Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Lin Zhiyi just wanted to shout that they were here when she heard the men's voices.

"Lin Zhiyi can't have gotten far with a child. Search around here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi immediately covered herself more tightly with the grass in front of her.

She thought they would leave after going around once.

Unexpectedly, they started wildly chopping the surrounding grass with machetes.

Watching the grass slowly fall, Lin Zhiyi knew that she and Jian Xi would soon be discovered.

She looked down at the feverishly unconscious Jian Xi and resolutely wrapped him in clothes, placing him carefully in the grass pile.

The next second, she jumped out of the makeshift grass pile, deliberately making a noise as she ran out wildly.

"Over there! Chase quickly!"

A group of people ran in the direction of Lin Zhiyi.

At the same time.

Gong Chen and Captain Xing followed the traces left by others, closing in continuously.

Finally, they stopped at a place where the grass had been pressed down in all directions.

Captain Xing stepped forward to observe the marks: "These have been cut with a knife, and the grass is lying down neatly, so it probably wasn't an ordinary knife. It seems they've lost patience; we can't discern their movements now."

Gong Chen stood in place, closing his eyes.

"Do you hear anything?"

Captain Xing immediately became alert, differentiating the sounds among the wind, then turned to look in a certain direction.

He touched the gun at his lower back, approaching step by step, and parted the grass pile in front of him.

He shockingly found a child lying inside.

"It's a child."

Captain Xing picked up Jian Xi.

Gong Chen also walked over and touched Jian Xi's forehead.

"He's having a fever, but he'll be fine for now."

"Ah?"

Captain Xing expected him to be anxious, yet Gong Chen simply unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured it over Jian Xi's face.

Jian Xi jolted awake.

Gong Chen crouched down: "Where's Zhiyi?"

Jian Xi wiped his face and pointed in a direction.

Immediately, Gong Chen's silhouette vanished.

Captain Xing handed the child to a colleague, muttering, "Third Young Master is quite the wife-saver."

...

Lin Zhiyi weaved through the grass, eventually losing track of where she had run.

Ultimately, she tripped over a tree vine on the ground, completely exhausted, unable to get up.

She knew she couldn't run anymore.

But she had to run, or she'd die.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed the ground vine and stood up, realizing it extended upwards.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

She climbed directly up the tree following the vine.

Just as she held on to a branch, four men chased over beneath her.

The lead man's hat had come off while running.

Turning, Lin Zhiyi clearly saw his face.

Fang Sisi's lawyer.

"How come you can't handle a woman and a child? Headquarters said that if it's not well handled this time, nobody will have it easy."

Headquarters?

It seems it really is Yang Jingwei stirring things up.

Only she would use Fang Sisi to kill with a borrowed knife.

Lin Zhiyi held her breath, silently watching from the tree.

The lawyer angrily swung his hand, dropping something from his pocket, which made a clatter as it hit the ground.

Lin Zhiyi paused for a moment.

It was that sound.

Every time something was wrong with Fang Sisi, Lin Zhiyi would hear that sound.

It turns out to be the sound from a pocket watch.

Before, she'd heard online that watches could be used for hypnosis.

She never thought it was true.

Now, she definitely couldn't be discovered.

Just when she thought she was well hidden, she heard a noise like flapping wings in front of her.

Yet she couldn't see anything.

Until she turned her head, facing a drone.

Scared, she nearly screamed.

Seeing that it didn't attack her, Lin Zhiyi immediately guessed something, pointing down below.

The drone's camera shifted, indeed pointing downward,

seeing the person clearly, it swiftly flew in another direction by control.

The lawyer was startled.

"What's that sound?"

"It came from over there."

"Quick, chase!"

The lawyer led the group away in pursuit.

Lin Zhiyi's danger was averted.

Soon after, a group of people appeared under the tree.

A man raised his hand, looking up.

His gaze seemed as if he were looking at a treasure lost and found, his fingertips slightly trembling.

"Come down."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhiyi's eyes instantly blurred.

She hiccupped, all her grievances pouring out.

"I have no strength left."

"Jump, I'll catch you."

Gong Chen gazed solemnly and earnestly at her.

Lin Zhiyi let go, flipping down.

Immediately, she fell into a familiar embrace.

Gong Chen held her tightly to his chest, and it seemed even the wind stopped; all she could hear was his heartbeat.

Frenzied and rapid.

He spoke slightly forcefully: "I caught you."

Lin Zhiyi reached up to wrap her arms around his neck: "Mm, I knew you'd find me."

Captain Xing approached somewhat awkwardly at this moment.

"Well... You two hold on, I'll go catch them."

It was only after hearing the noise that Lin Zhiyi came to her senses.

She looked up at Gong Chen: "How's little Xi?"

"He's fine, already sent down the mountain. Where are you hurt?" Gong Chen lowered his head to check all over Lin Zhiyi.

"I just scraped a bit, and my legs are weak."

Lin Zhiyi wasn't afraid of being embarrassed; her legs were still trembling.

Gong Chen lifted her up directly.

"I'll carry you down the mountain."

Lying on Gong Chen's back was a completely different feeling from holding on to a tree trunk.

Lin Zhiyi truly felt safe and couldn't help but hold his neck tighter.

Burying her face in his neck, after the calmness, there was only residual fear in her heart.

"When the fire started, I was really scared."

So afraid everything would be like the previous life.

Gong Chen felt Lin Zhiyi's slightly erratic breathing, pausing his steps.

"I was scared too."

He said softly, his voice heavy in the wind.

Lin Zhiyi leaned closer to him, whispering in his ear: "But when I thought of you, I wasn't afraid."

As she spoke, she kissed his cheek.

Then she buried her face deeper.

Gong Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his steps becoming much lighter.

After descending the mountain, Lin Zhiyi was already exhausted and fell asleep.

Captain Xing, using his investigative experience, led down the lost lawyer and his group.

...

In the hospital.

When Lin Zhiyi woke up, Li Huan was standing beside her bed examining her.

She focused for a moment, staring at him: "Huanhuan, did you have plastic surgery recently? Why do you look so tender and delicate?"

Li Huan closed the examination report: "Very good, you can still joke, looks like you're fine."

Lin Zhiyi wasn't joking.

Li Huan indeed looked vibrant.

She raised her hand to rub her head, but a slender hand held hers.

"Don't move, you're still on an IV."

Gong Chen stood up, coming closer to Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi smiled at him: "I'm fine, did they catch the people?"

"Yes."

"Did they confess everything?" Lin Zhiyi hurriedly asked.

Gong Chen's expression was slightly cold.

"The lawyer said he had some grudges with the Jiang family, and when he heard the Jiang family was back, he wanted to use Fang Sisi to make them extinct."

"Impossible, he said he was instructed from above to remove me and little Xi. There must be someone behind him, surely it's..."

Lin Zhiyi eagerly spoke.

Yang Jingwei's name was almost on her lips.

"Zhiyi, the evidence was found at the lawyer's house. The lawyer has confessed." Gong Chen gently reassured her.

Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips together, a breath stuck in her chest.

"Do you believe it?"
