Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: I Owe You Another Sentence

Lin Zhiyi once asked Gong Shiyan a question.

If Wen Qing killed Liu He, what would he do?

Gong Shiyan said that revenge by killing is meaningless, it’s best to attack the heart.

Because every day afterward, Wen Qing would feel regret, pain, and suffering...

Especially for a proud woman like Wen Qing.

A fire, death ends everything.

But what’s most painful is wishing for death over life.

Lin Zhiyi was well aware of the pain of being burned alive, but the pain of surviving the fire would accompany her every day.

Especially since Wen Qing is a woman.

What woman doesn’t care about her appearance?

Not to mention that although Wen Qing had entered middle age, she was still spirited and radiant.

And now?

Burned and disfigured, she would also be falsely accused by Old Mr. Gong and Gong Yao of planning to murder Gong Chen.

Thinking of this, a realization swept over Lin Zhiyi’s mind.

She turned and glared at Gong Chen.

"So, you and your uncle are in this together. No wonder he acted so irrationally at the conference; it turns out he was deliberately giving the old man leverage."

"Wen Qing taking Ye Feifei to rely on Gong Yao, is also you and uncle cooperating inside and out, right?"

"Yes." Gong Chen nodded, "Second brother wasn’t willing to take her in, and she was being pursued by the Sang Family. If she wanted to save her life and belongings, she had no choice but to hand over Ye Feifei and rely on Gong Yao."

"So, I really didn’t need to look for Ye Feifei; didn’t Wen Qing just deliver Ye Feifei right to me, even protecting her well along the way."

Lin Zhiyi choked for a moment.

This man... is terrifying.

He uses everyone, even himself.

She pressed her lips together, suddenly realizing she had grown accustomed to his scheming nature.

"Looking at it this way, you definitely anticipated Gong Yao framing Wen Qing."

Lin Zhiyi thought Gong Chen would be a bit modest.

Unexpectedly, he simply replied with a calm "hmm."

"I told Wen Qing at that time, why would Gong Yao notify her to find you? With Ye Feifei in hand, Wen Qing was already useless. Her final value was to be the main culprit for harming me, making Gong Yao the only survivor."

"What about the fire incident? You must have known about it long before; otherwise, why would you have Chen Jin ready to assist me downstairs?" Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but ask.

"Recently, many people around me have been replaced, even spies appeared around Sang Li, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have people. Didn’t you notice how easily you got into the villa?"

"It was... the butler!"

Lin Zhiyi recalled how the butler helped her when she was nearly discovered by Wen Qing.

It was also the butler who let her and others go upstairs together.

No wonder he kept warning her not to go to the room at the end of the corridor; he was actually telling her where Gong Chen was.

"He was trained by my mother. After she passed away, he volunteered to manage the ranch and the villa. If Mr. Gong had remembered him, he would never have left him at the ranch. But alas... in times of old, how can people be better than those in front of one’s eyes?"

The butler endured humiliation at the ranch, watching Mr. Gong enjoy himself with other women, not because he couldn’t let go of his job.

But because he wanted to see the fates of these people with his own eyes.

The arson at the villa framing Wen Qing was his way of hinting at Fu Xiuzhu and Gong Yao, following Gong Chen’s intentions.

The villa’s major purchases today were mostly flammable goods, meant to burn Wen Qing and Gong Chen to death, leaving no evidence.

Now, he should be cooperating with Gong Yao in giving a statement at the police station.

At this moment, a report about the fire investigation popped up on Lin Zhiyi’s phone.

Similar to what Gong Chen said, dry weather, improper storage of flammable materials led to the fire.

Resulting in Gong Chen’s body being found.

Even evidence of Wen Qing exploiting both women and men to manipulate wealthy individuals in the past was exposed.

The current online public opinion is overwhelmingly against Wen Qing.

This scenario was all too familiar to Lin Zhiyi.

"The evidence online was all released by Mr. Gong, wasn’t it?"
