Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Lin Zhiyi, Say Something Nice

Gong Chen released her and leaned against a rock in silence.

Time passed, unknown how long.

He adjusted his sitting posture, supporting his body with one bent leg, and spoke with a slightly softer voice, "Lin Zhiyi, what exactly should I do?"

Lin Zhiyi didn’t understand what he meant.

She turned her head, parting her lips slightly to speak, but before she could, the man’s head came crashing down.

Gong Chen’s forehead rested against Lin Zhiyi’s cheek, and she immediately sensed something was amiss.

The once robust body was now shivering with cold.

In the darkness, Lin Zhiyi felt around, moving closer to examine his wound.

The cloth that had been bandaging the wound was long soaked with fresh blood.

She could only tear off another piece of her sleeve to continue tightening around his wound.

But this did not seem to bring Gong Chen any relief; on the contrary, his complexion grew even worse.

He clenched his fists, veins on his neck bulging, his face pale as paper, his hair damp and clinging to his temples.

Cold sweat rolled down, his eyes hazy and clouded, exuding an indescribable allure.

"Uncle?"

"..."

Gong Chen did not respond, his body tense as if fighting against something.

Lin Zhiyi saw it all, feeling heavy-hearted.

Gong Chen didn’t have to come, but he had.

Her gaze intensified, she undid the buttons of Gong Chen’s shirt and hesitated for a moment before pressing herself against him.

Gong Chen’s body jolted slightly, and his hand, clenched in a fist, encircled Lin Zhiyi.

His deep-set eyes focused steadily on the person in his arms, becoming darker still, yet not with desire.

"Don’t be afraid," his voice was hoarse, revealing emotions he had never shown before.

"Mhm."

Lin Zhiyi responded softly.

She gripped the locator on her clothes tightly, hoping Liu He would contact someone to rescue them soon.

Lost in a daze, mechanical sounds approached from outside.

She instinctively reached for her clothing but found that Gong Chen had already neatly done up her clothes.

"Zhiyi! Zhiyi!"

It was actually Liu He’s voice.

That woman, who always kept herself so pristine, had actually come here.

A warmth spread through Lin Zhiyi’s heart, but her consciousness started to drift away.

...

When she woke again, Lin Zhiyi was lying on a hospital bed.

As she opened her eyes, Liu He’s anxious face was the first thing she saw, nearly making her close her eyes again.

"Mom..." she started dryly.

Liu He gave her a gentle push, "Next time you have a death wish, don’t put that locator alarm on my phone! I don’t want to die of a heart attack from the scare!"

While she complained, she turned to pour a cup of warm water when she heard Lin Zhiyi’s throat was dry.

After drinking half a cup of water, Lin Zhiyi finally felt revived.

She anxiously asked, "Mom, the conversation I had with those two men should have been recorded and sent to your phone, where’s the recording?"

Liu He sighed, "I gave it to your uncle. After all, it’s related to the Gong Family, he will handle it properly."

Lin Zhiyi nodded.

Just then, Liu He tugged at her sleeve, pointing at the wall-mounted internet TV.

"Look."

Lin Zhiyi turned to look, and to her surprise, the screen was showing the arrest of Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle.

"They got caught?"

Liu He began peeling an apple with a fruit knife. "The families of the mining accident victims took evidence of their bribes to the Liu Family and the attempted murder to the police, then brought it online, and even collectively hired a top domestic lawyer. They couldn’t withstand this series of attacks."
