Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 484: Absolutely Not Real

Casually dialed Ling Tianyou’s number, after just a few rings, it was answered: "Hello?"

The deep, magnetic voice of Ling Tianyou came from the other end, making Gu Ningyue’s heart skip a beat. She then silently cursed herself for being such a fool—getting engaged soon, yet still unable to resist his charm.

"Tianyou, there’s something I want to talk to you about, is it convenient now?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ling Tianyou glanced at the conference room filled with people but shook his head and said, "I’m not busy, go ahead."

Gu Ningyue said, "Can you ask Kai Qi to help me check an ID?"

Ling Tianyou was taken aback: "Check an ID? Whose?"

Could it be that Gu Ningyue was also looking for her father but never mentioned it?

Gu Ningyue briefly explained, and Ling Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, I’ll contact Kai Qi later to see if he can help."

Gu Ningyue responded, "Okay, I’ll wait for your news."

"Okay." Ling Tianyou nodded lightly: "If there’s nothing else, shall I hang up?"

The gentle inquiry left those who were used to Ling Tianyou’s cold demeanor shocked.

Is this the same Ling Tianyou they knew, resembling an ice mountain? Was this an illusion?

This had to be an illusion, it couldn’t be real!

After hanging up, Ling Tianyou noticed everyone staring at him wide-eyed, and he lightly tapped the table with his fingers: "Why are you all looking at me? Focus on the PPT!"

After the meeting ended, someone pulled an assistant’s arm and whispered: "Why is President Ling in such a good mood lately? Is there something to celebrate?"

The assistant laughed, probably because the questioner was a friend, so they lowered their voice to reveal some news: "President Ling is getting engaged."

The questioner was stunned: "With whom? Miss Gu or Miss Chen?"

The assistant hurriedly replied: "Of course, it’s Miss Gu. Don’t let President Ling hear this, or you’ll suffer."

The questioner nodded in understanding: "When are they getting engaged? Any news?"

The assistant shook his head: "I don’t know either, but it should be soon..."

The questioner murmured softly: "I saw Miss Chen having dinner with President Ling the other day, I thought they were rekindling old feelings!"

"Shh, if President Ling hears that, he’ll dock your pay." The assistant moved closer while saying this: "President Ling and Miss Gu have a good relationship, don’t mention anything about Miss Chen in front of Mr. Gu!"

The questioner nodded, thinking that the Gu family’s daughter had indeed risen above her previous troubles.

Previously, being caught cheating by Ye Mingchen, everyone thought Miss Gu had lost face, and that Ling Tianyou had only come to Gu Ningyue’s rescue on a whim.

How could these two possibly be together?

But who would have thought, after all this time, they were actually getting engaged? It’s truly surprising.

In the CEO’s office, Ling Tianyou looked at what Gu Ningyue had sent and called G: "Did Kai Qi leave City A?"

G said: "No. Before Young Madam returned home, Kai Qi said he was going to City Y, but after Young Madam returned, he said he would stay in City A for a while."

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Find a way to contact him, I need something from him."

Ever since the last time he sought Kai Qi’s help for Gu Ningyue, he disappeared again.

Right now, G was probably the only person who could reach him.

G responded, subconsciously asking: "Did Young Madam disappear again?"

Ling Tianyou: "..."

Feeling he misspoke, G quickly said: "I’ll try to contact Kai Qi right away, goodbye President Ling!"

He hung up the call, wiping cold sweat in relief.

Thankfully, it wasn’t face-to-face, or he’d be digging his own grave.

After reaching out to Kai Qi, G directly mentioned that Ling Tianyou had a task for him. He expected Kai Qi to agree upon hearing Ling Tianyou’s name, just like last time, but Kai Qi surprisingly declined: "Sorry, I’m very busy lately, can’t help."

G was a bit surprised, "President Ling would certainly offer a good price, don’t you want to reconsider?"

Kai Qi smiled faintly, "I don’t need money."

G asked, perplexed: "Then what would make you help President Ling with this?"

Having already unintentionally annoyed Ling Tianyou, if he couldn’t secure Kai Qi’s help, he dreaded to think of the consequences.

Kai Qi was silent for an unknown length before G thought the call had dropped, then Kai Qi suddenly made an unexpected request: "I want to meet with President Ling’s fiancée, Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue had flown back with Xia Yingbai, maybe she knew where Xia Yingbai was.

G was taken aback, surprised by Kai Qi’s demand: "I’ll call President Ling about this, I can’t make the decision."

Kai Qi nodded: "Alright."

G inquired: "Why do you want to see Miss Gu? Did she offend you in some way, or?"

"No, it’s just that she might know some inside information, and I’d like to speak with her directly." Kai Qi said.

G exhaled in relief: "Okay, then please wait, I’ll call President Ling now."

Kai Qi thought for a moment: "No need, I’ll talk to President Ling myself!"

"Fine." G was glad to avoid more interactions with Ling Tianyou these days, worried a misstep might upset him again.

A few minutes later, Ling Tianyou received a call from Kai Qi.

"You want to see Gu Ningyue? Why?" Ling Tianyou furrowed his brows slightly.

Kai Qi laughed: "Miss Gu returned to Z Nation with someone I’ve been looking for, but I can’t find that person. So, I’d like to ask Miss Gu about her whereabouts. If President Ling helps me with this favor, any of President Ling’s future needs would be my priority, with no charge at all."

Ling Tianyou suddenly realized that the person returning with Gu Ningyue was none other than her mentor, Xia Yingbai, wasn’t it?

With Kai Qi’s methods, finding Xia Yingbai in City A should’ve been a simple matter, so why hasn’t he succeeded and instead turned to Gu Ningyue?

With doubts in his mind, Ling Tianyou said: "I need to ask Ning Yue’s opinion on this, I’ll get back to you later."

Kai Qi wasn’t impatient, having searched all this time, he could afford a day or two of waiting.

After ending the call, Ling Tianyou sent a text to Gu Ningyue: "Kai Qi wants to meet you to ask something about your mentor, do you want to see him?"

Looking at Ling Tianyou’s message, Gu Ningyue’s fingers tightened slowly—should she meet a great figure like Kai Qi?
