Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Lin Zhiyi, How Does It Feel to Be Burned Alive?

Maybe the Xia sisters really misunderstood something.

After all, when it happened, the Xia sisters were too young.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward and said, "President Xia, you finally revealed your purpose. You approached me just to set me up."

"Yes, thank you for helping us here."

Xia Wan’s face was indifferent.

Lin Zhiyi said, "You? You admit that Shirley is your sister, Xia Xue."

"It seems you found out quite a lot during the two days you disappeared. So what? Do you have any evidence?"

Xia Wan sneered.

Lin Zhiyi took a photo from her bag and handed over a photo of her and Shirley together.

"President Xia, don’t let your sister go astray."

Xia Wan looked at the photo, froze slightly, then something flickered in her eyes.

Moments later, she didn’t take the photo.

"What right do you have to say we’re wrong? What about their wrongdoings? Who forgave them? Do you even know what they did wrong?"

Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips together, knowing she indeed had no right.

"President Xia, you actually misunderstood..."

"Misunderstood! Misunderstood what? Go ahead, say it!" Xia Wan looked around and questioned loudly.

"..."

Before Lin Zhiyi could speak to explain, Xia Wan chuckled coldly.

"Is it a misunderstanding that our family ended up like that, deservedly so?"

"Or is it a misunderstanding that my sister and I were abandoned?"

"Or perhaps every step of suffering in my sister’s and my growth was just a misunderstanding?"

As she spoke, she stepped closer to Lin Zhiyi.

Gong Chen was about to step forward to stop her but was stopped by Lin Zhiyi raising her hand.

As each word fell, Xia Wan stood right in front of Lin Zhiyi.

She whispered softly, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"So you and your daughter died from a misunderstanding too?"

"Lin Zhiyi, how does it feel to burn?"

"It’s not a misunderstanding, it’s sin. Such sins can kill people. Like you, like..."

She lowered her eyes, staring at the stunned Lin Zhiyi, leaving the sentence incomplete.

Lin Zhiyi suddenly looked up, meeting Xia Wan’s gaze.

Sure enough, Xia Wan was just like her.

Both are reborn people.

In her previous life, she also died.

Such powerless resistance after rebirth, and eyes that can only persevere through clenched teeth, left Lin Zhiyi unable to retort.

She retreated weakly two steps backward.

Xia Wan took a deep breath, glancing at the seated Old Mr. Gong.

"Is it still a misunderstanding?"

Old Mr. Gong tightly pursed his lips, still unwilling to say a word.

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to collapse, Gong Chen supported her.

She clutched Gong Chen’s arm tightly, lowering her voice, "Investigate her real life after marriage, that President Sun is still hiding something."

Gong Chen nodded, quickly sending a message with his other hand.

And glanced sideways at Gong Shiyan.

Gong Shiyan cooperated and stepped forward, "President Xia, I don’t care about your Xia family or Old Mr. Gong’s matters, Liu He and my son are also pitiful, irrelevant to the whole thing, can you let them go?"

"Oh?" Xia Wan countered, "You just want me to let your wife and child go? What about Third Young Master’s child?"

She threw the question back to Gong Shiyan.

Gong Shiyan hesitated, his eyes constantly glancing at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.

Lin Zhiyi reacted quickly, slipping down to seat herself at Gong Shiyan’s feet.

"Uncle, don’t do this. Xingxing has nothing to do with it either. Her health isn’t good, please save her first."

"Zhiyi... Uncle can’t help it either. Your brother was born prematurely, your mom is overly sentimental, I really can’t rest assured with them."

Gong Shiyan’s words already showed his choice.

Xia Wan watched the two of them speak in turn, enjoying the sight of such division.

Suddenly, an idea sprang to her mind.

She intensified her voice, "You’d better hurry up and make a choice, either release Liu He and her son, or release Xingxing."

Lin Zhiyi tearfully pleaded, "Uncle! Save Xingxing!"

But Gong Shiyan loudly declared, "President Xia, I will save my wife and child!"

