Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

The gun pressed tighter against Lin Zhiyi's temple.

Pulling back her thoughts, she heard Gong Yao's triumphant voice by her ear.

"Gong Chen, you lost. I told you that for a woman, you'd only meet with disaster."

"Is that so? Then why are you so jealous?"

Gong Chen looked at him coldly.

Gong Yao's eyes bulged with rage, and he gritted his teeth, "Since Third Young Master doesn't care about Lin Zhiyi, I'll dispose of her for the Gong Family right in front of you."

He moved as if to pull the trigger.

A sudden crimson filled Gong Chen's eyes, his dark pupils fluctuated wildly.

"Gong Yao, she's not your target. Whatever you want, just name it."

"Since you're being so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." Gong Yao glared at Gong Chen with hatred, "I want you dead."

"Gong Chen, as long as you jump into the sea from here, I'll let Lin Zhiyi go. Otherwise, I'll send her to the afterlife right now."

Lin Zhiyi shouted directly, "No! Don't listen to him!"

Slap!

Gong Yao struck Lin Zhiyi across the face in one swift motion.

The unprepared Lin Zhiyi fell heavily to the ground. Before she could react, the gun was pointed back at her brow.

"Bitch! You worry about him, but it seems he doesn't care about you at all! I'll kill you right now!"

Click-clack.

The barrel of the gun emitted a tiny sound.

Lin Zhiyi closed her eyes immediately, waiting for death.

"I'll jump."

Gong Chen's voice rose and fell with the sea breeze, entering Lin Zhiyi's ears.

She looked towards him against the wind.

Her gaze met his ink-black eyes, but there was now a hint of a smile directed at her.

Lin Zhiyi understood his look, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, only able to shake her head.

No, no...

"Let her go, I'll jump."

Without hesitation, Gong Chen turned and leapt into the sea.

"No!"

Ignoring the gun in front of her, Lin Zhiyi crawled up from the ground and rushed towards Gong Chen.

But she was caught by Gong Yao and Bai Zhengxian.

Bai Zhengxian ordered, "Take her to the yacht! Throw everyone else back into the cargo hold."

Lin Zhiyi turned and glared at him, "You said you'd let them go!"

Bai Zhengxian laughed loudly, "Do you think I'm a saint? You come with me!"

Lin Zhiyi struggled desperately, but her arm was twisted by a bodyguard.

Gong Yao laughed, "President Bai, don't forget our deal."

"Don't worry." Bai Zhengxian moved towards the yacht with his men, turning around to give the command, "Go ahead!"

Soon, the surroundings were filled with cries and screams.

No matter how Lin Zhiyi struggled, she couldn't break free and had to watch as those who had painstakingly escaped were driven back into the cargo hold.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the gazes of Xiaorui and Jingjing.

Xiaorui carefully revealed a gun at her waist.

Jingjing showed a tranquilizer hidden in her sleeve.

Lin Zhiyi nodded, but before she could gesture for them to be careful, she was forcibly taken to the yacht.

As the fight against crime continued upstairs, Bai Zhengxian boarded the yacht and retreated.

Lin Zhiyi was pressed into a seat opposite Bai Zhengxian by a bodyguard.

Seeing Bai Zhengxian's deeply scheming face made her want to vomit, so she turned to look at the sea.

Thinking of Gong Chen jumping into the sea.

She couldn't catch her breath, everything before her eyes blurred, and tears fell silently.

Gong Chen.

In her heart, she silently called his name.

"Why are you crying! Crying for that man? Don't worry, if you follow me, I'll definitely make you smile."

Lin Zhiyi chuckled.

After all, with Gong Chen's life or death unknown, nothing mattered to her anymore.

"But seeing you makes me want to puke."

Bai Zhengxian stared at Lin Zhiyi, as if seeing through her.

His expression changed dramatically, his face turning flushed.

Furiously pounding the table.

"Want to puke? What right do you have to say that to me!"

"Haven't I been good to you? I give you anything you want! Why can't you understand me?"

"He is my father! Am I supposed to report him? Or do you want to watch as my Bai Family goes bankrupt?"

"Be good, everything will be fine."

