Chapter 299 is about how she pushed her daughter into the fire.

In the lobby of the police station, a woman in her fifties or sixties slumped to the ground, clutching her clothes at her chest and crying her heart out.

"My Yunyun died such a tragic death..."

"Who is so cruel as to treat Yunyun like this?"

"She's someone who's so afraid of pain..."

"Yunyun, what will I do without you? How will your father and I live..."

He Lewei squatted down beside the woman, his face showing sadness, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Kang, please accept my condolences."

"I don't believe that's Yunyun." Ms. Kang suddenly grabbed He Lewei's clothes, her expression contorted with pain. "You must have made a mistake, right? That's definitely not my daughter!"

“Ms. Kang, we are also very sorry…” He Lewei pursed his lips, his tone full of apology, “The DNA database comparison results show that it is indeed Ms. Fang Mengyun.”

"Why did this happen?" Ms. Kang released He Lewei's clothes, sat on the ground and wailed, "Yunyun was such a good girl, who killed her?"

He Le sighed, "The murderer has not yet been caught, but the police have identified a suspect and are investigating with all their might. Ms. Kang, please hold on a bit, we will need your cooperation in giving a statement later."

"There's already a suspect?" Ms. Kang pressed sharply. "Who is it?"

He Lewei: "He Linwen".

"He Linwen?" Ms. Kang's pupils contracted sharply, her expression changed, and she murmured, "How could it be him?"

Seeing her reaction, He Lewei immediately asked, "Ms. Kang, do you know He Linwen?"

"You mean he killed Yunyun?" Ms. Kang asked, her face full of unease.

“The murderer is still under investigation,” He Lewei said. “Ms. Kang, please get up first. We can talk in the interrogation room.”

Ms. Kang then helped him up from the ground and asked anxiously, "What does this have to do with He Linwen?"

He Le took her to the interrogation room, called his colleagues for help, and then sat down next to Ms. Kang to explain: "We received a tip from the public that He Linwen dumped a body by the lake. The body that the police retrieved is that of Fang Mengyun."

Ms. Kang's face paled even further. "How could it be him..."

“Ms. Kang.” He Lewei found her reaction strange and frowned as he asked, “Are you familiar with He Linwen?”

Ms. Kang's face showed deep pain, and she choked up as she said, "He Linwen... he is the son of one of my old friends."

The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and Xiao Xu walked in carrying a notebook, with Jiang Yuan following behind her at a leisurely pace.

"Ms. Kang, can you give a statement now?" He Lewei poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of her. "Or do you need to wait a bit longer?"

"I can't process this," Ms. Kang said, shaking her head, tears streaming down her face. "Ask me now."

“Okay.” He Lewei looked at Xiao Xu, who nodded slightly to him.

He Lewei's gaze returned to Ms. Kang, and he asked gently, "What's your name?"

"Kang Jiaoli".

"Kang Jiaoli, what is your relationship with the deceased Fang Mengyun?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Jiaoli covered her face and burst into tears again. "Just a few days ago, Yunyun said she would take me on a trip once my unemployment benefits arrived, but I never expected that I wouldn't recognize her when we met again..."

Jiang Yuan looked at her, her eyes slightly hot, tears glistening in them, her nails digging tightly into her flesh.

This kind of atmosphere is really suffocating.

He Lewei didn't ask any further questions, handed over a tissue, and waited patiently.

Kang Jiaoli cried for a while, then asked in a choked voice, "Officer, what did you just say?"

He Lewei: "What is your relationship with Fang Mengyun?"

Kang Jiaoli: "She is my daughter."

"When was the last time you contacted Fang Mengyun?" "Last weekend." Kang Jiaoli sobbed uncontrollably, "She went shopping and said she wanted to buy me clothes and take me on a trip."

She wiped away her tears haphazardly and continued, "I video chatted with her last night, but she didn't answer. I thought she was busy, but I never imagined she was already gone..."

He Lewei: "Do you know what the relationship is between Fang Mengyun and He Linwen?"

“I know.” Kang Jiaoli nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, “He Linwen is her boyfriend, and I was the one who brought them together.”

When she said those words, she was almost breathless with heartache.

If her daughter was truly harmed by He Linwen, she will suffer and regret it for the rest of her life.

Because it was she who pushed her daughter into the fire.

“He Linwen’s mother is He Shuna, a good friend I’ve known since junior high school.” Kang Jiaoli raised her hand to her forehead, her eyes lowered, and tears fell one by one onto the table.

“He Linwen is a year older than Yunyun. When he was born, we joked that if we had a daughter, we would arrange a marriage between them.”

"I gave birth to Yunyun a year later, but I didn't take the arranged marriage seriously."

"Shuna really liked Yunyun. Later, when the two children grew up, Shuna suggested that Yunyun try dating He Linwen."

Kang Jiaoli paused in her speech, then covered her face and burst into tears.

Jiang Yuan and the other two exchanged glances, pursing their lips, unsure how to comfort each other.

The pain Kang Jiaoli was experiencing at that moment was unimaginable to them, and they could not empathize with it.

Five minutes later, Kang Jiaoli sobbed and said, "At the time, I felt that we knew each other well, which was more reliable than Yunyun meeting other boys outside, so I agreed."

“At first Yunyun was unwilling, but I kept praising He Linwen in front of her…” Kang Jiaoli cried and then suddenly felt nauseous, covering her mouth and dry heaving.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuan asked worriedly.

"It must be because he was too heartbroken," Xiao Xu said softly.

She had seen this situation many times before.

“I’m fine.” Kang Jiaoli’s face was pale, and she waved her hand. “I can continue.”

She continued, "Yunyun couldn't persuade me otherwise, so she agreed to give He Linwen a try."

"Do you know about Fang Mengyun and He Linwen's breakup?" He Lewei asked.

"Did they break up?" Kang Jiaoli looked shocked. "No, Yunyun didn't mention it to me."

He Linwen said he and Fang Mengyun broke up two months ago.

"I don't know." Kang Jiaoli shook her head. "I really don't know why they broke up."

Xiao Xu: "He Linwen said their relationship has broken down."

"You just said it's been two months since we broke up?" Kang Jiaoli frowned. "That's not right. I remember He Linwen sent me Yunyun's photos last month."

He Lewei: "Really? Would it be convenient for us to see the chat history?"

“Okay.” Kang Jiaoli hurriedly rummaged through her bag for her phone, found the chat history, and handed it over. “He also said that he was cooking for Yunyun.”

He Lewei took the phone and saw that the chat history showed May 15th.

He Linwen posted photos of Fang Mengyun sitting on the sofa in her pajamas playing on her phone, as well as photos of him cooking.

Xiao Xu glanced at the screen and frowned, "Have they broken up or not?"

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice, "One possibility is that they broke up, but He Linwen is still clinging to Fang Mengyun."
