Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 440: Impossible to Have

At dawn the next day, Ling Tianyou was awakened by his phone alarm.

He glanced at the time and, for the first time, didn’t get up immediately but instead lay in bed for another ten minutes before finally getting up and opening the curtains.

The bright morning sunlight instantly poured into the room, bathing him and fully waking up the somewhat groggy Ling Tianyou.

Twenty minutes later, Ling Tianyou changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ningyue, who usually stayed in bed, was already sitting on the downstairs sofa and greeted him, "Hi, good morning."

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, whose eyes were a bit puffy but looked spirited, and said, "Up so early today, it’s only seven."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Early to bed and early to rise is good for health. My wounds have just healed, and I want to start going out for morning exercises every day from today. How about you? Want to join me?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No, you stay safe."

Gu Ningyue responded and watched as Aunt Zhang brought breakfast to the table, inviting the two over to eat, and then turned off the morning news and moved to the dining table.

"What’s your plan for today?" Gu Ningyue asked.

It was then that Ling Tianyou vaguely remembered that he had an appointment with Mr. Chen this afternoon to attend a tea gathering at his house.

"Today?" Ling Tianyou hesitated for two seconds, "Mr. Chen is hosting a tea gathering and invited me."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Oh, I see!"

Ling Tianyou asked, "What’s the matter? You have something?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, just asking casually. I thought you were taking me home to talk about the engagement."

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "No rush. It’s not too late to go back after accompanying you to see the doctor tomorrow. Why, are you so eager to become the real Mrs. Ling?"

Gu Ningyue gave him a coquettish glance, "Stop it. I need to plan my time." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ling Tianyou didn’t believe her and asked, "Aren’t all the things done? What else do you have to do? Oh right, I forgot to tell you that Ye Mingchen’s case will go to trial in two weeks. Even if he puts all the blame on Gu Wanwan, it won’t work. The evidence we have is already complete. He can’t escape!"

Gu Ningyue nodded lightly, "I know, but if Gu Wanwan could testify, perhaps it would add a few more years to Ye Mingchen’s sentence."

Ling Tianyou chuckled at this, "Even without that, he wouldn’t get off lightly. Ye Mingchen’s company is guilty of tax evasion and making fake contracts. The amount they have to pay in compensation has already left the Ye Family overwhelmed. Moreover, Ye Mingchen is involved in another murder case. Though he didn’t kill anyone personally, someone did die because of him. Even if he doesn’t get the death penalty, he won’t be out of prison for many years."

At this point, Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue and asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"

Gu Ningyue took a bite of her sandwich and slowly said, "Jin Chenglong, there’s still Jin Chenglong’s matter that hasn’t been resolved. I need to find a way to help Shangguan Wuyue get revenge and let Ji Qianqian return to normal."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes flickered, wanting to say something, but then he changed his words, "Let me handle this! Jin Chenglong’s bodyguards are not to be underestimated. You’re just recovering; you shouldn’t take risks."

Gu Ningyue thought for a while. Although it’s more appropriate for Ling Tianyou to handle this, she wanted to claim credit from Lu Qingqing later; she couldn’t just do nothing.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ningyue said to Ling Tianyou, "Let’s do it this way! I’ll first investigate Jin Chenglong’s whereabouts. I think I’m better at this than your subordinates."

"Don’t worry, aside from this, I won’t do anything else."

Of course, if he were to trouble her, she wouldn’t be polite.

Ling Tianyou held his milk cup, watched Gu Ningyue for a long time, and then asked with some skepticism, "Are you serious?"

Gu Ningyue quickly nodded, "Of course."

Ling Tianyou thought for a moment, "Alright. If you dare to get hurt, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson."

Gu Ningyue laughed mischievously, "Okay, rest assured! If I get hurt, you can do whatever you want with me!"

As long as you dare to do it, anything goes!

After breakfast, Ling Tianyou picked up his coat, ready to go to the company.

But just as he put it on, Ling Tianyou suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, and handed the coat to Gu Ningyue, "Wait a minute, I forgot something."

Then, without waiting for Gu Ningyue to speak, Ling Tianyou hurriedly went upstairs to the guest room.

Gu Ningyue was a bit puzzled. Did Ling Tianyou have something over there?

After a while, Ling Tianyou came out.

Gu Ningyue asked him, "Did you find it?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "It might be at the company, I’ll check there."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but find it strange. Ling Tianyou wasn’t the type to forget things; why was he suddenly so confused?

"Alright, I’m leaving." Ling Tianyou walked to Gu Ningyue, took the coat, and put it on. "You must be careful, okay?"

Gu Ningyue obediently nodded, and after a long time, for once, offered to walk Ling Tianyou to the car and only went back inside after watching him leave.

"Ding-dong—"

The phone suddenly rang. Gu Ningyue opened WeChat and found that Man Qianshan, who hadn’t messaged her in a long time, sent a sticker: "Master, I’m finally free! I’ve been busy studying for exams lately and haven’t had time to talk to you. Do you miss me? Haha..."

After that, she sent a big laughing sticker.

Gu Ningyue looked at the empty sticker section in her WeChat and silently added, "How were your exams?"

"Ding-dong—"

Man Qianshan seemed excited, "Ahhhh, Master, you replied to me!"

"Ding-dong—"

"I ranked third in my class, Master, am I awesome or what? Haha, I memorized all the acupoint charts you asked me to. Can you teach me now?"

Gu Ningyue initially wanted to say something to refuse but suddenly changed her mind, thinking about going out to investigate Jin Chenglong today: "I’m going out later, let’s talk face-to-face."

"Ding-dong—"

"Sure, sure! I’m getting ready now, Master. Where should we meet?"

Gu Ningyue thought for a while and looked through the food app for a long time before finally deciding on a dessert shop near Jin Chenglong’s house for their meeting.

Compared to Shen Hanyin and herself, Man Qianshan was full of an enthusiasm and vitality that they could never have again.

It was something beautiful she had seen and longed for in others but could never possess herself.

Gu Ningyue had accepted this fate long ago.
