Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 249 I Thought I Saw a Ghost

Gong Chen glanced down at the man on the ground, "Moving in and out, it looks like you’ve been struggling."

As he spoke, Chen Jin handed over a few photos.

The photos showed a man struggling to move an empty box.

The bottom of the box was clearly thicker than other boxes used for fruits, obviously tampered with.

Old Mr. Gong wanted to argue, but the next photo popped out.

It was a surveillance shot of the man selling skincare products, and the man hadn’t even bothered to remove the "lucky" sticker from the products.

Gong Chen’s eyes darkened but still showed no ripple of emotion, "Just a reminder, he also stole five genuine bracelets to cover his debts."

Bang!

Old Mr. Gong slammed his hand on the table, "Gong Chen!"

Gong Chen straightened his suit and stood up, "How to deal with it is up to you, Dad, since you can make decisions for the family."

"I’m leaving now."

With that, he walked out of the dining room.

Old Mr. Gong’s pupils were filled with rage, "You! You knew all along, didn’t you? Waiting till now to tell me, is it because..."

Gong Chen neither admitted nor denied, he just left.

Old Mr. Gong was so angry that his chest heaved, barely able to stand, when the butler hurriedly came up to support him.

"Don’t be angry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not managing well, I didn’t know this kid would..."

Old Mr. Gong coldly glanced at the man on the ground and grasped the butler’s arm tightly, "Handle it."

"Yes."

The butler nodded towards the bodyguard at the door.

The man on the ground was quickly dragged out.

After a moment of calm, the butler cautiously said, "Lin Zhiyi is missing, should we take action? Since Third Young Master is determined to marry Miss Sang, Lin Zhiyi poses no threat anymore."

Old Mr. Gong sat down, his expression grave, "You don’t understand, he is the only son of me and Xiao Yi, I’ve taught him from a young age not to be trapped by love, having fun with women is fine, but he must marry someone who is useful to him."

"When he was with Song Wanqiu, I turned a blind eye because he wasn’t emotionally involved."

"I thought Sang Ran was a woman with such good conditions that he would be satisfied, but..."

"He has gone absolutely mad!"

Thinking of this, Old Mr. Gong swept all the bowls and dishes off the table, smashing them to pieces.

The butler quickly handed a towel to Old Mr. Gong, who wiped his hands and respectfully asked, "What’s the next step?"

Old Mr. Gong took a deep breath and wiped vigorously, his eyes venomous, "Bring Liu He back, with her here, Lin Zhiyi can’t escape."

"Yes."

...

Villa.

Lin Zhiyi was standing in the kitchen making breakfast when a man’s deep voice suddenly rang out.

"Why did you send away the nanny I found?"

She was slightly startled, causing her hand pouring milk to tremble, but she quickly regained her composure.

She wiped up the spilled milk and turned to face the tall, slender man at the door.

"Because I don’t want others to look at me as if I’m a tramp, is that a good enough reason?"

After saying that, she carried the milk and a few slices of bread out of the kitchen.

Gong Chen narrowed his eyes and grabbed her wrist.

"Speak nicely."

"Uncle, that’s just the way I am."

Lin Zhiyi responded with the same words.

Gong Chen’s gaze was obscure as he looked at her, his dark eyes dangerous and turbulent.

He took the milk and bread from Lin Zhiyi’s hands and pulled her to the dining table.

"I brought you a different breakfast."

Lin Zhiyi glanced at it and saw it was all her favorite snacks.

But now, she could not muster any joy, only obediently nodded.

"Mmm."

She sat down and began eating.

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...
