Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Accepting the Truth

Liu He thought about many possibilities on the way before she arrived.

She also forced herself to recognize and accept a fact.

She thought she would be calm, but she was still startled.

The private detective saw Liu He’s emotional agitation.

He didn’t continue immediately, instead he poured her another cup of warm water, waiting for her mood to calm down.

A moment later.

He whispered, "Madam, having spent so much money, I naturally investigated matters thoroughly for you. Following this half a clue, I discovered downstream an area, where the rich used to dwell. You must know..."

Those words pierced into Liu He’s ears word by word.

Extremely harsh.

The more she listened, the more her face grew solemn.

Finally, the private detective pointed to the last page of the report.

"I also found the man who deceived Wei Xiaoyun. He’s actually not a lone scam artist; there’s a huge scam syndicate behind him. They use handsome men, styled as rich second-generation heirs, to deceive white-collar workers or female bosses lacking love. Wei Xiaoyun is not the first."

"However, according to my investigation results, this man hasn’t been seen for over ten years, presumably... dead."

Upon hearing the word dead, Liu He subconsciously let out a breath of relief.

She pressed down on the documents forcefully.

"Do you have backups of these documents?"

"No, madam hired me knowing my style of work. I earn detective money, not extortion money. I forget once a job is done." The detective smiled politely.

Liu He understood that he recognized her.

But this wasn’t about other money, it was clearly not about client secrets.

She whispered, "Thank you, I’ll give you some extra money to destroy all evidence for me."

The detective nodded, "No problem."

"I have already paid, I’ll be leaving."

"Goodbye, madam."

The detective meant to let go of the past once the task was complete.

...

Studio.

Lin Zhiyi carried the dress as she completed the last preparations.

"Zhiyi!"

Liao Yi leisurely walked in with a handcart carrying a human-high picture frame.

Lin Zhiyi immediately went up to help.

"What is this..."

"A gift for you. I know you love children’s paintings, so I asked students I know to paint it for you, including one Xingxing secretly drew for you. Remember to praise them a bit when you go back."

"Thank you."

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly asked people to move the painting inside and specially found an empty spot to hang it.

When she took off the cloth, she was shocked and almost cried.

The layers of colors in the children’s eyes accumulated to finally form the shape of a mother embracing a child.

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes quickly turned red.

It was as if she saw a past life where she self-immolated with Xingxing’s ashes.

But at this moment, there was no despair or sadness in the painting.

It was brightness and hope after rebirth.

Liao Yi leaned in and said, "Xingxing thought of the theme; she said she loves mom’s embrace the most. The painting is so good that even before I’ve taken it from my friend’s studio, someone wanted to buy it."

Lin Zhiyi wiped the corner of her eye.

"It hasn’t even opened yet, I’m about to cry."

"Zhiyi, things will definitely get better. This is called sweet after bitter." Liao Yi hugged her.

"Hmm."

Just as she finished, Gong Chen came over with Xingxing.

"Mom."

Xingxing plunged into Lin Zhiyi’s arms.

Lin Zhiyi kissed her, "Thank you, Xingxing, and your little friends. Mom loves the gift."

"You’re welcome, do I love you more than Dad does?"

"Uh..."

"He’s always saying he wants to love you... um."

Xingxing spoke openly, and Gong Chen quickly covered her mouth.

Lin Zhiyi was also flushed, glaring at Gong Chen.
