Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Chapter 539 His Everything

Lin Zhiyi was momentarily terrified but then began to struggle desperately.

The person behind her swiftly twisted her arm, pulling her backward.

At that moment, the car was lifted out of the water.

Crash—

The luxury car was dragged out like a pile of scrap metal from the abyss.

The curtain of water falling down felt like sharp blades stabbing Lin Zhiyi’s heart.

Once, she had desperately wished to kill Gong Chen.

Now her heart felt suffocated.

The icy wind stung with every breath she took.

Her vision blurred, and she shook her head hard, unable to believe what was happening before her.

Onlookers rushed over, sighing.

"I heard they salvaged a body, confirmed as the driver’s. As for others, there’s nothing but traces of blood; it’s likely the bodies were swept downstream by the current."

Lin Zhiyi was stunned.

Her body suddenly went limp, allowing the person behind her to drag her along.

Tears silently slipped from the corners of her eyes, as if everything before her was shattering in silence.

Until the entire scene completely vanished.

Away from Shi Ji Bridge, the restraints on Lin Zhiyi vanished.

She snapped back to reality, turning alertly to face the other person.

"Assistant Zhou?"

Zhou Zhao nodded, "Yes, it’s me. The young master knew you would act out, so he sent me to follow you."

"But weren’t you supposed to board a plane?"

"Miss Lin, using the same trick twice, do you really think the young master is a fool?" Zhou Zhao sneered.

"..."

Lin Zhiyi realized.

Sang Li had long known she wouldn’t leave; the silent calm at the airport was to secretly ensure she stayed in Jing City.

But...

"It’s useless," Lin Zhiyi swayed, her face pale, "You shouldn’t have stopped me. This matter is inseparable from Gong Yao!"

Zhou Zhao rebutted, "And then? Gong Yao just accepted an interview, tearfully praising Third Young Master for going missing while trying to save him, indirectly admitting he caused Third Young Master’s death."

Lin Zhiyi looked at Zhou Zhao in disbelief.

"What did you say? He admitted it?"

"Miss Lin, you wouldn’t think he finally found his conscience, right?" Zhou Zhao laughed coldly.

"No." Lin Zhiyi shook her head, "His real purpose is to tell the public that Third Young Master is dead, and Gong Group will change hands."

Zhou Zhao nodded, "A dead man can’t argue; Gong Yao can say whatever he wants. Next..."

"Next he will stay in Gong Group openly to ’atone’. Once he stands out, no one will remember Third Young Master."

Lin Zhiyi stood in the wind, gazing at the setting sun.

After her eyes dimmed for a moment, she removed her hat, gritting her teeth.

"No, I don’t believe he’s dead."

"I must... uh."

Before Lin Zhiyi could finish her words, pain surged at the back of her neck, and she fainted.

...

Lin Zhiyi woke up groggy, with two figures moving in the room.

Assuming it was Gong Chen, she immediately rose from the bed.

Her body hadn’t adjusted, causing her to fall backward. Luckily, the two helped her.

She reached out to grab the man’s wrist, and upon seeing his face, she felt a surge of joy.

"Assistant Chen! You’re alive! He..."

Lin Zhiyi quickly glanced around but only saw Zhou Zhao.

"Where is he?" she asked tremulously.

Chen Jin lowered his head guiltily, his face ashen.

"Miss Lin, I’m sorry, I couldn’t save Third Young Master."

From somewhere, Lin Zhiyi found the strength to throw off Chen Jin’s hand, retreating several steps.

Until she bumped into the cabinet, barely managing to stay upright.

She waved bitterly, "Impossible, impossible, that man, while others take one step, he plans three steps, how could he die?"

"Even if everyone else died, he wouldn’t."

Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao stood side by side, saying nothing.

Looking at them, Lin Zhiyi smiled, yet tears were already streaming down her face.

"Speak, say something!"

Chen Jin whispered, "Third Young Master indeed planned to catch them like fish in a barrel, but we don’t know why it went wrong."

"The other side seemed aware of our plan, using the car accident to leave us unprepared."

"Powder was mixed into the car’s air conditioning; neither of us could..."

"I’m sorry, Miss Lin."
