Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Am I a Child?
Gu Ningyue looked at the subtitles on the screen, paused, and pondered for a moment, "Do you know how long this woman stayed at the nursing home?"
Ling Tianyou replied, "She stayed for twenty days and then left, didn’t even collect her final paycheck."
Gu Ningyue touched her pale cheek, "Give me the name she recorded and the ID number she registered at the time! I’ll help you investigate."
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "The identities she left behind are fake. The person on the ID has been dead for a long time!"
Gu Ningyue suddenly remembered the person she had investigated before, who was also already deceased.
It seems there should be some connection between these two people.
Thinking this, Gu Ningyue stood up and said to Ling Tianyou, "It’s alright, I have a way, just give them to me!"
Although Ling Tianyou didn’t know what Gu Ningyue was planning to do, he sent the information his subordinates had previously gathered to Gu Ningyue’s phone.
Gu Ningyue looked at the information and said to Ling Tianyou, "Will you wait for me here for a while?"
Ling Tianyou said, "You’re going to investigate this person? Now?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes."
Ling Tianyou heard this and stood up as well, "Can I take a look?"
Gu Ningyue smiled lightly, "Of course you can."
Ling Tianyou, in rare spirits, teased her about Ling Tianze’s matters, "A master from the X website, don’t you fear I’ll steal your techniques?"
"If it were that easy for anyone to learn just by looking, then everyone could replace the ’Night Ripper’ on the X website, wouldn’t you say?"
Gu Ningyue turned around and went to her bedroom.
Ling Tianyou smiled and shook his head, the way this girl carries herself with such pride, it’s hard not to be captivated.
Gu Ningyue took Ling Tianyou to her room, swiftly opened her computer, and entered a website.
Looking at the pale pink screen, Ling Tianyou asked Gu Ningyue, "Is this the X website?"
Gu Ningyue replied, "Yes!"
Ling Tianyou was silent for a moment, "It’s a bit different from what I imagined."
Gu Ningyue asked, "What did you imagine the X website to be like?"
Ling Tianyou said, "It would be very dull and rigid, right!"
Gu Ningyue laughed, her fingers like dancing elves, swiftly typing a line of letters on the keyboard, "This is the person you’re looking for, aren’t they alive and well? Where are they dead?"
Before long, the person Ling Tianyou was searching for appeared in front of him, looking exactly like the photo his subordinates had given him.
"How can this be?" Ling Tianyou was bewildered, scarcely believing his eyes, "They have almost never been wrong before..."
Gu Ningyue turned to look at Ling Tianyou standing beside her, "Almost never wrong, doesn’t mean infallible. Plus, that little nurse dared to slip into your brother’s addiction rehab center, she must have fully prepared everything. How could you possibly catch her so easily?"
"But, matters of life and death, can they also be faked?" Ling Tianyou was somewhat confused.
Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "You see, you’re an outsider! Within our organization, such operations are quite common. Some people are alive while executing tasks, but once the mission is completed, they are effectively dead..."
Explaining this in detail is cumbersome, so Gu Ningyue only touched upon it briefly before dropping the subject.
"Jiang Yu Ying." Gu Ningyue looked at the screen and mouthed this name quietly, then turned to Ling Tianyou, "Has there been any trace of this person afterwards in city A?"
Ling Tianyou replied, "No, only tracked that she left city A overnight, took one of those unregistered cars, impossible to trace where she went."
This woman changed cars several times during her escape, leaving no clues for anyone to find.
Gu Ningyue sighed, "That’s going to be hard to trace, the name is too ordinary. It won’t be easy for just one person to track her down. Do you have any other clues to tell me?"
"All I know is that the woman’s accent seems a bit like she’s from city Y." Ling Tianyou shook his head regretfully, "Beyond that, there’s nothing else."
Gu Ningyue replied with an acknowledgment, then typed for a while on the computer, but still found no useful information.
Ling Tianyou watched for a while, "Let’s leave it for now, Ning Yue. You just woke up, so put this aside for now. I’ll call someone to investigate. As long as she’s alive, there’ll be clues!"
"That’s not necessarily true." Gu Ningyue looked at the information on the screen and said softly, "What I found is alive, but a few days later might not be the case!"
It was obviously orchestrated by someone, and if discovered, this woman might also face the risk of being killed and her body disposed of.
Ling Tianyou asked, "She’s already left city A, would those who orchestrate this still take such drastic measures, risk so much?"
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou with a smile reminiscent of complex emotions, "Seems like you don’t understand this world deeply enough!"
Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "You think those orchestrating her would kill her?"
"Otherwise?" Gu Ningyue pointed at the information on the screen and said to Ling Tianyou, "If they didn’t want her dead, why would all her past be erased?"
Being reminded by Gu Ningyue, Ling Tianyou then noticed that the page Gu Ningyue was currently on was different from others, almost all past traces were erased.
"This..."
Gu Ningyue closed the laptop and patted Ling Tianyou on the shoulder, "This society is perilous, better not to know too much, kid!"
"What did you say?" Ling Tianyou grabbed Gu Ningyue’s arm, "Are you sure I’m the kid?"
Gu Ningyue smiled gently, "Aren’t you?"
Even though Ling Tianyou is decisive in the business world, compared to what she has been through, Ling Tianyou still seems a bit naive.
"Are you sure?" Ling Tianyou curled his lips.
Looking into Ling Tianyou’s eyes, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but relent, "No, no, I was talking nonsense! Let’s go watch a movie!"
Ling Tianyou stood still, "Didn’t you say I was the kid?"
Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Then what do you want?"
Ling Tianyou suddenly leaned closer to Gu Ningyue, leaving a kiss on her lips before smiling, "That’s good, we can go now."
Gu Ningyue: "..."
Holding Gu Ningyue’s hand, as they returned to the room, Gu Ningyue leaned beside Ling Tianyou and said, "Aren’t you going to call your subordinates to investigate in city Y? Based on the final information, it’s very likely she’s going home."
"Of course, I will investigate." Ling Tianyou nodded, sending a message to his subordinates, then turned to Gu Ningyue, "Alright, let’s watch the movie properly!"
