You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 192

After Su Wanning left, Bai Rong needed to calm herself down.

She picked up a cup of tea and stood by the window, looking at the passersby walking past.

Some were smiling brightly and cheerfully while others were pale and had a gloomy face. There were also those whose expressions were indifferent, as if they had concealed all their emotions.

She had seen all kinds of people, with different expressions, moods and mental states.

Perhaps, this was life.

Everyone who arrived in this world was lucky. God gave them a chance to experience life.

In life, the ups and downs, happiness, sorrows, worries and leisure were fleeting.

People who were easily satisfied could feel blissful after eating a meat bun.

Those who were not would become unhappy even when sitting behind a table full of food, wondering if there was something missing.

She should discard all her emotions and desires to not feel exhausted.

One must lose something in order to gain another.

Even if she had missed Gu Mingchen, she might meet another good man in the future.

Perhaps it was really time to give up.

Her phone rang.

When she saw that it was from Gu Mingchen, she picked the call up calmly.

“Bai Rong, do you think it’s easier to ask the chief for help or your boyfriend?” Gu Mingchen asked in a deep voice.

Bai Rong was in a daze.

His words almost messed up her mind and affected her decision. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

She remained silent for a while. “One should know one’s limits. I know that we don’t belong in the same world.”

“Then why did you call me?” Gu Mingchen hung up the call unhappily.

Bai Rong was speechless.

It was good that he hung the call up on his own accord. Otherwise, her subsequent words might not be so pleasant.

Bai Rong kept her phone into her bag and walked to the entrance of Mu Xiaosheng’s office. She knocked on the door and entered.

Mu Xiaosheng stood in front of the whiteboard anxiously. When he noticed Bai Rong entering, it was like he had seen a ray of hope. “Come, come! Help me analyze this. Who killed Tony? Deputy Commander Su wants me to solve the case within three days. How is that possible?”

Bai Rong scanned the whiteboard. “Is Su Wanning a suspect?”

“She does have a motive to kill Tony because she contracted syphilis from him. The woman even said that she wanted to kill him. But after thinking through it, she felt that it was not worth it, so she let him go.”

“When did she let Tony leave? When did he die and when did he meet anyone in between?” Bai Rong asked.

“There’s no news from the forensic department yet. Do you know Chen Jing Apartment? Su Wanning rented a serviced apartment there so that it was convenient for her to date. Tony went there at 10 p.m.. The weird thing is that there was no recording that showed Tony leaving Su Wanning’s room. However, the cleaner discovered his corpse in a public toilet at 5 a.m. the next day.” Mu Xiaosheng said, feeling perplexed.

“Let the policemen search Su Wanning’s room and see if there are any traces of blood on the floor. You can also ask Su Wanning if she actually saw Tony leave her room. Plus, you should go to the police station instead of staying in your office. They can obtain the information from the forensic department immediately and explain the details to you. It’ll help you solve the case.” Bai Rong said with a smile.

“I’ll go to the police station later. The forensic department’s report should be out soon.” Mu Xiaosheng threw his pen down.

“Xiaosheng, if I want to test some DNA or compare fingerprints, do you know anyone who can be of help?” Bai Rong asked.

“If I do, do I still need to wait for the results from the forensic department? I’ve already told them to pass it to me within one hour but it’s been such a long time already.” Mu Xiaosheng said in irritation.

Bai Rong thought that he made sense. After all, they needed to follow the standard procedures. Unless…

She thought of Gu Mingchen again.

An idea crossed Bai Rong’s mind and she went to visit Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was playing a game. When she saw Bai Rong walk over, her gaze was still glued to the computer screen. “Are you off work? Wait for a moment, I’ll be done soon.”

“Okay.” Bai Rong sat on the sofa.

Her phone rang and the call was from Gu Mingchen.

After a short moment of hesitation, she picked the call up but did not speak.

Gu Mingchen remained silent too.

Bai Rong waited for a while. “If there’s nothing, I’ll hang up first.”

“I squeezed some time out at night. Do you want to continue from where we stopped at lunch? You still owe me a meal.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

Bai Rong glanced at Liu Yan. “Do you know where Liu Yan is staying outside the military base?”

“Yup, I know. Why?”

“I’ll cook.” Bai Rong invited him over.

“Okay. I’ll reach at around 7 p.m..”

When Bai Rong hung up the call, Liu Yan was already standing in front of her and she teased, “Who’re you inviting for dinner? Is it your new boyfriend?”

“It’s Gu Mingchen. Don’t go away this time.” Bai Rong stood up and grabbed Liu Yan’s arm. “Let’s go and make a report at the police station first. I’ll say that I was raped and give them the condom. The policeman will go through the standard procedures and they can probably catch the culprit quickly.”

Liu Yan was completely stunned. “You’re together with Gu Mingchen again? Also, it’ll be damaging to your reputation if you make a police report. Never mind, I’ll just pretend to have been bitten by a dog. Anyway, it’s not my first time being bitten. It’s fine as long as I don’t get sick. I’ll just treat it as a passing incident.”

“I don’t care about my reputation. We can’t let the culprit escape scot-free.”

“Nah. If you are caught to be falsely accusing someone, you might be jailed. Forget about it. It’s always better to deal with one less thing. If I don’t say anything, it won’t affect my marriage prospects. If I make a huge fuss, I’ll become a joke in the military base and it might drag my parents into this mess. Tell me about you and Gu Mingchen. What happened?” Asked Liu Yan worriedly.

“There’s nothing between us. I owe him a favor in the past so I’m treating him to a meal. We’ll owe each other nothing then.” Bai Rong said indifferently.

“You must consider carefully. Gu Mingchen’s family will not accept you. It’s so hard for you to have a stable life now. If you want to risk your life to date him, it’s not worth it.” Liu Yan reminded her friend.

“I know what to do. Don’t worry.” Bai Rong said with a smile.

She went to buy pork ribs, winter melon, sword beans, shredded meat, tomatoes, eggs, peppers and beef tenderloin, then.

After a while, all the ingredients had been transformed into pepper and beef tenderloin, fried egg with tomatoes, sword bean and shredded meat, as well as winter melon and pork ribs soup.

Gu Mingchen arrived punctually and brought roses and red wine. He had changed out of his military uniform and was standing there in a straight posture, wearing a black suit which exuded a forbidding aura.

When Liu Yan saw Gu Mingchen, she was still a bit scared. She stood up nervously and shouted respectfully, “Chief.”

Gu Mingchen nodded. Passing the rose to Bai Rong, he said in a deep voice, “Follow me to a place after dinner. When we reach there, you can tell me your final decision. No matter what it is, I’ll respect it.”

Bai Rong paused. She had a feeling that Gu Mingchen knew what she was going to say.
