Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 356: Whispered Conversations

Gu Ningyue held the sandwich in her hand, not sure what to say to Ling Tianyou for a moment.

After Ling Tianyou finished his sentence, he didn’t say anything more, just quietly ate.

After a while, Gu Ningyue finally looked at Ling Tianyou and asked, "Are you serious?"

Ling Tianyou paused, looked up at Gu Ningyue, and showed an indescribable smile: "You actually believed it?"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Ling Tianyou grinned, and Gu Ningyue finally understood the teasing hidden in that smile: "Who would sell their hard work just like that unless in dire straits? Don’t think about it."

"But, I’m very happy you can trust me."

As he spoke, Ling Tianyou took a couple of sips from his glass of milk and continued eating breakfast as if nothing had been said.

Gu Ningyue was exasperated; Ling Tianyou had tricked her, and she even seriously considered what he just said.

After angrily finishing breakfast, seeing Ling Tianyou was about to head to the company, Gu Ningyue suddenly remembered something and asked Ling Tianyou, "Where is Xiang Bei’s company located?"

Ling Tianyou looked her up and down, then curved his lips: "107 Financial Street Tower’s top floor. Friendly tip, Xiang Bei’s company requires a special identity to meet Xiang Bei himself. Remember to wear the gift my mom gave you, or you might get turned away!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Okay, I’ll remember."

Ling Tianyou knew Gu Ningyue was mad at him for teasing her earlier; now that she was willing to talk to him, he knew the information he provided had evened things out: "Then I’m leaving?"

Gu Ningyue responded: "Mm, go on! Be careful." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Seeing Gu Ningyue didn’t intend to see him off, Ling Tianyou, unlike before, didn’t insist on her coming out to send him off, just shook his head with a smile and left.

After Ling Tianyou left for a short while, Gu Ningyue went upstairs, took her phone, and sent Lin Ruixian a message, asking him to find a way to keep her master for a few more days.

"What? Couldn’t steal Ling Tianyou’s ID and passport?"

Gu Ningyue: "...Indeed not, so it’s trouble for you!"

Not only did she fail to get Ling Tianyou’s ID and passport, she also had other troubles now.

"Ding—"

Lin Ruixian: "I feel like ever since your rebirth, your efficiency is not as good as before."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Gu Ningyue: "Thank you for your feedback, we will strive to improve."

"Ding—"

Lin Ruixian: "Alright, alright, I won’t tease you. I’ll do my best to keep your master here a bit longer, but I can’t guarantee how long. You better hurry up."

Gu Ningyue: "Mm, got it."

Now, not only does she have to figure out the Gu Family’s situation, but she also needs to find a way to get Ling Tianyou’s passport and ID.

While Aunt Zhang and the maids were tidying up on the first floor, Gu Ningyue quietly snuck into Ling Tianyou’s bedroom.

Luckily, Ling Tianyou had no guard up against her, and the door wasn’t locked, so she pushed and walked right in.

Quietly closing the door, Gu Ningyue glanced around the room.

Ling Tianyou’s room was indeed spotless, and with one glance, everything was clear.

Acting quickly, Gu Ningyue went through all the drawers in the room, finding them completely empty, not even a piece of paper inside.

"This is way too clean," Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but mutter softly.

Besides the drawers, there were no other cupboards for storage in the room.

Opening the wardrobe for a peek, apart from a few coats, pants, and shirts, there were only a few ties still in their packaging.

Feeling helpless, upon hearing footsteps coming from below, Gu Ningyue had to climb back to her own room from the balcony.

"Hey? Who closed President Ling’s room door?" The maid pushed hard, the door opening in response.

The thin curtains fluttered in the breeze, and everything inside was in its place.

In the adjoining room, Gu Ningyue quietly sat by the bed, and only after the maid went to another room did she get up to the bathroom to change her bandage.

Along the way, she also picked out an outfit for herself.

Once dressed and made up, Gu Ningyue slowly opened the door and walked down the stairs.

By now, it was already ten in the morning.

From here to Financial Street, if there’s no traffic, it would take about forty minutes.

Waiting there for a while would perfectly coincide with lunchtime.

"Aunt Zhang, I have to go out for something, won’t be back for lunch."

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue and replied, "Yes, Young Madam."

Strange, why is Young Madam dressed so...down-to-earth today?

Gu Ningyue drove to the address Ling Tianyou had mentioned, a very bustling area with high-paid office workers coming and going.

Finding out about Xiang Bei and Li Yulan’s situation wasn’t hard because even in high-end work environments, gossip and rumors were not lacking.

Today, Gu Ningyue had specially swapped out her French designer custom attire and wore a white shirt with a black fishtail skirt, looking mature yet still sexy.

Blending in with this crowd was no problem.

"Hello, are you alone?"

After not waiting long, two women carrying trays approached and politely asked Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue glanced at them lightly, then nodded: "Yes."

The two women carrying trays exchanged a look and sat across from Gu Ningyue: "Are you new here? Seems like we’ve never seen you before."

Gu Ningyue responded flatly, but didn’t say anything.

The woman who spoke asked, "Which department are you in?"

Gu Ningyue randomly mentioned a department, and then saw a subtle flicker of emotion in the eyes of the two women across from her: "What’s your name? Our office is just above yours, and we could share tables for lunch in the future."

Gu Ningyue pretended to be wary and glanced at the two: "No need, I’m used to being on my own, sorry!"

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s attitude, the two women seemed unbothered, just nodded in understanding and started eating their food.

Gu Ningyue had arrived early, and what she ordered was almost gone, leaving just a cup of coffee in her hand.

She took out earphones from her bag and put them on, holding the coffee cup while gazing out of the window.

Not long after, the two women began to whisper.

"Heard our boss has a mistress outside, have you heard about this?"

"Uh-huh, someone who can get our boss under their control sure has means!"

"I heard..."

"Really? Can’t be! I thought it was a young girl, at least a fresh graduate, how could it be..."

"I heard it too, who knows if the rumor is true?"
