Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893: Chapter 893: That Photograph

Lin Zhiyi was slightly stunned for a few seconds, seeing her own reflection in Gong Chen’s eyes.

It felt as if he had seen right through her.

She thought of the accompanying bodyguards, surely they had noticed something.

Lin Zhiyi pulled Gong Chen into the study and said helplessly, "Lin Fan came to see me."

Gong Chen didn’t look surprised.

"After going through so much to meet you and your mom, he left so easily. It’s possible he left some leverage."

"He intends to break us one by one, probably trying to test the trust between me and my mom. Seeing that the family angle didn’t work, he’s now trying to manipulate one of us." Lin Zhiyi analyzed.

Gong Chen frowned slightly, "Manipulate?"

Lin Zhiyi opened her phone and handed over a surveillance screenshot.

"I know the owner of this dessert shop, so I specifically chose a position where the surveillance could see everything. This is the photo he took out to threaten me. I’ve examined it; it’s not fake."

Gong Chen looked at the person in the photo, a bit surprised.

Indeed, as Lin Fan said, Liu He was being very proactive.

However, after years of knowing her, Liu He is actually very timid.

The biggest thing she ever did was endure the stigma of having a child out of wedlock to raise Lin Zhiyi.

She couldn’t possibly have any involvement with Wei Xiaoyun’s man.

But now, the investigation around Lin Fan is truly bizarre.

Lin Fan has had no traceable life for twenty years.

He seems to have just appeared out of thin air.

Although Gong Chen is very clear that his appearance is definitely related to Yang Jingwei, there’s currently no traceable connection between them.

Seeing Gong Chen in silence, Lin Zhiyi asked, "Third Young Master, what’s wrong?"

Gong Chen returned to his senses, "Your mom isn’t that kind of person."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, expressing complete trust in Liu He.

"I’ve looked closely at this photo. I feel there’s something off with the angle."

Gong Chen enlarged the photo and indeed found the angle somewhat strange.

"This angle doesn’t seem to be the angle when the door is open; it looks more like it was taken secretly."

"Right, see this blurry shadow? It looks like the lens is being blocked by something. If my mom was proactive, why would this need to be secretly photographed?" Lin Zhiyi confidently stated.

Hearing this, Gong Chen interrupted her speculation.

"Zhiyi, you can say it was secretly taken, but that only proves the man is despicable. It doesn’t prove what your mom said or did in the lens."

"So should we let him have a grip over my mom? My mom’s current life wasn’t easy to come by either."

The more Lin Zhiyi spoke, the angrier she got.

Gong Chen placed both hands on her shoulders, giving a gentle squeeze.

"Calm down, what you’re saying isn’t entirely useless, like this shadow in the lens."

Lin Zhiyi stared at the screen.

Because the photo was taken with a phone from over twenty years ago, the resolution is inherently average, making the shadow even more blurry.

She really couldn’t make out much.

"Is it possible it’s some foliage? Like one of those small surveillance devices hidden in a potted plant?"

"Over twenty years ago, secret cameras weren’t as advanced as you think. Unless you’re dealing with a professional, why bother with such expensive equipment?" Gong Chen retorted.

True.

Back then, even though Liu He and Wei Xiaoyun were saleswomen in high-end malls, in a bustling place like Jing City, they didn’t really stand out.

Gong Chen, seeing Lin Zhiyi troubled, led her to the desk.

"Give me your phone."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi handed over the phone.

Gong Chen transferred the photo to the computer and opened it with software.

After some restoration, though the shadow was still a shadow, it was clearer than before.

Gong Chen zoomed in slightly, "It does look like a leaf, but what kind of leaf is transparent?"

After looking at the processed photo, Lin Zhiyi no longer thought it was foliage.

After hearing Gong Chen’s remarks, she secretly smiled.

"No, this is definitely not foliage, it’s lace."

Gong Chen paused.

"Lace?"

"Like the lace on a dress," Lin Zhiyi explained.

Gong Chen nodded earnestly, "Got it, like the material from your nightdress I pulled off... uh."

Lin Zhiyi quickly covered his mouth, glaring at him, "Who asked you to explain so clearly?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gong Chen pulled her hand down, "I haven’t seen another woman’s lace dress."

Lin Zhiyi’s face flushed, changing the subject.
