Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: The Scent on Mrs. Bai

"Mrs. Bai."

"She was acting strange today, constantly causing trouble for my mom and me, deliberately or not."

Lin Zhiyi spoke in a low voice.

There was only one road from the ancestral hall, so there were quite a few people at the time.

It was the perfect opportunity to make a move.

But without concrete evidence, even if Lin Zhiyi had suspicions, she couldn’t confront Yang Jingwei.

Hearing this, Gong Chen squeezed her shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

He reassured her, "I’ve already asked Chen Jin to review the surveillance footage."

"Surveillance? When was surveillance installed in the ancestral hall?"

Lin Zhiyi remembered the hall as the only place in the Gong Family residence without surveillance.

Gong Chen smiled shrewdly, "Recently, we’ve had many incidents. It’s a precautionary measure."

Soon, Chen Jin sent over the footage.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t even have time to voice her earlier concerns and huddled over the phone.

Gong Shiyan and Ren Xiya also moved closer.

The footage was focused right on the road leading to the ancestral hall, capturing everything clearly.

As the crowd dispersed, Lin Zhiyi and Liu He appeared on camera.

But Yang Jingwei wasn’t directly behind them; there was another person between them.

Unless she could extend her limbs, she couldn’t have possibly reached Liu He.

Until Liu He fell down the steps, Yang Jingwei didn’t move forward.

The few of them exchanged glances.

Could it really be just a misunderstanding?

Yet Lin Zhiyi felt she had overlooked something.

She looked at Gong Chen, "Can you replay from the entrance?"

Gong Chen nodded and dragged the progress bar to an earlier point.

Lin Zhiyi anxiously leaned closer, Gong Chen held her hand.

"Don’t rush."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath and focused more intently.

She really did notice something amiss.

"Stop!"

"Here."

When Ren Xiya and Gong Yao argued in the hall, everyone’s attention was drawn.

Except Yang Jingwei, who looked elsewhere.

Lin Zhiyi explained, "She was observing her surroundings and finally noticed the camera; that’s why she intentionally kept her distance from my mom before making a move."

The three of them were silent for a moment.

Ren Xiya remarked calmly, "I understand your urgency, but this only shows she saw the camera. After that, she took no action, it’s not even indirect evidence."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip until a row of teeth marks appeared.

Despite having to concede to Ren Xiya’s point.

But watching Yang Jingwei’s gaze on the surveillance, she was sure it was related to her.

As her thoughts were in disarray, Gong Chen repeatedly scanned the same segment of footage.

"It’s not entirely unrelated."

Lin Zhiyi looked up sharply, "What did you find?"

"I had the camera installed, so I know its angle clearly. Yang Jingwei was probably studying the angle."

"From this perspective, to stay within frame yet make a move, one would stand in a diagonal line with those ahead, exploiting the blind spot."

"Going down the steps, we can clearly see her face, proving she’s one person away from your mom."

"But we can’t see what she’s doing."

After analysis, Gong Chen held up his phone and repeatedly played the clip of Yang Jingwei descending the steps.

Because of the convenient obstruction, only her head was visible, obscuring her actions entirely.

Ren Xiya sighed lightly, dampening spirits, "If it’s unseen, there’s no evidence. She’s likely banking on that; even if confronted, she can claim it was impossible to reach the Second Madam."

Lin Zhiyi’s heart constricted.

Indeed.

Unless Yang Jingwei could harm Liu He from a distance, what they’re saying doesn’t amount to speculation.

From a distance...

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi thought of something.
