You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 176

The woman was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole and bury herself in it.

She had tried her hardest to keep their relationship a secret as she was unable to handle the consequences if it was to be uncovered.

Assistant Leng was shocked, “Ms. Bai, were you with Mr. Gu on the train the whole time?”

Bai Rong kept her head low and didn’t say a word.

“Yes, she was with me.” Gu Mingchen answered on her behalf.

“Are you two dating?” Assistant Leng asked.

Gu Mingchen kept quiet and Bai Rong could no longer stand the pressure.

She explained, “No, we aren’t dating. My best friend works in his military base as a doctor. That’s how I got to know Mr. Gu.”

Gu Mingchen stared coldly at Bai Rong and pursed his lips to express his displeasure.

“Ah, so you aren’t dating! Let’s get back to discussing the case then.” Leng Qiuzun continued, “I had a look, and although it was unclear as to the time that the video was filmed, it was certainly not something possible with technology from twenty-five years ago.”

“That’s true. We’ve managed to identify this person via facial recognition technology. Her name is Wang Donger, currently thirty-five years old. She’s from Caihua Village of Wuli Township in Pingyan City. She had an elder sister, Wang Xiahe, who had left the village for work and had gone missing. They had lost their parents since young and shared a very strong bond with each other. They looked very alike. Wang Donger had even gotten plastic surgery to make herself look more like Wang Xiahe.” Mr. Cheng explained.

“So, Wang Donger is the murderer then. How did she kill those people?” Assistant Leng asked out of curiosity.

“The problem is, she was filming on set during their time of death and a lot of people can testify for her.” Mr. Cheng frowned as he said.

“Wang Donger must be the murderer. If she had an accomplice, she could create an alibi for herself. Let’s arrest her.” Leng Qiuzun said.

“I have another question. We weren’t able to find any communication trails between the deceased, right? But it seems they’ve been on close terms with each other since twenty-five years ago.” Assistant Leng said.

“Computers weren’t that common twenty-five years ago. People mainly used letters for communication. Maybe they used pen names in their letters. We’ve focused too much on the internet and mobile phones and forgot about letters, a more old-fashioned form of communication. These people all lived in A City, so they should still be in touch using a secretive method like this.” Bai Rong deduced.

Gu Mingchen instructed Mr. Cheng, “Head back to the military base and check if Xiong Changan and Xiong Zhiqing have been in contact through letters.”

“Also, the three murderers from twenty-five years ago, Xiong Jinping, Xiong Zhiqing, and Xiong Changan, who are also currently the deceased, all share the same surname, Xiong. Is it possible that their surnames had something to do with them getting to know each other? We could try asking Xiong Jinping’s sister, Xiong Daini.” Bai Rong suggested.

“We can arrest Wang Donger now. Let’s have a chat with her.” Leng Qiuzun got up and walked towards the door.

As Bai Rong stood up after him, her phone rang.

She saw that Gu Mingchen was staring at her and answered without even checking who it was to relieve some of the feelings of guilt she had.

“Bai Rong, Daini says you’ve returned?” Song Xiyu’s voice was heard from the phone.

Bai Rong was stunned for a moment and quickly walked out of the meeting room as she spoke, “Yes.”

She walked towards the garden.

“Don’t meet up with Mingchen, you know you can’t afford to mess with him.” Song Xiyu cut straight to the chase.

“I’ve already met him.” Bai Rong said.

“He doesn’t remember you and whatever that has happened between you two. If you want both of you to live a nice life, then you should forget about him too.” Song Xiyu said.

Bai Rong could hear that she was warning her and recalled how they had hurt each other in the past.

“I have a friend named Liu Yan who is currently working as a doctor in the Special Forces military base. I need her safety guaranteed as I don’t know what I might do if anything happens to her. Can you guarantee her safety?” Bai Rong negotiated.

“Don’t worry, I can promise you that as long as you let go of Mingchen.” Song Xiyu promised.

“Give me some time.” Bai Rong said as she closed her eyes.

Her heart felt heavy from the burden and sadness of having to be separated from Gu Mingchen before they could even start over after reuniting again.

Perhaps this was fate, she thought as she opened her eyes.

She turned around and saw that Gu Mingchen was standing right behind her.

She jumped in shock as she wasn’t sure when he had arrived, how long he had been standing there for and what he had heard.

She lowered her head in guilt.

Gu Mingchen walked up to her and ordered her, “Raise your head.”

Bai Rong took a deep breath and looked up at him.

“You’ve been avoiding me intentionally since early morning today.” Gu Mingchen said.

She had been avoiding him because she didn’t want their relationship to be exposed as Song Xiyu would pressure her if it happened.

However, Song Xiyu had already contacted her even before it was exposed, so it showed how much she really cared about it.

“Chief, what do you think our current relationship is?” Bai Rong asked directly.

“You are the only woman I have ever had sex with. What do you think our relationship is?” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

“But you are engaged and your fiancée’s father is Su Zheng, the Deputy Commander of the CCDI. With his power and influence, what do you think he would do to me if he were to find out about us?” Bai Rong asked. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“As long as I’m around, I won’t let them hurt you.” Gu Mingchen promised.

Bai Rong felt her eyes tear up as she remembered how Gu Mingchen had also said the same thing to her and she had wanted to be with him no matter what.

However, all she got in return for her efforts and sacrifices were nothing but betrayal.

Zhou Hailan was the person whom he held dear deep in his heart, not her.

He would never know the pain and despair that she had felt during that time.

“You can say that to me after you’ve confirmed what your feelings are towards me. Otherwise, your actions and behaviors are no different from a douchebag.” Bai Rong said rudely as she walked past him.

Gu Mingchen grabbed her by the wrist and pursed his lips as he stared at her in silence.

Bai Rong felt he was probably speechless and smirked, “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me after sleeping with me for a few times?”
