You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 182

“I really need to bathe now. There’s no time left.” Urged Bai Rong.

“Okay.” He got up and carried her to the bathroom.

Bai Rong used the bathtub while he used the shower.

Not daring to look at him, Bai Rong kept her gaze fixated on the water in the bathtub. However, her mind kept wandering to his earlier words.

“I think it’s good to stay with you this way forever. Anyway, I’m not interested in other women.”

“Bai Rong, you’re too discreet. If you have any requirements, just tell me. You’re the only woman I’ve touched so I don’t really know what women like. If I did anything wrong, I’ll change!”

“Not just her, I also know everything you did overseas during the past three years.”

“I have already called off my engagement with Su Wanning. I’m single now.”

Every single word of his captivated her completely.

It was impossible to say that she was not flustered.

She could no longer lie to herself. She was falling in love.

“Gu Mingchen, do you like me?” Bai Rong asked directly as she stared at the man.

He was mysterious as usual and his expression did not betray any unusual emotions. “Do you believe in what I say, or what you see?”

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat and a chilling sensation invaded her body.

She remembered that she asked the same question to Gu Mingchen three years ago, when he had not lost his memory yet.

He said that he would show it through his actions instead of his words.

Back then, she was immensely touched.

She believed Gu Mingchen was not a smooth talker and that he would prove what true love was with his actions.

Only after he lost his memories that she realized Gu Mingchen avoided her question because he was in love with Zhou Hailan. He could not tell her that he was only nice to her out of guilt and responsibility.

The man was still the same.

Bai Rong laughed and plastered an alluring smile on her face as she stood up from the bathtub. She grabbed the towel calmly and wrapped it around her body. “I believe what I feel with my heart.”

She brushed past him, left the bathroom and took a change of clothes from her luggage.

The confusion and passion in her eyes had already disappeared, leaving only coldness behind.

When Gu Mingchen came out from the bathroom, Bai Rong had already set off to the police station.

Upon her arrival, she was surprised to see that Leng Qiuzun was there too. “I thought you left.”

“I don’t like to give up halfway. Although I won’t be handling the case directly, it’s still good for me to observe the case and know its outcome.” Leng Qiuzun explained.

Bai Rong smiled.

Although the detective had a sharp tongue, was arrogant and discourteous, he was still quite dedicated to his job.

“I shall go in first.”

“Bai Rong.”Leng Qiuzun called out.

The woman looked at him.

“I’ve checked Wang Donger’s account and there’s only eight hundred in it. She’s been spending large sums of money since last year. Among them, she used a credit card in Japan to buy a Sony HDR-AX2000E, which is a professional camera. Furthermore, her boyfriend, who is also her partner in the video, bought the latest 3D screen. Wang Donger majored in psychology too.” Leng Qiuzun reminded Bai Rong.

“I’ve understood their murder methods. Xiong Zhiqing and Xiong Jinping had been scared to death and they thought that it was Wang Xiahe who killed them. Xiong Changan committed suicide, probably because he could not take the psychological stress anymore.”

“I’ll be watching you interrogate them in the surveillance room.” Replied Leng Qiuzun. He brushed past her coolly before stopping in his tracks again. “Did you buy the fruits that I asked you to?”

“I did. They’re in my room now. I’ll give them to you after the interrogation.” Replied Bai Rong.

Leng Qiuzun’s expression was very strange. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Taking in a deep breath, he asked, “Bai Rong, do you know why I accepted this case?”

“You like challenges.” Bai Rong deduced.

“Xiong Jinping is my friend’s uncle. I only joined this case because my friend asked me for a favor.” Leng Qiuzun said in a deep voice as he shot Bai Rong an examining look.

Bai Rong realized that his friend was Su Xuyan.

“Did you know my identity from the start?” Bai Rong asked.

“I didn’t. I only knew that you’re his ex-wife after Xuyan called me and asked about you. I always thought that his wife’s surname is Xing. What’s your relationship with Xing Jinnian?” Leng Qiuzun probed further.

No wonder Leng Qiuzun’s attitude towards her changed considerably. It was because he knew that she was Su Xuyan’s ex-wife.

“She’s my stepsister. We were born on the same day and I got out ten minutes earlier.” Bai Rong explained indifferently.

“You must have suffered a lot to change jobs from a gynecologist to a psychologist.”

Bai Rong smiled gently. “No matter how bitter days were, they have passed. The subsequent days will be sweet precisely because the previous days were bitter. As long as my heart isn’t bitter, I’ll be indestructible.”

“Don’t blame Su Xuyan. No wonder he spared Xing Bachuan when he could’ve just sentenced him to death. So it’s because of you.” Leng Qiuzun said meaningfully.

“What do you mean? He wanted to sentence Xing Bachuan to death?” Bai Rong was surprised.

“Su Xuyan’s biological father died because of Xing Bachuan. He probably married you to take revenge. It’s better for you to ask Xuyan about the specifics. Since you’re my good friend’s ex-wife, I won’t target you anymore. You can call me if you need any help.” Leng Qiuzun said regretfully as he shrugged.

“Su Xuyan’s biological father died because of Xing Bachuan?” Bai Rong was puzzled and fell into utter disbelief.

No wonder she felt that Su Xuyan hated her and was deliberately trying to hurt her. His every move was designed to push her towards hell.

There was actually that additional layer of relationship between them.

Without saying anything else, Leng Qiuzun walked into the surveillance room.

Bai Rong remained stunned as she stood at the entrance of the police station and tried to recall the past bit by bit.

“Why’re you standing here?” Gu Mingchen asked in a deep voice.

Bai Rong was too engrossed and got a shock from Gu Mingchen. She glanced at him and entered the interrogation room.

But the chief grabbed her arm and side-eyed her distracted gaze. “What’re you thinking about? You don’t look too good.”

“After getting hold of some information, I know their murder method now. But Wang Donger actually studied psychology as well. It’ll be quite hard to make her confess. After all, there’s no concrete evidence yet.” Bai Rong said ambiguously.

“You don’t need to feel pressured. We have all the time in the world. Plus, I suspect that this murder was not committed by a single person. It’d be hard to infiltrate Wang Donger’s psychological defense, but it’ll be easy to do so for another person.” Gu Mingchen hit the nail in the head.

Bai Rong nodded. “Gu Mingchen, do you know how Xiong Daini’s husband died?”

“I think he died during a mission. He was barely thirty years old then. What’s wrong?” Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong suspiciously.

The latter shook her head. “I’m just asking to see if it has something to do with this case.”
