Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 946: No One Can Change Fate

Upon hearing it, Lin Zhiyi realized that the buckets Xingxing spoke of earlier were now all tipped over in the corner.

The remnants of torn cloth and furniture had already been doused with oil.

No wonder there was a stench upon entering.

She had thought it was because the place had been closed off for too long, causing a lack of airflow.

Thinking about it, she immediately pushed Liu He.

"Quickly, go!"

Liu He couldn’t think too much, turning to run.

But who would have thought Shirley, despite her broken arm, rushed directly at Liu He.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen rushed over simultaneously, but they couldn’t match Shirley’s madness.

"You all have to die!"

Gong Chen grabbed Shirley, buying some time.

But Shirley was more familiar with the environment here than they were; even as Gong Chen held her, she used the room’s chaotic layout to escape.

In the dim light, she expertly grabbed a handful of dust and threw it into Gong Chen’s eyes.

Gong Chen turned his head to avoid it, and Shirley spun around to grab Liu He.

Lin Zhiyi blocked her but was hit by a table in the stomach.

She immediately doubled over in pain.

Gong Chen reached out to pull Lin Zhiyi, preventing her from being pushed by Shirley against the wall with the table.

Fortunately, Liu He and the children had run out.

But Shirley slammed the door shut, smashing the handle with a stool, causing it to lock and making it impossible to open from inside.

This place was clearly rundown, yet the lock still worked unexpectedly.

It seemed Shirley had already scouted out the place; the oil must have been prepared in advance. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She never intended to let anyone escape.

Shirley turned towards the lamp, revealing a cruel smile.

"Running away doesn’t matter; the Gong Family relies entirely on the Third Young Master now. Without him, chaos will surely follow."

"And you..." Shirley looked at Lin Zhiyi, smiling, "You should thank me for achieving what you couldn’t before, letting both of you die together."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi paused and turned to look at Xia Wan sitting on the floor.

Xia Wan nodded helplessly.

It seemed Xia Wan had told Shirley about the reincarnation.

This might be one of the reasons Shirley broke down so quickly.

Despite her sister being reborn, she couldn’t change her fate in two lifetimes.

And now discovering that her past persistence was all wrong.

How could she bear it?

Realizing the danger, Lin Zhiyi clenched Gong Chen’s hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Gong Chen observed the surroundings.

As a haunted house, there couldn’t just be an entrance; there must be an exit somewhere.

Though the place was chaotic, the traces of oil on the floor clearly led in one direction.

Gong Chen looked in that direction and found a door behind the fallen cabinet.

That should be the door leading to the next stage; following it should lead them out.

Gong Chen drew two lines on Lin Zhiyi’s palm.

Lin Zhiyi immediately understood.

The two stood together, slowly approaching the cabinet blocking the door.

At this moment, Xia Wan stood up weakly.

"Shirley, if you want to blame someone, blame me. Don’t make more mistakes; let’s talk it over once we get out, okay?"

"Talk about what? You’ve changed. You told me you’d avenge our family, but now you’re full of lies!"

Shirley still refused to believe the truth.

Taking advantage of the sisters talking, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen had reached the cabinet.

Just as they were about to move the cabinet, Shirley shouted.

"Don’t move!"

Shirley lit the lighter and waved it in front of them.

"If anyone dares to move, I’ll set this place on fire—do you really think I’m stupid? You two are standing right on top of the oil."

"You want to leave? Impossible!"

Xia Wan, nervous, said, "Shirley, don’t do this."

Shirley waved the lighter: "Sis, you kill them, I’ll take you out, and it’ll count as avenging our parents."

"..."

Xia Wan was stunned, as if she didn’t recognize her sister.

Clearly, she was so fragile.

Shirley slowly approached, "Won’t kill? Then forget it, I’ll do it myself."

Xia Wan immediately said, "Shirley, if you set this place on fire, you won’t be able to escape either."

Shirley didn’t respond, just smiled.

"I once yearned to escape, and hoped you’d come to get me, just like long, long ago—no matter how angry I got, you would come find me, and then appear with the food I love."

"But I waited and waited, waited and waited, why didn’t you show up?"

Upon hearing this, tears started flowing from Xia Wan’s eyes, mumbling apologies.

Shirley’s eyes grew dark: "Later, I finally escaped, but why wouldn’t the world let me go? Everywhere feels like the shadow of that couple; everyone resembles that couple; they’re always following me."

She stared sharply at the people in front of her.

"I must get rid of them, understand?"

Seeing her frightening expression, Lin Zhiyi stepped back, realizing Shirley was already deeply unwell.

Shirley’s target wasn’t just them, but also herself.

Lin Zhiyi glanced at Gong Chen, who seemed to be murmuring something.

Before she reacted, Shirley had stealthily come in front of them.

Once Shirley let go, the place would surely catch fire immediately.

In this sealed space, even if they weren’t burned to death, they’d suffocate.

At this moment, Gong Chen squeezed her hand.

She instinctively blew forcefully in Shirley’s direction.

Gong Chen switched off the lamp and kicked Shirley away.

In the darkness, Lin Zhiyi was pulled over by Gong Chen, and the door previously blocked by the cabinet was kicked open by outside force.

It was Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin.

They took another route.

"Go!"

Gong Chen pulled Lin Zhiyi and ran towards the door.

Lin Zhiyi shouted at Xia Wan, "Quickly, go."

Xia Wan still wanted to pull Shirley.

Unbeknownst to her, Shirley, collapsed, immediately lit the oil on the floor.

Flames suddenly roared up.

"Burn you all! Burn you all! I want you to suffer like me!"

Fire licked closer, almost reaching Xia Wan.

Chen Jin reached out and pulled Xia Wan out.

Xia Wan shouted, "Shirley! Shirley!"

Shirley laughed heartily: "Die, all of you. No one can change fate."

Xia Wan was led out of the room by Chen Jin.

But the surroundings began to shake.

Zhou Zhao steadied himself against a wall, "Go, the house is about to collapse."

Everyone staggered, struggling to get downstairs.

Approaching the exit, the stairs behind them suddenly crumbled.

All the walls pressed towards them.

Lin Zhiyi was suddenly pushed by a force, while Gong Chen, who was pulling her, released their hand.

The wall that was supposed to fall on her crushed Gong Chen instead.

"Third Young Master!"

"Get out! Go!"

Gong Chen extended his hand to push her away.

Lin Zhiyi gritted her teeth, "Shut up! Help!"

Rather than shoving, there was still time to spare.

Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao turned around, one using their hand, the other picking up an iron rod from the ground.

The three exerted all their strength, their eyes almost full of blood.

Finally, the wall loosened.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed Gong Chen’s hand and pulled him out.

Gong Chen also exerted a force, and as the building collapsed, they rushed out covered in dust.

Fortunately, Gong Chen’s foot was only slightly crushed, not seriously.

Lin Zhiyi wiped the dust off her face, coughed a few times, and pointed at Zhou Zhao.

Zhou Zhao waved his hand, "I’m fine."

"Assistant Zhou, your shoulder..."

"What..." Zhou Zhao reached out, pulling a ghost head hanging from his shoulder, "Ah! A ghost!"

He jumped directly beside Chen Jin.

Chen Jin kicked the ghost head away.

"Hmm, not afraid of ghosts."
