Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 368: You Don’t Understand Her

Sang Li noticed Lin Zhiyi’s emotional fluctuations, with a sidelong glance as Sister Zhou happened to come out with water.

"Then you may stay at Miss Zhou’s house for now; the bodyguards will remain here to protect you."

"Mm," Lin Zhiyi sighed with relief.

Sister Zhou handed the water to Lin Zhiyi, promising, "Mr. Sang, rest assured, I will take good care of Zhiyi."

"Thank you for the trouble," Sang Li answered gentlemanly.

After he finished speaking, he received a text message from Zhou Zhao.

He glanced at the message, and casually said, "Zhiyi, you get some rest first; I have some matters to attend to."

Lin Zhiyi hummed in acknowledgment.

After sending off Sang Li, Sister Zhou took Lin Zhiyi back to her home.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard knocked on the door.

"Miss Lin, if you need anything, just call us. The cleaning crew will come by later; it may be a bit noisy."

"Thank you."

Lin Zhiyi closed the door, and as she turned around, she saw Sister Zhou’s eyes sparkling.

"Wow, are all bodyguards this handsome?"

"Maybe."

Lin Zhiyi had been to Sister Zhou’s home many times, so she was not constrained and slumped directly onto the couch.

Sister Zhou poured her a glass of juice, "What happened?"

Lin Zhiyi drank half the glass of juice in one go; the sour and sweet taste suppressed the bitterness in her mouth.

She omitted some details and roughly explained the situation.

Sister Zhou was shocked, "Your mom was set up by her best friends."

"It seems so. But the auntie who turned herself in has cancer and is close to death. If she really dies, there will be a dead testimony. The other auntie invested everything for her son; she would never miss any chance to get her money back."

They had truly become sworn enemies.

Sister Zhou sighed slightly, "I don’t feel sorry for them at all; instead, it’s their children who are truly unlucky, especially the sister who sold everything just for her son. He’s still in Cheng Bei High School. Now the sky has fallen for him. Do you think such a mother will continue to provide for her daughter? I fear the daughter will also become her brother’s ’blood bag’."

Sister Zhou came to Jing City alone, not because she had great ambitions but because she had no choice.

She also has a young brother.

Their parents gave almost everything to him, even demanding that she do the same.

This year, with excellent performance, Sister Zhou received a substantial bonus and finally bought the designer cashmere coat she had been coveting for two years.

About thirty thousand.

But after the new year, she returned to Jing City wearing only a thin down jacket.

It turned out that her mother hid the newly bought cashmere coat, criticizing her for wasting money, saying it would be better to save the money for her brother to buy a house and get married in the future.

In fact, Sister Zhou’s family was quite well off; thirty thousand wasn’t too much for them.

It’s just that the parents simply didn’t think she deserved a coat worth thirty thousand.

Sister Zhou spoke about it without much emotion, as though she was accustomed to it.

She didn’t wear the coat home just to show off but largely hoped to get a proper look from her parents.

Lin Zhiyi was about to comfort Sister Zhou when Sister Zhou’s words suddenly hit her.

"Sister Zhou, what did you just say?"

"I said the children are pitiable."

"Who is pitiable?" Lin Zhiyi wanted to confirm again.

"Aunt Yang’s daughter, obviously your aunt favors sons over daughters," Sister Zhou surmised.

"In that case, do you think she might know something?"

"She must know, girls in puberty are very sensitive; it’s impossible for her to have no idea."

Right, that was it.

Lin Zhiyi immediately stood up, "I have to step out."

...

Before calling a cab, Lin Zhiyi made a call to Li Huan.

"You’re looking for me after sending me flying with eighteen punches?" Li Huan joked.

"Doctor Li, help me find a patient, leukemia, boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, should have recently been transferred to Jing City Hospital. His mother’s name is Jiang Fen."

Jiang Fen is dying of cancer; she would definitely settle her sick child properly.

On the other end of the phone, Li Huan remained silent for a long time.

It wasn’t until a moment later that he slowly spoke up: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Zhiyi told the truth: "My mom had an accident, and this boy with leukemia is her friend’s son. He must know something."

"Hmm. I’ll look into it for you," Li Huan responded.

"Thank you."

Lin Zhiyi hung up the phone, and just at that moment, the taxi stopped in front of her.

After getting in the car, she said to the driver: "Go to Cheng Bei High School."

As the car started, Lin Zhiyi looked out the window.

Calling Li Huan to find Jiang Fen’s son was her deliberate move.

Since the trap was set to frame her and Liu He, nothing would end before she was implicated.

Jiang Fen, as the most important witness in this matter.

Any ordinary person would definitely look for a breakthrough with her.

So her son, whom she depended on for survival, was naturally the best choice.

It was just like a person in a desperate situation seeing the only way out.

And it was such a coincidence.

No wonder when she suggested finding Jiang Fen’s son at the police station, Sang Li tried to stop her, he must have realized someone was scheming.

She intended to make the mastermind believe that she was walking step by step into the trap that had been set for her in advance.

Elsewhere, at the hospital.

Li Huan put down his phone and looked at the man opposite him.

"She’s looking for Jiang Fen’s son. Isn’t that like walking into a net?"

Gong Chen stood up and removed the blood collection needle from his arm: "You don’t understand her."

"Then what does she want to do?" Li Huan shook the blood vial in his hand.

Gong Chen didn’t elaborate, just did up his cufflinks: "Do as she says. Let’s go."

Li Huan pouted, put down the blood vial, and dialed a friend’s number.

"Old classmate, there’s something I need your help with..."

"Okay, I got it."

After his friend agreed, Li Huan hung up the phone.

Unknown to him, his friend dialed another number.

"She took the bait."

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Good."

...

Cheng Bei High School.

Lin Zhiyi had heard from Liu He that Aunt Yang’s daughter attended school at Cheng Bei High School.

Before the driver reached the school, he looked at Lin Zhiyi apologetically: "Miss, I’m sorry. The school is having a sports event these days; it’s really jam-packed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi lifted her eyes to look ahead.

Besides the swarm of students, there were also many parents who came specifically for their children’s sports day and vendors selling snacks.

Most schools in Jing City had their sports events serving as half-open days, giving the students more freedom.

Lin Zhiyi paid the fare and got off the car, glanced around, and slipped into a nearby accessory store to buy a baseball cap to wear.

Even though she had bodyguards protecting her from concealed positions, she was still afraid of being targeted.

However, she still underestimated the restlessness of youth; on just a short street, she was almost pushed forward by the crowd.

Finally, when she was only a few steps away from the school gate, a food delivery scooter suddenly drove onto the sidewalk, barely passing her by.

Lin Zhiyi had no time to dodge, and instinctively, before she toppled into the flowerbed, she immediately protected her belly.

At the critical moment, a hand pulled Lin Zhiyi back, her baseball cap falling off, and amidst her flying hair, she saw the man in front of her clearly.

Gong Chen, a change from his suit attire, was wearing a black hoodie with a hood on, pressing down his fringe to partially obscure his cold gaze.

He steadied Lin Zhiyi, picked up the baseball cap from the ground, and placed it on her head, fingers brushing past her earlobe and hair.

"Are you hurt?"
