Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Keeping It from Her

"Wu?"

Lin Zhiyi immediately thought of the Wu sisters.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened her phone, there was a video of Wu Yun sobbing.

It was just reversing black and white.

She knew exactly what had happened.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t expect the Wu sisters to still dare to stir up trouble even after Gong Chen knew everything.

She grabbed her phone to make a call.

Unexpectedly, Gong Chen’s call came in.

"Third Young Master..."

"It was my idea, don’t worry."

"Why did you do this?" Lin Zhiyi didn’t understand.

"Fu Xiuzhu and Gong Yao were getting restless. If Wu Ying didn’t do something, it would easily expose everything," Gong Chen explained.

"But what about you?"

"Negotiations. Let Gong Yao expose himself."

"Alright. So now the company is..."

"They’re letting me take some time off," Gong Chen said calmly.

"What? Suspension?"

"Yes. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"You still have an appetite? Seems like you’re quite satisfied with the break."

Lin Zhiyi sighed with relief.

Gong Chen chuckled, "I didn’t get a good rest even during the trip,"

"Why not?"

"Too much activity day and night."

"Where..." Lin Zhiyi blushed under her assistant’s gaze, "What are you talking about?"

"I’ll ask Auntie to cook a few more dishes and have a drink tonight."

"I’ve never seen anyone so happy to be suspended."

"It’s just the right time to spend more time with you and Xingxing. I’ll pick you up later."

"Okay."

...

Gong Chen quite adapted to his suspended life, starting his morning with a run, having breakfast, and then taking the child to school.

He had really become Lin Zhiyi’s personal driver.

He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.

The online turmoil had nothing to do with him.

The Gong Group didn’t issue any statements, letting netizens continue to criticize.

Wu Yun suddenly gained quite a few fans, and even she was somewhat apprehensive.

Afraid that things might get out of control.

On this day, Lin Zhiyi had to go directly to meet a client, so she didn’t have Gong Chen drive her.

While putting on her shoes, she advised, "You don’t need to pick me up today. I might be back late. You and Xingxing have dinner early."

"Okay."

Gong Chen leaned against the wall and handed Lin Zhiyi her bag.

Lin Zhiyi found his casual attire amusing.

"Third Young Master, you seem to enjoy this lifestyle a lot."

"Living off someone else is quite good for the stomach."

"Alright then, I’m off to earn some money."

Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to touch his face and quickly ran off.

Gong Chen watched the elevator go down and dialed Captain Xing’s number.

"I’m on my way."

...

Downstairs.

Lin Zhiyi drove to the entrance of the neighborhood only to realize she forgot something.

She had no choice but to turn back.

Unexpectedly, she saw Gong Chen driving out.

Strange.

Didn’t Gong Chen say he was going to work on some backlog at home today?

Could something have happened at the company?

Thinking about it, she instinctively took out her phone to check the online news.

The comments were indeed getting increasingly nasty.

Lin Zhiyi still chose to trust him.

Once inside, she couldn’t wait to ask, "What’s going on?"

Captain Xing hesitated to speak.

Gong Chen directly said, "We believe Gong Yao and Yang Jingwei are collaborating again; I didn’t want you to get involved."

"It’s not the first time they’ve collaborated. So what’s there to worry about? They..." Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened, "You’re saying they’re up to their old tricks? No way."

"Yes," Gong Chen glanced at Captain Xing.

Captain Xing immediately continued, "Miss Lin, you should remember that after the Bai Family was arrested, a lot of evidence about Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu went missing. We couldn’t believe that the two of them hadn’t been involved in the Bai Family’s business."

"The Third Young Master speculates that Yang Jingwei has long wanted to get rid of the Bai Family to seize their assets herself, and the evidence must be in her hands. Therefore, I applied for support from higher-ups to monitor Yang Jingwei’s every move with the Third Young Master."

"She originally wanted to use Bai Ruoshu’s assets to establish her own power, but doing business in Jing City is tough. She barely maintained a few projects before having her business snatched away by the Third Young Master. To maintain her status in Jing City, she could only revert to her old ways."

"Recently, she had a private meeting with Bai Zhengxian, and we knew she had decided to make a move."

"The Third Young Master hid this from you to keep you out of such a dangerous situation. Besides, we’re police officers; we couldn’t possibly let you take risks again."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen.

"Many things Yang Jingwei does are aimed at me. At least I have the right to know, right?"

"I don’t want to say. You should be doing what you enjoy now, not getting entangled with those kinds of people and things," Gong Chen insisted.

Lin Zhiyi knew he was doing it for her own good.

"Then shouldn’t I at least be prepared?"

As she spoke, her tone calmed considerably.

Gong Chen sighed and pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

"You’re right. Let’s sit and talk."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi quickly stepped forward.

Behind her, Gong Chen gave Captain Xing a deep look.

Captain Xing nodded slightly and returned to his desk.

Lin Zhiyi anxiously asked, "Captain Xing, is it true? Gong Yao is involved in such things too? Willingly?"

He previously cooperated only because he was being blackmailed by the Bai Family.

"It seems so for now, but we need evidence, so we shouldn’t alert them prematurely. That’s why the Third Young Master allowed the Wu sisters to make accusations online, to divert attention," Captain Xing explained.

"What about Old Mr. Gong?" Lin Zhiyi asked, "I remember the Old Master pretended to cooperate with Bai Zhengxian to actually use Bai Zhengxian to gather dirt on the powerful."

"That’s also why I asked the Third Young Master to come over," Captain Xing pulled out a report, "This is the report on that pill."
