Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 710

Chapter 710: Chapter 710: If You Don’t Move, I Won’t Do Anything

"I don’t believe it. But since someone wants us to believe it, we’ll believe it."

Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi meaningfully.

Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment before realizing belatedly.

It seemed that the other party had thought of a countermeasure from the start; clashing head-on would only make them fall into the opponent’s trap.

Lin Zhiyi worriedly asked, "So, do we pretend nothing happened for now?"

Gong Chen replied, "Fang Sisi isn’t dead, but Captain Xing has already issued a death certificate."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi glanced in surprise at Gong Chen and Li Huan.

Li Huan explained, "Fang Sisi was lucky. When the fire was at its worst, someone managed to extinguish it in time with water, cooling her body down. Although her legs were amputated, her life was saved, but the rehabilitation process ahead will likely be extremely painful."

It might even feel worse than death.

Even if she successfully recovers, disfigurement and disability could turn her long life into sheer suffering.

If she had come forward to testify against the Bai Family when she was rescued...

She wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Gong Chen continued, "Captain Xing had doubts about the Bai Family from the outset. Fang Sisi is one of the key witnesses. To prevent her from being silenced, he first erased her existence, and Captain Xing has now moved Fang Sisi."

Lin Zhiyi nodded in agreement.

"What do I need to do now?"

Gong Chen was silent and subtly glanced at Li Huan.

Li Huan stepped forward, "The most important thing for you now is to rest. Investigations are the police’s job, and Captain Xing has been in the criminal police for over a decade; he knows what to do better than we do."

Indeed.

Lin Zhiyi had been through too much at once and couldn’t detach herself from it.

Gong Chen squeezed her hand, "Sleep a bit more; I’ll watch the drip for you."

Li Huan chimed in, "Third Young Master has been with you for several hours now. If you don’t sleep, he needs to rest too."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked up at Gong Chen.

His cuffs and trouser legs were muddy; he hadn’t left.

"You don’t have to stay with me all the time."

"I’m not tired," Gong Chen said flatly.

Lying.

His face looked so tired.

Li Huan looked at the two of them and immediately turned around.

"I’m leaving now. Don’t worry; I’ll make sure to close the door tightly for you two."

As Lin Zhiyi was about to object, Li Huan had already slipped away.

The room fell into silence.

Lin Zhiyi squeezed her fingers and moved slightly to the side.

She patted the empty spot beside her, "Come."

Gong Chen gazed steadily at her, his look deep, "So forward today?"

"No! I just want you to get some sleep."

Lin Zhiyi explained with effort, her face turning red. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Gong Chen smiled faintly but didn’t move.

"I’m dirty; you sleep. I’ll just sit here."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyi noticed the scratches on the back of his hand.

She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and they looked at each other.

Lin Zhiyi curled her fingers, "It’s a bit cold under the covers."

Gong Chen paused, his dark eyes filled with amusement.

Lin Zhiyi turned and mumbled, "Forget it."

She looked at the window opposite her as the sound of movement came from behind.

Before long, the blanket was lifted at one corner.

The man’s scent quickly approached, and Lin Zhiyi was suddenly enveloped in an embrace.

Separated only by the thin hospital gown, she was pressed tightly against his chest.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her head to look at the strong arm across her chest, her breathing chaotic.

Turning around, she faced a firm, smooth chest.

Her eyes flickered, feeling parched.

"I-I just wanted you to lie down for a while. Why did you take off all your clothes?"

"They’re dirty."

Gong Chen’s voice twinged with laughter, slowly cradling Lin Zhiyi’s head towards himself.

Their burgeoning closeness was palpable; every time she moved, he followed suit.