Gong Chen forcefully pushed Gong Shiyan aside, "Save Xingxing!"

"Absolutely not!" Gong Shiyan resisted.

Their argument caused Xia Wan to laugh heartily.

She turned to look at the silent Old Mr. Gong.

"Old Mr. Gong, did you ever think you’d see the day your two most proud sons are torn apart? You really failed! Sent to a nursing home by your sons in old age, now divisions at your doorstep, your Gong family will fall just like you orchestrated to ruin my Xia family back then! Serves you right!"

Xia Wan’s laughter grew louder, though a hint of bitterness could be heard in her voice.

Old Mr. Gong slammed the coffee table heavily.

"Enough! Your Xia family deserved bankruptcy! Besides, do you have any evidence that I did anything to your Xia family?"

Xia Wan’s smile was terrifying, unable to accept that Old Mr. Gong still denied everything!

"I have evidence! Are you saying you never harmed the Xia family?"

"No!" Old Mr. Gong gritted.

Xia Wan inhaled silently, looking at the three of them.

"Today, let’s have a good look at the true face of Old Mr. Gong."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi pretended to wipe her tears, glancing at Gong Chen and Gong Shiyan.

All of them were acting.

Because Gong Chen discovered that Xia Wan’s ultimate goal wasn’t to kill them, but to have them meet the same end as the Xia family.

Brother against brother, life and death struggle, causing Old Mr. Gong agony.

So when Lin Zhiyi heard Gong Shiyan was only willing to save Liu He and his son, she understood how the play should unfold.

They had no idea what else Xia Wan had in her hands, this was the most direct method.

Sure enough.

When Xia Wan took out her phone and cast the video on the TV, her hand was trembling.

In the next second, there was a video of a strange man begging for mercy on the screen.

"It was Old Mr. Gong who had us deal with the Xia family!"

"While asking President Xia for more money, he was not allowed to help President Xia, who had to borrow from loan sharks."

"Having no recourse, he jumped to his death."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t recognize the man and glanced at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen whispered, "That’s the man who overdosed on drugs abroad."

It indeed was the work of the sisters.

Xia Wan coldly said, "Old Mr. Gong, people speak kindly near death, I imagine if this video spreads, not only will you lose face, the entire Gong family will be utterly disgraced."

Old Mr. Gong remained silent.

Gong Chen scoffed, "President Xia, I thought you were smart, this man overdosing abroad isn’t news, a person speaking nonsense on drugs is quite normal, I have a hundred reasons to make others disbelieve his words."

Xia Wan probably didn’t expect Gong Chen to be so cheeky, even so blatant.

Her face turned blue with anger.

"Truly one family, extremely insidious! It seems Third Young Master has no intention of saving his daughter."

"Xia Wan, if anything happens to my daughter, your sister will surely pay the price. After being apart from you for so many years and finally reuniting, yet getting buried because of these tricks, who will be breathing guilt apart from me?"

Gong Chen’s expression was no joke, he meant business.

"Don’t you dare touch my sister! You’ve ruined her already! You’ve ruined my family! Evidence, right? I’ll give you!"

Xia Wan, trembling all over, opened another video.

It seemed to be footage from an old camera.

Xia Wan had processed the video, covering the bodies of the men and women, showing only the man’s head.

One after another, mixed with a woman’s screaming and begging for mercy.

Lin Zhiyi immediately turned her face away, unable to watch.

Because she recognized the woman as Xia Wan’s mother.

Xia Wan tugged at her hair, also unable to look.

Only when it was finally over did Lin Zhiyi notice Gong Chen’s expression was off and looked over.

Unexpectedly, the man who entered the room last was none other than Old Mr. Gong!

He snatched the woman on the bed into his arms, then turned off the camera, but that shot was enough.

Old Mr. Wang clearly said Old Mr. Gong did not...

No, the Wang family’s cooperation also depended on the Gong family, how dare they speak ill of Old Mr. Gong?
