Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Perish Together or Die for Love?

On the other side, Li Huan carefully helped Gong Chenqing clean his wound.

"It’s nothing serious."

Gong Chen let out a grunt and lit a cigarette.

After a moment of silence, Li Huan gave a bitter smile. "You guessed that he would go find Song Wanqiu, right?"

"Mm."

A light mist of smoke added a touch of gloom to the office.

Li Huan sighed, "I’m sorry. I have no face to beg you for mercy anymore, I’ve talked to my mother about this, and she just feels sorry for you, for not being able to discipline Li He properly."

Gong Chen flicked the cigarette ash. "No need to say anymore. Apologize to me when the person is brought back."

Li Huan paused, realizing from Gong Chen’s words that Li He still had a chance to return alive. He couldn’t push further.

But there was something that puzzled him.

"Your wedding, with guards inside and out, how did Li He manage to rush in on a motorcycle? Did you do that on purpose?"

Gong Chen lifted his gaze, his deep eyes said it all.

"Is there any evidence more direct than the bride eloping with someone in public?"

"You... are ruthless. You even included yourself," Li Huan admired with his hands clasped, thinking for a few seconds before feeling something was off. "If you still want to bring the person back, why let them run away?"

Gong Chen exhaled a plume of white smoke, narrowing his eyes. "Do you remember the last time at the bar?"

"The time Lin Zhiyi was there too? What about it? Wasn’t everything arranged properly?" Li Huan retorted.

The bar was a joint venture opened with Li He, where Li Huan invested the larger share.

He didn’t visit much though, and the office had become Li He’s private rest area.

"I encountered Song Wanqiu on my way to your office. She was clearly waiting there for me. If no one had tipped her off, how could she have escaped so quickly?"

"You mean, besides us, there was someone else secretly helping Song Wanqiu?" Li Huan exclaimed.

"Now that Song Wanqiu is desperate, she will definitely seek out that person."

"Who could it be?"

Li Huan’s expression darkened slightly; he couldn’t say he wasn’t worried about Li He.

But Li He was no longer a child. He should bear the consequences of his actions.

Gong Chen did not answer him, just coldly smoked, with a surge of emotion in his eyes.

Li Huan didn’t ask further, changing the subject. "Then how did you know Shen Yan had evidence of Song Wanqiu impersonating?"

Gong Chen paused in his smoking, staring into Li Huan’s eyes. "If I said a little girl in my dreams reminded me, would you believe it?"

Li Huan was at a loss for words, since he too had dreamt about that little girl.

As he was speaking, the office door suddenly opened, and Lin Zhiyi walked in.

Seeing Gong Chen with a concussion and still smoking, she frowned, stepped forward, and took the cigarette from his hand, crushing it forcefully.

"Uncle, you should be resting with a concussion, not stimulating yourself!"

Gong Chen paused a moment, his fingers still positioned as if holding a cigarette, his expression inscrutable as he glanced at Lin Zhiyi, exhaling the last puff of smoke, veiling the fervor in his eyes.

"Concussion? How did I..."

Li Huan, who clearly hadn’t caught up yet, began to speak but was shamelessly interrupted by someone.

"Mm." The man nodded. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Li Huan shut his mouth, almost too embarrassed to look.

Lin Zhiyi wasn’t noticing the glances between the two, and asked, "Doctor Li, what medication should be taken for a concussion? What should we pay attention to?"

"Ah? Oh, I’ll prescribe the medicine. As for precautions, just avoid being angry, minimize stress, and rest more," Li Huan glanced at Gong Chen.

The latter leaned his fingertips against his head, eyes utterly unguilty.

As Lin Zhiyi stood beside waiting for Li Huan to prescribe the medicine, Chen Jin knocked and entered.

"Third Young Master, you’ve made the hot search. Should we take it down?"

Chen Jin looked somewhat sheepish, as if the hot search topic was somewhat embarrassing.

Li Huan joked while typing on the computer. "It’s not the lonely groom being abandoned at the wedding scene, is it?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi immediately took out her phone to check.

She could ignore the other contents, but she needed to see this title.

After opening it, she looked at Chen Jin with a bit of sympathy.

The hot search was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
