Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 512: Error Rate

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Gu Ningyue became interested.

Kai Qi gave a wry smile and roughly recounted what had happened back then.

Listening to it, even though Gu Ningyue didn’t know how much Kai Qi might have concealed, just hearing what he said made her support her master’s decision.

"Mr. Kai Qi, I feel that regardless of whether it’s a misunderstanding, monitoring and tracking all the time is unacceptable! No one can endure such oppression."

Even if her master did like Kai Qi, such an aggressive approach was unbearable.

Moreover, her master had no feelings for Kai Qi at all, otherwise, she wouldn’t have treated him this way.

Such a fierce onslaught is something no one can withstand.

Kai Qi smiled faintly, "I had no choice, I was very worried about her. Back then, her mental state was not good, I just wanted to help her. That’s all, with no ill intent."

Gu Ningyue was speechless for a moment, then looked at Kai Qi after a while and said, "But if this continues, even if Annie returns, Mr. Kai Qi would still do the same, resolving the misunderstanding will cause Annie to leave again."

Kai Qi nodded, "I know, I just want to meet her. As long as she’s willing, I’m willing to follow her wishes."

The ever-arrogant Kai Qi seemed utterly humble before her master due to love, leaving Gu Ningyue unsure whether to feel happy or sad.

She herself liked Ling Tianyou very much, but if one day she became like this, perhaps... perhaps she would hate herself.

Crazed yet humiliated, just thinking about it didn’t bode well.

The ordered dishes were brought to the table, and the three of them ate while making small talk. Gu Ningyue noticed that Kai Qi was always trying to extract information from her.

He kept attempting to obtain news about her master from her, but fortunately, Gu Ningyue adhered to one belief, that not knowing truly meant not knowing.

No matter how Kai Qi asked, Gu Ningyue kept repeating the same line in varied ways.

Until the meal was over, Kai Qi did not get any useful information.

However, Gu Ningyue ended up learning some things about her master that she wouldn’t have found out through her master directly.

Though, Gu Ningyue wasn’t sure about the truthfulness of it all.

As they were leaving, Kai Qi stood at the restaurant’s door, looked at Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou, and said, "I’ll follow up on what President Ling mentioned."

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled into a smile, "If so, thank you very much, Mr. Kai Qi."

It seemed Kai Qi wasn’t entirely self-important, at least he could discern priorities.

After exchanging farewells, Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou got into the car.

As Kai Qi’s figure gradually faded in the rearview mirror, Gu Ningyue fastened her seat belt and said, "I always thought Kai Qi did something to anger my master, but today it seems that even if nothing was truly wrong, Kai Qi’s relentless pursuit wouldn’t endear him to my master."

Ling Tianyou chuckled at her words, while fastening his seat belt, he said to Gu Ningyue, "Your master, what kind of person is she?"

Gu Ningyue tilted her head, contemplating for a while: "Beautiful. Free. Dispersed. Omnipotent. In my eyes, my master seems capable of everything."

After fastening his seat belt, Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "If that’s the case, why would your master join your organization?"

He had vaguely heard Gu Ningyue mention something about it before, so he knew a little.

But at that moment, he couldn’t quite fathom why Xia Yingbai would be part of such an organization.

Being so beautiful and capable, why choose a life that involves licking the dagger’s edge?

Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, then said, "My master seems to have some blood debts. I vaguely heard about it, but not in detail. Her family was wiped out, and after that, she joined the organization."

In fact, she didn’t need to say it, as Gu Ningyue could infer from her master’s behavior that she was once a noble lady.

It’s just fate played a trick, which turned her master into this.

Ling Tianyou was pleased with Gu Ningyue’s current honesty, hearing her words, he pursed his lips and said, "If you wish to help your master, perhaps I can lend a hand."

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, it’s all very complicated. If you get involved, it might drag the entire Ling family under. I appreciate your kindness."

Ling Tianyou had already done so much for her, Gu Ningyue didn’t want to put him at further risk.

Ling Tianyou turned to look at her, "Can I interpret this as you being worried about me?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Of course. After all, I wouldn’t want to be a widow so young."

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "You!"

Their drive continued to the villa, where Gu Ningyue quickly received a message from her master, "Miss Gu, have you returned?"

Gu Ningyue thought to herself, it’s truly a mutual understanding, as soon as I returned, my master sent a message.

"Yes." Gu Ningyue replied with a message, "Kai Qi tried to get information from me about you, but I didn’t reveal anything."

"Thank you." Xia Yingbai replied swiftly, "Let’s have a meal together when there’s a chance."

Gu Ningyue wouldn’t refuse an opportunity to meet her master, so she readily agreed.

A moment later, Gu Ningyue recalled Lin Ruixian who was still in the hospital, hesitated for two seconds, and sent another message, "Is Lin Ruixian’s injury better?"

Perhaps because Gu Ningyue had helped her, or maybe she was just available at the moment, Xia Yingbai responded quickly, "He’s recovering, don’t worry."

Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief; this answer was enough to ease her mind for the time being.

"Who are you chatting with?" Ling Tianyou suddenly appeared behind her and asked, seeing her focus on her phone.

Gu Ningyue quickly turned off the screen and put her phone away, "My master sent a message asking if I returned, I’ve already replied."

Ling Tianyou was silent for two seconds, then his lips curled into a faint smile, "That’s good. Is Lu Qingqing bringing Ji Qianqian over tomorrow morning?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes, unless something unexpected happens. By the way, when is Xiao Yun coming back? Tonight?"

"Yes, she should be back by eight." Ling Tianyou said looking at Gu Ningyue, "Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements for Xiao Yun, she’ll definitely come back safely."

Gu Ningyue responded with an "Mhm," "That’s good, she’s still so young. If something happened to her, we’d be to blame."

Ling Tianyou raised an eyebrow, "Do I seem like someone who raises failures? Rest assured, when Xiao Yun returns, she’ll be perfectly fine!"

On this point, Ling Tianyou was very confident.

His subordinates rarely if ever made mistakes!
