Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 472: A Mix of Emotions

At this moment, Gu Ningyue lay on the sofa in the living room, pondering the words she had said during breakfast.

"It’s not difficult to make a move against Jin Chenglong, the key is how to do it without anyone noticing."

"If you want to handle this yourself, I won’t oppose it, but I don’t recommend it either. The risks are high. Jin Chenglong has lost his position and constraints, making many things simpler than before."

"Ning Yue, don’t rush this matter too much. The simpler it looks, the more complex the hidden threads!"

Gu Ningyue sighed. These words echoed around her like an alarm bell, yet her mind couldn’t find peace.

Xiao Yun was still staying at that small motel, implementing her plan step by step. At this rate, it would take at least four or five days before she could apply for a job at Jin Chenglong’s house.

And Lin Ruixian’s side, who knows how things were going?

Lu Qingqing’s people followed him to U Country, how was he doing now, was he severely injured?

Last night she wanted to ask Lu Qingqing, but she hesitated for a long time without speaking up.

If she asked, the atmosphere would likely turn icy cold immediately.

She thought a night’s sleep would make her feel better, but even after waking from a dream this morning, she couldn’t shake the worry.

Even though Lu Qingqing mentioned that her people confirmed Lin Ruixian was lifted into an ambulance, her concern remained.

Holding her mobile phone, Gu Ningyue thought, "Forget it, I’ll send Lu Qingqing a message to check in, so I can feel at ease!"

Constantly on edge, who could endure it!

With this in mind, Gu Ningyue opened the chat with Lu Qingqing and typed a line of text, then tossed the phone aside to wait for a reply.

She wasn’t afraid Lu Qingqing would misunderstand her concern for Lin Ruixian; everything necessary had been said yesterday, and she trusted Lu Qingqing wouldn’t overthink it.

"Ding dong—"

Lu Qingqing replied!

Gu Ningyue immediately unlocked the screen, and couldn’t help but smile slightly at the message from Lu Qingqing.

Thank goodness, he was still alive.

"Ding dong—"

Lu Qingqing: "But my people reported back that not long after they left, someone entered Lin Ruixian’s house again, adding six more stabs to his already injured body before leaving. Lin Ruixian survived purely by luck. Hehe..."

Seeing Lu Qingqing’s message, Gu Ningyue’s heart, which had just calmed, was once again on edge.

Who, who wanted Lin Ruixian’s life?

Besides Lu Qingqing, who else was secretly watching Lin Ruixian?

Could it be members of the Heimu Organization?

Thinking it over, Gu Ningyue could only come up with this possibility.

Now, she wasn’t in U Country, and Lin Ruixian didn’t have a mobile phone. The fact that Lu Qingqing told her this was an unexpected relief; asking her to check on Lin Ruixian would be wishful thinking.

If she really agreed, it would be fortunate if she didn’t unplug Lin Ruixian’s oxygen tube!

Scrolling through her contact list, Gu Ningyue’s eyes suddenly lit up; right, there was her master!

Her master must have acquaintances in U Country. If she could visit Lin Ruixian, it would put her slightly at ease!

With that thought, Gu Ningyue immediately dialed her master’s number.

The phone rang for an unknown time before someone finally answered: "Hello, Miss Gu."

A gentle yet distant voice, though it pained Gu Ningyue slightly, Lin Ruixian’s matter was more urgent: "Hello, Teacher Xia, I wonder if you know anyone in U Country besides Lin Ruixian? I heard Lin Ruixian had an accident, and I’m worried."

The person on the other side seemed surprised; "How does Miss Gu know Lin Ruixian is in trouble?"

Gu Ningyue returned to the country with her. Her organization informed her about Lin Ruixian; where did Gu Ningyue learn this?

Gu Ningyue paused before responding, "I’ll explain that to Teacher Xia later, if that’s alright? I’m quite worried about Lin Ruixian right now."

Xia Yingbai was silent for two seconds before saying, "Lin Ruixian is seriously injured and won’t be able to return to Z Country for a while. I’ve already asked a friend to look after him; you don’t have to worry too much, his life is not in danger for now."

Gu Ningyue’s heart filled with layers of guilt, and after a pause, she said to Xia Yingbai, "That’s good. Could Teacher Xia pass along a couple of messages for me?"

"Mm. Go ahead."

"I’ve already begun dealing with matters here, and Lin Ruixian doesn’t need to worry about Lu Qingqing’s side; I’ve negotiated with her, and she won’t trouble him anymore." Gu Ningyue sniffled, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in her heart: "Tell him to focus on recovering and that I’ll visit him in U Country once matters here are settled."

This incident was caused by her. If it hadn’t been for her, Lin Ruixian wouldn’t have gotten hurt time and again.

This time was even more serious; it nearly cost his life.

I did not strike Boren, yet Boren died because of me. Gu Ningyue felt that she might take a long, long time to repay what she owed Lin Ruixian... "Okay, I’ll pass on the messages," Xia Yingbai said, "Does Miss Gu have anything else? I have to start teaching now."

Xia Yingbai’s voice showed no emotion, as if Lin Ruixian’s life or death were trivial matters.

But Gu Ningyue was used to it. Her master had long since set aside her own life and death, let alone others’.

Lin Ruixian was merely someone who had left the organization long ago!

Hearing Xia Yingbai was busy, Gu Ningyue hurriedly said to her master: "No, sorry to bother you, Teacher Xia, you get on with your work! I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free."

Xia Yingbai gave a faint smile and didn’t say much more, only saying ’goodbye’ before decisively hanging up.

Gu Ningyue slowly sat up from the sofa, looking at the call log on her phone, her heart a mess of emotions.

It’s all her fault; if only she had approached Lu Qingqing as soon as she returned to the country, perhaps there would have been room for maneuver.

Now, Lin Ruixian had lost half his life. If she couldn’t complete Shangguan Wuyue’s terms, how much more injury would Lin Ruixian suffer in the future?

Just from the message Lu Qingqing sent, even through the screen, Gu Ningyue could feel the resentment.

This wasn’t what Gu Ningyue wanted to see. The thought of Lin Ruixian having to hide in the future made her heart feel as if gripped by an iron hand, causing extreme discomfort.

Lin Ruixian, Lin Ruixian, how long will it take to repay what I owe you? Sigh...
