Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 560: Come Home Early

The next morning, when Gu Ningyue got up, it was already nine in the morning. After a quick wash, she went downstairs, but Ling Tianyou was no longer in the villa.

Thinking about the things she had to do today, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but frown a little.

Although Ling Tianyou was there to hold the fort, she still felt somewhat uneasy inside.

It would be foolproof if the organization sent someone over.

Unfortunately, she had now lost the support of her master and couldn’t deploy anyone from the organization for any effective protection against Shangguan Wuyue.

Even Shangguan Wuyue’s agreement to help Ji Qianqian with treatment was due to Lin Ruixian’s kindness.

If Lin Ruixian hadn’t recognized her at the time, none of what she has today would have been possible.

Even if it were possible, she would’ve had to put in numerous amounts more effort than now.

With this thought, Gu Ningyue let out a soft breath, hoping everything would go smoothly today!

"Aunt Zhang, when did Tianyou leave?" Gu Ningyue looked around, feeling like something was missing from the empty villa. "By the way, where’s Qianqian? Hasn’t she gotten up yet?"

Although Ji Qianqian slept a lot during the day, she strangely always got up early in the morning.

The girl who usually ate meals around the same time as herself; why hadn’t she seen her in the hall today?

Gu Ningyue unconsciously found it a bit odd.

"Young Madam, President Ling left after having breakfast this morning, and he took Miss Ji with him," Aunt Zhang said to Gu Ningyue. "He left a message for you to call him after you’ve eaten."

Gu Ningyue stretched lazily, "Got it."

It seemed like nothing major was happening; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her time to eat.

Aunt Zhang served the prepared meal on the table. Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Gu Ningyue said to Aunt Zhang, "Xiao Yun is okay now. The doctor said she just needs to follow the medical advice for treatment. In a while, she can come back."

Aunt Zhang responded, "Oh, that’s good news. Thank you, Young Madam."

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No problem."

Someone showing concern is not easy to come by, and Gu Ningyue understood Aunt Zhang’s feelings very well.

After breakfast, Gu Ningyue called Ling Tianyou: "Hello?"

It was quiet on Ling Tianyou’s side, seemingly in the office: "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yeah, just finished," Gu Ningyue replied. "Where did you take Ji Qianqian?"

Ling Tianyou’s answer was mysterious: "Guess?"

Gu Ningyue pondered for a moment before saying, "You’re not taking her to Shangguan Wuyue’s agreed location, are you?"

But that doesn’t seem right. Why is it so quiet?

"No, you’re overthinking it," Ling Tianyou said, addressing Gu Ningyue on the other end of the phone. "I just wanted to see what the relationship between Li Jing and Jin Chenglong really is."

Gu Ningyue immediately reacted, "You took Ji Qianqian to the hospital? You..."

Gu Ningyue didn’t understand why Ling Tianyou would do this. If Ji Qianqian got into trouble just before meeting Shangguan Wuyue, wouldn’t her most important goal be in vain?

Before Gu Ningyue could finish her sentence, Ling Tianyou interrupted: "I got news this morning that the phones Jin Chenglong used for those shady deals once bribed several doctors at the hospital where Li Jing works. But the names are vague and can’t be confirmed. You know Li Jing’s words cannot be fully trusted, right? This is a good opportunity to test it."

Gu Ningyue asked, "Ji Qianqian won’t be in danger, will she? Besides, hasn’t Ji Qianqian’s identity been exposed for quite some time? How could those people make a move a second time? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

The last time, it implicated the Lu Family, leading to Jin Chenglong losing his official position. His underlings should have learned the lesson by now and wouldn’t be so blind.

Ling Tianyou chuckled faintly: "If the person behind Li Jing isn’t Jin Chenglong, he’d certainly be interested in Ji Qianqian. After all, Li Jing isn’t truly mentally stable, is he?"

With this, Gu Ningyue instantly understood Ling Tianyou’s intention: "Alright, I understand, but you must promise to bring Ji Qianqian back safely."

Ling Tianyou paused, glanced at his watch, "It’s about time, we should have some results soon."

Gu Ningyue acknowledged and hung up the phone.

Ling Tianyou really had a bold move, taking Ji Qianqian to the hospital to test Li Jing at such a critical time, which really made her a bit uneasy.

No wonder he told her to call after breakfast, probably worried that upon knowing this news she wouldn’t even eat much before dropping it!

After anxiously waiting at home for another half an hour, Gu Ningyue finally received a call from Ling Tianyou: "How is it? Is Qianqian okay?"

We can’t blame her for worrying too much; this matter had already involved too many people.

If anything happened to Ji Qianqian, not only would all her efforts of recent days be wasted, but even Lin Ruixian’s injury would be for nothing.

Moreover, in order to get in contact with Shangguan Wuyue, she had already invested all her money in this.

It was indeed difficult for her not to worry!

"No worries, I’ve already arranged for Ji Qianqian to be sent back to the villa, she should be home in about fifteen minutes," Ling Tianyou said.

Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, "So, is the person behind Li Jing really Jin Chenglong?"

Ling Tianyou gave a soft affirmation, "It should be Jin Chenglong. When Li Jing saw Ji Qianqian, he was noticeably surprised and delighted. After learning that the girl in front of him was Ji Qianqian, he seemed somewhat disappointed and immediately had someone find out who brought her there. Most likely, they’re Jin Chenglong’s people. But they probably didn’t participate in previous actions, so they hadn’t seen Ji Qianqian’s picture."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment, though it made sense, she still felt something was odd: "How many doctors were involved in that deal back then?"

"A total of five people, one not in this hospital. Excluding Li Jing, one doctor was transferred, one took a long vacation, and the last one went out for training."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright, understood. Are you coming back for lunch?"

Ling Tianyou replied, "Yes, I’ll be back a little late; there are some things that need preparation."

Understanding what Ling Tianyou meant about the matters that needed preparation, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but ask, "Do such things require your folksy presence?"

Ling Tianyou said nonchalantly, "If this matter wasn’t related to you, I would indeed prefer to just sit in the office and earn a living by flipping through documents. What do you think, Ning Yue?"

Gu Ningyue paused, cleared her throat, and said, "Well then, hurry back for lunch, okay? I’m hanging up now!"
