Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 543: An Opportunity

Gu Ningyue found herself increasingly unable to understand Ji Qianqian’s feelings for Lu Qingqing. Dependence was understandable, but this level of attachment was something she couldn’t quite accept.

She wondered, once Ji Qianqian sobered up, would she feel uncomfortable about it?

If it were her, she would definitely move to a different city.

She drove home, and Ling Tianyou had not yet returned. Gu Ningyue instructed that the items previously taken out be put back in place, as they probably wouldn’t be going there again anytime soon.

Glancing at her phone, Gu Ningyue called Shen Hanyin. After confirming the size details, Gu Ningyue said into the phone, "How is your recovery? Are you really okay for the ninth of next month?"

If it was too difficult for Shen Hanyin, Gu Ningyue wouldn’t blame her even if she couldn’t make it.

Shen Hanyin replied, "Don’t worry! It’s been so long, attending a wedding shouldn’t be a problem. After all, it’s just sitting there saying a few words, right? I’ll be fine."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "That’s good. If you feel uncomfortable at all, you must speak up, don’t just endure it, it’s only an engagement party after all."

Besides, even if it were a wedding banquet, Gu Ningyue wouldn’t compare it to Shen Hanyin’s health situation.

No matter what, health is most important.

After having gotten hurt so many times, Gu Ningyue was particularly mindful of this.

"Alright, alright, I get it!" Shen Hanyin said warmly, "If you keep talking, I’ll start thinking I’m already paralyzed! Really, I’m fine. When you go to see the dress this afternoon, don’t forget to video call me! I want to choose personally. Hehe!"

Gu Ningyue responded, "Yes, sir! Mission guaranteed to be completed."

After hanging up with Shen Hanyin, Ling Tianyou returned shortly afterward.

Aunt Zhang was in the kitchen preparing lunch, and Gu Ningyue was sitting on the sofa. With one hand resting on the backrest, she looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "I’ve got the detailed measurements for Han Yin, shall we go after lunch?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, handed his coat to a servant, and looked at Gu Ningyue, "Sure. I’m also a little tired, wanted to take a nap."

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "Did something happen at the company?"

"Mm." Ling Tianyou sat down next to Gu Ningyue, "But they’re just minor issues, already resolved."

Gu Ningyue turned her head, "Shall I guess what happened? If I guess correctly, would you agree to one condition of mine?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t reject, "Okay! Go ahead, guess what happened at the company."

He was somewhat skeptical that Gu Ningyue could guess correctly, as she, the future Young Madam of the Ling Family, typically didn’t involve herself in company matters.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Someone went to your company building entrance to cause trouble, using the excuse that one of your people injured a family member of theirs, or something similar. Am I right?"

Ling Tianyou was slightly stunned, his eyes showing a hint of shock, "How did you know? Did you go to the company?"

Before Gu Ningyue could speak, Ji Qianqian beside her said, "No, she spent the whole morning playing on the water with me."

Ling Tianyou was even more puzzled, "Then how did you know about this?"

This matter didn’t seem big enough to have spread so quickly, so how did Gu Ningyue know about it?

This puzzled Ling Tianyou greatly.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "You sent someone to handle it, but they demanded an exorbitant amount of money, so you called the police, intending to take them to the station. Unexpectedly, before the police arrived, they found a chance to slip away, right?"

Ling Tianyou’s expression shifted from shock to amazement, "That’s right. It’s been years since I’ve encountered such fraudsters."

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "So, I guessed right?"

Ling Tianyou responded, "Yes, exactly."

Gu Ningyue smiled brightly at Ling Tianyou, "Now let me think, what condition should I ask for?"

After a while, Gu Ningyue turned to Ling Tianyou, "How about, a chance for you to forgive me?"

She had given Lin Ruixian a card, giving him three chances, and she was somewhat afraid.

If Lin Ruixian used that card to propose something that could ruin her relationship with Ling Tianyou, what would she do?

After thinking it over, this was the only thing she could come up with.

Even though she didn’t know what might happen in the future, it was always good to warn Ling Tianyou in advance.

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "I can give you a chance for forgiveness, but I’m curious, what would you use it for?"

Gu Ningyue honestly shook her head, "I haven’t decided yet, but I hope there will never be a need to use it."

Ling Tianyou laughed slightly, "We’re on the same page, I also hope the chance I give would never need to be used."

"Alright, enough about that." Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Weren’t you curious about how I found out about what happened at your company? It’s actually quite simple. Jin Chenglong’s son was locked up in detention, but Jin Xiaobao still had a bunch of reckless little minions. Without Jin Xiaobao, their golden ticket, do you think they could stand living without money?"

"Once people fall from heaven to hell, reason becomes non-existent."

"They probably knew such a trivial matter wouldn’t require you, Mr. Qi, to show up. The amount they wanted probably seemed inconsequential to the President of Ling Company, surely they thought they’d get it. Even if they didn’t, they’d just leave, no loss on their part. After all, it’s the face of Ling Company, you can’t just beat people in broad daylight, can you?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "You’re right. After they left, I had someone investigate, and found that one of those people was a reliable subordinate of Jin Xiaobao. He wasn’t around on the night of the incident because he went home to visit family, and that’s why he wasn’t recognized today."

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "Exactly! These people are so desperate for money that they’d even have the guts to extort money from you, President Ling. Just insane!"

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, half-joking and half-serious, "Knowing this, I should’ve asked you to come to the company with me this morning."

Gu Ningyue asked, "Why? You want me to handle these people for you?"

"Yes!" Ling Tianyou said without hesitation, "If it were you, how would you deal with them?"

Gu Ningyue raised the corner of her lips, "Isn’t it easy? Since they have the nerve to extort money, let them have the nerve to collect it from me, right?"

With those people, she could take on ten of them!
