Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 555: Thankfully, You’re by My Side

Gu Ningyue quietly observed the doctor’s expression, trying to find some clues from his words and actions. However, looking at his shocked demeanor, it didn’t seem to be feigned.

"Strict assessments only evaluate professional knowledge and skills, but can they assess a person’s humanity?" Gu Ningyue crossed her arms, her voice cold as ice: "When he was in the detention center, Ling Tianze didn’t show such a defeated look. Why did he have such terrible thoughts after arriving here? Also, the book on Ling Tianze’s desk, who gave it to him? Is reading dark literature really helpful for his current condition?"

Ling Tianyou’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, "Doctor Li, what’s going on here?"

The doctor was baffled by the question, "What book? All our reading materials are in the library and require a library card to borrow. Besides, considering the institute here, each book is carefully selected. How could dark literature appear?"

Gu Ningyue looked at the doctor and said, "If you don’t believe it, go see for yourself. That book should still be on Ling Tianze’s desk!"

The doctor was silent for two seconds, left with a quick ’Excuse me.’

Seizing the gap, Ling Tianyou held Gu Ningyue’s hand and asked, "Is Tianze in bad shape? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, recounting everything that had happened in the hospital room to Ling Tianyou: "Either someone broke in, or someone was bought off deliberately trying to make you lose this brother. Even if Ling Tianze doesn’t die, your relationship will worsen day by day! It seems this person already hates you to the bone!"

Chasing all the way here feels chilling just thinking about it.

Ling Tianyou furrowed his brow even tighter, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

Gu Ningyue squeezed his hand, "Don’t rush, let’s see how to resolve Tianze’s situation first. Don’t strain your mind too much. I think no matter how I ask, Tianze is not willing to reveal who the person is; it should be someone both you and Ling Tianze know, otherwise how could Ling Tianze believe that person’s nonsense and think you intend to keep him locked up here forever?"

Ling Tianyou nodded and looked at Gu Ningyue, "Luckily, I still have you by my side."

If Gu Ningyue hadn’t appeared today, perhaps I would never have discovered what’s really going on.

In fact, I might not even know it when one day Ling Tianze is already dead!

Just the thought of it sent shivers down Ling Tianyou’s spine.

Gu Ningyue chuckled silently; at this moment, the doctor returned, holding the book Gu Ningyue had mentioned, his face gravely serious.

"How is it? Any results?" Gu Ningyue looked at the doctor and asked.

The doctor coughed once and spoke to the two of them, "This book was brought in by a small nurse from the hospital. I’ve already reprimanded her. President Ling, Young Madam, I assure you, this will not happen again."

Gu Ningyue didn’t respond but looked at the doctor and asked, "What’s the name of that little nurse? I’d like to meet her. Can you bring her here?"

The doctor hesitated at this scene, "This..."

"Don’t worry, we won’t trouble her!" Gu Ningyue quickly added.

She wouldn’t bother with small fries; some people, to her, aren’t even worth lifting a finger.

The doctor, hearing Gu Ningyue’s words, called someone to bring the nurse over.

Gu Ningyue sized up the young nurse standing before her, who looked like she had just graduated from college: "Why did you bring this book to Ling Tianze?"

The young nurse’s gaze lingered only on Ling Tianyou. She had thought Ling Tianze was handsome enough, but the man before her far exceeded her expectations.

Gu Ningyue was speechless for a moment before Ling Tianyou spoke, "I’m asking you a question, why aren’t you answering?"

The young nurse snapped out of it, "I... I was just bored, so I brought the book to read. I got busy later and left it aside. I don’t know why it ended up in Ling Tianze’s room!"

Gu Ningyue glanced at her, asked for her name, and inquired about some details before letting her leave.

Ling Tianyou seemed a bit surprised at the side, "You just let her go like that?"

Gu Ningyue shrugged, "What else? Let her stay here staring at you blankly?"

Ling Tianyou chuckled, turned to the sweating Doctor Li, and said, "I hope today’s situation doesn’t happen again!"

His voice was as cold as ice, as if he wasn’t the same person who just smiled warmly at Gu Ningyue.

The doctor almost collapsed to his knees in fear, "Yes. President Ling, rest assured! This will never happen again."

Leaving the Detox Recovery Center, Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt, glancing at Ling Tianyou, "Was it always like this before?"

Ling Tianyou paused as he buckled his seatbelt, clearly not understanding Gu Ningyue’s meaning, "What?"

Gu Ningyue turned to Ling Tianyou, "Did women often stare at you like that in the past?"

Just thinking about the young nurse’s gaze towards Ling Tianyou made Gu Ningyue feel uneasy.

It’s like her belongings being coveted by others, a bit uncomfortable.

A trace of smile appeared on Ling Tianyou’s lips, "Are you jealous?"

Gu Ningyue turned away, "You wouldn’t like her, what jealousy? I just don’t like others staring at you."

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "Why care about them? As long as I only have eyes for you!"

"Hmm." Gu Ningyue responded softly, "Do you think the doctor genuinely didn’t know about today’s incident, or was he bought off too?"

Ling Tianyou started the car, "Judging by his demeanor, he probably didn’t know! Besides, it wouldn’t be worth the risk for him."

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I think it’s not necessarily the case."

"How do you say?" Ling Tianyou asked.

Gu Ningyue recalled the earlier scene, "He went in to talk to Tianze first then called me in after a while. With such a book on the desk, I saw it; didn’t he see it? In such a rigorous recovery center, they should be mindful of every move the members make."

Ling Tianyou responded, "I’ll assign people to keep a watch and ensure no issues arise during this period."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "By the way, I haven’t told Tianze about our engagement."

"Hmm? Why didn’t you mention it?" Ling Tianyou was somewhat surprised.

Gu Ningyue looked at the scenery ahead, "It’s better for you to personally tell Tianze about it."

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Alright. Next time we meet, I’ll have a good chat with Tianze!"
