Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 1006

Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: Deciding to Join Forces

Sang Li’s breathing was a bit erratic.

But he still steadied himself and spoke: "I’ve always been half-convinced by what you said before, never expected..."

Li Huan observed that Sang Li looked serious.

"This matter is indeed mysterious, but if you take it seriously, you’ll find that many things that happened make sense."

As they spoke, Gong Chen glanced over at Chen Jin not far away.

Chen Jin stepped forward and handed over a file.

"This information was sent by Captain Xing. I noticed he didn’t seem to be in a good state."

Sang Li asked, "What’s going on?"

"Captain Xing said someone was causing him trouble. He barely managed to dodge but is currently suspended; it’s likely related to the Bai Family case," Chen Jin explained.

"The Bai Family again," Sang Li’s face was tense.

Chen Jin whispered, "This is the information Captain Xing obtained by leveraging all his connections before his suspension. It turns out the old man of the Bai Family had an illegitimate son, but this has been suppressed by those with intent."

The reason, of course, has to do with merit.

The Bai Family was the biggest case in Jing City in recent years.

This merit could last a lifetime.

Chen Jin continued, "Currently, we only know he’s in M Country and there’s a photo of him, but the old man secretly introduced him to the Bai Family, indicating he holds some significance within the family and certainly possesses substantial direct evidence about the Bai Family. Apart from this, we can’t find any other information about him."

Upon hearing this, Sang Li and Gong Chen opened the file and pulled out the photo, looking troubled.

Sang Li pointed to the photo, "The person in the photo looks only about fifteen or sixteen, decades have passed, he could be anyone now."

Gong Chen said helplessly, "We might need to work together to quickly investigate the outcome."

But in fact, this is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

How long it will take is hard to estimate.

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, a familiar figure approached.

It was someone close to the old man.

He came forward respectfully, "Third Young Master, Mr. Sang, the old man sent me."

Gong Chen frowned slightly, "What’s the matter?"

The man took a paper bag from his briefcase and handed it to Gong Chen.

"Someone already knows about Captain Xing’s actions, so they sought mistakes to get him suspended. This is information others haven’t found." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Gong Chen glanced at it but still accepted the file.

"Third Young Master, goodbye."

The man left before Gong Chen opened the file.

Gong Chen took out a photo of a woman and child from the file.

And standing behind them was the old man of the Bai Family.

Sang Li said, "We’ve been focused on investigating the illegitimate son and forgot we could investigate his mother too."

Behind the photo was the woman’s name and address.

Gong Chen felt the rough edge of the photo, clearly torn from another photo.

As for what the other half of the photograph was, Gong Chen knew without thinking deeply.

From the background, it seems to be a gathering of the old man’s group, and since the old man brought a lover.

Other people certainly wouldn’t bring their legitimate wives.

The old man tore it off for his own face-saving.

No one expected that now, in his old age, he’d be so alert in a critical moment.

During the conversation, Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao had already investigated the woman and the address.

Chen Jin said, "Sarah Rein, she died three years ago, shot. But her assets are still operating, it should be her son helping her."

Zhou Zhao said, "Although we don’t know what position her son holds in the Bai Family’s business, Sarah was definitely a fierce character, always helping the old man partner with wealthy people in Europe like Yang Jingwei. But there’s very little on her son, almost like it’s been deliberately erased."

Chen Jin continued, "The last place Sarah Rein appeared before her death was D City in M Country."

"D City? That’s considered a crime paradise, getting evidence from such a place is incredibly difficult."

Sang Li took out the resume of the old man’s illegitimate child from under the photo.

Even though it’s not much, it almost counts as a page of a criminal record.

Since his teens, this illegitimate child has been at odds with the law.

But at that time, the Bai Family still had prestige domestically and could handle things for him.

Later, the Bai Family turned directly into a crime syndicate, so one can imagine what level this illegitimate child is at now.

Chu Yin waved his hand, "As long as the child is alright, big star, small star, whatever."

Li Huan wanted to say more but hesitated.

Sang Li frowned, "Did you consider your own health before getting into the water? Don’t forget you also just got out of the hospital."

"I..."

Chu Yin dared not speak.

It was the first time he had seen Sang Li so angry.

Sang Li realized his tone might have been too harsh, held his breath for a moment, then said slowly, "Don’t act impulsively in the future."

Chu Yin immediately raised his hand to promise, "Okay, I certainly will."

Upon hearing this, Sang Li’s face finally softened a bit.

"I need to go back to Hai City for a while, Zhou Zhao will stay with you to handle the remaining matters."

"Return to Hai City? You..."

Chu Yin was about to ask why he was going back but felt he wasn’t in a position to inquire.

Sang Li explained, "Work-related matters, about half a month or so."

Chu Yin was stunned, feeling a bit sweet inside.

He actually explained, that’s enough.

"Then why leave Zhou Zhao? Let’s forget about it."

"You’re currently the company’s most profitable artist, if something happens to you, the company’s investment goes to waste. Zhou Zhao will help you handle some things, at least stay until your matters are settled before leaving," Sang Li analyzed.

"Mm, okay."

Chu Yin also felt she had been unlucky lately.

With Zhou Zhao’s protection, she felt at ease.

Lin Zhiyi noticed they seemed to have more to say, so she tugged at Gong Chen’s sleeve.

"Let’s head back first."

"Mm."

After a brief farewell, Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen out of the hospital.
