Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Killing to Silence Someone

Her body began to tremble, sobbing uncontrollably.

It seemed as if every breath carried profound pain and despair.

Sang Li patted her back, "Zhiyi, don’t worry, I will investigate thoroughly."

Lin Zhiyi was grateful to him, but this was Jing City, and the Gong Family ruled almost unopposed.

Even though the Sang Family could call the shots in Hai City, their reach did not extend here.

Moreover, with the old man having spoken to this extent, how could he possibly not have taken every precaution?

She forced herself to sit up, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Gong Shiyan and Sang Li.

"Uncle, Mr. Sang, could you let me and my mom have some time alone?"

The two men exchanged glances, nodded, and quietly left the hospital room.

Lin Zhiyi lifted Liu He’s hand, touching a scar on her index finger.

That was from her childhood when someone had called her a bastard, and Liu He rolled up her sleeves and fought them.

When the other person realized they couldn’t win, they bit Liu He’s hand.

Liu He’s finger was almost bitten off, but she endured the pain and warned the attacker,

"No father! She is still my daughter! My daughter!"

Finally, when the police arrived, Liu He’s finger was saved.

Afterward, Liu He hugged Lin Zhiyi and comforted her in return.

Liu He had no relatives; she was discarded by her parents, who favored sons over daughters, and given to her elderly grandmother.

After her grandmother’s death, she attended a third-tier university in Jing City through sheer determination.

She was deceived at a young age, which resulted in Lin Zhiyi’s birth.

But she never expressed regret.

What she said most often was, "Zhiyi, you are my family."

Although Liu He had her flaws, being somewhat vain, greedy, and timid, she was the best and only family for Lin Zhiyi.

How could she not care for Liu He?

She kissed Liu He’s hand, teardrops rolling down, "Mom, I won’t let anything happen to you."

...

In the office.

Li Huan applied some medicine to Gong Chen’s ear.

"You don’t truly believe that Lin Zhiyi and the Second Madam embezzled those three million, do you?"

Gong Chen remained silent.

Li Huan, looking troubled, almost blurted out the words he had been holding back, "You shouldn’t keep pushing..."

"Sorry, it’s my fault. I talked with my aunt for too long and forgot to take my medicine. I almost fainted in the hall, so I had to hurriedly call Third Young Master. Actually, at that time, I was planning to go find Zhiyi and Sister-in-law. If I had been with them, things wouldn’t have turned out this way."

Sang Ran looked at Gong Chen with guilt.

Hearing about taking medicine, Li Huan’s brows nearly knotted, and he eventually sighed without responding.

Just then, Sang Li and Gong Shiyan walked in.

Gong Shiyan, looking somewhat pale, said indifferently, "Let the mother and daughter be for a while."

Sang Li got straight to the point, "With the Gong Family’s security system being so sophisticated, how could there be no records? And how could dozens of custom bracelets just be sold off like that?"

"Bad news," Gong Chen said coldly.

"Do you believe it?"

"Mr. Sang, this is the Gong Family’s matter," Gong Chen said, his eyes piercing as he looked at Sang Li.

Sang Li choked.

Indeed, he had no right to interfere in Gong Family affairs.

But he soon spoke in a deep voice, "I might not interfere in Gong Family affairs, but I am involved in Lin Zhiyi’s matters, and her surname is Lin."

Suddenly, the office was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Li Huan quickly stood up to mediate, "Ahem, I still need to check on a patient, so I won’t keep you guys."

Sang Li turned around, "I will take Zhiyi back to rest."

Gong Shiyan raised his hand in prevention, "No need, Zhiyi just sent a message saying she went back on her own. She wants to calm down. Don’t disturb her."

As he spoke, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Gong Chen.