Bai Zhengxian swung from anger to coaxing, like someone mentally unstable.

The only thing Lin Zhiyi could ascertain was that his words were definitely not meant for her.

She held her breath, forcing herself to remain calm inside.

Deliberately provoking Bai Zhengxian, continuing to pry information.

"I'll never be with you!"

"You will! If I say you can, then you can! Don't even think about seeking death, I won't let you die!"

Bai Zhengxian's eyes were terrifying, as if he would tie Lin Zhiyi up any second.

In his gaze, Lin Zhiyi seemed to find the answer, and a huge fear slowly enveloped her.

If he cared so much about the woman who looked like her, why not find the actual person?

Unless she was dead.

However, Bai Zhengxian suddenly changed from outrage to a smile as he approached Lin Zhiyi.

"The first time I saw you, I knew you had come back to find me."

"Rest assured, we will be together forever."

Having said that, he embraced Lin Zhiyi, feigning deep affection as he leaned in to kiss.

Lin Zhiyi struggled fiercely, "Let go of me!"

Her struggle had another reason.

She had a gun at her waist; if discovered, she would truly have no chance.

She still had to find a way back to Gong Chen, to see him either alive or dead.

Just as Bai Zhengxian lost patience and began tearing at Lin Zhiyi's clothes, a bullet whizzed by, grazing his head and embedding itself in the boat.

Terrified, Bai Zhengxian fell to the ground.

"Protect me! Catch him for me!"

Two bodyguards shielded Bai Zhengxian, while the other two searched the surroundings but saw no one.

"President Bai, there's no one."

"Impossible!"

Bai Zhengxian's nerves were taut, tightly pursing his lips as he looked around.

But aside from the sound of the waves, nothing seemed amiss.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the sound of a motorboat.

"Accelerate! Accelerate!"

The yacht sped forward as if the motorboat appeared out of nowhere, matching its speed.

Lin Zhiyi clutched her clothes, raising her eyes to meet a pair of cold, determined eyes.

Amidst her blown hair, his gaze was deeply crimson.

It was Gong Chen.

Lin Zhiyi smiled at him.

It's okay, it's okay...

Soon, a dozen motorboats followed in pursuit.

Seeing the red flag on them, Lin Zhiyi felt an incredible sense of relief.

However, Bai Zhengxian, unwilling to give up, twisted Lin Zhiyi's arm and headed to the bow.

In a fit of rage, Bai Zhengxian again mistook Lin Zhiyi for someone else.

"You're still as disobedient as ever, why call the police? I'm your husband!"

"... ..."

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to speak, the muzzle of a gun pressed against her chin.

She had to shield Bai Zhengxian in front, slowly walking to the bow.

Just then, Gong Chen drove his motorboat to block the ship ahead.

Furious, Bai Zhengxian shouted, "One kill is a kill, killing two is also a kill! If I kill Gong Chen, it's a gain!"

"Ram him!"

Saying this, the yacht accelerated towards Gong Chen.

Lin Zhiyi's nerves were taut, but she couldn't move.

Seeing the yacht getting closer to Gong Chen, he twisted the throttle, making the motorboat back up.

Standing in a standoff with Bai Zhengxian.

Upon reaching firing range, Gong Chen stood up from the motorboat.

Placing one foot on the throttle to steer.

Then withdrew a shotgun from his back, shattering the glass to eliminate the boat-driving bodyguard.

The boat stopped.

Watching as the sea police encircled, Bai Zhengxian's veins bulged in his neck as he locked eyes with Gong Chen.

"You knew the cruise was a trap all along! All that uproar in Jing City looking for people was just to distract us!"

"Yes, just waiting for you to act in international waters. No matter which country's port you dock at, the local police will be waiting for you. By the way, all your local hideouts have been raided, thanks to you hastily contacting the buyer and allowing the police to catch you in one sweep."

Gong Chen casually held the gun by his side, his shirt blowing against his body but exuding an unmatched aura of dominance.

Bai Zhengxian's face was livid, contorted in fury.

"Third Young Master, you overlooked one thing."

"Lin Zhiyi."

"Drop the gun and board the ship, let's have a nice chat."
