Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Chapter 540 You and I Are the Same

Inside the room.

Gong Chen opened his eyes to utter darkness and dead silence around him.

He felt powerless all over, managing only to move his hand with difficulty, which made a clanking sound.

Looking down, he found his hand was actually chained.

He leaned weakly against the wall, letting out a cold laugh.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Gong Yao looked down at Gong Chen on the ground, revealing a smile.

"Third Young Master, aren’t you very curious why I didn’t just kill you?"

Gong Chen bent his long legs, resting his hand on his knee.

Even while being locked up, the dangerous and powerful aura around him remained undeniable.

He lifted his eyes coldly, staring at Gong Yao, his eyes calm and unmoved.

"Because the shares my mother left me, unless I nod my head, even he can’t take them back." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"How many days did he give you? Three days? Five days?"

"If you can’t get what he wants within the deadline, to him, you’re useless."

"The Gong Family doesn’t want useless people."

"You’re my backup, who knows if there’s another backup for you?"

Gong Yao’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, not saying a word.

Because Gong Chen had guessed all his words correctly.

He really hated Gong Chen’s controlling and superior demeanor.

He also wanted Gong Chen to taste what it’s like to be trampled underfoot.

Gong Yao raised an eyebrow, "Since you’ve guessed it, Third Young Master, for your own good, I think it’s better for you to give up."

"Why? Because of this chain?"

Gong Chen’s cold face had a mocking look in his sidelong glance.

Gong Yao paused.

Even at this moment, while Gong Chen sat on the ground looking up at him,

that innate sense of oppression made him shiver down his back.

Gong Yao didn’t want to be overwhelmed by Gong Chen, so he casually changed the topic.

"Third Young Master, aren’t you curious how I managed to catch you off guard?"

"Who is it?" Gong Chen’s eyes darkened.

Besides an insider, there was no other possibility. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Gong Yao strolled casually, his brows and eyes showing some satisfaction.

"Third Young Master, you’re so smart, you’ve already guessed who it is, haven’t you?"

"..."

Gong Chen was unwilling to say that name out loud.

His forbearance greatly pleased Gong Yao.

Really wanted to see if he could still bear it when he found out the truth.

Gong Yao chuckled, looking toward the door.

"Aren’t you coming in... Doctor Li."

Li Huan entered the room with a medical kit, feeling guilty, not daring to look at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen stared at Li Huan, his gaze stiffening.

"Li Huan, I never thought there’d be a day when we would stand on opposite sides."

Li Huan’s face turned pale, frowning as he looked at Gong Chen.

As he spoke, his voice trembled, "Third Young Master, I’m sorry, but I had no choice. My mother only has me left; does she really have to live out her days alone, a grey-haired person sending off a black-haired one?"

"I’m a doctor. If I lose my hand, my life is over!"

Gong Chen’s eyes were sharp, "So you betrayed me?"

"I..."

"Is that it?" Gong Chen asked coldly.

Li Huan was made to look even worse, as if being reprimanded with no dignity.

He put down the medical kit forcefully, "Yes! Even without those shares, you’re still the exalted Third Young Master! But what about me? I can never be a doctor again!"

"Third Young Master! Honestly, over the years, for things I could do and couldn’t do, I’ve done it all for you."

"Just for the sake of friendship, help me out, give up those shares, will you?"

Gong Chen lowered his head, letting out a self-deprecating chuckle, his voice cold as ice, "No."

Li Huan froze in place.

Gong Yao, who had been watching the drama, clapped his hands twice, deliberately fanning the flames.

"Doctor Li, it seems benefits are more important to the Third Young Master; he never considered you a friend."

Li Huan’s pupils shrank, his face showing complex emotions.

He clenched his fist, his mouth half-open, "Third Young Master, you really won’t?"

"I won’t."

There was no longer any trace of past affection between them.
