The next morning, Gu Ningyue was woken up by the alarm clock.
Outside, the sky was overcast, and the window had been blown open by the wind at so point. A slightly damp breeze drifted in, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Getting up to close the window, Gu Ningyue looked at the increasingly heavy clouds in the sky, and her originally good mood turned a bit somber.
"Looks like things won’t go too smoothly today!"
Picking up the clothes she planned to wear, she went into the bathroom. While applying dicine, Gu Ningyue suddenly rembered that she needed to go for a check-up.
With so much going on, she had even forgotten about that.
After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to find Ling Tianyou already sitting at the table having breakfast.
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
Aunt Zhang carried over freshly cooked white rice porridge, her smile seemingly unaffected by the weather, still as warm as ever: "Good morning, Young Madam."
Gu Ningyue nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Ling Tianyou: "If we have enough ti, shall we go to the hospital for a check-up after we return from the detention center? It’s ti for the follow-up!"
Ling Tianyou was taken aback: "It’s that ti already?"
Gu Ningyue answered, "Yes, but going a day early is fine."
She was eting Nan Shaoyue in the afternoon, and it was beneficial for her to know the condition of her injuries in advance.
After a simple breakfast, Gu Ningyue left the house with Ling Tianyou.
On the way, Ling Tianyou played a soft instruntal piece, which alleviated so of the negative influence brought on by the weather.
Gu Ningyue sat quietly in the passenger seat, reading a ssage from Lin Ruixian on her phone, "When are you coming to U country? Your master seems to be moving to another city!"
Gu Ningyue frowned slightly as she read the ssage: "I have so things on my hands. If I’m not injured, there’s a slight hope of coming over the day after tomorrow."
She had no idea what was happening with Nan Shaoyue’s side, so she dared not make any promises to Lin Ruixian.
"What, are you going to get into another fight?" Lin Ruixian was surprised and sent two consecutive ssages: "Your life certainly seems more fulfilling than when you were in the organization!"
Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes; what could she do? Wasn’t this a result of her past mistakes?
"Let’s talk later! I’m a bit busy right now and will respond to you later."
Far away, Lin Ruixian saw this ssage pop up on his phone and couldn’t help but curl his lips. What, was he just a tool to her?
"What, got dumped?"
A woman’s voice ca from behind, and Lin Ruixian turned around, his expression returning to its usual carefree look: "I don’t even have a girlfriend, who could dump ? I wish, though, unfortunately."
"Well, why don’t you give it a shot with ?"
Looking at the beautiful and enticing woman in front of him, Lin Ruixian didn’t hesitate before directly refusing: "I wouldn’t dare let Shi Qiao’an’s woman be my girlfriend. If he found out, wouldn’t he have soone chop to pieces?"
As a master forger in the organization, besides so brand-na jewelry, Shi Qiao’an also helps so of the organization’s assassins develop special weapons.
He held a very important position in the organization. If he knew Lin Ruixian coveted the woman in front of him, wouldn’t that cause trouble for himself?
Moreover, the person in his heart had never changed.
The woman’s face showed so displeasure at Lin Ruixian’s rejection, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a question: "By the way, when are you going back to the organization? The big boss has been expressing regret after you left!"
Lin Ruixian shook his head, his refusal even firr than before: "I’m not planning to return. From the mont I left, I never had that thought again."
A good horse doesn’t turn back to graze on backward grass, let alone the fact that he had worked hard to leave the organization and lead an ordinary life. How could he go back to that way of life?
Although it didn’t affect him too much, the Lin Family was no longer what it used to be. If he made enemies and brought trouble to his family, wouldn’t he regret it for the rest of his life?
"What a pity." The woman swirled her wine glass: "Not long after you left, Gu Weiwei also died; you’ve probably seen the news in the papers! There are fewer and fewer useful people in the organization."
"You wouldn’t believe how the big boss mourned losing both of you at once, almost never giving the people below him any good face!"
Lin Ruixian laughed: "New people will always co in, and after retraining, they’ll surely be better than us."
The woman looked Lin Ruixian up and down: "Gu Weiwei’s death doesn’t seem to sadden you at all. I rember you seed to have sothing special with her, didn’t you?"
Lin Ruixian paused for a mont, then calmly said: "People die. With ti, I’ve co to terms with it."
Though this was a bit of a lie, it was better than telling the woman that Gu Weiwei hadn’t died, she had rely assud another identity.
If he really said that, he’d probably be thought of as insane.
"Tsk!" The woman sneered: "Indeed, that’s n for you. I bet if I were gone, that heartless Qiao’an would forget about just as quickly and then go out gallivanting!"
Lin Ruixian smiled lightly: "He wouldn’t. Shi Qiao’an loves you so much he’d stick by your side every day if he could. How could he go gallivanting after your death?"
"He’d wait at least a year or two!"
"Whack!" A pillow flew from the sofa, hitting Lin Ruixian squarely.
Lin Ruixian wasn’t mad, laughing as he picked up the pillow and placed it back, sitting next to the woman: "By the way, how did you get out this ti? Shi Qiao’an actually let you co to U country alone?"
The woman hesitated for two seconds, then selectively shared, "There was a task, to find soone, but Qiao’an got tied up with sothing, so he let co!"
Lin Ruixian nodded, understanding the organization’s work rules. Sharing even this much was a courtesy extended because of his previous mbership: "I see! How long are you staying in U country? I might not be able to assist much since I’ll have friends visiting soon."
The woman smiled: "No worries, you do what you need to. As long as I find that person, just help ask them sothing."
"No problem!" Lin Ruixian said, looking at the woman: "Who knows, I might have sothing to ask you and Shi Qiao’an when I head back to Z country. We’re sort of partners, aren’t we?"
The woman replied coolly: "A temporary partnership, as long as... the organization doesn’t find out."
In a sense, the organization prohibits its mbers from having work-related interactions with regular people without permission.
But with the severe personnel loss in recent years, as long as things aren’t made public or go overboard, the big boss usually wouldn’t pursue it.
