Gong Chen’s calm and collected expression said it all.
He knows everything.
Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi’s furious expression and pulled her closer to explain directly.
"I didn’t expect to find anything, the records are in the hospital, any slight movent and the director would know. I just wanted to see how deep his ties with Mrs. Bai run."
"But that’s just my guess, I don’t want to add unnecessary troubles for you."
"However, the credit goes to you and Li Huan, you found unexpected evidence."
"Now it seems that there must be more secrets between the director and Yang Jingwei. Bai Ruoshu’s birth at seven months might not have been just a simple premature birth back then."
Seeing this, Li Huan leaned in.
"And ? Aren’t you going to explain to ?"
"Want to pull you aside and explain?" Gong Chen glanced at him.
"Alright then."
Li Huan reached out his hand.
Gong Chen squinted and shoved a cup of tea into his hand: "Thank you, Doctor Li."
Li Huan, easily pleased, laughed: "No need to thank . It’s good that you didn’t say anything, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to fool my colleagues, much less the director."
Just so happens, the director saw through his anxious actions, which is why he dared to alter dical records recklessly.
But this precisely shows that the relationship between the director and Yang Jingwei isn’t just that of simple friends.
Lin Zhiyi snapped out of it, looked at Gong Chen, and asked: "Third Young Master, you ntioned abroad earlier, did sothing happen abroad?"
Gong Chen nodded, but his expression darkened.
He didn’t speak, Chen Jin explained the situation abroad for him.
"Those who are snooping abroad have not returned."
"What?" Lin Zhiyi was so shocked that so tea spilled from her hands.
Liao Yi was quick to react, imdiately covering Xingxing’s ears and pulling her aside.
Even though he knew Xingxing wouldn’t understand, he was afraid she’d be curious and ask.
Lin Zhiyi softly asked the question: "What do you an by ’have not returned’?"
"Literally, all have lost contact, likely t with ill fate." Chen Jin continued, "Not only that, even if we ask openly, those people remain silent, clearly unwilling to talk about the Bai Family. This should be the Bai Family’s warning, so the Third Young Master thought of using the opportunity to investigate Mrs. Bai, making them think we’ve shifted focus to dostic matters."
Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath: "What exactly does this Bai Family do? Such great influence overseas."
"Their industry is fairly diverse, but in recent years they’ve invested heavily in the art industry, their most successful investnt being Miss Bai." Chen Jin explained.
No wonder Bai Ruoshu’s new product release received so much publicity help.
Gong Chen squeezed Lin Zhiyi’s hand, his gentle voice slowly entering her ears.
"As long as it’s a person, there will be traces to find."
"Hmm."
After the conversation, the Aunt opened the door and ca in.
Seeing Gong Chen back, she hurriedly greeted them.
"Third Young Master, Doctor Li, Assistant Chen, you’re all here, I’ll make so extra dishes, please wait a mont."
Li Huan raised his hand to refuse, but Lin Zhiyi stopped him.
"You’ve been running around, surely we can’t not treat you to a al?"
Li Huan didn’t refuse further.
Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi quickly tidied up.
Just in ti for Li Huan to notice the letters Liao Yi had written on the table.
"What’s this?"
"Before you ca, Zhiyi and I were looking at Bai Ruoshu’s Christmas limited jewelry, I even joked that Bai Ruoshu loves letter elents, her last two new products both include them, Zhiyi asked to write them down to see what they represent, but I only got halfway when you arrived."
Liao Yi pointed to the letters on the sketch paper.
Li Huan exclaid: "Bai Ruoshu released new products that quickly?"
"Not just that, the style is vastly different from before."
Liao Yi simply projected the photos of the new products onto the TV screen.
Li Huan approached the TV, pointing at the letters hanging from the necklace.
"You’re writing them in the wrong order."
"I often read comic books, the reading direction is different from yours." Liao Yi pouted.
She often reads her treasured old comic books, and gradually forgot to change the reading direction.
Li Huan pointed at the letters: "It should be L, A, E, Z, N, I, L, which doesn’t an anything."
"Then below it is I, H, Z, T, O, H."
"And the last row, F, L, E, I, Y, I realized it’s just a bunch of aningless letters."
Liao Yi rested her chin: "It really is. Could it be to look more casual, deliberately chosen this way? After all, it is detachable to wear, aid at stars and those free-spirited heiresses."
Indeed.
These people love personality.
But...
Lin Zhiyi stared intently at the enlarged photo, feeling that she had overlooked sothing.
So engrossed that she didn’t notice when Gong Chen stood by her side.
"See anything?"
Lin Zhiyi snapped back to reality, looked up at the man, and shared her thoughts.
"Design is a reflection of the designer’s inner thoughts. What was Bai Ruoshu thinking when using these letters? Can you tell?"
Gong Chen, being so smart, certainly could figure it out.
He faintly smiled, shook his head.
"Zhiyi, you’ve imagined to be too talented, I’m not omniscient, I don’t understand jewelry design, but you’re a jewelry designer, why not give it a thought?"
Lin Zhiyi nodded, thoughtfully pinching her chin.
"The style of these letters resembles strears, and just happens to be the decoration wrapped around a Christmas tree..."
As she spoke, she paused.
"Wrapped?"
She thought of sothing, took the paper from Li Huan’s hand, and wrapped it in a strear-like manner.
Then wound it round and round into a spiral shape.
"If this is the case, then Liao Yigang’s reading direction was correct, which ans..."
Gong Chen picked up a pen and rearranged the letters.
LINZEAL, HOTZHI, YIELF.
Lin Zhiyi and the others gathered closer, looking left and right.
Didn’t see anything.
"It’s aningless too."
Gong Chen squinted, then crossed out three words with the pen.
Zeal, hot, elf.
Finally, circled three words in a diagonal direction.
Lin Zhiyi followed suit: "Then what remains is, linzhiyi? My na?"
Liao Yi chuckled: "What’s up with this Bai Ruoshu? Is it necessary to take cryptic shots at Zhiyi?"
"Which of those three words is cryptic? Such great lengths for it." Li Huan countered.
"..."
Liao Yi was puzzled.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t understand either.
Why would Bai Ruoshu hide her na in the necklace?
Gong Chen coldly stated: "What if this is ant for Zhiyi? Those unfamiliar with design wouldn’t think of this."
"For ?"
Lin Zhiyi hesitatedly stared at the necklace on the screen.
Suddenly, the hem of her dress was tugged.
She looked down and found Xingxing handing her a drawing.
"Mom, look, is my drawing good?"
Lin Zhiyi took the drawing, surprised to find it was the controversial new jewelry of Bai Ruoshu from a few days ago.
There were quite a few letters on it too.
Liao Yi leaned in to take a look and explained: "No doubt, when I was arguing online a few days ago, Xingxing saw those jewels, didn’t expect the drawing is quite good, the letters match."
Letters?
