Lin Zhiyi was slightly stunned for a few seconds, seeing her own reflection in Gong Chen’s eyes.
It felt as if he had seen right through her.
She thought of the accompanying bodyguards, surely they had noticed sothing.
Lin Zhiyi pulled Gong Chen into the study and said helplessly, "Lin Fan ca to see ."
Gong Chen didn’t look surprised.
"After going through so much to et you and your mom, he left so easily. It’s possible he left so leverage."
"He intends to break us one by one, probably trying to test the trust between and my mom. Seeing that the family angle didn’t work, he’s now trying to manipulate one of us." Lin Zhiyi analyzed.
Gong Chen frowned slightly, "Manipulate?"
Lin Zhiyi opened her phone and handed over a surveillance screenshot.
"I know the owner of this dessert shop, so I specifically chose a position where the surveillance could see everything. This is the photo he took out to threaten . I’ve examined it; it’s not fake."
Gong Chen looked at the person in the photo, a bit surprised.
Indeed, as Lin Fan said, Liu He was being very proactive.
However, after years of knowing her, Liu He is actually very timid.
The biggest thing she ever did was endure the stigma of having a child out of wedlock to raise Lin Zhiyi.
She couldn’t possibly have any involvent with Wei Xiaoyun’s man.
But now, the investigation around Lin Fan is truly bizarre.
Lin Fan has had no traceable life for twenty years.
He seems to have just appeared out of thin air.
Although Gong Chen is very clear that his appearance is definitely related to Yang Jingwei, there’s currently no traceable connection between them.
Seeing Gong Chen in silence, Lin Zhiyi asked, "Third Young Master, what’s wrong?"
Gong Chen returned to his senses, "Your mom isn’t that kind of person."
Lin Zhiyi nodded, expressing complete trust in Liu He.
"I’ve looked closely at this photo. I feel there’s sothing off with the angle."
Gong Chen enlarged the photo and indeed found the angle sowhat strange.
"This angle doesn’t seem to be the angle when the door is open; it looks more like it was taken secretly."
"Right, see this blurry shadow? It looks like the lens is being blocked by sothing. If my mom was proactive, why would this need to be secretly photographed?" Lin Zhiyi confidently stated.
Hearing this, Gong Chen interrupted her speculation.
"Zhiyi, you can say it was secretly taken, but that only proves the man is despicable. It doesn’t prove what your mom said or did in the lens."
"So should we let him have a grip over my mom? My mom’s current life wasn’t easy to co by either."
The more Lin Zhiyi spoke, the angrier she got.
Gong Chen placed both hands on her shoulders, giving a gentle squeeze.
"Calm down, what you’re saying isn’t entirely useless, like this shadow in the lens."
Lin Zhiyi stared at the screen.
Because the photo was taken with a phone from over twenty years ago, the resolution is inherently average, making the shadow even more blurry.
She really couldn’t make out much.
"Is it possible it’s so foliage? Like one of those small surveillance devices hidden in a potted plant?"
"Over twenty years ago, secret caras weren’t as advanced as you think. Unless you’re dealing with a professional, why bother with such expensive equipnt?" Gong Chen retorted.
True.
Back then, even though Liu He and Wei Xiaoyun were saleswon in high-end malls, in a bustling place like Jing City, they didn’t really stand out.
Gong Chen, seeing Lin Zhiyi troubled, led her to the desk.
"Give your phone."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi handed over the phone.
Gong Chen transferred the photo to the computer and opened it with software.
After so restoration, though the shadow was still a shadow, it was clearer than before.
Gong Chen zood in slightly, "It does look like a leaf, but what kind of leaf is transparent?"
After looking at the processed photo, Lin Zhiyi no longer thought it was foliage.
After hearing Gong Chen’s remarks, she secretly smiled.
"No, this is definitely not foliage, it’s lace."
Gong Chen paused.
"Lace?"
"Like the lace on a dress," Lin Zhiyi explained.
Gong Chen nodded earnestly, "Got it, like the material from your nightdress I pulled off... uh."
Lin Zhiyi quickly covered his mouth, glaring at him, "Who asked you to explain so clearly?"
Gong Chen pulled her hand down, "I haven’t seen another woman’s lace dress."
Lin Zhiyi’s face flushed, changing the subject.
"I’m serious, this really is lace."
"Hmm." Gong Chen said, "This angle happens to be right opposite your mom, suggesting there was soone else in front of your mom at the ti."
"The person wearing lace isn’t likely to be Lin Fan, this big man, so there might have been another woman in the room, and she knew Liu He, otherwise why would Liu He be in a nightdress to et her? But who could it be?" Lin Zhiyi pondered.
Gong Chen already had an answer in his heart.
Wei Xiaoyun.
Liu He had ntioned that she and Wei Xiaoyun had shared a place for a while.
Two won wearing nightdresses at ho is perfectly normal.
But Liu He was unknowingly photographed by Lin Fan in the room.
In that case, Lin Fan’s words might be true.
He must have many more secretly taken photos.
Gong Chen watched Lin Zhiyi fixate on the computer screen.
He encircled her waist, pulling her onto his lap.
His chin resting on her shoulder.
"I’ll find soone to investigate properly. Can you focus on for now?"
Lin Zhiyi turned to look at him.
"What’s up? Hubby..."
With that, Gong Chen’s grip tightened, his eyes turning exceptionally fervent.
His voice turned hoarse, "Say it again."
"No way."
Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips together, unwilling to utter another word.
Gong Chen squinted, eyes swirling with an undeniable intensity.
"No problem, I’ll pry open your mouth."
"..."
At first, Lin Zhiyi felt smug, thinking she would never give in so easily.
But in the very next mont, she regretted it.
Gong Chen really did pry open her mouth, with his own.
After the kiss ended.
Lin Zhiyi was a bit breathless.
"You... you cheated."
"It’s not your first day knowing , I won’t stop until I achieve my goal. Keep going."
"What..."
"Say it."
At the crucial mont, Gong Chen restrained himself, deliberately stopping at Lin Zhiyi’s lips.
The warm breath lingered on her lips.
Lin Zhiyi steadied her breath, "No."
Gong Chen kissed her again and again...
Until she was completely dazed, and finally spoke lowly, "Hubby."
"Say it again."
"Hubby."
"..."
In the end, Lin Zhiyi’s throat felt dry.
She didn’t have the mind to think about Lin Fan’s matter at all.
...
Late at night.
Gong Chen covered Lin Zhiyi with the quilt, brushing his fingers over her ring.
Until the silent glow of the phone by the bed.
He quietly got out of bed, taking the phone back to the study.
The computer still displayed that photo.
Connecting the call, Chen Jin’s lowered voice sounded.
"Third Young Master, Captain Xing said Yang Jingwei has only t with her lawyer in the past two days. Their conversation wasn’t out of the ordinary, but she went to a special place, the art gallery that was previously investigated."
"Go check it out tomorrow," Gong Chen said.
"Yes."
Just after speaking, a voice could be heard on Chen Jin’s end of the call.
"A bath feels so good, Brother Chen, co join."
Gong Chen: "Hanging up."
Chen Jin: "Third Young Master, listen to ..."
