Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Is She Dead?

Sang Li immediately lost his composure upon hearing that Chu Yin was left upstairs and quickly turned around.

Coincidentally, Bai Zhengxian was smiling as he greeted guests.

Gong Chen grabbed Sang Li: "You can’t go; he’s here at this time to see who will go to rescue Chu Yin."

Sang Li’s face darkened: "She took a risk because of her deal with me; I can’t disregard her."

"Leave the explanation to her."

Gong Chen expressionlessly dragged Sang Li back to the side, making it seem like the few of them were having a chat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the waiter at the door.

The waiter disappeared in a flash.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhengxian approached Gong Chen and Sang Li with his entourage.

Chu Yin knew all of them, and Bai Zhengxian’s first suspicion would be them.

If Sang Li departed, the previous investigation would be for naught.

"Third Young Master, Mr. Sang, what were you chatting about? Why does it look so urgent?" Bai Zhengxian probed.

"Nothing."

Gong Chen spoke coldly, not intending to elaborate.

Bai Zhengxian felt a bit out of place and then changed the topic: "There was a bit of a situation earlier, didn’t get to greet you all."

Sang Li regained his composure, his smile gentle.

"No need for formality, President Bai; I haven’t even thanked you for your hospitality."

With that, he took out the boarding invitation from his suit.

Bai Zhengxian’s gaze darted between Gong Chen and Sang Li, only smiling after confirming they showed no abnormality.

"This ship was my father’s wish; now that it’s finally realized, I want to return to my hometown and witness it with everyone."

"This logo was designed by my father, but unfortunately he..."

Bai Zhengxian sighed: "It’s from the past, apologies for any lack of attention, I’ll go greet others."

"No need for formality." Sang Li smiled lightly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Gong Chen nodded silently.

After Bai Zhengxian walked away, Gong Chen glanced at Chen Jin.

"Let’s step out to talk."

The group moved out of the hall.

Chen Jin immediately began solemnly: "Third Young Master, the situation is not looking good; the Bai Family has definitely come prepared. Miss Chu found leverage on many influential figures from him."

Sang Li frowned: "For the sake of a mere yacht, there’s no need for such efforts. Luckily, you didn’t agree to the collaboration."

Chen Jin interrupted: "It’s too late; according to what I’ve heard, the Gong Group and the Bai Family have already reached an agreement."

"This..."

Sang Li turned to look at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen’s expression was stern, a certain name was on the verge of being mentioned.

Old Mr. Gong.

It wasn’t his first day wanting to rope the Bai Family in for Gong Yao.

Now with the collaboration established, Gong Yao and Bai Ruoshu together, serving dual purposes.

Little did he know, the Bai Family’s collaboration wasn’t that simple.

"Third Young Master, they intend to..."

To replace you.

Chen Jin’s words were stopped by Gong Chen’s gaze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lin Zhiyi standing beside him.

Lin Zhiyi pressed on: "What do they want to do to Third Young Master?"

Chen Jin hesitated: "Nothing, just dissatisfaction with Third Young Master’s refusal to collaborate."

Lin Zhiyi nodded; discontent from the Bai Family was normal.

But at this moment, she had something on her mind.

Before she could speak, Gong Chen had already noticed her concern.

"What’s wrong? Since you saw the logo, you’ve been distracted."

"This logo is very familiar," Lin Zhiyi said truthfully.

It was an anchor drawn with minimalist lines, its ends incredibly sharp.

"The Bai Family used to run boats, all male family members have this logo tattooed; back then, Old Mr. Bai’s body was identified by it," explained Gong Chen.

During Old Mr. Bai’s kidnapping case, both victims’ bodies were burned; ultimately, only their teeth and unburnt tattoos could be compared.

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t articulate this sense of familiarity.

She wished she could sleep and perhaps recall something in her dreams.

As she was considering this, the waiter dispatched by Gong Chen came running over.

"Third Young Master, Miss Chu... is dead."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi gasped, her whole body going limp.

Before her eyes closed, a figure dashed out from beside her.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed Gong Chen’s hand tightly, straightening her body.
