Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Disappeared

"Achoo!"

Lin Zhiyi sneezed.

The assistant handed her a tissue: "Someone must be plotting against you."

Lin Zhiyi rubbed her nose: "I feel the same way, unfortunately, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, without any clues."

The assistant asked: "Is it still because of Qiu Yang? Is she causing trouble again? Honestly, you’re not her sworn enemy, why does she target you like this?"

"Miss Lin, you have no idea. You mentioned giving fan benefits, and she claimed the spiral ring looks like a foreign brand, and that such spiral rings are not expensive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.

The spiral ring was indeed initially designed by a foreign brand.

Because it was very effective, people later made modifications to it.

It’s considered a tribute.

Lin Zhiyi’s spiral ring incorporated her favorite ribbon feel.

It softened the design significantly.

The insertion technique of the small diamonds was also unique, and didn’t look rigid.

It was as if a diamond was dropped onto the spinning ribbon.

It made it appear more airy.

Placed together, the two styles are actually quite different.

But coming from Qiu Yang’s mouth, it seemed strange.

"The spiral design has undergone so much re-creation, besides industry insiders, very few outsiders know about the source. How does Qiu Yang know? She even knows the price of the materials."

"Exactly, it’s strange, she knows quite a bit."

"You just said I was like her sworn enemy?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

The assistant waved his hand: "I was just joking."

Lin Zhiyi smiled: "But I have thought of another possibility."

...

At the end of the day, Lin Zhiyi sent a message to Gong Chen.

Then she made two detours to pick up Xingxing from school.

When she got home, the aunt just finished cooking.

Half an hour later, Gong Chen also returned.

Lin Zhiyi said, "Third Young Master, after dinner, I have something to discuss with you."

"Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you too."

It seems the two want to talk together.

After dinner, Xingxing went to the studio to paint, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen sat on the sofa discussing today’s events.

Lin Zhiyi told him about the assistant’s remarks.

"If we can’t find anything on Qiu Yang, perhaps we can start with someone around her, like her family?"

Although Lin Zhiyi was sure she hadn’t offended anyone with the surname Qiu.

Yet the look in Qiu Yang’s eyes was truly like that of an enemy.

Just after she spoke, Gong Chen shook his head.

He picked up a piece of information from the table and handed it to Lin Zhiyi.

"Qiu Yang’s parents are alive and well, their family is quite affluent, and since she has no siblings, she receives considerable pampering; what you mentioned isn’t possible."

"Then she has even less reason to hate me?" Lin Zhiyi pondered.

Gong Chen continued: "Looking at her information currently, there’s no problem. Chen Jin is still investigating further."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi said nothing.

But her instincts told her she was thinking in the right direction.

If not family, then who else? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

No matter who, there should be some traces left.

Lin Zhiyi suddenly had a thought and slapped Gong Chen’s thigh.

Gong Chen: "..."

She was increasingly heavy-handed.

Lin Zhiyi snapped back to reality, quickly massaging his thigh.

Gong Chen said: "Where are you massaging?"

Lin Zhiyi withdrew her hand, grinning: "I didn’t do it on purpose, I just thought of something."

Confirming Lin Zhiyi’s suspicions were correct.

Qiu Yang had a boyfriend.

As Lin Zhiyi progressed by time, she discovered a month before Qiu Yang became a paparazzi, the boyfriend perspective vanished.

Moreover, the video quality obviously diminished.

"Something must’ve happened during that month. Did she break up with her boyfriend?" Lin Zhiyi speculated.

"But she breaking up with her boyfriend, what does it have to do with me? I don’t even know her boyfriend."

This sentence gave Gong Chen a reminder.

He glanced at Lin Zhiyi, picked up his phone and dialed Chen Jin.

"Chen Jin, find out who Qiu Yang’s boyfriend is."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Just as he put the phone down, Lin Zhiyi was surprised, pulling at Gong Chen’s arm.

"Look at her neck, hasn’t she been wearing a necklace all along?"

Gong Chen stared at the screen, nodding once: "Yes, and it appears in most of the videos."

Lin Zhiyi switched the video.

"Before this video, she wasn’t wearing a necklace; afterward, she wore this necklace in every video."

Being a jewelry designer, Lin Zhiyi was very sensitive to jewelry.

This necklace wasn’t a mass-market product, it seemed more like a designer piece.

Lin Zhiyi enlarged the necklace, sending it to the assistant.

"Help me check what brand this necklace is."

"No problem, I’ll get back to you soon."

A single product is easier to investigate, especially with Lin Zhiyi’s guidance.

While Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen watched the remaining videos, the assistant had already found out the origin of the necklace.

Lin Zhiyi got up to answer the call.

"Miss Lin, I found it. But it seems the designer has disappeared, and it’s not a publicly released design."

"What do you mean by disappeared?" Lin Zhiyi was momentarily confused.
