Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 405: The Price Paid

After hanging up the voice call with Shen Hanyin, Gu Ningyue suddenly started to worry about Ling Tianyou’s current situation.

Counting the days, Ling Tianze has already been sent to rehab by Ling Tianyou.

Living alone in the villa, it’s uncertain if Ling Tianyou’s mood will become more irritable.

She wondered if her departure had added more to Ling Tianyou’s hardships.

Thinking about it, Gu Ningyue hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist sending a WeChat message to Ling Tianyou: "Are you okay?"

"Ding-dong—" Ling Tianyou replied almost instantly, "I’m fine, how about you? When are you coming back?"

Staring at those four words on the screen, Gu Ningyue typed and deleted numerous sentences in the chat box, but each time felt something was off. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

After pondering for a long time, she finally replied with just two words: "Uncertain."

Ling Tianyou surprisingly didn’t ask her where she was, and there were no more intrusion alerts on her phone.

It seems that Ling Tianyou’s subordinates have completely given up trying.

With just this amount of skill, trying to locate her? Dream on.

In the world, only two people could find her, one was her master, the other was the white hacker Kai Qi from U Country.

Kai Qi is so arrogant, if Ling Tianyou wants him to do anything, the cost wouldn’t be small.

But given the current situation, he seems to not be angry with her anymore?

Just as she thought this, Gu Ningyue shook her head, how is that possible? It’s impossible.

Ling Tianyou always stands at the top, when has he ever been fooled like this?

In the original owner’s memory, the last person who did something similar to Ling Tianyou has completely vanished from A City.

Even if she’s his fiancée, if he just lets it slide, that would be seeing a ghost!

Probably knowing that he couldn’t find out her whereabouts, he decided not to waste effort on it!

Only when she returns to A City can she find out how Ling Tianyou will treat her.

Just then, Gu Ningyue’s phone notification sounded once again.

"Ding-dong—"

Picking up her phone, on the screen, Ling Tianyou sent a voice message: "I’ve sent Tianze to a rehab center, introduced by Xing Tong. When you return, accompany me to visit him!"

His voice sounded a bit tired, and Gu Ningyue almost immediately forgot her worries, feeling a pang of heartache, and replied without thinking: "Okay."

"Ding-dong—"

Surprisingly, Ling Tianyou thanked her during this moment: "Thank you."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Did she see it wrong? She didn’t misread it, right! Ling Tianyou actually forgot her previous actions and thanked her in such a situation?

Seeing what Ling Tianyou said, Gu Ningyue began to feel a bit uncomfortable.

Clearly from the beginning, it was Ling Tianyou who was helping her, she’s the one who should be thankful.

Ever since she was reborn, Ling Tianyou has been by her side, never having done anything to trample on her boundaries.

In a way, she’s the one who should be saying thank you.

Especially on that day facing Nan Shaoyue, if it weren’t for Ling Tianyou arriving in time, what would have happened to her?

That thank you is something she owes Ling Tianyou.

"I’ll return as soon as possible. By then, whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything. This time, I won’t hold back anything."

Gu Ningyue sighed lightly; if only she were really Gu Ningyue.

A Cinderella abused by a stepmother, finally with the prince.

No secrets, only a simple past, then maybe she’d be in a better relationship environment with Ling Tianyou now.

After all, the original owner wasn’t without any redeeming qualities.

What she can give to Ling Tianyou now is just this promise.

When the original owner’s mother was still around, the original owner was also a very likable child.

In the villa, looking at the message Gu Ningyue sent, Ling Tianyou’s furrowed brows relaxed: "Okay, then can I ask you a question now, will you answer me?"

Gu Ningyue: "It depends on the question, why don’t you say it?"

Ling Tianyou: "Did Lin Ruixian also go to U Country?"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Is it too late for her to take back what she just said?

Gu Ningyue sidestepped: "Why are you asking? Are you very wary of Lin Ruixian?"

"Ding-dong—", Ling Tianyou: "You don’t need to worry about that, just tell me if Lin Ruixian is in U Country."

G couldn’t track down Gu Ningyue’s location, but he could confirm that when she left Z Country, she only bought a ticket for herself.

He went out of his way to verify all the passengers on that flight, and none were connected to Gu Ningyue.

Which means there’s only one possibility left, Lin Ruixian is in U Country.

He doesn’t know why he thinks this way, but the only person who came to mind at that time was Lin Ruixian.

"Ding-dong—"

Gu Ningyue: "Haven’t you already checked? Do you still need me to give you an answer?"

Since Ling Tianyou asked this, he must have already investigated, right?

Even though he once promised not to investigate her matters again, she had also promised Ling Tianyou that she wouldn’t hide anything from him.

Things she couldn’t even achieve herself, asking Ling Tianyou now would be unreasonable.

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue didn’t feel any anger brewing from her heart.

Receiving such a reply, Ling Tianyou was temporarily unsure of what was going on.

According to Gu Ningyue’s nature, yes is yes, no is no, she doesn’t even fear for herself, is there a need to deceive him about this matter after leaving?

Though his passport has been renewed, he can’t track down when or where Gu Ningyue went, even if he drops everything to go to U Country, it’ll all depend on luck.

And he, never believes in luck, only in strength.

G couldn’t find Gu Ningyue’s location, nor could he find any information about Lin Ruixian.

His assistant mentioned that G sank into depression for a whole day, deeply doubting his abilities.

But fortunately, there was new information from Kai Qi’s side.

Although the woman they found didn’t get the desired results from Kai Qi, Ling Tianyou was still somewhat satisfied with the final answer.

With this in mind, Ling Tianyou dialed his assistant’s number: "Tomorrow morning’s meeting is moved to 3 p.m. Unless it’s urgent, don’t call me before noon."

The assistant agreed, though a bit puzzled, but dared not ask more about Ling Tianyou’s affairs, especially when Ling Tianyou is in such a bad mood right now.
