Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 518: A Bit Ashamed

Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, turned and walked into the room where Xiao Yun was, leaving Ling Tianyou to talk with the doctor.

On the hospital bed, Xiao Yun had just woken up, still with confusion in her eyes.

It wasn’t until Gu Ningyue appeared that she snapped back to reality, struggling to sit up: "Young Madam..."

Gu Ningyue quickly went to the bedside and held her down: "Lie down properly, you’re still on an IV!"

Xiao Yun slowly lay down again, looked at Gu Ningyue sitting beside her, and a hint of apology appeared on her face: "Sorry, Young Madam, I... was exposed..."

Gu Ningyue reached out to touch her messy hair, moving the bangs that covered her eyes to one side: "You’ve done very well, leave the rest to me!"

Although Xiao Yun was quite skilled, she was ultimately just a girl who had not graduated long ago!

No matter how well theories are taught in school, one must practice to see true knowledge!

"Young Madam, do you and President Ling truly not blame me?" Xiao Yun looked at Gu Ningyue and asked.

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Of course not, you have provided us with much of what we wanted, why worry? Just focus on recovering, don’t think about anything else."

Just then, Ling Tianyou came in from the doorway: "Awake?"

Xiao Yun tried to get up again, but seeing Gu Ningyue’s gaze, she could only command herself to stay lying down.

"Yes, President Ling."

The door to the room was closed casually, and Ling Tianyou pulled over a chair and sat by the bed: "Someone’s gone to get food, are you hungry?"

Xiao Yun was about to say she wasn’t hungry, but her stomach grumbled twice.

Not long after, a man in a black suit delivered the food, and after Gu Ningyue opened each box, she turned to Ling Tianyou: "No portion for me?"

Heaven knows she’s been hungry since the afternoon, just counting on this dinner.

Ling Tianyou smiled, pretending to ask innocently: "My portion isn’t here either, just Xiao Yun’s."

Xiao Yun quickly said: "It’s okay, Young Madam, I can’t eat this much."

Gu Ningyue sighed, "It’s alright, I’m not that hungry."

Speaking, Gu Ningyue helped Xiao Yun sit up, scooped a spoonful of porridge to Xiao Yun’s mouth.

Xiao Yun was caught off guard: "Young Madam, I can do it myself! I’m fine."

Gu Ningyue’s expression suddenly became solemn: "Fine? Half your arm nearly ruined and you’re fine? Eat up!"

Xiao Yun, intimidated by Gu Ningyue, obediently took a bite.

Ling Tianyou watched from the side, unable to refrain from showing a hint of a smile.

Looks like this assassin he favored wasn’t so cold-blooded after all!

After eating mostly, Gu Ningyue finally looked at Xiao Yun and asked: "What exactly happened at that time? How did you end up tied to a chair?"

Xiao Yun, who had just calmed down a bit, shivered upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s questions.

In the past few hours, she endured unspeakable suffering: "My call with you, Young Madam, was discovered, but I said nothing. You can be assured, they can’t trace anything!"

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Even if they trace, they won’t find a name behind the number."

"Why did they put explosives in every room?" Ling Tianyou asked Xiao Yun: "Do you know whose idea it was?"

Xiao Yun shook her head: "I’m not sure, they kept me in that room, and I have no idea what happened afterwards..."

At that time, she was already in so much pain that she lost consciousness.

"In recent days, has anyone unfamiliar visited Jin Chenglong’s home?" Ling Tianyou asked again.

Xiao Yun thought for a moment: "No, it’s just been these few people."

Gu Ningyue lowered her head and murmured softly: "Could I have heard wrong?"

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now!" Ling Tianyou stood up, looked at Xiao Yun on the bed and said: "Take a good rest these days, I’ll have someone deposit the agreed bonus into your account."

She completed the task he assigned to her after all, and such a small sum was nothing to Ling Tianyou.

But Xiao Yun was somewhat ashamed: "President Ling, I..."

Before she finished, Gu Ningyue interrupted her: "Okay, you rest well first, we’ll talk about the rest when you’ve healed!"

Xiao Yun dared not say more, watching Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou leave the hospital room side by side, she felt a bit uneasy.

Her first time on a mission, and it ended like this, was she really that incompetent?

As night fell, the emotions in Xiao Yun’s eyes grew even deeper than the darkness outside...

Outside the hospital, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "Let’s go home, Aunt Zhang should still be able to make us something delicious at this hour!"

Ling Tianyou smiled: "Not going home."

"Where are we going if not home?" Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "It’s nearly ten thirty."

The most important thing was, with the clothes she had been burned with holes, could she really go inside?

Even if she washed her hair and face clean at the hospital, the scent had mostly dissipated on the way, she still looked somewhat like a beggar.

Ling Tianyou took Gu Ningyue’s hand, heading towards his car: "I know a Sichuan restaurant that’s open until two, we still have time to go now."

"What about my clothes?" Gu Ningyue pointed to the holes burned in her sleeves: "Going there like this isn’t very pleasant."

Ling Tianyou said calmly: "The owner there is an old friend of mine, many years ago, it’s fine, let’s go!"

Gu Ningyue was somewhat incredulous: "Really?"

Ling Tianyou laughed faintly: "Why would I deceive you? Get in the car."

Seated in the car, it took merely over ten minutes for them to stand in front of the Sichuan restaurant.

Though it was late, the place was still bustling with people.

Gu Ningyue glanced at her clothes, "You sure I can go in looking like this?"

Ling Tianyou did not respond but took Gu Ningyue’s hand and walked into the restaurant.

Upon entering, a waiter approached, visibly surprised when seeing Gu Ningyue: "Hello, how many?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ling Tianyou pulled a card from his wallet, "Two."

The waiter glanced at the card’s writing, quickly presenting a warm and enthusiastic smile: "Your private room upstairs, please."

With that, the waiter called out to the staff upstairs, "Upstairs VIP room for two!"

Leading Gu Ningyue by the hand, Ling Tianyou went upstairs; Gu Ningyue brushed off the whispers from behind and quietly asked Ling Tianyou: "What’s that card?"

"A lifetime free VIP card." Ling Tianyou said calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter: "Never used it, today is the first time here."

Gu Ningyue fell silent, estimating... dining here wouldn’t be cheap with such lavish decor!
