Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 565: It’s Not About the Money

Gu Ningyue left Gu Wanwan’s hospital room, and before putting her sunglasses back on, she smiled gently: "Excuse me, may I ask, the couple in today’s car accident, do you know which floor they’re on?"

The police officer standing on the left looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "They should already be on the sixth floor; you can go check there."

Gu Ningyue thanked him and turned to leave Gu Wanwan’s hospital room.

As soon as she arrived at the place the officer described, Gu Ningyue heard a chorus of crying.

"My son! How can life be so hard on you!"

"Xiao Ye, how could you leave your parents and just leave like that!"

"It’s you all, you ran over my son; you owe me my son’s life!"

"Let go of me! My son is dead too, you countryside madwoman! Let go!"

"Enough! This is a hospital; no loud noises. If you want to argue, do it outside!"

A doctor came over to scold the noisy crowd, and finally, a quiet settled in.

Gu Ningyue watched from a distance, not getting too close.

Some police had already called the families of the perpetrator and the victim aside for a private conversation. The voices were so low that Gu Ningyue couldn’t hear them clearly.

She could only vaguely make out words like compensation, and shortly after, Gu Ningyue watched Ji Zhiye’s parents take a pre-written check from the other party, faces in grief, and then turned to handle Ji Zhiye’s affairs.

Gu Ningyue’s lips curled into a bitter smile, yes indeed! The son is dead; money solves everything.

Moreover, Ji Zhiye’s clinic, his savings, and house are enough for the old couple to retire comfortably.

In the face of money and reality, their love for their son seems so weak.

Who knows what kind of family Ji Zhiye lived in all these years?

Gu Ningyue watched for a bit longer, then casually caught a nearby nurse to ask: "How are Lin Huixia’s injuries?"

The young nurse carried a tray; there was only this one couple admitted on this floor today, so the nurse wasn’t surprised by Gu Ningyue’s question: "The patient was rescued, but there are glass shards from the windshield that cut her face, she might be scarred forever!"

Gu Ningyue hadn’t expected this, it seems that rich daughter really hated Ji Zhiye and Lin Huixia to death.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such extremes for revenge!

Seeing the perpetrator’s family about to leave, Gu Ningyue followed from behind.

"Hello, you dropped your wallet!"

The culprit’s father turned around, momentarily mesmerized by the poised young woman standing behind him.

Are there truly women this stunning in the world? Even wearing sunglasses couldn’t hide her beauty.

"Oh no." It took his wife elbowing him for the culprit’s father to finally come back to his senses: "Thank you."

Gu Ningyue handed the wallet back to him and casually asked, "You’re welcome, my condolences."

The culprit’s father looked at Gu Ningyue’s attire, then asked, "Are you a friend of Miss Lin?"

No matter how he saw it, this girl standing before him was surely a wealthy heiress!

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Sort of! Just acquaintances, so I came to see her. I just didn’t expect her to still be unconscious."

The culprit’s father’s expression slightly changed, he just held his wife’s hand and walked down the steps, unwilling to speak further.

He’s from the Lin Family; best steer clear. The folks said the sooner this matter closes, the better. Anyone who asks — it was just an accident.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t get a penny.

Seeing that they were silent, wanting to leave the hospital quickly, Gu Ningyue asked again: "How much did the Ji Family ask from you? Judging by your looks, you haven’t retired yet? Where do you work high up?"

The culprit’s father glanced at Gu Ningyue: "We run our own business."

Gu Ningyue sighed: "Ah, I see! Considering this, you must have handed over all your savings. Hey, life ahead must be hard!"

The culprit’s father didn’t quite understand why Gu Ningyue was telling him this, but just by looking at her, he felt uneasy.

"One still has to survive."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Just worry you might not live well, the Ji Family is easy to dismiss, but the Lin Family isn’t that simple. I heard the Lin Family is somewhat influential in the underworld. If Lin Huixia wakes up to find out her face is ruined, your business here in City A will never succeed again! At least not in this city, don’t even think about it."

The culprit’s father seemed unaware of this information. His expression changed slightly: "Connected with the underworld? I’ll compensate whatever she asks..."

Gu Ningyue smiled mysteriously: "The eldest Miss of the Lin Family is notoriously arrogant and values her face most. Once she wakes up, no amount of money will settle this."

"After all, some things never were about money!"

"More so, you two have already given all your money to the Ji Family, haven’t you!"

The perpetrator’s parents exchanged glances, then looked at Gu Ningyue saying, "Miss, what exactly do you want to say?"

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly: "Nothing, just feel sorry that the money you exchanged for your son’s life might not be enough to solve the aftermath problems. I just feel it’s not worth it for you."

She wasn’t sure whether this incident was truly an accident, just probing the two elders to see their reaction!

If it really was an accident, those two would subconsciously refute her, or not understand what she meant.

Before she finished saying this, the parents’ expressions already changed.

That fear and surprise when a secret is uncovered, Gu Ningyue got her answer — it seems this car accident wasn’t really an accident.

With just a small test, she’d already drawn out the truth she wanted.

Watching the two elder faces turn pale, Gu Ningyue chuckled softly, turned, and swiftly walked away.

Ji Zhiye died, and the money given was only enough to deal with Ji Zhiye’s family.

The Lin Family doesn’t lack money, moreover, Lin Huixia’s hurt face wasn’t an ordinary injury.

The driver’s parents will most likely suffer from this.

The best outcome for them is to leave City A and never return.

That rich daughter does have some brains, knowing how to cut grass roots and eliminate problems with spending some money, solving her troubles, not to mention getting her revenge.

Back in her car, Gu Ningyue didn’t rush home but rested for a while, closed her eyes to think, and then drove back.

Too many evil deeds ultimately lead to self-destruction; perhaps Ji Zhiye’s fate was a kind of retribution!
