Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 369: Old Wounds

"Bang——"

"Thud——"

"Clang——"

There were bursts of noise from upstairs. The maid, holding a cloth, nervously looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, what are Young Madam and President Ling doing upstairs? Should we go and check?"

"Young Madam and President Ling, could there be some conflict between them?"

But why is there no sound of arguing?

Aunt Zhang was also a bit frightened listening to the commotion upstairs. She had just seen with her own eyes Young Madam standing outside the door, knocking on President Ling’s door. She thought Gu Ningyue had finally come around and stopped ignoring President Ling.

But listening to the sounds, it was a bit... too enthusiastic.

"No need, don’t disturb Young Madam and President Ling." Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said.

The maid glanced upstairs, "But..."

But listening to the commotion upstairs, if no one goes and asks, something serious might happen, right?

Just after the maid finished speaking, there came a low exclamation from Gu Ningyue inside.

The maid holding the cloth blushed inexplicably. Without waiting for Aunt Zhang’s instruction, she turned around and quickly went back to her own room.

Leaving Aunt Zhang standing there alone, a complex emotion in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened again, and Gu Ningyue came out with slightly messy hair.

There was a white stain under her skirt that hadn’t dried.

As she turned her head, she happened to see Aunt Zhang staring blankly at her, a slight pause on her face, "Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang cleared her throat, "Young Madam, are you... are you okay?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at the stain on her body, "I’m fine!"

Saying this, she turned and went back into her room.

It’s all Ling Tianyou’s fault, he just had to make a move on her, and that whole milkshake spilled on her body.

Seeing Aunt Zhang’s earlier expression, she probably misunderstood ten out of ten times.

But if it’s a misunderstanding, so be it. At least Ling Tianyou promised to uproot the Jiuyue Flower and send it to Lu Qingqing tomorrow.

Couldn’t tell that Ling Tianyou’s skills are really not bad...

How did she not notice it before? It’s definitely a blunder.

It seems that being too handsome and successful isn’t good, it’s hard to focus on anything else besides those.

Entering the bedroom, changing into pajamas, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed and sent a message to Lu Qingqing: "Someone will deliver the Jiuyue Flower to your address tomorrow, remember to receive it."

"Ding dong——"

Lu Qingqing: "Thank you."

Gu Ningyue: "About Qianqian’s matter, if you need anything, you can also come to me, I’ll do my best."

"Ding dong——"

Lu Qingqing: "Well, actually without the Blood Jade, the outcome is about the same. Shangguan Wuyue said if Qianqian’s poison can’t be neutralized, after the age of thirty, she might die for no apparent reason."

Gu Ningyue’s heart trembled as she looked at Lu Qingqing’s words, "How could this be?"

"Ding dong——"

Lu Qingqing: "I’m not sure either, but Shangguan Wuyue did say that before he left."

Some things have long exceeded what she can comprehend.

She can only believe what Shangguan Wuyue said, beyond that, she has no other way.

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect it to be like this, she felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.

She thought Ji Qianqian would just be like a child for the rest of her life, but she made a mistake.

It seems, this time going to meet the master in U country, she has to try harder to win favor, it can’t be as simple as just saying a few words to the master.

The master has always had a good relationship with Shangguan Wuyue, not just Shangguan Wuyue, almost every relationship in the master’s organization is significant.

If the master steps in, maybe Shangguan Wuyue would be willing to treat Ji Qianqian again.

But this cost, she doesn’t know if she can afford it.

However, if the master is around, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed, lost in thoughts.

Next door, Ling Tianyou stood in front of the mirror, looking at a slight red scratch on his neck, a smile emerging on his lips, "Didn’t expect, still a little wild cat."

The way Gu Ningyue acted just now was really cute!

If it weren’t because Gu Ningyue got serious later, he would really want to tease her more.

After tidying up his clothes, Ling Tianyou lay on the bed but didn’t know why he couldn’t sleep for a long time.

Gu Ningyue’s soft body seemed to be in his arms, but when he actually tried to hold something, there was only desolation.

Ling Tianyou discontentedly pressed his lips together, no, continuing like this, isn’t he going to become a monk?

He has to think of a way to make Gu Ningyue willingly lie by his side.

Even if not willingly, he can’t continue to live alone like this.

At this moment, a melodious ringtone suddenly came from the phone placed beside the pillow. Ling Tianyou glanced at the caller ID on the phone, Chi Xingtong? Why is she calling at such a late hour?

Answering the call, Chi Xingtong’s slightly drunken voice came from the other side, "Brother Tianyou, are you asleep? Am I not disturbing you? Hehe..."

Ling Tianyou glanced at the empty large double bed, "No, why are you still awake so late?"

Chi Xingtong laughed, "I got promoted today! Just came back after drinking with colleagues, guess who I ran into?"

Ling Tianyou casually asked, "Who?"

Chi Xingtong said, "I ran into Huang Zhenxing, Uncle Huang! He came here for an inspection, didn’t expect to meet him. I heard he’s now running a drug rehabilitation center and has earned quite a bit of money!"

Ling Tianyou was originally uninterested, thinking only about how to make Gu Ningyue comply, but unexpectedly, after hearing the latter part of Chi Xingtong’s words, he suddenly sat up straight, "Drug rehabilitation center?"

Chi Xingtong nodded, "Yes! You know, unlike Z Country, the control here over those things is very strict, so there are many such people! Uncle Huang came this time to investigate the situation, considering opening one here as well."

Ling Tianyou asked, "Uncle Huang also has business in Z Country?"

Chi Xingtong was silent for two seconds, seemingly pondering Ling Tianyou’s question, "No, I remember there isn’t, why don’t you ask Uncle Huang? No, Brother Tianyou, why are you asking about this?"

An edge of bitterness crossed Ling Tianyou’s eyes, "Nothing, just asking casually."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Tianyou looked at the string of numbers Chi Xingtong sent earlier, having already made a plan in his mind.

He’s known a bit about Huang Zhenxing for a long time, but simply because Ling Chengyang had some conflicts with Huang Zhenxing early on, they haven’t been in contact for years.

This time, maybe in Tianze’s matter, Huang Zhenxing can help.

After all, it’s been so many years, Huang Zhenxing shouldn’t still hold on to those trivial old matters.
