Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 934: Who Is She?

Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Who Is She?
Upon hearing the name Qianqian, the old man looked utterly incredulous.
He seemed to find it hard to believe that Gong Chen knew this name.
"How... how do you know?"
"Who is she?" Gong Chen looked at the old man coldly.
"... "
The old man said nothing and turned his back to Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.
Refusing to answer the question with his actions.
Gong Chen directly asked, "Does the Xia Family’s bankruptcy have anything to do with you?"
Upon hearing the name of the Xia Family, the old man frowned deeply, and the hands behind his back clenched tighter and tighter.
Gong Chen, thinking about how the old man’s affairs might harm Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing, felt a more terrifying gloom.
"Why should others bear the mistakes you made?"
Hearing this, the old man was moved.
He retorted, "No, it’s not like that..."
"Then how is it?" Gong Chen questioned.
"I..."
There was some guilt in the old man’s eyes.
Another long silence ensued.
Lin Zhiyi tugged at Gong Chen and stepped forward, saying, "Old man, do you remember that the Xia Family left behind two daughters who have now been found? They lived poorly after leaving Jing City back then."
"Impossible," the old man retorted, "Lin Zhiyi, don’t try to deceive me."
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and looked at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen nodded slightly, then took a step back.
Lin Zhiyi took out a photo of Xia’s mother.
"After leaving Jing City, she returned to her hometown, Lan City, but died not long after because she fell ill and didn’t receive treatment. People around her even spread rumors that she had a shameful illness, and her two children were shunned by relatives. The elder sister had no choice but to take her younger sister to an orphanage to survive."
"Old man, do you really not remember her?"
After speaking, she slowly handed the photo to the old man.
The old man stared at the photo and took it with trembling hands.
He gently caressed the person in the photo, shaking his head, "It’s not like this. It shouldn’t be like this."
"Then how should it be?" Gong Chen asked, "They’ve already found trouble with us now."
The old man turned to look at Gong Chen, "Impossible."
He kept repeating the same few words.
Lin Zhiyi could only take out a current photo of Xia Wan.
"It’s her. She deliberately appeared before us looking like the old madam, then secretly made trouble. Old man, if you know anything, please tell us truthfully."
Upon seeing the photo of Xia Wan, the old man became confused again and directly hid behind the table.
"She’s here! She’s here! Run! Run!"
He stared at Lin Zhiyi, his eyes no longer showing disdain but genuinely urging her to leave.
Gong Chen wanted to say something, but Lin Zhiyi raised her hand to stop him.
"Old man, if you have any issues, contact us again. We’ll leave now."
"Go." The old man stood behind the table and slowly spoke.
Lin Zhiyi pulled Gong Chen out of the room.
"The old man’s emotions are quite off."
Gong Chen silently nodded, "Indeed strange. When he saw Xia Wan’s photo, he showed no surprise or curiosity, as if he’d seen her before."
"Could he have mistaken her for your mother?" Lin Zhiyi speculated.
"Having been married for decades, could he really not tell?" Gong Chen questioned.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure.
"Xia Wan?"
Lin Zhiyi turned and chased after her, but upon reaching the elevator, she found no one there.
Gong Chen caught up.
"What’s wrong?"
"I think I saw Xia Wan. She was still wearing a nurse’s uniform," Lin Zhiyi uncertainly said.
Just then, a nurse walked by.
Lin Zhiyi corrected, "Not a nurse, the uniform is more blueish."
Gong Chen calmly said, "It’s an orderly."
As he spoke, he leaned close to the window and looked downstairs.
From afar, he saw a back that looked very much like Xia Wan.
Lin Zhiyi watched the figure disappear and asked, "Was it her?"
"Not sure."
"If it was her, could she be planning to harm the old man?" Lin Zhiyi worriedly asked.
Gong Chen immediately called the steward.
"Is there anything suspicious about the old man’s orderly?"
"No, she was hired from a professional company, and the doctors and nurses all like her," the steward replied.
"Replace the current orderly and assign two bodyguards over."
After hanging up, Gong Chen continued to watch downstairs.
Lin Zhiyi hooked his arm, asking, "Third Young Master, I actually think the old man might not be lying."
Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi, puzzled.
Lin Zhiyi quickly explained, "I’m not defending him. It’s just that because he treated me so poorly before, I noticed his slight changes immediately. He has no malice towards me."
Gong Chen: "If he has no malice in what he’s saying to you, then he truly hopes you leave. But that doesn’t seem like him; he always despised women. How could he fear two young women just starting out?"
"This..."
Lin Zhiyi was at a loss for words.
Even someone as calculating as Yang Jingwei was played round and round by the old man.
He really didn’t need to be afraid of the Xia sisters.
Besides, his expression wasn’t one of fear.
As for what emotion it was.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t discern it either.
She suddenly thought of something: "Third Young Master, when the old man saw the woman in the photo, he obviously had an emotional reaction. If it’s related to a woman, could Fu Xiuzhu know anything? She’s been caught now, and if we give her some incentives, she’s likely willing to talk."
Gong Chen nodded: "You’ve learned bad behavior."
"Learned from you."
Just as the words left her mouth, Lin Zhiyi’s phone rang.
It was Ren Xiya.
She recently discussed marriage matters with the Li Family, so she didn’t bring this up to her.
Afraid to spoil her and Li Huan’s good mood.
Once the call connected, Ren Xiya’s distinctive cold snort could be heard.
"Lin Zhiyi, having a new backing now, of course things are different, keeping everything to yourself."
"No, you’re having a happy occasion, we can handle these troubles ourselves," Lin Zhiyi explained.
"Say no more, I’ve arranged with my mom, come over."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s eyes lit up. She looked at Gong Chen.
Quickly, she said, "Okay, okay, we’re coming right away."
"I’ve sent you the address."
"Okay."
After putting down the phone, Lin Zhiyi smiled at Gong Chen.
"How could I have forgotten that Xiya’s mom must know about past events too?"
"Let’s go check it out first."
The two then left the sanatorium together.
...
In the parking lot.
Xia Wan took off the orderly uniform and quickly called Shirley.
"Shirley, they’ve already traced it to the sanatorium, I can’t go anymore."
"What about that old thing?" Shirley asked.
"Leave him for now."
"He’s too lucky! Should just..."
"Shirley." Xia Wan reminded.
"Got it, I’ll listen to you, sister," Shirley obediently replied.
"Rest assured, everything is going according to plan. It’s just that Third Young Master and Lin Zhiyi are investigating faster than I thought, but I guess the old man won’t dare disclose anything from the past."
"He cares too much about face, of course he won’t. So we..."
"I’ll see to it that the entire truth comes to light."
Xia Wan said through gritted teeth.
