Mrs. Fang didn’t stay arrogant at the police station for long.
Upon hearing from the police that they learned from Fang Lai’er that Fang Jian was gambling at an underground casino, she hurriedly dragged her eldest son away, looking dejected.
By the time the police went looking for them, the mother and son were long gone.
They must have gone to warn Fang Jian.
The police found it somewhat amusing; how could Fang Jian possibly escape?
The police returned to the interrogation room and informed Fang Lai’er of Mrs. Fang’s actions, immediately prompting her to break into sobbing.
She must have realized by then that no one would help her anymore.
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged a glance and still walked in.
Just as the police were leaving the interrogation room.
"Miss Lin, right? Fang Lai’er wants to see you."
Lin Zhiyi nodded; she still didn’t know who was behind Fang Lai’er.
She turned to look at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen released her: "Go ahead. I’ll wait for you outside."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi followed the police into the interrogation room.
Fang Lai’er’s makeup was a mess, and she let out a bitter laugh upon seeing Lin Zhiyi.
"You won, I can’t fight against you all."
"No one wants to fight with you." Lin Zhiyi slowly sat down opposite her.
Fang Lai’er raised her hand to smooth her hair: "You don’t understand, in this world, if you don’t fight, you get nothing. Do you know where my antidepressants come from?"
Lin Zhiyi stared at her without speaking.
She pointed to herself: "I take them. Why do these things happen to me? Why me? If I had known, I wouldn’t have listened to you and stayed in Jing City."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi felt choked up.
If Fang Lai’er knew her fate in her past life, perhaps she wouldn’t say such things.
But even if she knew, what then?
In the end, she would still blame others for her misfortunes.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to keep going in circles with her and said directly, "Who is it?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"I don’t know, but it should be one of your colleagues because she mentioned the jewelry design for the charity gala and told me about your affair with Mr. Sang. Who else would know so much about you after graduation but a colleague?"
Although the other party tried to conceal their identity, Fang Lai’er had come across many people.
By analyzing, she guessed who it was.
Lin Zhiyi scanned her eyes and saw she wasn’t lying.
Having gotten the answer, she stood up.
As she turned to leave, Fang Lai’er called out to her.
"Shuangshuang... is she really pregnant?"
"Yes." Lin Zhiyi nodded.
"You won’t forgive me, will you?" Fang Lai’er’s eyes were just as they were in college.
But now everything was already set in stone.
Lin Zhiyi acknowledged briefly and left the interrogation room.
Gong Chen was waiting for her in the corridor outside, and seeing her low spirits, he stepped forward and hugged her.
"It’s okay now."
Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath: "She said it might be a colleague, and there’s not much personnel who knew about the rumors and my matters with Mr. Sang back then."
But she always felt this matter wasn’t so simple.
Gong Chen wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Let’s first handle the online issues; I’ve already arranged for someone to coordinate with the police to release an announcement."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi checked the time; she needed to go back.
Gong Chen didn’t say much and directly drove her to the studio.
When Lin Zhiyi got out, she realized Gong Chen also got out of the car.
"What’s wrong?"
"Just seeing you off."
"No need, people will see, you should go back to work."
Lin Zhiyi waved her hand and ran into the studio.
Gong Chen didn’t leave immediately and stood there for a while.
Soon, the sound of high heels approached.
"Third Young Master."
Gong Chen looked at the approaching woman, his eyes showing no ripple.
"Something you need?"
"Nothing, just saw you outside and wanted to say hi. Why are you here?"
