Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Who Do You Look Like?
When Lin Zhiyi woke up again, it was already late at night.
She was both hungry and tired.
Thinking of Liao Yi and Xingxing at ho, she felt a bit guilty and quickly picked up her phone.
Unexpectedly, they had already sent her ssages.
“Don’t worry about us, I’ll take good care of Xingxing.”
“Mom, can I book a sister in advance?”
Lin Zhiyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already called Liao Yi and Xingxing.”
A man’s voice ca from behind her.
Lin Zhiyi turned over and saw the man standing in the room bare-chested.
His skin, slightly misty with water, was covered in scars, and he was slowly wrapping bandages around them.
When he wrapped to his waist, the sleep pants slid down slightly, revealing tight abs and a V-line pointing in a certain direction.
The black sleep pants covered his muscular legs.
And the pajamas were on Lin Zhiyi.
She swallowed with a dry mouth.
Gong Chen lowered his eyes, “I just poured you so water by the bedside.”
“Oh.”
Lin Zhiyi picked up the cup and drank vigorously.
Just then, Gong Chen turned around, revealing the scars on his back.
“Why does it seem more serious?” she asked.
Gong Chen nonchalantly said, “What do you think? I discovered you’re my nesis, besides biting, you like scratching.”
Pfft.
Lin Zhiyi almost spat out the water in her mouth.
She coughed twice, “I told you no… you still changed… serves you right.”
“Sotis you want it, sotis you don’t, it’s quite difficult for .”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, feeling her throat get even drier.
Gong Chen stopped teasing her, walked to the bedside, and directly picked her up.
Lin Zhiyi was startled.
“What are you doing?”
“I asked Chen Jin to prepare a little food. I’m carrying you to eat.”
Gong Chen’s pajama was long and big, perfect for Lin Zhiyi as a short nightgown.
“I can walk on my own.”
“Are you sure?” Gong Chen looked at her.
“Yes.”
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
Gong Chen didn’t speak, he directly put her down on the ground.
After taking a step, she felt weak in her legs and ached in her waist, almost falling.
Gong Chen predicted this and caught her from behind, carrying her to sit in front of the coffee table.
Lin Zhiyi explained, “It’s just a cramp from earlier today, not because of anything else.”
The man nodded with a smile, feeding her a bite of rice, speaking casually, “Because of Bai Ruoshu?”
Lin Zhiyi was montarily stunned, but then found it reasonable.
After all, nothing could be hidden from him.
“Yes, if I say Mrs. Bai is very malicious to , no, to and my mom, do you believe ?”
“I believe. Do you know why?” Gong Chen gave her a piece of at.
Lin Zhiyi shook her head.
Couldn’t think of any reason.
She dread of things from the past, but there was no trace to be found.
Gong Chen put down his chopsticks and took out a file from under the coffee table, handing it to Lin Zhiyi.
“Take a look.”
Lin Zhiyi suspiciously opened the file.
Inside were docunts about Bai Zhengxian.
Besides so business details, the rest was all about the won around Bai Zhengxian.
Without exception, they all resembled Lin Zhiyi.
Both in looks and spirit.
“Does he have so sort of collection hobby?”
Lin Zhiyi felt a bit bewildered looking at it.
“At least it shows there’s a reason why Mrs. Bai doesn’t like you,” Gong Chen explained.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously touched her face.
“Just because I resemble these won? But I don’t know President Bai.”
“Have you thought that these won were before you, aning Bai Zhengxian had this preference early on, not that they resemble you, but rather who do you all resemble?”
After Gong Chen’s analysis, Lin Zhiyi felt a chill on her back.
Looking alike is normal, but when it specifically resembles a stranger, it’s hard not to overthink.
She asked cautiously, “Who?”
“Don’t know yet, still checking,” Gong Chen replied truthfully, “But we did discover so interesting things.”
“What?”
“When the Bai Family sold all their assets dostically and went abroad back then, the reason didn’t seem so simple.”
Gong Chen flipped to a certain page in the file.
It turned out to be a page from a newspaper more than twenty years ago.
“Two wealthy businessn kidnapped during trip, ransom demanded and torn up paynt.”
Lin Zhiyi read the whole article and finally read out two words, “Bai soone.”
“Yes, Bai Zhengxian’s father was one of the businessn. After the incident, their entire family went abroad quietly. So said they couldn’t accept such a change, especially since the kidnapper was never caught.”
Lin Zhiyi imdiately understood Gong Chen’s implication.
“A relative was brutally killed, common people know to catch the culprit, why did they leave instead?”
“There isn’t much coverage here, but there is a report on police negligence, making their departure quite reasonable.”
Gong Chen pointed to a report below with his slender fingers.
The two key police officers in the kidnapping investigation were both demoted.
Lin Zhiyi felt inexplicably uncomfortable after reading it.
“This… seems a bit too reasonable.”
Gong Chen pulled Lin Zhiyi into his arms, resting his handso face on her shoulder, his voice deep and calm.
“I’ve already asked soone to keep investigating, but after the kidnapping, Bai Zhengxian stayed abroad, finding out the situation there won’t be easy, it will take so ti.”
While speaking, his warm breath lingered near Lin Zhiyi’s ear.
Even without turning her head, she could feel the man’s gaze intently fixed on her.
The possessiveness in his eyes was unabashed, like a tide surging forth.
Her ear tips turned red, and she earnestly said, “Got it, I’ll definitely protect myself. If I encounter the Bai Family again, I’ll steer clear and won’t be confrontational like I was today.”
Gong Chen nodded satisfactorily, his hand circling from her waist down.
Lin Zhiyi was montarily surprised, “I, I won’t do it again, I haven’t eaten enough yet.”
“Look at your foot. You always do this, hurting yourself to deal with others.”
Gong Chen lifted her foot, his palm gently massaging her ankle.
Lin Zhiyi’s skin felt ticklish, as did her heart.
“Not doing this next ti.”
Gong Chen raised an eyebrow.
Lin Zhiyi imdiately corrected, “There won’t be a next ti.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
An urgent phone ringing broke the quiet room.
Gong Chen picked up the phone and answered.
Listening to the voice on the other side, his face gradually beca somber.
“How is she?”
“I’ll be right over.”
As he put down the phone, Lin Zhiyi leaned over.
“What happened?”
“Ren Xiya was stabbed on the bed.”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi was dumbfounded.
Wait a minute.
Stabbed where?
On the bed?
…
A few hours earlier.
Ren Xiya, slightly drunk, entered a hotel with a handso guy with eight-pack abs.
Won.
Being lustful isn’t a bad thing.
A good al gives you more motivation to work.
Who wants to work hard all day and co ho to sothing ugly?
Ren Xiya wasn’t raised with traditional Chinese education, dating in her teens abroad was normal.
Today she had a light buzz, found an eye-pleasing handso guy.
After entering, the handso guy placed her on the bed.
Whispered tenderly in her ear, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Mm.”
Ren Xiya pressed her long lashes down, her index finger tapping on the man’s chest.
After the man entered the bathroom, he soon ca out wrapped in a towel, with one hand hidden behind, approaching the dimly lit bed.
Seeing the bulge on the bed, the hand behind him slowly lifted, revealing a gleaming knife, and stabbed down without hesitation.
Only to find it was just a pillow under the blanket.
“Tsk tsk, what a pity, nice body.”
On the other side of the couch, Ren Xiya crossed her legs, admiring the man’s physique.
