Chapter 561: Chapter 561 Feeling Pretty Good
Lin Zhiyi briefly explained what happened.
Li Huan connected it to the police’s explanation, slightly surprised: “Is there such a coincidence in the world? What was Bai Ruoshu doing at Gong Group? The Third Young Master wasn’t even there.”
“I know this.” Liao Yi took out his phone, searching as he explained, “Bai Ruoshu has been with Gong Yao these past few days, can’t be more ambiguous, obviously thinking the Third Young Master is dead, so… huh? Why’s the trending topic gone?”
She spread out her phone, not even the nas Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao appeared together.
Lin Zhiyi wasn’t surprised.
“Now that the Third Young Master is back, Bai Ruoshu naturally has to plan for herself.”
Li Huan looked up at the tightly closed examination room on the other side, then at Lin Zhiyi, pondering for a mont.
“Lin Zhiyi, are you saying…”
Lin Zhiyi nodded, but looked troubled.
“Hmm, but apparently others don’t believe it. After all, if Ye Feifei had stabbed a little deeper, Bai Ruoshu’s hand would be crippled.”
“Plus, Bai Ruoshu and Ye Feifei don’t even know each other, not even a word exchanged, the only connection is .”
Liao Yi imdiately interjected: “It’s not like you asked her to save, this…”
Unable to finish, she trailed off.
Because she realized this might seem ungrateful.
She couldn’t say it, and neither could Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi sighed: “To others, Bai Ruoshu’s injury implicates .”
Just as the words fell, before Liao Yi and Li Huan could even sigh, they were interrupted by an angry voice.
“My daughter nearly had her arm ruined because of you?”
It was Bai Ruoshu’s mother, Yang Jingwei, speaking.
“You’re also a jewelry designer; do you know how important a hand is to Ruoshu?”
“Lin Zhiyi, you went too far!”
Yang Jingwei ca rushing up, raising her hand towards Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi instinctively raised her hand to block, but soone was faster.
Yang Jingwei’s hand barely lifted before it was grabbed from behind, the pain contorting her expression.
She turned to look.
“Third, Third Young Master.”
“If you want to settle accounts, go to Ye Feifei.” Gong Chen looked down at Yang Jingwei.
“But Lin Zhiyi admitted she implicated Ruoshu.”
Yang Jingwei said, tearfully.
Gong Chen said flatly, “She didn’t hand the fork to Ye Feifei.”
“…”
Yang Jingwei paused for a mont.
Lin Zhiyi wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but Yang Jingwei’s eyes flickered slightly at the ntion of the fork.
But soon, she blinked and pulled her hand back to wipe her tears.
“Third Young Master, sorry, I lost my composure.”
“I’m so angry because Ruoshu was very worried about you, going to the river or waiting at Gong Group for news. Even when paparazzi spread rumors online about her and Gong Yao, she didn’t bother to care.”
“Now, she’s finally waiting for your return, but then this happened…”
“As a mother, my heart aches for her.”
Yang Jingwei burst into tears.
It was truly touching.
If Lin Zhiyi hadn’t seen Bai Ruoshu say the words ‘condolences for your loss’ to her in the morning with her own eyes.
She would be sighing and admiring Bai Ruoshu’s deep affection.
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to retort, Gong Chen stepped in front of her.
“Mrs. Bai, I didn’t ask you. If you’re so heartbroken, why haven’t you gone to see Miss Bai yet?”
Yang Jingwei froze her tears at the corner of her eye but hid it well, lowering her eyes and nodding, humble and gentle.
“Goodbye.”
She glanced at Lin Zhiyi before leaving.
A faint scent of perfu wafted under Lin Zhiyi’s nose.
Slled like orchids.
Before she could take a deeper breath, Gong Chen’s presence dominated nearby.
She looked up, pursing her lips: “Doesn’t Miss Bai need you to accompany her?”
“Jealous?” Gong Chen retorted directly.
