Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 400: Then Thank You Very Much

Thinking back to the time when Ji Qianqian was being targeted, Ling Tianyou paid close attention to Jin Chenglong and his group.

In the end, Ji Qianqian was safely returned to Lu Qingqing’s side, and Lu Qingqing used her connections to take Jin Chenglong down.

We thought that would be the end of it, but the subsequent turmoil exceeded expectations.

However, thinking about it carefully, it all made sense; Jin Chenglong secretly possessing firearms was truly unbelievable.

"Where did he get the gun?" Lin Ruixian voiced Gu Ningyue’s doubt: "Not to mention a place like the Capital City, even in smaller cities, gun control has become stricter than five years ago. If Jin Chenglong has a gun and instructed someone to shoot Shangguan Wuyue, he certainly has more than one."

Xia Yingbai nodded but didn’t answer Lin Ruixian’s question: "So, without President Ling’s help, it’s unlikely you and your friend could handle it alone."

Gu Ningyue didn’t speak. Jin Chenglong had troubled her before, and she wanted to return the favor.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity arrived.

She quietly ate her food, slowly forming a rough plan in her mind.

"Miss Gu, what’s the name of your friend?" Xia Yingbai asked while eating and looking at Gu Ningyue.

"Huh?" Gu Ningyue snapped back and quickly said, "The patient is Ji Qianqian. She has a friend who grew up with her, like a sister, named Lu Qingqing."

Xia Yingbai knowingly said, "So it’s her."

Gu Ningyue was puzzled, "Teacher Xia, you know her too?"

Xia Yingbai nodded slightly, "I know a bit. I heard about her a few days ago from Shangguan Wuyue."

As he spoke, Xia Yingbai gently tapped his wine glass, "Lu Qingqing is about to successfully get what Shangguan Wuyue wants, but unexpectedly, someone else emerged and not only took the item but also revealed the Heimu Organization. Why do you think the person who took it did so?"

Gu Ningyue sat there without any expression, but her heart began to race.

If her mentor said this, he must know more.

If he knew she was also involved in the Y City operation, how would she explain?

The mentor likely investigated her with Ling Tianyou, a more comprehensive investigation.

"Maybe there’s something hard to explain!" Gu Ningyue heard her own voice say, "After all, there aren’t many who dare to go against the Lu Family now."

Xia Yingbai gave a light laugh, his dazzling face now exuding an indescribable emotion: "No worries, we’ll know soon. I’ve been invited to stay at the Lu Family home for a few days during this visit back. We’ll find out then."

"What?" This time, it was Lin Ruixian’s turn to be nervous: "Teacher Xia, you’re going to the Lu Family?"

If Xia Yingbai went to the Lu Family, wouldn’t his secrets be exposed?

These things he had kept from Xia Yingbai, yet Xia Yingbai was invited to the Lu Family?

Xia Yingbai examined Lin Ruixian: "Yes! The chairman of the Lu Family invited me to teach her daughter. It seems they’re planning to send her to R Country next year. As a renowned foreign language teacher in Z Country, do you think it’s inappropriate for me to go?"

Lin Ruixian shook his head, a slight sweat forming on his forehead: "Appropriate, very appropriate."

"Then why are you so nervous?" Xia Yingbai half-jokingly, half-seriously asked: "You’re not the one who stole the item, are you?"

Lin Ruixian said, "Teacher Xia, you really know how to joke."

Xia Yingbai looked at Lin Ruixian and said, "It better not be you. The Lu Family has already paid Mr. Zhang a one-million deposit to find the person who stole it. If it’s you, running to the ends of the earth won’t help."

Gu Ningyue’s fingers slowly clenched; Lu Qingqing had found someone from the organization?

Lin Ruixian was also a bit shocked, a rare glimpse of fear in his eyes.

Gu Ningyue looked at Xia Yingbai and said, "Teacher Xia, as long as I help Shangguan Wuyue get revenge, Shangguan Wuyue will surely help treat Ji Qianqian, right?"

Xia Yingbai nodded, "Of course. Shangguan Wuyue always keeps his word; once he agrees, he’ll follow through."

Gu Ningyue responded, "That’s good."

For the next long while, Xia Yingbai and Lin Ruixian chatted about changes in U Country over the past two years.

Gu Ningyue listened absentmindedly while quietly eating her food, not joining the conversation.

I thought this meeting would be pleasant, but instead, I received such news.

It seems after returning, I need to find a way to ensure Jin Chenglong gets what he deserves quickly.

Otherwise, once Lin Ruixian is dealt with by the organization, there’ll be no turning back.

No wonder Lu Qingqing kept saying in the voice chat that this was an issue between her and the Lin Family, it had nothing to do with her.

Turns out, she already found the organization; she wants Lin Ruixian’s life.

She wants Lin Ruixian’s whole life to compensate for Ji Qianqian’s once healthy life!

After the meal, a waiter came to settle the bill. Gu Ningyue quickly took out a card before Xia Yingbai could, "Let me pay! It’s my first time meeting Teacher Xia, I should cover this."

Xia Yingbai didn’t refuse, just said blandly, "Then when I return, I’ll have the chance to treat Miss Gu and President Ling to a simple meal!"

Gu Ningyue thought of Xia Yingbai’s cooking and then looked at the leftovers on the table, immediately losing her appetite.

The mentor’s skills are better than any chef at a high-end restaurant.

The waiter took Gu Ningyue’s card, "Hello, the total is ninety-three thousand, seven hundred."

Gu Ningyue nodded with a smile, showing no sign of surprise or distress.

Finally meeting the mentor, no amount of money would be too much.

Furthermore, she learned a lot of what she wanted to know during this meal.

As she put the card back into her bag, Xia Yingbai suddenly looked at the wooden keychain hanging from Gu Ningyue’s bag, a serious look on his face: "This keychain, Miss Gu, where did you get it?"

Gu Ningyue’s lips curled slightly, "This? I stole it. If Teacher Xia likes it, it’s yours. Consider it a small gift from me to you."

As she spoke, Gu Ningyue deftly removed the wooden keychain and handed it to her mentor.

Under Lin Ruixian’s watchful eyes, Xia Yingbai accepted the wooden keychain from Gu Ningyue, "Thank you."

"Teacher Xia, when did you become interested in such trifles?" Lin Ruixian joked, "You should have said earlier! I have a bunch of these."

Xia Yingbai glanced at him, and Lin Ruixian immediately chose to remain silent, not daring to say another word.
