Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Boyfriend

"It seems like there’s a career change. This designer once attended an interview at a studio, and the design was for this necklace, but he wasn’t hired. I heard he knew he wasn’t accepted and caused a scene at the studio, so they recognized the necklace right away."

"And then what happened?"

"I don’t know," the assistant replied truthfully.

"What’s the name?"

"They said it was a long time ago, so they’ll need to check."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi hung up the phone and turned around, just in time to see Gong Chen watching a video repeatedly.

"Qiu Yang’s boyfriend should be a jewelry designer too."

Gong Chen didn’t respond.

Lin Zhiyi asked, "Third Young Master, what’s wrong?"

Gong Chen snapped back to attention and pointed to the screen.

"This is a video of a senior executive at a financial company embezzling public funds and transferring assets abroad. After it was exposed, he committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, but the whereabouts of the transferred assets are still under investigation; it’s very likely they won’t be recovered."

"So what?" Lin Zhiyi asked in confusion.

"Such a secretive matter is not something someone like Qiu Yang could come into contact with. This large sum of money’s final destination remains untraceable."

Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment.

"Someone used Qiu Yang, a public figure, to get rid of obstacles and take over illegal assets."

"Yes."

"She was used! If that’s the case, isn’t she... finished?"

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in surprise.

Gong Chen pondered darkly, "Evidently, she didn’t know. After all, the person she was targeting all along was you."

Back to square one.

Why does Qiu Yang hate her?

After going around in circles, Lin Zhiyi felt a headache.

She collapsed directly onto the sofa.

"What a mess, the more we try to figure it out, the more tangled it gets."

At this moment, a message from Chen Jin arrived.

Gong Chen stared at his phone and asked, "Zhiyi, do you know Zhang Zhe?"

"Zhang Zhe? I think I’ve heard that name somewhere before."

Lin Zhiyi tried hard to recall, but couldn’t remember.

Gong Chen continued, "This Zhang Zhe is Qiu Yang’s boyfriend, but he’s been out of sight for a long time."

"Out of sight? How can a living person be out of sight?" Lin Zhiyi asked in shock.

Gong Chen silently looked at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi was startled, "Could it be... he’s dead?"

Gong Chen turned to the last page of the materials Chen Jin sent; it was Zhang Zhe’s death certificate.

The date was quite coincidental.

"The day your studio opened."

Lin Zhiyi sat in a daze, lost for a few seconds.

"Can this be pinned on me? That day was a lucky day, and I wasn’t the only one opening a business!"

"There must be another connection between the two of you, and it relates to Zhang Zhe’s death, which is why she was used by someone else." Gong Chen analyzed.

Lin Zhiyi stared at the screen.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

But a voice in her mind kept telling her that she should know this Zhang Zhe.

When her whole body was tense, Gong Chen’s hand landed on her shoulder, massaging and relaxing her.

"Don’t think about it anymore, Chen Jin is still investigating; the truth will come out eventually."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, "But she’s already fixated on us, and maybe she’s watching us from downstairs right now."

Thinking about this made Lin Zhiyi feel annoyed.

Gong Chen turned his head and stared at her, "Zhiyi, do you really plan to never go public with me in this lifetime?"

"..."

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.

"If Qiu Yang really makes our relationship public, what do you plan to do?"

"I..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t pressure you. If you want to distance yourself from this, I can cooperate," Gong Chen said honestly.

Lin Zhiyi looked at him and began to face the situation head-on.

Previously, she had always used her career as an excuse.

Because she was afraid of getting into a marriage.

She feared that once Gong Chen obtained everything, he wouldn’t treasure her and Xingxing. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But as time passed, she hadn’t had such worries for a long time.