Lin Zhiyi’s ears heated up as she stubbornly said: “No, I just wanted to say what Mrs. Bai said…”
She hesitated, not knowing how to tell Gong Chen that Yang Jingwei was lying.
The business with Gong Yao and Bai Ruoshu was all stirred by paparazzi; who knows the truth?
Even the words ‘condolences for your loss’ were silently mouthed by Bai Ruoshu to her.
Gong Chen found Lin Zhiyi’s awkwardness amusing, the coldness on his face softened sowhat.
“Mrs. Bai’s words were strange?”
“You think so too? I thought you stopping from speaking was because…” Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips.
“Because of Bai Ruoshu?” Gong Chen lowered his eyes.
“…”
Ugh, nothing gets past him.
Gong Chen pinched Lin Zhiyi’s hand, whispering: “Mrs. Bai’s words were deliberately ant to provoke you. If you retort in public, people around might think you’re ungrateful. After all, Bai Ruoshu ended up in the hospital saving you. Any further conflict would always appear to be your fault.”
Lin Zhiyi swallowed hard, nodding, but still felt aggrieved inside.
“I don’t understand, why did Ye Feifei suddenly go crazy?”
“Ye Feifei’s in a state of drug withdrawal, still not in her right mind. We can’t get anything from her now. But I’ve already asked Ren Xiya to check the hall surveillance.” Gong Chen explained.
They had to wait a bit longer then.
Having said that, the curious Liao Yi leaned in.
“Can I ask a few questions? Since Ye Feifei hated Zhiyi so much, why would she turn against her publicly today?”
Lin Zhiyi was curious too.
When Ye Feifei appeared in the conference room, she was actually quite worried.
Li Huan explained: “It’s simple, Assistant Chen’s first task at the manor was to find Ye Feifei and tell her Gong Yao planned to kill and silence her. If she wanted to stay alive, her best option was to feign madness and help the Third Young Master. Of course, she didn’t believe it. But then Wen Qing almost got burned to death. Could she not be scared?”
Liao Yi acknowledged with an “Oh,” nodding as if in agreent.
“And you? On the way to the hospital with Zhou Zhao, he kept babbling about you giving the Third Young Master an injection. What kind of injection was it?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi got interested too.
“Right, Li Huan, how did you switch the dicine right under Gong Yao’s nose?”
Gong Yao was quite cautious and would definitely watch Li Huan’s injections.
Switching the dicine wasn’t an easy task.
Li Huan secretly brought out the little dical kit he always carried with him. Opening it, inside were regular dicines and syringes.
“You see?” He displayed.
Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi nodded.
Li Huan said nothing, closed the kit, and then opened it again.
Liao Yi pouted, clicking his tongue: “I thought you were going to do so magic; there’s nothing special here.”
However, Lin Zhiyi noticed the trick, speaking in a voice only they could hear: “A hidden compartnt.”
“Huh?” Liao Yi, surprised, looked at the dical kit in front of her. “Aren’t they identical?”
“The labels on the dicine boxes changed.” Lin Zhiyi pointed to the label in the corner of the dicine box inside.
Li Huan nodded: “Actually, switching the dicine was simple. It only required coordination with the Third Young Master. Before each injection, the Third Young Master just had to distract Gong Yao, while I would switch the syringe using an identical hidden compartnt.”
Liao Yi was curious: “Then what did you inject?”
“Of course, it was sothing great for boosting health.” Li Huan looked at Lin Zhiyi, raising an eyebrow, “You must have noticed?”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi suddenly understood, her neck turning red.
She thought about how Gong Chen had been locked up for days but aside from looking pale, seed to be physically fine.
Who would have thought, being imprisoned ca with extra supplents?
Lin Zhiyi tugged at the man’s suit beside her, signaling for him to explain.
The man thought for a mont, speaking in a deep voice: “Feels pretty good.”
Lin Zhiyi: “…”
