Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: The Suicide Was Faked

Liu He seemed afraid that Lin Zhiyi wouldn’t believe her and anxiously explained.

"Zhiyi, you have to believe me! I really didn’t do it on purpose! I don’t know why the watch was ten minutes slow; when I arrived, Xiaoyun was already gone."

She kept repeating this sentence, her face covered in sorrowful tears.

Lin Zhiyi also panicked and instinctively looked towards Gong Chen.

Gong Chen grabbed Liu He’s hand and pinched the tiger’s mouth a few times.

Liu He winced from the pain, and her cheeks wrinkled, finally waking up a bit.

Lin Zhiyi poured her a cup of warm water: "Mom, drink some water first, and speak slowly if there’s something to say. We’re not here to condemn you; it’s just that there have been a lot of things happening recently, and we want to clarify the truth."

After drinking the water, Liu He calmed down a lot.

She took a deep breath and said, "Wei Xiaoyun’s suicide was actually a plan we both came up with."

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback: "Why would you do that?"

Liu He had said before that Wei Xiaoyun was very capable, proactive, and even encouraged her to continue her studies.

Such a person didn’t seem like someone who would commit suicide under pressure.

Gong Chen thought of something and said lightly, "To escape debt."

Liu He glanced at him, with a look that indeed nothing could be hidden from him.

"Xiaoyun was the most popular among our clients, so she earned the most money and lived comfortably."

"It was also at that time that she met a businessman on a business trip to Jing City."

"At first, she firmly refused him, but he was persistent and not only extended his business trip but also visited Xiaoyun every day. He was handsome and gentlemanly."

"As time went by, there was more gossip, so Xiaoyun could only agree to have a meal with him, but before she went, she said she was just going to clarify things with that man."

"Who knew that after the meal, Xiaoyun said she finally found a man who understood her."

"But before long, the man had a debt crisis."

"Xiaoyun gave him all her savings, and the man was decent enough to write an IOU."

"After the crisis was over, he gave Xiaoyun double the money, and Xiaoyun convinced herself that he truly loved and respected her. Before long, they talked about marriage, and even the down payment on the new house was paid."

"I also thought she found a good man. But just a few days before the wedding, the man’s company had trouble again."

"Xiaoyun gave him all her assets to help him through and even borrowed a lot of money for him."

"But that man left with the IOU and never returned. When we went to the police, we found out he even had a fake ID, and the IOU was worthless."

"However, the money Xiaoyun borrowed for him was real, and she..."

Liu He trailed off, her voice suddenly cutting off.

She gripped Lin Zhiyi’s hand tighter.

Lin Zhiyi thought she was unwell and anxiously approached her, concerned: "Mom, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Liu He pursed her lips and continued, "Later, Xiaoyun and I scraped together what we owed to repay her debt."

"We thought life could return to peace, but out of nowhere, a bunch of people showed up daily at her door demanding repayment, sometimes even blocking her outside malls, severely affecting Xiaoyun’s work. Later we learned that man used Xiaoyun’s identity to take out high-interest loans."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged a helpless glance.

They immediately understood that Wei Xiaoyun had encountered a professional scammer.

Lin Zhiyi followed up: "Mom, what happened then?"

Liu He recalled the past and took a deep sigh.

"The interest piled up on those loans, and we couldn’t repay it, so Xiaoyun came up with a way to escape, a fake death."

"As long as those loan sharks thought she was dead, they wouldn’t seek her out for money. She had no relatives, no one to confront."

"We agreed on the time to report to the police, so when they arrived, confirming her suicide, the creditors wouldn’t have any recourse. But when I took the police there, I realized my watch was ten minutes slow, and Xiaoyun was nowhere to be seen. Someone said they saw her pacing by the riverbank for a long time and then suddenly jumping into the river."

At this point, Liu He sobbed more bitterly.

"I killed Xiaoyun, if only I had paid more attention to the time, I wouldn’t have missed it!"

"She must have thought, seeing I didn’t show up, that I wasn’t going to help her anymore and felt utterly despondent, so she actually committed suicide."

Lin Zhiyi immediately interrupted: "Mom, don’t cry yet. Did you say your watch was ten minutes slow?"
