Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 938

Chapter 938: Chapter 938: An Unspeakable Secret

Old Mr. Wang heard Lin Zhiyi’s voice.

Holding his head, he shouted, "I’m sorry, we shouldn’t have treated you that way back then! We really didn’t know it would turn out like this!"

"How did you treat me?"

Lin Zhiyi, feeling anxious, had a slight change in her voice.

Old Mr. Wang seemed to notice as well. He suddenly looked up, looking at Lin Zhiyi in the light.

"Who are you?"

Lin Zhiyi was startled and took a step back, and Gong Chen immediately stepped forward to protect her.

President Wang stepped forward, saying, "Dad, Dad, calm down, this is Third Young Master and Miss Lin, they’ve come to see you."

Old Mr. Wang seemed to become clear-headed at this moment, and he stood up holding onto the sofa.

"Pretending to be mysterious."

Lin Zhiyi was speechless.

Who was more like pretending to be mysterious?

Gong Chen scrutinized Old Mr. Wang, coldly saying, "Stop pretending, you’re afraid of the Xia Family, right?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"No!" Old Mr. Wang blurted out instinctively.

Unbeknownst to him, his answer had instead exposed him.

He directly denied it, clearly knowing who Gong Chen was asking about regarding the Xia Family.

Gong Chen said indifferently, "Your good friend just died unsolved, how do you think that happened?"

"Impossible."

Old Mr. Wang looked at Gong Chen in disbelief.

President Wang said, "Dad, it’s true, their family has already sent the notice."

Old Mr. Wang clutched the back of the sofa, swaying.

"How could this happen?"

Gong Chen continued, "Back then, the friend around the Xia Family also died suddenly abroad, do you still think it’s a coincidence?"

"..."

Old Mr. Wang then understood that Gong Chen came prepared.

He slowly sat down, forcing himself to stop feeling dispirited.

"It’s over."

"What really happened back then? What did you do to the Xia Family?" Gong Chen asked.

Old Mr. Wang sat still, unwilling to speak.

Lin Zhiyi was getting anxious just watching and urged, "Old Mr., someone has already died. If you continue to hide it, President Wang won’t even know how to guard against it."

President Wang nodded, "Dad, just say it honestly, since Third Young Master is here, he’ll definitely find a way to resolve it."

Old Mr. Wang sighed deeply and closed his eyes.

"This matter really can’t be blamed on me; it was all your father’s idea, Third Young Master."

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened.

It really was Old Mr. Gong!

To think that with their earlier deductions, they thought there was nothing between Old Mr. Gong and Mrs. Xia.

Old Mr. Wang opened his eyes, looking at the clock on the wall as if time were rewinding in his mind.

"I remember that time President Xia brought his wife to our gathering. We really didn’t expect him to go that far, actually bringing his wife out."

"Everyone saw how beautiful Mrs. Xia was and had thoughts, but Third Young Master’s father took a liking to her, so we didn’t dare touch her."

"As for what happened between Third Young Master’s father and Mrs. Xia, we don’t know. In short, Third Young Master was very angry with her, and if it were like old times, Mrs. Xia would have no good outcome."

"She would be like prey in a hunting ground, ultimately ending up in the cage of Third Young Master’s father."

"But strangely, in the end, Third Young Master’s father went against President Xia. He voluntarily gave up his shares, as long as President Xia could come up with the money, everything would be his."

Gong Chen pondered, "So, President Xia took out so many high-interest loans?"

Old Mr. Wang shook his head.

"Although we were just toying with President Xia for fun, giving him that bit of money was no big deal, just for entertainment. But while Old Mr. gave him leeway, he didn’t allow anyone to give him money."

"President Xia spent a long time with us, longing for our lifestyle, so he had to mortgage everything. But even with the loans, it wasn’t enough, so he took a desperate step."

"Mrs. Xia was his bait."
