Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Still Hiding Something

Lin Zhiyi thought carefully about Gong Chen’s words, and indeed it seemed so. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She pursed her lips and said, "I was only thinking about how to deal with that woman and didn’t think it through."

Liao Yi said in surprise, "That woman doesn’t seem particularly special, does she really need you to deal with her specifically?"

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged glances.

Gong Chen motioned for her to speak first.

Lin Zhiyi then began to analyze the woman.

"That woman is very strange. When she heard her husband had died, her emotions seemed as if... she was certain her husband would die."

"Usually, when someone hears news of a loved one’s death, they’d be heartbroken and beg the doctors to save them, it’s not that easy to accept the bad news."

Liao Yi and the designer nodded in agreement.

Gong Chen calmly added, "She kept insisting that you killed her husband, but never mentioned compensation, yet she specifically noted that her husband was the family’s breadwinner. Either she wants to ask for a huge sum, or she’s holding back something else."

The designer hesitated and said, "Her husband was honest, diligent, and skilled, which is why our company worked with him for a long time. He never seemed like someone who would do something reckless for money. We’ve never met his wife, but he mentioned her a few times; she’s also a capable woman."

Seeing is believing.

This woman was indeed capable; she nearly tore Lin Zhiyi’s clothes.

But the designer’s words also indicated one thing: both husband and wife were hardworking people.

They didn’t seem like people who would harm others.

Then there’s only one possibility left.

This woman is hiding something.

Lin Zhiyi proposed, "Let’s first check the studio. I pre-installed surveillance, it might provide some answers."

"Alright."

To avoid disturbing Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen, Liao Yi specifically rode in the designer’s car.

On the way to the studio, Lin Zhiyi felt a bit uneasy.

Gong Chen held her hand, "Still thinking about that woman?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head, "That master, I met him once before New Year’s. I gave them red envelopes, and he even thanked me. Now he’s dead, and it feels suddenly like people are so vulnerable. Living is really more important than anything."

Just now, she was filled with images of self-immolation.

She wondered if she had lived on gritting her teeth, investigating the truth for the late Xingxing, what would have happened?

At least she and Xingxing wouldn’t have died with lies.

Maybe the significance of her rebirth, besides facing the truth of her past life, was Heaven’s way of letting her understand the importance of her own life.

Once you die, there’s nothing left.

In her dazed state, Gong Chen gently turned her body around.

His eyes lowered, revealing a shimmering, eyeful of watery light.

"I won’t let anything happen to you."

Lin Zhiyi leaned into his embrace, took a deep breath, and nodded.

...

Studio.

By the time Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen arrived, the police were already investigating.

She quickly stepped forward, "I have surveillance footage here, it can..."

"Miss Lin, we’ve seen the footage." The police interrupted with frustration, "A minute before the incident, the camera was splashed with paint, so except for some sounds, nothing was recorded."

"Paint?"

Lin Zhiyi repeated in disbelief and immediately turned to check the surveillance camera.

Indeed, it was covered with a layer of paint.

She inhaled, trying to maintain a steady tone, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

The police pointed to the workers on the other side.

"We’re questioning them too."

Lin Zhiyi instinctively glanced at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen greeted the police and then led her to the workers.

"Who splashed the paint?"
