Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Li Huan is Captured

When they arrived at the scene, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen brushed past the police cars.

She quickly approached Liao Yi: "What happened? Why did the police cars leave?"

"I told them to leave."

Sang Li emerged from the other side of the car, followed by Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the group, confused.

Chen Jin stepped forward to explain: "I’ve already checked; the surveillance cameras on this road have been hacked. There’s absolutely no way to prove Li Huan was taken away."

"Liao Yi can prove it." Lin Zhiyi pointed to Liao Yi beside them.

"Her alcohol level is off the charts. She couldn’t even answer the police’s questions and nearly convinced them she was driving under the influence." Chen Jin said helplessly.

Liao Yi shook her head: "I did drink, but it’s not that I couldn’t answer; I was scared."

"Discussing this now is useless. To avoid complications, I could only tell the police she was drunk and made a false report."

Sang Li stood at the car’s rear, staring at the mark from the collision.

Liao Yi choked up with regret.

"It’s all my fault! I slacked off when learning self-defense skills and drank too much. I couldn’t help at all. Could something happen to Li Huan?"

Gong Chen glanced at the car: "No, if they intended to kill Li Huan, they wouldn’t have left the car lights intact. Clearly, they want Li Huan alive."

Liao Yi sniffed: "Then why did they capture Li Huan?"

Everyone present, except for Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi, exchanged a look and fell silent.

Lin Zhiyi comforted Liao Yi, sensing something was off.

Before she could ask, Gong Chen spoke first.

"The ground has signs of Li Huan’s struggle. Let’s see if he left any clues." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Liao Yi nodded vigorously: "Yes, I saw him tussle with a man while in the car. They outnumbered him, so he had to leave clues."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi joined her in searching.

Gong Chen and Sang Li moved to the other side of the vehicle.

Sang Li spoke heavily: "First Chu Yin, then Li Huan. Just as you predicted, it seems the other side is getting restless."

"It appears someone has found something before us."

"Third Young Master, you’re very much in danger right now." Sang Li frowned, "I’m sorry, if it weren’t for—"

"No point in discussing it now. Just ensure you do one task well for me."

As he spoke, Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi, who was bent over searching for something.

Sang Li nodded: "Certainly."

On the other side.

Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi were searching intently.

Unexpectedly, they found a clue.

"There’s something here."

Lin Zhiyi picked up a button by the car wheel.

"The thread attached is new. It must have just fallen off."

"Liao Yi, see if it’s a button from Li Huan’s clothes?"

Liao Yi came forward to look closely: "No, he was wearing a pullover today with no buttons."

She worried she might have remembered wrong due to drinking and showed the button to Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao.

Tonight, they had dined together.

Chen Jin said: "Black pullover, no other accessories."

Zhou Zhao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Li Huan must have deliberately pulled it off someone else. But such a suit button looks quite common."

Lin Zhiyi held the button up to the streetlight, her eyes widening with surprise.

"No, it’s a custom suit button, silver coin style. The patterns require individual molds, only practical for mass production, otherwise not cost-effective."

As she spoke, she tilted the button to catch the light, revealing its unique wave patterns.

Gong Chen reached out to take the button.

"Most family staff wear uniforms, customized for distinction."

"What customization?" Liao Yi didn’t quite understand.

It’s just a button, isn’t it?

Lin Zhiyi pulled her back, indicating with her eyes.

Best not to pry into the lives of the wealthy.

The Gong Family’s staff, from maids and chefs to drivers, wear customized clothing.

To emphasize family status, every outfit features the Gong Family’s emblem, even the white gloves worn by drivers.

Lin Zhiyi came to a realization.

"Those who took Li Huan must be influential. Maybe I can ask a designer if they’ve made this button design?"
