Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: We’ve All Been Deceived

The police were still saying something, but Lin Zhiyi wasn’t listening at all.

Her mind went blank with a bang.

Suddenly, there was a commotion of footsteps at the entrance of the police station.

Before anyone was seen, an angry voice could be heard.

"Where is Liu He! Call her out!"

Lin Zhiyi was startled upon hearing the voice.

Turning her head, she saw Aunt Yang with a pale, livid face rushing in disheveled, leading a group of people.

Three of them were the aunts who had afternoon tea with Liu He last time.

Unable to find Liu He, Aunt Yang set her sights on Lin Zhiyi as if seeing her enemy, her eyes blood-red and jaws tightly clenched.

Without giving anyone a chance to react, she charged at Lin Zhiyi like an arrow.

Fortunately, Sang Li was quick to react, raising his hand to shield Lin Zhiyi.

The police held back Aunt Yang: "Please be mindful! This is a police station!"

As if provoked, Aunt Yang ignored the police’s words and started to throw a tantrum.

Turning to the side, she grabbed the policeman’s collar and said, "Are you protecting Liu He just because she’s the Gong Family’s Second Madam? Do you have any idea how much money she’s scammed from us ordinary folks? This is collusion between officials and businessmen!"

The police frowned but still patiently said, "I understand you’re all anxious, we’re already investigating, and we will give you justice."

"We don’t believe it! Who knows if you’ll just release Liu He once we leave! We won’t accept unless you hand over Lin Zhiyi to us! With her daughter here, Liu He definitely can’t escape."

Aunt Yang, staring intently at Lin Zhiyi shielded in Sang Li’s arms, sat down on the ground and gestured broadly.

Fearing their money could not be reclaimed, the people behind her followed suit and surrounded Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi, looking at the familiar aunts baring their teeth and sneering, finally recovered her wits after a long while.

She tugged at Sang Li’s hand and took a step forward.

"Aunt Yang, what on earth has happened to you all?"

Aunt Yang huffed coldly: "Your mother and Jiang Fen scammed our money!"

Another aunt who was relatively calm explained, "Zhiyi, don’t think we’re heartless, but we’ve lost all our money. Aunt Yang mortgaged her house and car to make some extra money for her son, and now we’re told everything was a scam! How can we accept this?"

Lin Zhiyi was stunned: "Didn’t I tell you to consider it carefully? Have you discussed it thoroughly with Aunt Jiang?"

They looked at each other.

"No, but the money was indeed given to your mom, why don’t you just return it to us."

"Yeah, Zhiyi, it’s all our hard-earned money, just pay it back for your mom."

Apart from Aunt Yang, the tones of the other aunts softened, and they took turns pressuring Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi took a step back and counter-asked, "Are you implying my mom directly asked you for the money?"

They were silent, nervously fidgeting with their sleeves.

Aunt Yang suddenly stood up, hands on hips: "Yes! It was Liu He who tricked us out of our money! Hurry up and return it!"

Hearing about the repayment, the others also nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhiyi’s gaze swept around, feeling that something was amiss, but still she asked, "How much?"

Immediately, the crowd in front of her started to shout out figures.

Lin Zhiyi felt a sourness in her heart and froze.

Thirty-six million and more!

How could she ever repay that?

Seeing Lin Zhiyi silent, Aunt Yang reached out and grabbed her arm: "Are you trying to deny it? Don’t think I don’t know, your mom has arranged a dowry of tens of millions for you, perhaps all that money was scammed!"

Upon hearing about the tens of millions in dowry, the others’ faces darkened, as if they wanted to skin Lin Zhiyi alive.

Lin Zhiyi, however, just stared blankly at Aunt Yang.

Gong Shiyan usually appeared mild-mannered, but he was unequivocal when it mattered. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
