Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 366: Rising to the Next Level

Faced with this benefactor who couldn’t even be described as ’obscenely rich’, Gu Ningyue could only silently eat her food without wanting to express any extra feelings.

While eating, Gu Ningyue suddenly heard voices from the neighboring table. Although they weren’t loud, the conversation faintly reached her ears.

"I went to the hospital for a check-up recently, and the doctor in charge was quite handsome. Hehe, I got his WeChat."

"Do you have his photo? Let me see."

"Let me find it! His friend just posted a few pictures; his fashion sense is really nice."

"Wow, very elegant-looking! He doesn’t seem that old. Are you sure you can handle an older guy romance?"

"Hehe, no worries; I checked. He’s actually a year older than me and already an office director." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Have you been chatting recently? Any hope?"

"Ugh! Don’t mention it. We were chatting quite frequently a few days ago, but after I asked him some questions, the conversation improved a bit. I wanted to ask him out to a movie, but he didn’t reply. Yesterday, he finally texted back saying the hospital has been really busy, so he hasn’t had time to chat. What’s that supposed to mean, is he rejecting me?"

"That’s nothing. Why don’t you go to the hospital to see him? Find an excuse, bring some food; isn’t that easy?"

"Can I do that? I’ve heard there’s a suspect admitted to their hospital who he’s currently in charge of."

Gu Ningyue glanced up and exchanged a look with Ling Tianyou, seeing the same name in each other’s eyes: Gu Wanwan.

It seems they were talking about Gu Wanwan’s attending doctor!

"Suspect? Is it the second young lady of the Gu Family? Tsk. She’s lucky, hospitalized with such a good doctor."

Upon hearing this statement, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but reveal a mysterious smile, "Is it good luck or terribly bad luck? I guess we’ll find out soon enough."

Ling Tianyou paused his eating, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Do you want to know?"

Ling Tianyou pursed his lips, "I’m not that eager to know."

Gu Ningyue lightly smiled, "You see, I’m not going to use this as an opportunity to deal with you. When I went to see Shen Hanyin the other day, I also checked on Gu Wanwan. After all... we were sisters once; she lost her child, so I had to go see her, right?"

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "And then drove her to suicide?"

Gu Ningyue pursed her lips and smiled, "It has nothing to do with me; don’t talk nonsense."

Although Ling Tianyou didn’t say anything, his expression showed Gu Ningyue evident disbelief.

Gu Ningyue wasn’t bothered and continued, "When I came out of Gu Wanwan’s ward, I met a doctor. He should be the person they mentioned."

Wearing a white coat, although handsome, he carried a unique rotten aura of criminals.

In her past life, Gu Ningyue had encountered too many such people. The man whose badge read Li Jing was mostly a potential danger.

"That man is extraordinary, definitely not an ordinary person."

Ling Tianyou finally showed some curiosity, "What’s unusual about him?"

Gu Ningyue stared into Ling Tianyou’s eyes, "A psychopath, have you ever seen one?"

Ling Tianyou found it somewhat amusing, but looking at Gu Ningyue’s serious eyes, he couldn’t manage a smile.

Gu Ningyue was serious!

"I’ve looked into this Dr. Li Jing; he’s a local of City A and quite well-off. But Li Jing’s father was led astray by some scheming individuals, which affected his mental health." Gu Ningyue lowered her voice, "After that, he frequently subjected Li Jing to domestic violence."

Ling Tianyou frowned, "What about his mother? Didn’t she care?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "This is the funniest part. His mother not only didn’t care but even when Li Jing tried to escape, she’d catch him and give his father the opportunity."

"What a thing!" Ling Tianyou, though used to seeing highs and lows, couldn’t help but curse when hearing this, "Is she really his biological mother?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "She is indeed his biological mother. How could she not be? Later, Li Jing’s father’s mental issues worsened, and he was sent to a mental institution for treatment. Li Jing’s mother, having exhausted the family’s savings over the years, had to find a job. By then, Li Jing had entered middle school, and the household finally became peaceful."

Ling Tianyou frowned, "What a sin! So what happened then? How did Li Jing turn into what he is now?"

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "After five or six years of domestic violence, Li Jing became very withdrawn. He grew silent and introverted in middle school. Plus, by then, Li Jing had already developed good looks, attracting dislike from the boys in his class, leading to frequent bullying. School bullying is never limited to girls!"

This was something Gu Ningyue knew early on.

During her school years, she had also witnessed such incidents.

If her personality hadn’t already formed by then, allowing her to retaliate against anyone who tried to bully her, she might have become one of the victims too.

"With time, Li Jing’s psyche started to twist. After entering high school, while his character slowly became more cheerful—in fact, somewhat eccentric—his social circle did improve, and no one bullied him anymore. Occasionally, those who had bullied him in middle school would provoke him, but Li Jing handled them well. At least from the perspective of a victim, he handled it well."

Ling Tianyou asked, "How did he manage it?"

Gu Ningyue softly laughed, "He followed those boys to the men’s restroom, lit fire to a gasoline-soaked blanket, and tossed it on them while they were using the toilet. Restrooms have no surveillance."

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "That’s quite ruthless."

For a high school student to have such audacity is unimaginable.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Indeed! After those students screamed, he splashed in a bucket of water to save them and even called others for help. By then, everyone had already regarded him as the rescuer."

Ling Tianyou was silent for a few seconds, "What happened to those students?"

Gu Ningyue recalled, "One student had severe burns on his back, while another had the misfortune of losing half his hair."

Ling Tianyou asked, "Didn’t the school thoroughly investigate?"

Gu Ningyue replied calmly, "They did investigate, but no one knew what Li Jing did to make everyone believe those students caused the fire themselves. Whatever they said, Li Jing received no punishment. Quite the contrary, he was commended by the school."

Ling Tianyou pondered, "It seems, over the years, he must have advanced further?"
