Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Chapter 923: The Call

Su He Bay.

Lin Zhiyi sat on the sofa waiting for Gong Chen.

Unexpectedly, he returned with a late-night snack.

"Eat some while it’s hot."

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes lit up at the sight of steaming sweet rice balls.

"I’m starving just now."

Gong Chen handed her a spoon and began, "I previously mentioned that I wasn’t sure if Xia Wan’s situation was related to me. Now I can confirm, she seems to be coming after us."

Lin Zhiyi was slightly surprised.

"We didn’t provoke her, did we?"

"Doesn’t this sound familiar?" Gong Chen retorted.

"I think I’ve said it before, and almost got killed because of it."

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips.

Gong Chen patted her head, "Don’t think too much, let’s talk tomorrow when we get to Lan City."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi leaned against him peacefully.

At night.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi fell asleep, she began to dream.

She hadn’t dreamed in a long time.

Yet she wasn’t sure why she was dreaming again.

Moreover, she was surprisingly clear-headed.

In the dream, she stood in the corridors of the Gong Mansion, hearing urgent footsteps behind her.

She immediately turned back, almost colliding with the maid running over.

Yet the maid walked right through her body.

Walking behind the maid was Gong Yao.

However, at this time, Gong Yao was disguised, wearing a butler’s outfit.

Lin Zhiyi quickly recalled the time point in the dream.

It was probably when Gong Yao disguised himself to enter the Gong Family to drug the old master.

At that time, Lin Zhiyi only visited when she heard the old master was ill.

That was when she heard Gong Yao say it was time for medicine.

As for other memories, she couldn’t recall at all.

Regarding some matters in the dream, Lin Zhiyi secretly asked Li Huan.

Li Huan said people’s brains are more powerful than they think.

Sometimes, even if you glance at something, feeling you haven’t memorized it, your brain might have recorded it for you.

So Lin Zhiyi wasn’t as flustered as before.

She understood she must’ve missed something.

At this moment, Gong Yao had already walked past her.

Lin Zhiyi quickly followed, hearing the conversation between the maids ahead.

"The old master said he was ill, how did it suddenly become so severe? He doesn’t even remember people now."

"Not to mention remembering people, he’s even rambling, constantly calling some name."

Name?

While they were speaking, dream Lin Zhiyi happened to stand beside them avoiding.

So, she had actually heard the words before but couldn’t recall.

Dream Lin Zhiyi thought something serious had happened to the old master and hurriedly followed up.

Lin Zhiyi also kept up.

A group gathered outside the old master’s room.

Gong Yao took the tray from the maid’s hand, knocked and entered.

"Master, it’s time for your medicine."

Almost exactly as the door closed, Lin Zhiyi heard a fragmented name arise.

"Where’s Qianqian?"

Qianqian?

Just as Lin Zhiyi strained to hear more, her body was shaken awake.

She opened her eyes, seeing the face clearly before her.

"Third Young Master."

"Awake? The alarm’s been sounding for a while." Gong Chen rose from bed.

"Mm."

Lin Zhiyi propped up her body.

Gong Chen asked, "What’s wrong? You seem exhausted."

Lin Zhiyi realized covering up more would be too petty.

Mr. Jia and Gong Chen also enjoyed a lively conversation.

After all, being Gong Shiyan’s friend, he truly had a great personality.

Lin Zhiyi then engaged in a delightful chat with Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia straightforwardly asked, "I heard from old Jia that aside from work, you wanted to inquire about someone? Feel free to ask, we’re kindred spirits, I’ll help you search well."

"Thanks, I’m wondering if you’ve heard of Xia Wan in Lan City? She’s doing well in Jing City now; people here might have heard somewhat."

As she spoke, Lin Zhiyi showed a picture of Xia Wan.

Mrs. Jia picked up her phone to scrutinize it closely.

"This... don’t know. Old Jia, can you recognize it?"

Mr. Jia stood to take a look.

He also shook his head, "If such an impressive woman existed in Lan City, she surely wouldn’t do poorly, logically, we all should’ve seen her."

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged glances.

Did they travel for nothing?

Just as Lin Zhiyi felt a bit disheartened, Mrs. Jia commented, "Don’t rush, I’ll ask my Mahjong buddies, they’re more capable than I am, they’ll definitely find something for you."

Lin Zhiyi perked up, "I appreciate it."

"Give me the photo, let’s eat first."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi forwarded the photo.

During lunch, Mrs. Jia frequently received messages.

Lin Zhiyi followed along, feeling anxious herself.

Mrs. Jia reviewed the messages, puzzled, "Her?"

"Mrs. Jia, who is it?"

"We’re not sure, but my friend mentioned her eyes resemble someone’s very much. She runs a plastic surgery clinic and instantly noticed that her features except the eyes were altered." Mrs. Jia remarked.

"Cosmetic surgery?"

"Yes, but those eyes resemble someone in the previous elite circle, thinking this way, we realized we haven’t heard about her for more than half a year." Mrs. Jia recalled.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged glances.

Interestingly, it seemed Xia Wan also moved to Jing City more than half a year ago.

Except back then, everyone’s focus was on the Bai Family.
