go for a slow jog."

The two sat at the dining table, and shortly Aunt Zhang had already brought breakfast up: "President Ling, Young Madam, please have your meal!"

Gu Ningyue reached out to pick up the hot milk beside her and took a sip: "Will you be back late again today?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ling Tianyou thought about today’s work schedule and nodded slightly: "Probably a bit later than yesterday. If you need anything, you can call me."

Gu Ningyue put down the milk, licking a bit of residue from the corner of her mouth: "I went to the hospital yesterday, Han Yin said the Gu family’s company has some problems, is this true?"

She went straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Ling Tianyou glanced at her again: "Yes. Gu Zheng tried some emergency measures but still lost two important partners. However... the Gu family has a strong foundation, such a minor problem shouldn’t affect much."

Gu Ningyue nodded, since Ling Tianyou said so, it seems it might not be as serious as Shen Hanyin mentioned.

Just as she thought this, she heard Ling Tianyou continue: "But the emergence of this crisis in the Gu family doesn’t seem like a sudden accident; someone might... have tampered with it."

Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, "Does someone want the Gu family to collapse?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "That’s unclear, why? Why did you suddenly start caring about these things?"

Gu Ningyue smiled lightly and said: "The Gu family having what it has today is thanks to my mom’s support. Some of the Gu family’s money belongs to my mom. The Gu family, I can’t let it fall."

Even if it really has to fall, it must fall into her own hands! It absolutely can’t fall into an outsider’s hands!

Ling Tianyou understood: "So what are you planning to do? Now that the crisis has arrived, wanting to get involved is not going to be easy."

Gu Ningyue knew well, these years Gu Zheng, having smooth sailing, abruptly facing this crisis surely heightened his vigilance a thousandfold.

"It’s fine, I have my ways." Gu Ningyue smiled faintly: "At worst, before the Gu family collapses, I’ll just collect my mom’s share of the money."

Of course, it has to be calculated at today’s value, and a bit of interest should be added too!

Ling Tianyou gazed at Gu Ningyue’s bright eyes: "I have an idea, maybe simpler than yours."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and asked: "What?"

Did she have an auditory hallucination, Ling Tianyou actually voluntarily proposed to help her deal with the Gu family?

Ling Tianyou: "Your dad is getting older and the family has no heir to the business. I can buy it out and manage it for you, how about that?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, buying out the Gu family, fear it won’t be possible without tens of millions.

What’s more important is, how could Gu Zheng be willing to retire and live in leisure, giving up his life’s work?
