Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 159: Who Really Benefits?

The subordinate handed the package to Liu Xinna.

Lin Zhiyi quickly provided the unlock code.

Liu Xinna checked everything on the phone and computer, finding nothing but work-related materials and casual conversations, with none of the alleged videos or photos.

She frowned slightly, still unconvinced.

While cutting the ropes underwater with a shard of porcelain, Lin Zhiyi tried to divert the topic, "Miss Liu, if you believe I’m still hiding something, you can absolutely have someone who is familiar with computers and phones conduct a thorough search."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinna did just that.

Seeing the progress bar flicker on the screens of the computer and phone, Lin Zhiyi breathed a small sigh of relief.

Her phone and computer were filled with four years of design data and manuscripts from college, which would be incredibly cumbersome to search.

This search provided her with just enough time to cut the ropes.

But just as she was about to cut through them, the search abruptly ended.

"Miss, there’s nothing."

Liu Xinna snatched Lin Zhiyi’s phone, somewhat incredulous.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi felt a complex surge of emotions.

She really had to thank Gong Chen for deleting the evidence from her phone so thoroughly.

"Impossible!" Liu Xinna grabbed Lin Zhiyi, "Are you trying to play me again?"

Lin Zhiyi steadied herself, "And then wait for you to kill me? Miss Liu, you’re not stupid, think about it, why would I play you when I have no grudges against you?"

"You want to seduce Third Young Master, so you’re framing Song Wanqiu! You want to turn us against each other!"

"Would Miss Liu treat Song Wanqiu like you’re treating me?"

Liu Xinna choked for a moment and didn’t speak.

"You wouldn’t, because she has Third Young Master behind her. What would be the point of blaming her? But if I were dead, who would benefit? Miss Liu, I know I can’t escape today, and a dying person speaks good words."

Lin Zhiyi looked at Liu Xinna with a pale face and a hint of helplessness.

Liu Xinna hesitated and did not reply.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi cut the ropes and moved her feet to break free from the ropes entwined around her body.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Zhiyi grabbed Liu Xinna’s legs and pulled her into the pool.

"Ah!"

The already murky and foul-smelling pool became even more turbid as Liu Xinna fell in, making it difficult for the people onshore to see the individuals underwater.

Lin Zhiyi had already memorized the direction to escape; she bit her lip and swam swiftly, ignoring the cuts from the scattered porcelain.

As everyone rushed to rescue Liu Xinna, Lin Zhiyi climbed ashore, with sewage mixed with blood dripping from her.

Just as Liu Xinna was also being lifted out of the pool by her subordinates,

Seeing Lin Zhiyi running away, she screamed, "Kill her! Kill her for me!"

Several men instantly pursued Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare stop and ran towards the safety exit.

But she had underestimated Liu Xinna’s malevolence; the exit was completely blocked by discarded chairs.

She could only scurry through the corridors like a headless fly, eventually hiding in a locker in the changing room.

Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth and nose, curling up tightly into a ball.

Only when the footsteps outside hastily moved away did she dare to lower her hands and breathe.

Just when she thought she had escaped disaster, the locker door in front of her was violently flung open.

In the dim changing room, a dark figure pulled her out of the locker and threw her against the corner of a wall.

Lin Zhiyi trembled in pain, completely devoid of the strength to struggle.

She looked at the person approaching, dressed in leather, wearing a motorcycle helmet.

The black visor obscured all visibility.

But she knew he was staring at her.

"Really useless, I have to clean up after you."

The man twisted his neck, and a daunting tone emanated from the helmet.

He picked up a rusty pipe from the ground and slowly approached Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi pressed against the wall, her gaze moving from the visor to the eagle emblem on his leather jacket.

It was him.

Li Huan!

The man paused in his movements, "Do you know me?"

Lin Zhiyi immediately shifted her gaze away, shaking her head with a trembling voice as she pleaded, "I really don’t know anything, why doesn’t Miss Liu believe me?"

She couldn’t admit it, perhaps there was still a sliver of hope.

The man laughed wildly, "Then remember to find her and claim her life."

He swung the hose down.

Lin Zhiyi instinctively curled her body, and almost at the same time, the man in front of her slammed into the cabinets like a doll.

A row of cabinets collapsed on cue, smashing open the board that was blocking the window.

Moonlight streamed through the shattered window, elongating the shadow of the person in front, blood dripping from his fist, staining the red jadeite ring even more crimson.

It was Gong Chen.

Upon seeing who it was, Lin Zhiyi bit her bloodless lips and collapsed against the wall.

Her body was swept up horizontally just as she hit the ground.

The man in the helmet, seeing this, immediately flipped out of the window and ran.

Gong Chen carried Lin Zhiyi out of the swimming pool, and Chen Jin walked over with a solemn expression.

"Liu Xinna has run away. All the surrounding surveillance has been deleted; she must have been tipped off early."

Only the Liu Family could react so swiftly.

Gong Chen looked down at the pale person in his arms, his black clothes nearly blending into the night, his beautiful features emanating a chill, and his dark eyes harbored a dangerous glint.

"Get the things ready."

"But the old master..."

Chen Jin looked up, met Gong Chen’s gaze, and immediately held his breath and nodded.

...

Hospital.

When Lin Zhiyi woke up again, her vision was still blurry, but she could feel that her body had been cleaned by the nurse.

For the first time, she found the smell of disinfectant comforting.

"You’re awake, you’re awake."

The moment she heard the voice, Lin Zhiyi’s pupils contracted, her blood ran cold for a few seconds, then she abruptly sat up.

The needle still administering the IV broke through her skin, drawing a streak of blood.

"Ah! Are you crazy? Lie down quickly! Xiao Cheng, come over here and reinsert the needle for the patient!"

The figure in the white coat quickly approached, held down Lin Zhiyi’s arm, calling for a nurse to reinsert the needle.

"Let go! Let me go! Get away!"

Lin Zhiyi’s throat was hoarse as she yelled with a cracking voice, her reaction even more violent, lifting her leg and kicking the man in the stomach.

"Oh~~~ ugh~~ aren’t you...being too harsh?"

Li Huan held his abdomen, looked down, and it was very close; he almost became infertile.

Even so, he did not let go of Lin Zhiyi’s arm, fearing that the patient would cause secondary injuries.

Gong Chen swiftly stepped forward, pulled Li Huan away, and grabbed Lin Zhiyi’s injured hand, pulling her close.

"Lin Zhiyi, it’s me, don’t move, don’t move... it will..." it will hurt.

He didn’t say it.

He just stared at her face, his long lashes half-drooping, hiding the tumultuous emotions in his eyes, seemingly calm, but the hand on her waist tightened and tightened.

Hearing his voice, Lin Zhiyi, although reluctant to admit it, felt instinctively that she was saved in her most dangerous moment.

Her complex emotions intertwined, she deflated and quietly leaned against Gong Chen’s chest.

The nurse ran in, startled by the sight of Lin Zhiyi’s skin pierced by the needle.

The pain from pulling out the needle made Lin Zhiyi frown, and her breathing became hurried.

The nurse kindly said, "You’ve inhaled dirty water; I’m worried about a lung infection. This medicine should help ease your breathing a bit; don’t be scared."

Lin Zhiyi wanted to relax, but seeing the nurse with the needle, she still resisted.

At that moment, a pair of hands blocked her view.

Lin Zhiyi blinked in surprise.
