Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 448: No Way to Answer

Cheng Jiaojiao hung up with Shi Qiao’an and looked at the bright red "Surgery" sign not far away, feeling worried.

There won’t be any issues, right? There shouldn’t be any issues, right?

With Shangguan Wuyue’s medicine keeping him alive, he won’t just cool off here... right!

After waiting anxiously outside for an unknown amount of time, the light on the operating room finally went off.

The first doctor to come out was suddenly grabbed by a beautiful, anxious woman: "Doctor, is he alright?"

As soon as the words left her lips, she realized she had spoken in Z country language in her urgency, but fortunately, in this situation, the words the relatives say are all quite similar. The doctor looked at Cheng Jiaojiao and said, "He is out of danger, but due to excessive blood loss, he is still in a coma. Had he arrived any later, he wouldn’t have been saved."

Cheng Jiaojiao helped with the hospital admission procedures and then informed Shi Qiao’an of Lin Ruixian’s situation: "He has no friends here. Just leaving him to return home feels a bit inappropriate."

If it weren’t because of herself, Lin Ruixian probably wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Watching Lin Ruixian, who was still receiving a blood transfusion and in a coma, Cheng Jiaojiao felt very guilty.

Shi Qiao’an didn’t say much, only told her to take care of herself. The organization would quickly send someone to handle the matter.

Meanwhile, Gu Ningyue, who had been watching the computer in the villa, was filled with a heavy sense of unease, as if something bad was happening, prompting her to review Jin Chenglong’s information again.

"How could it be like this?" Gu Ningyue took a deep breath, murmuring while holding her chest: "Could it be that something happened to Ling Tianyou?"

Could Mr. Chen be a threat to Ling Tianyou? Probably not! She’s just an orphan girl with secrets at hand. Mr. Chen can bully her all he wants.

But Ling Tianyou is from a big family. No matter how much status Mr. Chen has, he wouldn’t touch Ling Tianyou.

"Forget it, better to ask Ling Tianyou first!"

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue sent a message to Ling Tianyou: "What are you doing? Have you reached Mr. Chen’s place yet?"

Ling Tianyou, who was attending a tea-tasting banquet, couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised when he saw the sudden message.

Just as he was about to pick up the phone to reply, a voice sounded beside him: "Why has President Ling been so quiet since he arrived? Could it be that he looks down on us old men?"

The hand holding the phone involuntarily put it down, Ling Tianyou said expressionlessly: "Mr. Chen’s tea is so refreshing, Ling is simply engrossed in the tasting!"

The person glanced at his phone, smiled meaningfully, and then said nothing more.

"Speaking of which, my son has been talking a lot about your younger brother recently! He says it’s been a long time since they played golf together. What’s your brother been up to recently?" another person suddenly said.

Upon hearing "golf," Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but frown slightly: "Recently, our parents’ health hasn’t been good, so Tianze is staying home to take care of the elders and hasn’t been going out much."

The person nodded but said, "Is that so? But I heard it was Tianze who was sick?"

This remark was loaded with meaning, and the others present were a bit curious, all eyes turned towards him.

Though Ling Tianyou knew this couldn’t remain hidden forever, he couldn’t let Ling Tianze’s reputation be ruined like that.

He made up some excuse to gloss over the situation, but the whispers remained in Ling Tianyou’s heart.

Even when the tea-tasting banquet ended, Ling Tianyou’s mood was not good.

Fortunately, having been in the business world for a long time, no matter how uncomfortable he was inside, he wouldn’t show it on his face.

Mr. Chen made the final remarks and then instructed the household staff to see everyone off.

Ling Tianyou deliberately watched as everyone left, then stood up and called out to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen stood up, looked at Ling Tianyou, who hadn’t moved, and asked with a smile: "Why hasn’t President Ling gone back yet?"

"Mr. Chen, I came over today to hear Mr. Chen’s thoughts on some matters." Ling Tianyou slowly said, "I wonder if Mr. Chen has time now? Could Ling have a private chat with you?"

Mr. Chen looked him up and down, thought for a moment, and told the servant beside him: "Take President Ling to the inner room."

The servant acknowledged and then looked at Ling Tianyou: "President Ling, this way, please."

Ling Tianyou followed the servant to the inner room. Before long, Mr. Chen changed out of his previous robe and came into the room wearing a traditional elderly man’s shirt, smiled at Ling Tianyou who was about to stand up and said: "President Ling, please sit! No need to be so formal."

Ling Tianyou acknowledged and sat back down on the chair.

The servant filled both their cups with tea and then pulled the door closed as he retreated.

"Tell me, what brings President Ling to seek out this old man?"

Ling Tianyou hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Mr. Chen and said: "I came today to ask about Gu Ningyue. Mr. Chen, what do you know about her?"

Gu Ningyue said Mr. Chen was the first to discover she wasn’t the original Gu. He recalled Gu Ningyue’s expression when she first met Mr. Chen.

Gu Ningyue was in a cold sweat, while Mr. Chen had a meaningful look on his face.

Back then, he just thought Gu Ningyue was uncomfortable with her first encounter at such a meeting.

It wasn’t until Gu Ningyue laid everything out plainly that the past seemed so unusual in retrospect.

Mr. Chen blew over the teacup, the aroma of tea refreshing: "Miss Gu, you mean? Gu Zheng’s daughter, President Ling’s fiancée. That’s about it. If I had to say anything more, it’s just that this child is rather cute and quite capable."

Under that old thing’s surveillance, persisting until now is already quite an achievement.

Just not sure, how much longer can Gu Ningyue hold on?

The life-protecting amulet he gave her, how long can it shield her?

Ling Tianyou looked at Mr. Chen: "No, it’s not just that. Mr. Chen, you must know something more. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have let me come here today, right?"

Originally, he shouldn’t have been at this tea-tasting banquet. The Ling Family has always stood at the pinnacle of Yunfeng, with nearly everyone both fawning over and waiting for their downfall.

Especially these older family heads, who don’t particularly like seeing someone so young and capable like Ling Tianyou taking over.

This gathering of people, for Ling Tianyou, was somewhat uncomfortable.

Mr. Chen said mildly: "President Ling, that’s not correct. If President Ling wishes to see this old man, would this old man have any reason to refuse?"

Ling Tianyou was slightly taken aback: "Mr. Chen, you must know something. As long as Mr. Chen is willing to tell me, I will reciprocate with all my might."

Mr. Chen seemed not to have expected Ling Tianyou to say this, and suddenly a trace of a smile appeared on his lips: "President Ling’s words are strange. Miss Gu is your fiancée, and this old man has only met Miss Gu a few times. What can I possibly offer in response to President Ling’s inquiry?"
