Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 420: Ruthless Character

Gu Ningyue sighed, looking at Ling Tianyou’s handsome face that seemed about to leave her, "I’m going to find Xia Yingbai, so... you can’t be present."

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Gu Ningyue knew this would be Ling Tianyou’s reaction and wasn’t surprised, "This is a long story. If you don’t mind, we can talk while we eat? I’m a bit hungry."

She hadn’t even had breakfast since boarding the plane!

Ling Tianyou was silent for two seconds, called Aunt Zhang to prepare some food to be sent to the room, and along the way, he also brought a bottle of red wine.

With slender fingers, he filled the wine glass, and Gu Ningyue, without eating anything first, took a big gulp.

"Drink slowly," Ling Tianyou couldn’t help saying when he saw Gu Ningyue like this, "If you drink too much, I won’t take care of you."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Ling Tianyou responded, looking at Gu Ningyue, "So, did you meet Xia Yingbai in U Country this time?"

Gu Ningyue’s eating paused slightly, then she truthfully replied, "I met her, but... she doesn’t recognize me anymore."

Ling Tianyou asked, "She doesn’t recognize you anymore, why?"

Someone who Gu Ningyue remembered even in her dreams, yet she no longer recognized Gu Ningyue?

Does this prove that Gu Ningyue wasn’t important in Xia Yingbai’s heart?

If that’s the case...

Gu Ningyue said indifferently, "Yes! I’ve changed my appearance, it’s normal that she doesn’t recognize me. It’s okay, I can wait." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ling Tianyou was getting more confused, "What’s this got to do with you going to U Country alone specifically?"

"This matter should start from the day I ’died’." Gu Ningyue bit her lip, looking at Ling Tianyou, "The next part may make you think I’m crazy, but whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth."

Ling Tianyou creased his brow slightly, "Go on."

He really wanted to hear what Gu Ningyue would say.

Gu Ningyue took a deep breath, "I’m actually... not Gu Ningyue."

Ling Tianyou’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, "Then who are you?"

"Didn’t you always ask when I learned my skills?" Gu Ningyue swirled the wine glass, "I’ve known my skills for a long time, and I’m not called Gu Ningyue, I’m Gu Weiwei. You’ve seen the Z Country assassin rankings, right? I’m Gu Weiwei, who ranked first. But now, the first has probably changed!"

She hadn’t dared to look at that ranking ever since, but she knew even without thinking that her name had been replaced since the moment she died.

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue incredulously and instantly uttered, "Gu Ningyue, are you joking with me?"

He had expected to hear something sophisticated from Gu Ningyue, but didn’t expect such nonsense.

If it weren’t for Gu Ningyue’s clear eyes, he might have thought she drank too much.

"No." Gu Ningyue took a sip of the red wine from her glass, "I knew you wouldn’t believe it. But it’s okay, I have a witness."

Ling Tianyou was stunned, a witness for such a matter?

Even if there was, ten to one, they must’ve colluded with her, already contacted beforehand.

Gu Ningyue seemed to see through Ling Tianyou’s thoughts, smilingly continued to Ling Tianyou, "I know what you’re thinking, you think the witness must’ve taken some benefit from me and would definitely speak in my favor, right?"

"Then what do you think I can give Mr. Chen to make him help me as a witness?"

Ling Tianyou showed no expression at first but was finally shocked hearing Mr. Chen’s name, "Mr. Chen? No matter what you give Mr. Chen, he would never help you with such a lie."

Gu Ningyue said, "That’s it? Mr. Chen was the first to discover I’m not Gu Ningyue. He knows many things even I don’t understand clearly. If you’re curious, you can ask Mr. Chen. After you ask him, come back and tell me, I have many things I don’t understand. Ah, I digressed, back to me... You probably don’t know, right? The real Gu Ningyue already died at that birthday party."

"She was killed by Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan, they drugged Gu Ningyue’s cup. She didn’t even have time to call for help before she was gone."

"I don’t know why I became her, maybe it’s fate?"

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

How long has she been dead? She didn’t even know what happened after she died.

She only remembered the bottom of the sea being cold, so cold that she slowly lost consciousness, even forgetting to struggle.

Ling Tianyou was silent, carefully savoring Gu Ningyue’s words.

Since that birthday party, the two being together, Gu Ningyue indeed was very different from before.

If Gu Ningyue was a speck of dust, then the girl living with him was a shining star.

No matter how bitter life was, it couldn’t hide her brilliance.

And her peculiar behavior, thinking about it now, there was indeed another reason.

But is there really such a fantastical thing in this world?

Not knowing how much time passed, until Gu Ningyue finished eating the sandwich in front of her, Ling Tianyou then asked as she slowly cut the steak, "How did you die?"

Gu Ningyue raised her eyes to glance at him, "During a mission, the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Even I didn’t escape."

Ling Tianyou was clearly still skeptical, "Which day? What time?"

Gu Ningyue calmly recounted the incident’s time in detail, even down to the exact minute, "You can check, even deliberately try to get the list of the people on board that day. I used my master’s name, Xia Yingbai, it should be easy to verify."

After all, it was an official cruise, even at the last moment before the accident, Gu Ningyue still believed such a mistake like hitting an iceberg couldn’t possibly happen.

That route had been taken so many times, she never imagined an accident would occur.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, and she lost her life there.

"Yeah, I’ll check," Ling Tianyou said, "Continue."

Indeed, there was such news when investigating Xia Yingbai before.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "I always thought my death was due to bad luck, but until I was reborn through Gu Ningyue’s body, after discovering some things, I realized it was intentional."

Though not knowing why they targeted her, or rather targeted her master, one thing was clear.

Someone who could disregard the lives of everyone on board must be a heartless character.

Even if found, she might not necessarily win.
