Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 461: Worth a Try

Ling Tianyou got out of the car in a daze, and Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and asked repeatedly, "Did you really put your people all over the restaurant?"

Ling Tianyou nodded without hesitation, "Of course."

Only then did Gu Ningyue walk towards the coffee shop with him. Since Ling Tianyou said so, she could be at ease.

As she pushed open the door of the coffee shop, a waiter came up to greet them, "Hello, welcome."

Gu Ningyue followed the waiter’s guidance to the furthest corner, which was the only vacant spot.

Ling Tianyou, on the other hand, casually sat beside one of his subordinates and ordered a coffee without saying anything.

It was uncertain how much time had passed, but it was almost the time she’d agreed to meet Li Jing, and the coffee shop door finally opened.

Li Jing was not wearing a white coat, but was casually dressed in a gray T-shirt. Although he held a somewhat old-fashioned briefcase, he looked less gloomy than he did in the hospital.

Gu Ningyue waved her hand, quickly attracting Li Jing’s attention, "Over here!"

Li Jing slowly approached Gu Ningyue’s table, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her, while a waiter came to ask with a smile what he needed.

Li Jing casually ordered a coffee and a dessert and sent the waiter away.

Gu Ningyue wasn’t in a hurry to discuss the main topic, instead, she looked at Li Jing and smiled, "I didn’t expect Doctor Li to like desserts that girls usually enjoy. It seems Doctor Li has a young girl’s heart too!"

Li Jing said lightly, "The desserts here are sweet but not cloying, worth a try. A few years ago, I tried it by chance and became a little addicted, even though I normally don’t like sweets. I recommend Miss Gu try them; they’re really good."

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, I’ve had too much bitterness since I was young to enjoy ’sweetness.’"

She was speaking in a way meant for the man opposite her to understand.

"Is that so?" Li Jing didn’t seem interested in responding, but instead looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Then I was presumptuous; please, Miss Gu, don’t mind."

Gu Ningyue gave a faint smile, not saying anything.

Li Jing appeared to be such a gentleman!

After a while, the things Li Jing ordered were served, and after the waiter left, he looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Does Miss Gu want to know the current situation of Second Miss Gu?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback. Why did Li Jing suddenly bring up Gu Wanwan?

"Whatever Doctor Li wants to say, just say it. I don’t like beating around the bush."

She had already expected that today Li Jing wouldn’t easily reveal the mastermind behind things.

But that’s alright; she has the time to wait for Li Jing to slowly disclose the information she wants.

After a brief silence, Gu Ningyue said, looking at Li Jing.

Li Jing raised an eyebrow; Gu Ningyue was indeed very different from Gu Wanwan.

Gu Wanwan was quite fond of such games.

"It’s actually nothing..." Li Jing seemed indifferent as he said, "Since Second Miss Gu jumped off a building and lost a leg, she completely sank into madness. And just a few days ago, Second Miss Gu’s in-laws suddenly came to the hospital. They hoped the hospital would help issue some certificates and even offered me a large sum of money. Of course, I didn’t accept the money. I thought Miss Gu might want to know about this."

Gu Ningyue slightly furrowed her brow. Li Jing didn’t make it explicit, but she already understood the underlying meaning.

Indeed, the Ye Family is still trying all sorts of ways to save their son.

"You tell me this, do you want to take credit or have other motives?" Gu Ningyue raised her eyebrow, looking at Li Jing, "You should know my purpose for coming here. As for these unrelated matters, honestly, I’m not interested at all."

Right now, she just wanted to know who’s behind Li Jing.

Who made him do this? If things fall apart in the future, who will protect him?

Li Jing stirred his coffee, smiling as he said, "Miss Gu, don’t be so anxious. Since I invited Miss Gu here today, I came with sincerity. Miss Gu is not afraid of not knowing what she wants?"

"So, what made you change your mind and sit here?" Gu Ningyue said leisurely, "Don’t tell me it was a conscience awakening; that, I won’t believe, oh!"

If the devil had a conscience, would this world still have Hell?

Li Jing looked deeply at Gu Ningyue, indeed! What made him sit in front of this woman? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Clearly, clearly she seemed to be like a light that already burned him, yet he still appeared here.

"It’s laughable, really, I have a favor to ask Miss Gu." Li Jing said as he took out a thin file from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue looked at Li Jing suspiciously, then took the file from his hand.

"A contract to purchase medical equipment?" Gu Ningyue read the title and immediately understood Li Jing’s intentions, "Doctor Li, isn’t your plan a bit too ambitious?"

If she sacrificed the Ling Family for a mastermind’s name, wouldn’t that be penny-wise and pound foolish?

Moreover, does she look that foolish?

Li Jing, seeing Gu Ningyue somewhat displeased as she put down the file, seemed to have anticipated this situation and wasn’t flustered, "Miss Gu, don’t be upset; this kind of specialized equipment can’t be bought without hospital authorization in Country Z. I really have no choice but to ask Miss Gu. If Miss Gu is willing, I can help Miss Gu with another favor. I believe Miss Gu wants those she hates to be punished, right?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t say anything, just quietly looked at the man in front of her, his eyes very beautiful, slightly resembling Lin Ruixian’s.

Just differently, within those eyes, there was a chilling desire.

After a while, Gu Ningyue let out a soft laugh, "Has Doctor Li always done business with others? If so, it seems those who previously did business with Doctor Li, must have been fools!"

Gu Wanwan has already faced consequences or has been punished, so why should she cling to this wasted person?

Li Jing invited her over today, clearly not to tell her the mastermind, but to drag her into this mess!

Unfortunately, she’s not the naive young lady she was; she sees far more than Li Jing imagines.

Li Jing watched the disdain and sarcasm on Gu Ningyue’s face, her expression making it seem as if he was the fool at this moment.

The slender fingers involuntarily clenched. He really hated Gu Ningyi’s contemptuous gaze like this!
