Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 544 She Did It on Purpose

Gong Chen’s office.

When Lin Zhiyi stepped in here again, everything had changed.

She approached the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down, trying to see the view Gong Chen had seen.

Actually, nothing was clear; everything was empty.

Even the sunlight filtering down seemed unable to penetrate the glass.

Empty.

Lin Zhiyi felt a wave of dizziness and immediately lifted her gaze.

Just then, a black figure was reflected in the glass, quickly striding in.

She was startled and delighted, and turned around at once.

But it was only Gong Shiyan, walking hastily.

"Uncle."

Lin Zhiyi felt a sense of loss in her heart, lowering her gaze.

Gong Shiyan said worriedly, "Zhiyi, it was too dangerous for you today. Most of the people in the conference room are the Old Master’s men. They won’t let you secure this position by force."

"Then why did Uncle make a scene at the meeting?" Lin Zhiyi continued, "Uncle, you care about the Third Young Master, don’t you? So do I."

"You..." Gong Shiyan was at a loss for words.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to keep dwelling on whether to stay or leave.

She changed the topic, "Uncle, I have to wait for the Third Young Master to come back, so please help me handle some of his work during these five days."

"The tasks of Lao San are complex and extensive; how do you plan to manage them in such a short time?"

Five days or even five years wouldn’t be enough.

Even given Lin Zhiyi’s abilities, she couldn’t learn half of what Gong Chen mastered.

Otherwise, why would the Old Master’s crew put in such great effort?

Lin Zhiyi just smiled, "Uncle, rest assured, the Third Young Master is so smart, how could he have no preparations for me inheriting everything from him? He left some things, enough to keep the other members of the Gong Family in check."

Saying this, she took a leather folder out of her bag.

"..."

Gong Shiyan was about to ask, but noticed something off in Lin Zhiyi’s eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin, standing on the side, looking at their phones, seeming to handle something.

Yet, they unobtrusively shifted positions.

Gong Shiyan understood, calmly moving next to Lin Zhiyi.

"Lao San has always been a deep thinker, I knew he left a trump card."

"Uncle, look..."

With that, Lin Zhiyi slowly opened the leather folder.

As she took out the contents, there was a brief squeak by her ear.

Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao quickly grabbed the surveillance devices from the bookshelf and flower pot, smashing them in one fluid motion.

Chen Jin placed a finger on his lips, signaling Lin Zhiyi and Gong Shiyan to stay silent.

Zhou Zhao pointed towards the second floor, indicating there were more.

The two of them used an app on their phone, step by step moving upstairs.

A few minutes later, they came back down, carrying broken devices.

Chen Jin explained, "Every move of the Third Young Master was well known to the other side, so we suspected the office was bugged. Now it’s secure, the internal signals have been disrupted."

Zhou Zhao fiddled with the small device in his hand, "It’s still a charging device. If it needed to be plugged in, it would be easy to discover, so it seems that someone was coming in every day to replace the batteries."

Gong Shiyan wore a grave expression, "People are supposed to clean this place every day; they can’t not know about the surveillance unless all of them were bought off."

Chen Jin added, "Daring to let Gong Yao sit in the Third Young Master’s position today shows that our surrounding people had been infiltrated for a long time."

"No wonder the Old Master has been so quiet lately; he was preparing the way for Gong Yao all along."

Gong Shiyan’s tone was filled with both sorrow and anger.

Coming back to his senses, he looked back at Lin Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, Lao San didn’t leave you anything, did he?"

Lin Zhiyi turned the folder upside down, and a few blank sheets of paper fell out.

"I said that on purpose."

"Do you still remember what the Old Master and Gong Yao said?"

"Every word they said confirmed that in five days, they would find the Third Young Master’s body, which only means he’s with them now."

"If I claim now that he left me something, it would make them anxious, and they would immediately pressure the Third Young Master."

Gong Shiyan was stunned, looking at Lin Zhiyi with a bit of surprise.
