Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Chapter 283: You Already Knew, Didn’t You?

The sky outside the house darkened oppressively, the salty seawind striking Lin Zhiyi with fierce intensity.

Familiar weather, familiar scene, Liu He had died here in a past life.

Car wreck, life lost.

Who could know that inside the house not far from the accident scene hid all manner of filth?

No, someone knew.

Gong Chen from her past life.

At this moment, dark clouds loomed overhead, and the endless sea appeared like the gaping maw of an abyss, ready to swallow Lin Zhiyi whole.

In an instant, a violent wind and heavy rain howled in, as restless as her own emotions.

Her eyes flickered with a painful glow, her face indistinguishable between rain and tears.

She struggled to control her body, but her legs felt as though they were weighed down with lead.

The next second, He Yao had her by the neck and slammed her onto the ground.

"I’ll kill you now and then throw you into the sea."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi’s cheeks flushed red, unable to make a sound.

Her hand scrambled on the ground, grabbing a sharp stone and smashing it onto He Yao’s head.

"Ah!"

He Yao clutched his head, rain mixed with his blood adding an extra layer of sinister.

Lin Zhiyi took the chance to scramble up from the ground, stumbling as she ran away.

Behind her He Yao shouted in anger, disregarding his wound, furiously catching up to her.

He grabbed her arm, the pain so intense she thought she could hear her bones cracking.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of an accelerating engine rose nearby.

A black car broke through the curtain of rain, rushing towards them. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Seeing this, He Yao shoved Lin Zhiyi into the nearby car and drove away.

Soon, the two cars pursued each other along the coastal road.

Lin Zhiyi wanted to resist, but her hands hurt too much to feel anything.

She struggled to prop herself up in the shaking vehicle.

Looking up, the violent wind and the torrential rain beat harshly against the car windows like numerous whips.

Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating the person in the other car.

Gong Chen.

Lin Zhiyi sat stunned, staring at him in disbelief.

The man sensed her gaze and turned to stare fiercely back at her, lightning revealing the faint red at the corners of his eyes.

His cold indifference cloaked in a mist of rain.

Gong Chen glanced forward and gestured for Lin Zhiyi to duck.

Lin Zhiyi paused, then followed his gaze forward.

The normally wide road, narrowed by a barrier into a single lane, with Gong Chen on the side with the barrier.

He Yao also noticed this, desperately steering to squeeze Gong Chen’s car against the barrier.

Looking at Gong Chen’s unceasingly increasing speed, Lin Zhiyi’s heart tightened as complex emotions took hold.

Annoyance, unease, and... fear.

Despite the heater running in the car, cold sweat streamed down her forehead.

Seeing Gong Chen’s car about to crash against the barrier, he signaled her again to duck.

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip and immediately lay down in the backseat.

Almost instantly, a loud crash sounded outside the window.

Lin Zhiyi tensed up, blood running cold, emotions welling up in her eyes.

She didn’t even dare to raise her head.

The next second, a loud crash resounded overhead, as if something had straight smashed down.

She looked up abruptly, shocked to see Gong Chen using the barrier and his speed to pivot his car across a lane onto He Yao’s car.

Before Lin Zhiyi could react, two gunshots rang out above her head.
