Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 531: Are You the Night Ripper?

Ling Tianyou had already handed over his entertainment company to his subordinates to manage, and now his main focus was on Lin Cheng’s entertainment company. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

For this reason, he had also invested quite a bit into it.

Although he wasn’t in the industry, he knew quite a lot about what was going on inside.

"They say it’s about talent, but mostly it’s about whose backing is more powerful! As long as you have enough money, even if you’re mediocre, as long as you’re good-looking, you can still gain traffic," Ling Tianyou said, looking at the bustling traffic ahead. "Someone like you is already considered above average. Besides... with me backing you up, even if you’re not an A-list celebrity, within five years, you’ll still have a place in this industry."

Ling Tianyou spoke with such conviction that Gu Ningyue found herself somewhat moved.

It seemed that with her current capabilities, coupled with the backing of someone like Ling Tianyou, she would soon be making strides in Hollywood.

But soon, Gu Ningyue shook her head and said to Ling Tianyou, "Forget it! Someone greedy and lustful like me can’t stand the corruption of this industry. Besides... Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with some handsome guy?"

How could anyone with stable television exposure and traffic be ugly?

At least, from what Gu Ningyue had seen on TV, there were no ugly ones.

Although Ling Tianyou had an astonishingly handsome face, how could it be that every man was lesser than Ling Tianyou?

"Afraid? Heh..." Ling Tianyou let out a light laugh. "Anyone coveting my woman should be the one who’s afraid."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes, yes, who’s daring enough to provoke Master Ling! You’re a famous figure in City A. Hmph!"

Ling Tianyou turned his head to glance at her, "What, feeling jealous because you’re not as famous as I am?"

"Not at all, I’m not that childish!" Gu Ningyue said, though her head turned to the side. "Besides, I’m a big shot on X website too! If you ask G, he’d have to kneel just to listen when he hears the name ’Night Ripper’!"

Gu Ningyue was indeed very confident about this.

Ling Tianyou was stunned, slowing down the car. "What did you say? You’re... the ’Night Ripper’ that G talked about?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t intend to hide it from him, so she nodded happily upon hearing his question. "Yes! Surprised, aren’t you?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t expect Gu Ningyue to admit it so readily. After a few seconds of silence, he said slowly, "No wonder G said your phone’s system was impenetrable; he wasn’t your match at all. Looks like G should meet his idol when we get the chance!"

Gu Ningyue quickly waved her hands upon hearing this, "No, no, no, I don’t want to reveal my identity yet. Besides, Kai Qi’s skills are much superior to mine, G should learn more from Kai Qi! You might find him useful in the future!"

"But G says, on X website, if you claim to be the second biggest, no one dares to claim to be first," Ling Tianyou said leisurely. "Your reputation is indeed quite impressive."

Gu Ningyue coughed twice, "Cough cough, I would love to agree, but Kai Qi is much more impressive than I am. The reason people say that is because Kai Qi never used X website. If he did, I’d only be in third place."

Ling Tianyou was a bit surprised, "Then who’s second?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Of course, it’s my mentor! Silly!"

Ling Tianyou: "..." Alright, this little girl actually called him silly! Just wait, he was one to hold grudges!

The car continued towards the villa, and Gu Ningyue looked at a cake shop by the roadside, "Wait, let’s buy a few pieces of cake for Qianqian to take back! It’s been nearly two hours, she should be awake by now!"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Alright."

After finding a parking spot and stopping the car, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "You don’t seem to like sweets?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "I loved them when I was a child, but not anymore as I’ve gotten older."

Gu Ningyue asked, "Why?"

"Perhaps as you grow up, there are some kinds of bitterness that these things can no longer cover," Ling Tianyou smiled and unbuttoned his seatbelt to get out of the car.

Gu Ningyue also unbuttoned her seatbelt and got out of the car, feeling for a moment just now that Ling Tianyou might have his own burdens and wasn’t as carefree and high-flying as he appeared.

But who in this life is truly free of worries?

Even her mentor and senior leaders weren’t living as freely as one might think.

Compared to them, Ling Tianyou might one day realize how incredibly fortunate he already was.

"Two pieces of red velvet, and one black forest. This one looks pretty good too? Make it four pieces!" Gu Ningyue looked at the dazzling array of cakes and turned to Ling Tianyou, "Do you want a piece too? You probably don’t get many chances to eat in the office, right?"

After all, someone like Ling Tianyou suddenly ordering a strawberry cake would seem quite shocking!

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No, thanks!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, thinking he was just saving face—surely he wanted to eat it!

"Let’s take a piece of this too!" Gu Ningyue pointed to another cake and said.

The cake shop owner nodded and smiled warmly, "Would you like it packaged as takeaway?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, and the cake shop owner instructed a server to package them. Then he looked at Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou and said, "Hello, both of you, with a purchase over 200, you get a special gift. It takes five minutes to make freshly. Would you like to wait? If you’re in a hurry, you can choose any cake from the store to take away with you."

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a couple of seconds and said, "Let’s wait!"

Since there’s nothing much to do, they might as well see what special gift the owner would offer.

The cake shop owner nodded and turned to enter the kitchen, and soon the server brought the packaged cakes to Gu Ningyue. "Hello, the total is 360."

Before Gu Ningyue could take out her card, Ling Tianyou had already pulled out four bills from his wallet and handed them over.

The server gave the change, and just as Ling Tianyou put it away, the owner came out from the kitchen with something resembling two ice cream cones.

"Hello, these are your gifts."

Gu Ningyue looked at them with curiosity, "What are these?"

The cake shop owner didn’t speak, but the server eagerly explained, "This is our owner’s unique creation, absolutely one of a kind in the whole of City A. It uses imported cream, with ice cream hidden inside, and inside the ice cream there’s chocolate writing. Hehe, it’s delicious!"

"So unique, we’ll definitely have to try them," Gu Ningyue said, giving Ling Tianyou’s arm a squeeze. "Right?"

Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Hmm, alright, let’s go. Qianqian is waiting for you at home!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, bid farewell to the cake shop owner, and left with Ling Tianyou.
