Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 389: Sooner or Later

Gu Wanwan couldn’t believe it—the man who had once taken off his coat to shield her from the rain was now pushing her into the abyss.

Ye Mingchen’s mother left, and it seemed that she was alone in the empty ward.

Li Jing stood silently beside the bed, looking at her pale face as if all energy had been drained away.

No matter how he tormented her now, Li Jing was sure she would no longer have any reaction.

His plaything had suddenly changed, and he didn’t like it at all.

"Everything she just said was true? Did you really incite Ye Mingchen to kill?"

Gu Wanwan’s eyes turned dully: "What do you think?"

She no longer wanted to recall the past; those memories were like knives stabbing into her heart.

Why, why did the man she used to like treat her this way?

"I don’t believe it." Li Jing smiled, watching her as he spoke softly.

Gu Wanwan looked at Li Jing, "You don’t believe what she said?"

Li Jing shook his head, "I don’t believe it. I not only don’t believe it, but I can also make sure you don’t go to jail."

Gu Wanwan’s pupils contracted: "What are you going to do to me?"

Li Jing gave a faint smile, "I recently developed a new drug. If you take it for three consecutive days, your mental state will become problematic. A person with mental issues shouldn’t go to jail, but to a psychiatric hospital, don’t you think?"

"No! I don’t want to go to a psychiatric hospital!" Gu Wanwan shrank back, leaning tightly against the headboard, "Li Jing, isn’t my suffering enough? Why won’t you let me go?"

Is this her retribution? The things she did to Gu Ningyue, now coming back to haunt her in another form.

No, it can’t be. If there’s karma, it should befall Ye Mingchen!

He’s nothing but a scoundrel!

Li Jing watched Gu Wanwan’s resistance, a strange smile forming on his lips: "It’s not up to you!"

He leaned closer to Gu Wanwan, not giving her a break just because she had been deeply shaken, "I just saved you, Gu Wanwan. You should thank me, shouldn’t you?"

Half an hour later, Gu Wanwan escaped out of the hospital ward’s back door while Li Jing was giving her a "check-up."

She couldn’t allow herself to become mentally ill; she had already seen how Gu Ningyue was ridiculed.

And back then, Gu Ningyue didn’t really have any mental issues.

Yet even in such circumstances, Gu Ningyue endured great pressure from the gossip.

If she were to become mentally ill, Gu Wanwan couldn’t imagine that world! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Most importantly, could Li Jing truly bring her back to normal then?

Even if she did return to normal, her life would be ruined, always seen as a mental patient!

Is there even happiness left for her in this life?

No, she can’t let it happen.

Gu Wanwan looked at the dense crowd below and the air cushion already set up; it was the first time she realized she had never had such terrifying courage.

Even faced with Gu Zheng’s concerned gaze and the long-awaited indifference from Li Yulan, she no longer hesitated.

She didn’t even feel an ounce of pain upon hearing Li Yulan hadn’t arrived.

"Dad, people speak kindly at the brink of death. There are things I’ve never told you because I’ve always felt I was raised outside, never really seen as your daughter." Gu Wanwan looked at Gu Zheng, her voice carried away by the rooftop wind, "All these years, I’ve never done anything for you, and even ruined the Gu Family’s name because of Ye Mingchen. I’m sorry, Dad!"

Gu Zheng looked at Gu Wanwan’s almost lifeless eyes, a sudden panic crossing his heart after so many calm years: "Wanwan, don’t say something like that. No matter what you do, you are still Dad’s daughter. Dad has already talked to the lawyer and will fight for the best outcome for you. Wanwan, do you not believe even Dad?"

Gu Wanwan looked at Gu Zheng’s face, carefully observing for the first time the man who had always kept her outside.

In just a few short months, he seemed to have aged a few years.

Perhaps since that birthday party, everything went wrong.

"Dad, I don’t want to go to jail. I want to be like before..." Gu Wanwan turned her head, gazing at the scenery on the horizon, "But everything can’t go back, Dad, thank you."

Gu Zheng anxiously wanted to approach, but under Gu Wanwan’s threats, everyone stepped back.

"Dad, I have a secret. I never knew whether to tell you." Gu Wanwan teary-eyed, "But now it doesn’t matter. I’m leaving. If there’s a next life, Dad, I hope I can be your daughter again."

As the words fell, Gu Wanwan jumped downward without giving anyone around her time to react.

"Wanwan!"

Screams erupted, Shen Hanyin holding her phone, couldn’t help but cover her mouth watching the scene: "She actually jumped!"

Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen were equally shocked, watching Gu Wanwan fall while the air cushion held up by several people failed to have the intended effect.

Gu Wanwan’s body was on the cushion, but a leg slammed hard against the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

From Shen Hanyin’s angle, she couldn’t see clearly: "Is she dead? Can’t those people move aside? Ugh..."

Shen Hanyin, for the first time, was so anxious, wishing she could push forward to record the video to send to Gu Ningyue.

A few doctors gathered there, the crowd slow to disperse, only retreating when hospital security arrived to clear the onlookers.

"Ning Yue, did you see? Gu Wanwan really jumped!"

"Ding-dong——"

Gu Ningyue: "I’m buffering, the network here isn’t great."

After a while, Gu Ningyue seemed to have finished watching Shen Hanyin’s nearly start-to-end video, replying: "She won’t die, but probably will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair."

Then, Gu Ningyue added, "From such a height, she won’t miss getting a comminuted fracture."

Shen Hanyin was puzzled: "How do you know?"

Gu Ningyue zoomed in on the video screenshots, circling certain details and sending them to Shen Hanyin: "During the fall, there was a gap between her and the cushion. Who knows, maybe Gu Wanwan did it on purpose?"

Shen Hanyin thought for a while, "It’s possible, perhaps trying to continue evading judgment. Truly disgusting!"

"Ding-dong——"

Gu Ningyue didn’t seem to care much about the result; not just indifferent, she even seemed dismissive, "You might dodge for now, but not forever; it’s only a matter of time, no need to dwell on it."
