Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: The Little Girl in the Dream

As the syringe emptied its contents into the IV line, the doctor’s eyes flashed with a triumphant smile.

But the next second, his eyes bulged with disbelief, and he didn’t even manage to look back before collapsing like a robot that had lost all power.

The moment the doctor fell, the man behind him was revealed—handsome and with an underlying murderous intent.

Gong Chen wiped his hands, "Take him out."

Chen Jin stepped forward and effortlessly dragged the man away.

Afterwards, the room was enveloped in silence.

Gong Chen sat at the bedside, carefully peeling the tape off Lin Zhiyi’s hand. The needle underneath hadn’t penetrated the skin at all—it was just an eye-shielding technique.

He caressed her hand and stared at her pale, peaceful sleeping face, his profound eyes slightly restrained before he lowered his eyelids, shielding all emotions.

He just held her hand even tighter.

The silence lingered for a long while until his phone vibrated, prompting him to stand up and leave.

Gong Chen knocked and entered Li Huan’s office.

Li Huan was smoking, offering a bitter smile upon seeing his visitor.

"Sorry, if it weren’t for Li He, we wouldn’t have all these troubles. I’m already arranging for him to leave the country."

Gong Chen lit a cigarette and casually tossed the pack onto the windowsill, his voice indifferent, "Are you sure he’ll leave?"

Li Huan was taken aback, biting hard on his cigarette with a look of helplessness.

Li He was unwilling, he had even trashed his room today.

As an elder brother, however, he could not sit back and watch Li He be used by Song Wanqiu.

His face earnest with pleading, he said, "Third Young Master, one last time! Consider it a favor!"

The cigarette smoke twisted between them as Gong Chen glanced sideways, "One last time."

Hearing this, Li Huan heaved a deep sigh of relief.

He stubbed out his cigarette and handed over a piece of paper, "Take a look, do you recognize this?"

Gong Chen scanned the content on the paper—it was a series of numbers and text.

12252050, Red House.

"What does it mean?" Gong Chen asked, furrowing his brow.

"Lin Zhiyi repeated these words subconsciously. I called a friend, and it’s definitely some psychological hint from therapy, this sequence is the key to a Pandora’s box. As for how to use it, my friend, being a psychologist, wants to protect the patient, so he’s reluctant to reveal more."

"She has never undergone psychological therapy," Gong Chen stated with certainty.

"I checked, indeed she hasn’t. I thought you might know the meaning."

Li Huan placed the paper on the desk.

Gong Chen stared at the string of numbers and suddenly remembered that today Shen Yan had provided a recording marked with a time corresponding to last Christmas.

That means...

Gong Chen pulled out a pen from Li Huan’s pocket and made a division on the numbers.

Li Huan exclaimed in surprise, "December 25th, 20:50, the Red House! Christmas! Did something happen to her last Christmas?"

"Nothing," Gong Chen replied immediately.

"You could at least check," Li Huan said, perplexed.

"I know."

Gong Chen’s response was crisp.

Li Huan took a few seconds before it dawned on him.

"You’re a voyeur! When did you start...?"

"Mind your own business."

Gong Chen didn’t take Li Huan’s joke lightheartedly; his expression grew even darker.

"Li Huan, did your friend mention when this hint was formed?"

Li Huan nodded, "He did. Considering the occasional loss of control over her mind, it wouldn’t have been long, about a year or so, pretty much since last Christmas..."

"Huh? But that timeline doesn’t add up."

"Could it be this year? But it’s still over a month until this Christmas. Could she really have precognition?"

Li Huan looked towards Gong Chen, somewhat shocked.

"Don’t let a third person know about this, including Lin Zhiyi," Gong Chen said as he finished the last drag of his cigarette, looking down as he pinched it out, "Tonight, I’m sleeping in your office."

Li Huan sprang to his feet.

"No way! Your injuries have just healed, and since you’ve returned from Shan City you’ve barely rested; how can your body withstand it?"
