Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 386: Forced Out

After breakfast, Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian and said, "I want to go for a walk. Are you coming with me, or do you have other plans?"

Lin Ruixian glanced at the time on his wrist, "Let’s go together! I don’t have any special plans today anyway."

Gu Ningyue nodded. Her luggage was with Ling Tianyou, and she didn’t bring it to U country.

But it’s probably already been thrown away by Ling Tianyou by now!

With no unexpected incidents currently, she would have to stay here for three to five days. Not having a change of clothes wouldn’t work.

Sitting in Lin Ruixian’s blue sports car, Gu Ningyue seemed to drift back to when she was on a mission. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Back then in U country, she and Lin Ruixian were sitting in a car just like this.

Except that car was rented, and there were people closely tailing them, leaving no spirit to enjoy the scenery on either side.

"U country has changed so much, I almost can’t recognize it."

Looking at the scenery outside, Gu Ningyue suddenly said softly.

Lin Ruixian smiled lightly, "I think so too, but it’s been three or four years. After so long, how could U country remain the same?"

A breeze swept by, lifting Gu Ningyue’s fine hair, "Has it really been that long? I always feel like it happened just yesterday."

Instinctively, she touched her face. Apart from these eyes, nothing about her now resembled the past.

She wondered if her master would recognize her when they met again?

Gu Ningyue thought, and a smile unconsciously curved her lips, with anticipation in her eyes.

Finally, finally, she’ll meet her master!

At the clothing store, Gu Ningyue walked and browsed as Lin Ruixian was probably spotted by the sales clerk and was speaking with them nearby.

After a while, he caught up and asked, "Have you picked something?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, holding two pieces of clothing, "Which one looks better?"

Lin Ruixian glanced over. One was a refined lace dress that would undoubtedly complement Gu Ningyue’s figure perfectly.

The other was a casual black outfit, similar to what Gu Ningyue often wore before.

"This black one!" Lin Ruixian said, looking at Gu Ningyue, "Perhaps your master will think better of you in light of that outfit."

Gu Ningyue smiled lightly, "I’ll try this dress! Excuse me, where’s the fitting room?"

The sales clerk led Gu Ningyue to the fitting room, leaving Lin Ruixian standing there, puzzled, "So, you chose the opposite of my suggestion?"

A few minutes later, the fitting room door was pushed open again.

Lin Ruixian’s eyes widened, and his heartbeat quickened, "You..."

Gu Ningyue turned gently in front of the mirror, then turned to Lin Ruixian and smiled, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Lin Ruixian nodded, "Very nice."

The lace-designed dress hugged Gu Ningyue’s fair skin. Just a bit thinner or heavier, and it wouldn’t have the same stunning effect.

"Then this one!" Gu Ningyue picked up her discarded coat, "Charge it to my card! No password needed."

The sales clerk took the card, then turned away.

Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, "Is that your card or Ling Tianyou’s?"

Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, "Of course it’s mine."

If it were Ling Tianyou’s card, wouldn’t that give him a chance to find out where she was?

Lin Rui nodded, "That’s good."

When the sales clerk returned the card, they also packed Gu Ningyue’s changed clothes.

Gu Ningyue carried them and looked at Lin Ruixian, "Let’s go to the next place."

Lin Ruixian responded, "Why did you choose this one?"

Gu Ningyue knew why he asked like that, simply smiled and said, "Do you think after I ’died,’ if my master saw someone dressed like me, her first reaction would be affection or annoyance?"

With her understanding of her master, it was definitely the latter.

Lin Ruixian looked puzzled, "Then when you meet your master, what do you plan to say?"

Gu Ningyue shrugged, "To be honest, I haven’t figured that out yet."

Lin Ruixian didn’t know what to say, just looked at Gu Ningyue, "Sometimes, I feel things are tough for you."

An unexplained death, reborn into such a demanding family, seems so tragic.

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "It’s okay! I guess this is my fate!"

"By the way, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you." Lin Ruixian paused, looking at Gu Ningyue, "What exactly happened the day you died? Was it really an accident when that cruise ship suddenly sank?"

The cause of Gu Weiwei’s death had always been a knot in Lin Ruixian’s heart, but once Gu Weiwei appeared before him in the form of Gu Ningyue, with various incidents following, this matter faded.

Now, coming to U country, recalling the days of working side by side, Lin Ruixian finally asked about it.

Gu Ningyue stopped walking, U country by the sea, the breeze carrying the scent of the ocean, stirred up painful memories for her, "It wasn’t an accident, someone wanted me dead!"

Lin Ruixian turned serious, "You’ve investigated? Are there any leads?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian, "I did investigate, but the trail suddenly went cold. I can only confirm it wasn’t an accident, someone did it on purpose. Beyond that, I know nothing."

Lin Ruixian mused for a moment, looking at Gu Ningyue, "Actually, long ago, I heard some speculations about your death."

Gu Ningyue asked, "Like what?"

Lin Ruixian sighed, "After you died, your master kept investigating. She didn’t believe it was an accident, especially since it was an official ship! How could they be so careless? Plus, that route had been traveled for decades, and the captain was seasoned."

Gu Ningyue furrowed her brow, "And then?"

Lin Ruixian gave her a look, "Then, just when your master was about to find something, a senior leader suddenly told her to take a vacation."

Gu Ningyue was startled, "Didn’t my master request a vacation herself?" Could it be otherwise?

"No! She was coerced." Lin Ruixian shook his head, "I used to think it was your master being too heartbroken and wanted to get away, but when I met your master this time, I realized it wasn’t like that."

Gu Ningyue stood still, seemingly underestimating some things.

Only by meeting her master could some matters be put to rest.

It was hard on her master, forced out of the organization, who knows when they’ll be back.

And she herself, for an instant, even questioned her master, which was truly uncalled for!
