Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 545: No Second Chance

Looking at Ji Qianqian’s charming back, Gu Ningyue turned her head to Ling Tianyou and said, "Do you think if Ji Qianqian becomes a normal person again, what kind of man would be worthy of her?"

In Gu Ningyue’s mind, someone with Ji Qianqian’s looks wouldn’t even be considered for someone less than a talented and handsome young man.

At the very least, he must be good-looking too.

Ling Tianyou responded with a faint smile, offering a very rational answer to Gu Ningyue’s query, "That would depend on what kind of person Ji Qianqian is under normal circumstances. If she’s like Gu Wanwan, anyone with money is good enough for her."

Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, "Qianqian could never be someone like Gu Wanwan, it’s impossible."

Though the time spent together wasn’t long, Ji Qianqian always seemed to be a harmless girl in her heart. How could she be a bad person?

A bad person like Gu Wanwan? Gu Ningyue outright rejected the thought.

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "Have you learned about Ji Qianqian’s past? Have you ever asked Lu Qingqing about Ji Qianqian’s character and her reasons? If not, you’d better ask."

After being prompted by Ling Tianyou like this, for some reason, her originally firm belief began to waver.

"I don’t need to!" Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "As long as Ji Qianqian returns to normal, this will all be over. Even if she is a bad person, at least we’ve helped her, and she wouldn’t repay kindness with malice."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes flickered with a meaningful emotion, "Sometimes, it’s not about you letting others go; others might not let you go."

Gu Ningyue was stunned, looking at Ling Tianyou, "Have you investigated Ji Qianqian’s past?"

Otherwise, why would he ask such a question?

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No, I haven’t. To be honest, she poses no threat to me. Even Lu Qingqing, do you think the Ling Family is truly afraid of him? Lu Qingqing’s father is about to retire, and his influence will fade. It’s the same in the political world. Even with a few influential subordinates and trainees, what of it? In a few years, do you think the Lu Family will have any standing in the political arena?"

When it comes to power and wealth, no one in all of A City can compare to the Ling Family.

Ling Tianyou was confident about this, and the Ling Family’s leniency towards the Lu Family was merely for business matters.

Most importantly, there was no need to make an enemy of them.

After all, more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean more walls.

Ling Tianyou had always believed that even if they couldn’t become friends, there was no need to become enemies.

But if something really comes up, he won’t be afraid.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have terminated the contract with the Chen Family.

For so long, Gu Ningyue still somewhat understood Ling Tianyou, "I know you aren’t afraid of the Lu Family, but I think Ji Qianqian’s past shouldn’t be too complicated either. Let’s leave it be! Just to leave myself with some beautiful thoughts."

She had seen too much darkness while performing tasks, so Gu Ningyue was inherently suspicious of beautiful things.

If something breaks her imagination again this time, Gu Ningyue would really be a bit sad.

Because in her heart, Ji Qianqian was synonymous with purity.

"That works too." Ling Tianyou reached out and patted Gu Ningyue’s head, "As long as I’m here, no one can harm you."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Really? Not even your father and brother would harm me?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Of course."

Gu Ningyue smiled gently, "That’s good. Otherwise, I’d be a little scared!"

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, somewhat puzzled, "Afraid of my father? Since he’s already agreed to us being together, he won’t go back on his word."

Gu Ningyue shook her head gently, "I’m afraid your brother might come after me when he gets out since I reported him!"

Speaking of Ling Tianze, Ling Tianyou’s smile faded, "We’ll see when the time comes! We won’t be living together, and he can’t just come over and mess around. Besides, Liu Liu will be there! Liu Liu has always been able to keep him in line!"

Gu Ningyue sighed, holding back, looking at Ling Tianyou, and asked, "Do you know what Ling Tianze was involved with?"

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "Of course, it’s drugs!"

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course, but drugs come in many types. When your brother tested positive, it was said to be meth, but when I was at the villa, I saw things on your brother’s desk that looked like more than just meth."

Ling Tianyou paused, "Ning Yue, what do you mean?"

Ling Tianyou suddenly couldn’t understand Gu Ningyue’s words.

Gu Ningyue sighed, "Come to my room, and I’ll show you something."

Originally, Gu Ningyue did not plan to tell Ling Tianyou about this, but since things had reached this point, Gu Ningyue thought it would be better to inform Ling Tianyou about what was going on.

Ling Tianyou followed Gu Ningyue to her bedroom. Gu Ningyue turned on the computer, her jade-like fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard for a few moments, revealing the page.

After a while, Gu Ningyue found a website on Baidu and said to Ling Tianyou, "Have you noticed the differences between the two?"

Looking at the explanations on Baidu Baike, a drop of cold sweat dripped down Ling Tianyou’s forehead, "I understand what you mean now..."

Ling Tianyou felt as if a myriad of emotions was swirling inside of him.

Gu Ningyue reached out and patted his shoulder, "Take it easy, this is just my conjecture."

Ling Tianyou stared at the screen for a long while, then turned to Gu Ningyue and asked, "What exactly were you going to do at the villa? Can you tell me now?"

The excuse Gu Ningyue gave at the time, in hindsight, did have loopholes.

It’s just that back then, with the tension between them and Tianze in custody, he didn’t think much of it!

Gu Ningyue recounted the situation truthfully, "Shen Hanyin was stabbed over ten times by some addicts, and I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. If this matter can’t be resolved, how do you expect me to face Shen Hanyin and her parents? They are much kinder to me than Gu Zheng."

If her daughter was hurt like that, she would surely hate ’Gu Ningyue’, the instigator, to death, but they didn’t.

Perhaps they did, but ultimately, everything was suppressed.

Just for this, she had to find out who was behind it.

"I knew it was too much of a coincidence." Ling Tianyou shook his head, looking at Gu Ningyue, "Such things can’t happen a second time!"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "If your brother doesn’t have a second time, then I won’t have a second time either."
