Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Disturbing the Mindset

Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen drowsily to the hospital.

Present besides the police were Dazhu and Shuangshuang, but Fang Lai’er’s relatives were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes to the police, asking, "What’s really going on here?"

The police explained, "We’ve apprehended Fang Jian, informed Fang Lai’er’s family to assist in the investigation. Her brother brought depression medication over, I checked it too, it’s indeed depression medication, with a prescription attached. Her brother reminded her to take the medicine, but for some reason, she took it all at once and is now undergoing gastric lavage."

"Her brother sent the medication? Her brother usually ignores her, how could he care enough to send her medicine?"

Lin Zhiyi seemed completely surprised.

Fang Lai’er’s brother only appears when he needs money.

He’s a clever person, much shrewder than Fang Jian, and never directly asks his sister for money.

Instead, he gets it through their parents.

In this way, the money Fang Lai’er gives to her parents seems perfectly reasonable.

And it’s only natural for parents to give money to their son.

Fang Lai’er has no chance to get the money back.

When Fang Jian and Fang Lai’er got into trouble, he ran the fastest, there’s no way he’d care about Fang Lai’er.

Lin Zhiyi, filled with conjecture, looked towards Gong Chen.

Gong Chen nodded slightly, apparently on the same page as Lin Zhiyi.

He asked gravely, "What did Fang Lai’er’s brother say to her?"

"During such times, most family members blame. Her brother said she implicated her brother, angered and sickened her parents, claimed she worked outside for so long with nothing to show for it, and called her pretentious, among other things."

"We noticed he was getting more overboard, worried about upsetting Fang Lai’er, so we pushed him out of the room. Who would’ve known...?"

The police all knew not to upset Fang Lai’er. How wouldn’t her brother know?

It was clearly intentional.

Gong Chen frowned, asking, "Where is her brother?"

"Third Young Master, I know what you want to ask. We’ve asked her brother too, and he claims his family’s situation is so nerve-wracking it’s normal he didn’t maintain his composure. He didn’t intend to scold his sister; it just got away from him. Furthermore, Fang Laier’s depression is genuine." The police officer added.

As soon as the words fell, a doctor emerged from the emergency room.

He removed his mask and shook his head, "Sorry, we couldn’t save her."

"We’ve notified the family, they’ll come to handle the death certificate."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi felt somewhat amused.

Fang Lai’er’s brother forcing her to death not only avoids responsibility, but he can also officially handle her affairs.

What kind of logic is this?

Suddenly, Dazhu exclaimed.

"Shuangshuang, what’s wrong?"

Shuangshuang’s husband supported her as she was about to collapse, striving to comfort her, "Shuangshuang, this was her own doing, it has nothing to do with you."

Shuangshuang cried, "I just wanted her to face the consequences, I didn’t intend for her to die, I...I..."

Lin Zhiyi comforted, "It’s her choice, not something we can intervene in."

After speaking, she looked towards Dazhu and Shuangshuang’s husband.

"You two should help her to rest."

After watching them leave, Lin Zhiyi stood blankly aside, watching as others took Fang Lai’er, covered in a white sheet, away.

She couldn’t believe Fang Lai’er would commit suicide without any reason.

But she had no evidence.

At this moment, she only felt cold at her feet.

Though there was no wind in the corridor, she still felt a chill seeping into her bones.

As she thought, her stiff body was wrapped into the warmth of a man’s coat.

She raised her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, "I don’t believe there’s such coincidence."

"Coincidentally, neither do I, come with me."

Gong Chen wrapped his arm around Lin Zhiyi and entered Li Huan’s office.

Li Huan followed quickly, rushing in with the report, locking the door behind him.

"The drug component you asked me to investigate is out. Fang Lai’er had such a strong reaction because she swallowed several types of medication at once. But I asked the police, her brother only brought one bottle of medicine."

Lin Zhiyi looked at the report handed in front of her, turning to the man pouring tea.

"You found out early?"

"Not too early, just asked around on the way here." Gong Chen said, sipping tea and then frowning disdainfully.

Li Huan poured himself a cup, "Drink it or not, you beg me for help, yet scorn my tea."

Lin Zhiyi shifted her gaze back to the report.

"So, someone deliberately mixed something into Fang Lai’er’s medicine bottle?"

"You could say that, but you can’t say that." Li Huan put down his tea cup.

"Why?"
