Chapter 704: Fang Sisi Ran Away
Fang Sisi's psyche was somewhat twisted.
Suddenly becoming aggressive is definitely not a simple matter.
Lin Zhiyi looked up at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen asked, "How's Fang Sisi's lawyer?"
Captain Xing knew immediately what Gong Chen was getting at.
"We investigated the lawyer before they arrived, nothing seemed amiss, a regular lawyer from a legitimate firm."
"Check something else," Gong Chen instructed.
"Alright."
Captain Xing, seasoned as he was, quickly caught on.
Then he warned, "Third Young Master, although you have bodyguards, just in case, you should refrain from going out for the next couple of days."
"Okay."
He hung up the phone.
Gong Chen turned to the door and gave the bodyguard outside a few instructions.
"Tell Second Madam that the young lady won't be coming over recently. Enhance the security measures of the entire building."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
After the bodyguard left, Lin Zhiyi walked over.
"Isn't this... a bit over the top? Fang Sisi shouldn't be that foolish. It's hard to imagine her even getting past the main entrance here."
"Have you forgotten the time you were taken away? Do you really think Fang Sisi could have escaped the guards all by herself?" Gong Chen reminded.
Lin Zhiyi paused, recalling the conversation between him and Captain Xing.
"Do you think there's a problem with that lawyer?"
"The way Fang Sisi looked at that lawyer was purely out of fear," Gong Chen said.
Lin Zhiyi also remembered the lawyer's attitude the last time she saw Fang Sisi.
It could almost be described as ferocious.
As she pondered this, another matter came to Lin Zhiyi's mind.
"Third Young Master, what did you find out about the cemetery that Fang Sisi mentioned?"
"Nothing," Gong Chen changed the subject, "It's better to be cautious."
"Alright."
Lin Zhiyi nodded, instinctively looking at Xingxing.
Not just for her own sake, but for Xingxing's as well.
Yet she still felt some doubts in her heart.
"Actually, I don't think Fang Sisi would come looking for me."
Gong Chen turned his head: "Why?"
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment before speaking, "Intuition. Between me and Chu Yin, Fang Sisi clearly has more interest in Chu Yin, and she has said she's jealous of Chu Yin."
"Chu Yin isn't in Jing City, and Fang Sisi can't leave Jing City either."
The news is out, it's almost like a trap set in every direction.
Fang Sisi can't escape even if she wanted to.
Lin Zhiyi frowned and continued, "So, it's only a matter of time before Fang Sisi is captured. What is she trying to pull off by doing this?"
Gong Chen pulled her closer, walking over to Xingxing.
"I don't care what she's doing, I just care that you two are alright."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi thought she might have had too many nightmares in the past.
That's why she remained a little paranoid even now.
It was late at night.
Lin Zhiyi tossed and turned restlessly in bed.
Until the man embraced her from behind.
"Sleep, I'm here."
"Mm."
Lin Zhiyi fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next day was the official start of work.
There were still a lot of matters at the company waiting for Gong Chen.
After breakfast, Gong Chen dressed while reminding her, "Don't go out, if you need anything, have it sent over."
"Got it, you're going to have a meeting, better hurry. It's not good for the boss to be late on the first workday after New Year."
Lin Zhiyi got up and saw him off at the entrance.
Gong Chen habitually took the scarf she knitted off the hanger.
Back then Lin Zhiyi didn't know how to choose materials, and now the scarf was a bit worn.
It really didn't match Gong Chen in his six-figure suit.
Lin Zhiyi reached out to stop the scarf.
"Don't wear it, I'll knit you a better one."
"No need, this one has been with me for so many years, it has sentimental value."
Gong Chen pulled her in along with the scarf into his embrace.
He took the opportunity to hold her, whispering as he lowered his head.
"When you knitted this scarf, you wanted things to be good between us, didn't you?"
Lin Zhiyi clutched the scarf tightly.
At that time, her past life's sealed memories were unlocked, only then did she know what Gong Chen had done for her in that past life.
She began to waver on the truth she held on to in her heart.
She wanted to have a good talk with Gong Chen, to resolve everything.
Who knew that Sang Ran would return.
Lin Zhiyi looked up, deliberately saying, "I'm not telling you."
Seeing her reddened ears, Gong Chen softened, planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Then tell me tonight."
"We'll see." Lin Zhiyi quickly wrapped the scarf around his neck, "Hurry up, or you'll be late."
"Wait for me to come back."
"Mm."
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
Gong Chen reluctantly let her go, turned around, and left the house.
After closing the door, Lin Zhiyi could still hear him giving instructions to the bodyguards.
She smiled and turned to accompany Xingxing.
Xingxing was always sensible and had her own ideas.
So taking care of her was almost effortless.
While Lin Zhiyi worked in the study, she painted beside her.
Not noisy or bothersome.
At noon, it was the auntie who came to cook lunch.
Halfway through eating, Lin Zhiyi's phone rang.
It was Zhong Min, Mrs. Jiang.
Lin Zhiyi immediately answered the call, "Mrs. Jiang."
Zhong Min laughed, "Zhiyi, do you have time now?"
"Did something happen?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"It's the first day of school activities for the two children. I thought it was just a regular event, but there was also a sports activity. I'm too old to keep up with the exercise, and I'm worried about them not having a parent with them, so I thought I'd ask if you have time."
Zhong Min's voice was gentle, without any sense of compulsion, but still quite helpless.
Lin Zhiyi immediately understood.
The twins' parents had passed away, and if they were talked about at school, it could become a burden for them in the future.
She also sympathized with the twins and was about to agree when a warning bell sounded in her mind.
Fang Sisi hadn't been caught yet.
Right now, Lin Zhiyi was likely her prime target for revenge.
If something happened to her, it could also implicate Gong Chen.
The only thing she could do now was protect herself and Xingxing.
Lin Zhiyi changed her mind, "Sorry, Mrs. Jiang, I have some things to handle at the moment. However, I have a good friend living near the school, and I can ask her to help out, so it'll be quicker."
Yesterday, Sister Zhou mentioned she took a few more days off to tidy up her new marital home.
The location was conveniently close to the twins' school.
Zhong Min was not upset by Lin Zhiyi's refusal, and was instead very grateful.
"Thank you, Zhiyi."
"No problem. For future activities, just call on me and Third Young Master." Lin Zhiyi promised.
"Alright..."
Accompanied by Zhong Min's laughter, Lin Zhiyi heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Sorry, madam, did I hurt you by accident?"
At first listen, Lin Zhiyi's body instinctively reacted.
She stood still, listening intently.
Zhong Min replied, "It's okay."
The other party apologized, "I'm really sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
At this moment, Lin Zhiyi immediately recognized the voice.
Fang Sisi!
Whenever she pretended in front of others, she loved to speak in this tone, mixing apology with grievance.
Fang Sisi was actually at the school!
How could this be possible?
The twins attended a private elite school, with strict security both inside and outside.
Unless... someone helped her get in.
Lin Zhiyi's breathing quickened as flashes of what happened on the boat rushed through her mind.
Apart from Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin, the twins were targets too!
"Mrs. Jiang!"
Why is there no sound anymore?
