Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 367: Won’t Decline

Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou and gently nodded, "Exactly! Gu Wanwan’s days in the hospital are probably even harder than in prison!"

When she saw Li Jing that day, although there wasn’t much conversation, the aura around him and the look in his eyes made Gu Ningyue certain she wasn’t mistaken.

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "Why don’t you find some time to visit her again?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No need, isn’t watching the news better?"

Ling Tianyou paused slightly at her words, "Does that doctor have the guts?"

"No, in this matter, only Gu Wanwan will make the news." Gu Ningyue said leisurely.

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "What?"

Only Gu Wanwan making the news? That doctor seems quite capable.

After finishing the meal, a girl nearby was still troubled by her own thoughts.

Gu Ningyue stood up, stopped at the table of two people, and said, "Little girl, it’s better to understand someone you like more thoroughly, otherwise you might not even know how you die."

The girl was stunned, then frowned at Gu Ningyue and said, "Who are you? Eavesdropping on us, don’t you have any manners?"

Ling Tianyou glanced at the two lightly, and the girl was silenced by his gaze. For some reason, she opened her mouth but didn’t dare to speak again.

As the two of them exited the restaurant, the two girls began to whisper:

"That guy was so handsome!"

"Yeah! But what did that woman mean?"

"Who knows, maybe she’s got a screw loose!"

"There are so many rude people nowadays! Just ignore her."

"It’d be great if it was me standing next to such a handsome man..."

"In your dreams! That man doesn’t look ordinary at all."

"I was just dreaming aloud! But that woman sure has a great figure!"

"..."

After fastening the seatbelt, Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue somewhat surprised and said, "When did you become so kind-hearted, meddling in such things?"

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "Perhaps because I’m in a good mood today!"

She had acquired Ling Tianyou’s passport and successfully pulled off the switcheroo.

Before long, she could finally ’reunite’ with her master!

As long as she could see her master, her identity wouldn’t matter.

She believed her master would recognize her.

This belief, although peculiar, was firmly held by Gu Ningyue.

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "Is it because Gu Wanwan is about to get what’s coming to her?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "I guess so!"

Driving back home, Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou exchanged goodnight wishes and she went upstairs to her room.

The wound had scabbed over, and before long, when everything healed, she wouldn’t have anything to worry about.

"Ding-dong—"

"When are you coming to the U.S.? I’ve gone through a lot of trouble to keep your master here for another five or six days. If you don’t come soon, I really can’t keep him any longer."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the ticket, "Barring unforeseen events, I should be able to leave tomorrow night."

"How did you manage to keep my master there?"

"Ding-dong—"

"Hehe, you’ll know when you get here."

Seeing Lin Ruixian being secretive and unwilling to divulge, Gu Ningyue just pursed her lips and didn’t press further.

No matter the reason, as long as she could see her master, it was enough.

Just as she put down her phone to freshen up, a voice call invitation popped up on the screen.

Seeing the name, Gu Ningyue was momentarily stunned—it was Lu Qingqing!

After hesitating for two seconds, Gu Ningyue answered, "Hello?"

From the screen came Lu Qingqing’s somewhat unfamiliar voice, "Where are you now?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "At the villa, with Ling Tianyou."

Lu Qingqing chuckled lightly, "Miss Gu, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to cause you trouble! After all, my business with the Lin Family shouldn’t implicate the innocent."

"Did Miss Lu suddenly call me because of the Blood Jade?" Gu Ningyue asked leisurely, "Or is it to find Lin Ruixian?"

Lu Qingqing said, "Neither."

The only chance Shangguan Wu gave her had completely expired. Even if she found Lin Ruixian, it wouldn’t change anything now.

"Then why?" Gu Ningyue couldn’t quite understand.

Lu Qingqing said, "I have something I’d like you to help with."

Gu Ningyue asked, "What does Miss Lu need? If I can help, I won’t refuse."

Ji Qianqian still hadn’t returned to her normal self, and this was partly her own doing.

Consider it as something she owed them.

"I didn’t get the Blood Jade for Shangguan Wu, so although Qianqian’s condition has improved, she hasn’t recovered completely. I spent a fortune to obtain a prescription from Shangguan Wu that can temporarily alleviate the poison in Qianqian’s body." Lu Qingqing paused and continued, "I can’t do this alone, and there are very few people I trust. So I was hoping Miss Gu could lend me a small favor."

Since the last betrayal by Yun Jin, Lu Qingqing had fallen into a deep mistrust of those around her.

After much thought, Gu Ningyue seemed relatively more reliable in this affair.

Gu Ningyue pondered, "So, what do you need me to do?"

Lu Qingqing said, "I need three Jiuyue flowers as the medicinal guide. I heard President Ling grew some. I wonder if Miss Gu could persuade him to part with three of them."

Gu Ningyue had thought it was a big deal, but it turned out she just needed a few flowers: "Sure, if Tianyou hasn’t gone to bed yet, I’ll ask him."

Lu Qingqing thanked her, then added, "By the way, they need to include the roots, or the effect will be halved."

Gu Ningyue replied, "Okay, I’ll do my best."

After all, Tianyou also seemed to treasure those flowers dearly.

Lu Qingqing said, "If you can get Jiuyue, I will reward you handsomely."

Gu Ningyue laughed, "No need, as long as Miss Lu doesn’t make things difficult for me, that would be enough thanks."

Lu Qingqing said calmly, "I won’t. As I said, it’s between me and the Lin Family."

Despite being a woman, Lu Qingqing was often more decisive and magnanimous than men.

In this regard, Gu Ningyue believed what she said was true.

Yet it still made her slightly worried about Lin Ruixian, having attracted such a formidable woman for his sake.

At this thought, Gu Ningyue opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say what she wanted to.

If she intervened for Lin Ruixian, she might get herself entangled as well.

She’d rather look for ways to make some substantial contributions!

After ending the voice call and asking about Ji Qianqian’s recent condition, Gu Ningyue pondered for a moment and then, after freshening up, went to Ling Tianyou’s room door.

"Knock—Knock—, Tianyou, are you asleep?"
