Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: The Orchids Have Bloomed

Lin Zhiyi asked curiously, "Captain Xing, what are you laughing at?"

Captain Xing replied, "Laughing at someone who is cautious but not cautious enough. She can track your movements in real-time, so she must be in the country, here in Jing City. She’s only making Qiu Yang believe she is controlling everything from abroad."

Qiu Yang listened and then looked up to stare at Captain Xing.

"Wait a minute, I’ve remembered something. When we were on the phone, it sounded like someone on the other side said something, something like... Madam, the orchids have bloomed."

Captain Xing exclaimed, "The orchids bloomed long ago! How could there be orchids in this season?"

Lin Zhiyi explained, "High-quality orchids are tended to by specialists, and wealthy families might have independent temperature-controlled greenhouses to grow whatever they like. Plus, the person on the phone addressed her as madam, which isn’t just any ordinary person, meaning the orchids she cultivates are definitely special varieties. Maybe we can start from there."

Captain Xing gave a thumbs up, "In this regard, you truly shine."

"I just happened to hear my mom talk about some things," Lin Zhiyi explained.

After speaking, Qiu Yang next to them stared straight at her, sending a chill through Lin Zhiyi’s heart.

"What’s wrong?"

"If I could have been like you back then, perhaps things wouldn’t have gone so badly."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t respond and could only look to Captain Xing.

Captain Xing said, "Then do your best to redeem yourself, at least to strive for a lighter sentence."

Qiu Yang nodded.

Arriving at her apartment, Captain Xing turned and unlocked her handcuffs.

Then got out of the car, grabbing Lin Zhiyi’s arm, making it look like he was arresting her.

Qiu Yang took a deep breath and immediately got into character, smiling smugly at Lin Zhiyi.

She then waved to Captain Xing, indicating for him to follow.

This scene just happened to fall into the eyes of a man across the restaurant.

The man dialed a phone number.

"Madam, Qiu Yang has taken Lin Zhiyi back to the apartment."

"Lin Zhiyi?"

"Seems Qiu Yang brought her in, looking quite pleased."

"It appears Qiu Yang has made her move, keep an eye on things. She’s getting erratic; cover for her so no slips happen."

"Yes, madam."

...

Inside the apartment.

As soon as Qiu Yang entered, she raised her hand, ready to put the handcuffs back on.

Unexpectedly, a middle-aged woman walked out from the room.

"Yangyang, why is your home such a mess? You never tidy up when you’re alone."

"Mom?"

Qiu Yang stared in terror at her approaching mother.

Lin Zhiyi immediately blocked Captain Xing, who was holding the handcuffs.

Captain Xing thought for a moment and put away the handcuffs.

The woman looked at Captain Xing and Lin Zhiyi, asking, "And who might these two be..."

Lin Zhiyi hastily replied, "Friends, we happened to be passing by and just came up to check in."

The woman nodded, her gaze landing on Captain Xing.

Captain Xing’s appearance was quite resolute, giving off a sense of righteousness.

Despite being slightly older, he conveyed a very upright feeling.

"This gentleman..."

"Mom, please quit asking, head back first, we have some things to discuss." Qiu Yang said hurriedly.

"What’s the rush? You’ve met such a decent man, seems like you’ve opened up a bit. I’ve always said that your ex-boyfriend was really unsuitable, last time calling him for a meal, he was late and only ordered his favorites, not even knowing you’re allergic to river shrimp. He didn’t consider you at all."

"Mom... Stop saying that, I know already, it’s all my fault." Qiu Yang choked up.

The woman comforted her, "How could it be your fault? It’s normal to encounter a few scumbags when you’re young. You have a lot of time."

"Mom."

Qiu Yang embraced her mother.

Lin Zhiyi and Captain Xing stood silently, not interrupting.
