Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Lin Zhiyi was greatly shocked.

No wonder after the art exhibition, Gong Yao still wanted to protect Bai Ruoshu, so that's why.

While she was distracted, the doctor tried to snatch the walkie-talkie, only to be struck hard on the head by Lin Zhiyi with the butt of her gun.

Immediately, he fell from the chair to the ground.

Fortunately, Xiaoyi had already administered the injection.

Chu Yin crouched down, quickly stripped off the doctor's white robe, and handed it to Lin Zhiyi.

"You go save Third Young Master quickly, I'll handle things here."

"Thanks."

Lin Zhiyi put on the white robe, masked herself, and grabbing some medicine, swiftly left.

Along the way, she saw many bodyguards.

Thankfully, this outfit didn't attract much attention.

However, with so many bodyguards around, Lin Zhiyi felt uncertain inside.

"Doctor, why are you so slow?"

Lost in thought, Lin Zhiyi was confronted by a burly bodyguard.

She quickly coughed a couple of times, suppressing her voice, "Caught a chill from the sea breeze."

"Alright, alright, don't waste time. They're inside. Where's the young girl?"

Lin Zhiyi's heart sank and she explained in a fluster, "She'll be right here. I'm here first to administer medicine, it takes time for the drug to absorb."

"Hmm, go in then."

The bodyguard opened the room door, and Lin Zhiyi quickly stepped inside.

She was about to speak when she felt a chill on her nape.

"Walk further in."

Hearing the man's deep voice, Lin Zhiyi was a bit dazed.

But with a gun pressed to her head, she couldn't afford to be sentimental.

She could only obediently raise her hands.

"Hmm."

The person behind her paused significantly after hearing this.

Before Lin Zhiyi could react, she was tightly embraced.

"Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi turned to face the man she longed for day and night, slowly pulling down her mask.

Though she imagined the reunion scene in her mind, seeing him made her jump.

His eyes were red, and there were visible dark circles under them.

The once unmatchable handsome man now lacked any charm.

Lin Zhiyi's nose tingled as she raised her hand to touch his face.

"What's wrong with you?"

He pressed against the back of her hand, lightly rubbing his cheek against her palm.

He lowered his head to rest against her forehead.

"Missing you."

"Zhiyi, are you real? I'm afraid to blink, fearing it's another dream."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, playfully pinching his cheek.

"It's me."

The next second, she was enveloped tightly in his arms.

The familiar scent of him calmed her racing heart.

"How did you know it was me? I just said one word." She asked.

"Have I ever mistaken you before?"

Indeed, Gong Chen could always find her.

Though his chest was warm, thinking of the many people waiting outside for her.

She moved slightly, "We need to hurry, they're plotting against you, we..."

Gong Chen pressed her body down, "Let me hold you for one more minute."

"But they..."

"Don't worry, it has just begun."

Gong Chen whispered mysteriously by her ear.

Before Lin Zhiyi could fully process, commotion already arose outside the door.

"Freeze! Police!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent gunfire seemed to fly past Lin Zhiyi's ears.

She trembled in fear.

Gong Chen immediately covered her ears, avoiding the doorway.

"Police? How come there are police here?" Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise.

"The Gong Family's status isn't easily challenged, and the Jing City circle is not something the Bai Family can control. Many want to handle the Bai Family, planting police among their entourage isn't hard."

"Moreover, the Bai Family thinks I'm still searching with Sang Li's people in Jing City, so they're not heavily guarded against us."

Gong Chen's eyes were deep and dark, as if everything was under his control.

"So you fainting was fake too?"

"Yes, they would definitely target me first, just giving Sang Li an opportunity to find people." Gong Chen explained.

Lin Zhiyi quickly said, "Chu Yin and the child are in the infirmary, quickly notify Mr. Sang to protect them."

"Child?"

"No time to explain now, hurry."

Gong Chen asked no further questions, immediately sending a message to Sang Li.

As soon as he put down the phone, someone opened the door from outside.

Almost simultaneously, Gong Chen pressed Lin Zhiyi down and fired a shot.

The Bai Family's subordinate fell to the ground with wide eyes.

Gong Chen pulled Lin Zhiyi, "Let's leave here first."

"Hmm."

As they ran to the door, Lin Zhiyi received a message from Xiaorui at the warehouse.

"Hong Yang's phone received a message from above saying the police are here, telling him to destroy the evidence immediately, and now many are heading to the warehouse. What evidence do they want to destroy?"

Reading it, Lin Zhiyi felt a pang in her heart.

Thinking about the machine in the warehouse that could push containers.

"Bad news, they're going to push the containers into the sea to destroy evidence."

"There's a direct elevator nearby."

Gong Chen held a gun in one hand and used the other to call others to move downstairs.

Lin Zhiyi hid behind him, sending a message to Xiaorui to bring everyone out of the containers.

Very quickly, Xiaorui responded.

"Hurry! I can't make it in time! They're coming down fast!"

Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen, rushing toward the elevator, chaos among the Bai Family slowed them down.

This caused a slight delay.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, they saw the cargo outlet completely open, and salty seawater spilled into the warehouse as the ship moved.

The machine systematically pushed the remaining four containers toward the open sea.

In front, Xiaorui and Jingjing were desperately pulling the container doors open, urging the people inside to run out quickly.

Thankfully, everyone wasn't panicked and rushed to help when they saw she was struggling.

Soon, the doors of all four containers were opened.

As everyone stepped into knee-deep water, running to safety, it seemed they were about to escape danger.

Yet, the Bai Family was faster than Gong Chen's people in coming downstairs.

Leading the charge was Bai Zhengxian, who began shooting at the surface of the water.

Screams erupted around, many falling into the seawater.

"Stand still! If anyone moves, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

With that, Bai Zhengxian aimed at the woman at the front.

Everyone instantly quieted down.

Bai Zhengxian looked at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen, both angry and annoyed.

"I really underestimated you two."

"But so what? This is the high seas! No one will care if you live or die!"

"Lin Zhiyi, if you don't want trouble, walk over here obediently."

Lin Zhiyi lifted her eyes to look at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen's fingertips tapped lightly on the gun in his hand.

Lin Zhiyi understood and shouted, "Okay, I'll walk over."

Bai Zhengxian chuckled.

"Come."

Lin Zhiyi slowly walked forward, slightly misstepping with each step.

Making way for Gong Chen's best viewpoint.

A step away, a gun was pointed at her temple.

"Lin Zhiyi, I knew you and Gong Chen would play tricks."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi paused.

"Gong Yao? Why are you here? Weren't you and Old Mr. Gong locked up?"

"He was indeed locked up, but why would the Bai Family lock me up?" Gong Yao sneered.

"You... actually sided with the Bai Family? Aren't you claiming to be part of the Gong Family?" Lin Zhiyi shouted.

"You've always been naive, this world isn't black and white; opportunities are for those who dare to seize them." Gong Yao explained.

Bai Zhengxian laughed heartily, "Fourth Master, well done, rest assured, you'll be rewarded once this is over."

Gong Yao scoffed lightly, "As long as I can beat Gong Chen, it's all worth it."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi tightly pressed her lips.

Old Mr. Gong finally molded his son into what he wanted.

Selfish and cold-blooded.

Even to the point of not acknowledging his father.
