You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 244

Gu Mingchen had a bad feeling about it. It wasn’t even six in the morning yet, so the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would not be there unless they had concrete evidence.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was responsible for monitoring and identifying enemy spies.

The Shadow Samurais’ mission to rescue Tian went too smoothly.

Everything was so perfect that Gu Mingchen thought that something might’ve been off. I guess I was right.

“Let them enter,” replied Gu Mingchen grimly.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent eight people over. Every single one of them looked grim and displeased as they showed Gu Mingchen their credentials. They claimed, “We received an anonymous tip about how you stole a list.”

“List? What list?” asked Gu Mingchen in confusion.

The people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection shifted their gaze to the security guard.

Gu Mingchen waved his hand and ordered, “You may leave.”

The security guard knew that they were about to discuss military secrets, so he didn’t dare to hang around. He left quickly and closed the door as he did so.

The people from Central Commission for Discipline Inspection only answered Gu Mingchen’s question after the security guard had left. “It is a list of the names of our spies who are operating outside the country,” said one guy.

“Why would I have any use for that list?” refuted Gu Mingchen.

“You don’t. That is why we suspect that you are working as a spy for our enemy,” replied the people from Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

“My father is the Deputy Commander, while I am the Chief of the Special Forces Military Base. I have a good shot to be the commander-in-chief, so what makes you think I’d go and work as a spy?” refuted Gu Mingchen again.

“Sorry, Chief. We still have to carry out our orders,” claimed the people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

“Fine. Go ahead,” replied Gu Mingchen before he sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The others went to inspect his room.

The head of the team stayed in the living room to keep an eye on Gu Mingchen. The former looked especially grim because Gu Mingchen’s identity was unique.

“We found it,” called out one of the men as he walked out of the room where Tian was napping. The man had a vase with him when he reported, “It’s hidden inside the vase.”

The head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection fished the list out of the vase and turned to Gu Mingchen. “Please follow us to the office, Chief,” said the man.

Gu Mingchen turned to the head of the team and frowned before asking, “How are you so sure that this is what you’re looking for? I mean, even I have no idea what this is.”

“The list is wrapped up in a special package, and the paper itself is special as well. We received the intel on the shape of the paper and its general characteristics before we came over,” answered the head of the team.

“Did you guys plant the list in my vase to frame me?” growled Gu Mingchen angrily.

The member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection turned pale and claimed, “No, I wouldn’t dare to. Besides, I have no way of getting my hands on the list either, so how could I have done it?”

“Please follow us to the office, Chief. We will definitely clear your name if you’re not a spy. On the other hand, if you refuse to come with us, you’d look extremely suspicious,” said the head of the team.

Without a choice, Gu Mingchen stood up and straightened his clothes a little before he fished his phone out and made a call. He then instructed clearly, “Help me take care of the kid in the apartment and wait for me to come back. We’ll talk then.”

Meanwhile, Bai Rong was finally feeling sleepy after seeing Tian, so she slept until ten in the morning. She was woken up by a call from Cheng Jinrong after that.

Since Bai Rong didn’t sleep well, she had a splitting headache when she got up abruptly. She massaged her temple before she picked the call up.

“Are you in the police station now? I’m here,” asked Cheng Jinrong nicely.

Bai Rong recalled that she was supposed to go to the police station that day, so she replied, “Sorry, I’ll head over right now.”

After that, she hung up and went into the washroom. Splashing some water on her face to wake herself up, she then brushed her teeth and put on some make-up. She also tied her hair up and was ready to leave the house when her phone rang again.

Seeing the unknown number, Bai Rong suspected that the call was from Su Xuyan, so she hung up immediately.

Tian was finally rescued. Hence, she didn’t want to have any interaction with Su Xuyan anymore.

At the other end of the phone, Su Xuyan was infuriated being hung up upon. He scoffed as an evil glow flashed past his eyes, and hatred burned within him.

Bai Rong is abandoning me after using me, huh? Fine, then I won’t need to show her any mercy either.

Su Xuyan was harsh when he sent a text message over: Do you want to see Gu Mingchen dead?

Seeing that text got Bai Rong’s heart to grip. She called Gu Mingchen right away.

The line was soon established, but no one picked up.

Bai Rong had a bad feeling about this, so she called Su Xuyan immediately.

However, Su Xuyan hung up on her.

At that moment, Bai Rong’s heart was thumping with worry. She called Su Xuyan again, but he had already turned his phone off.

She went out of the hotel in a daze before she unblocked Su Xuyan’s old number and dialed it.

Su Xuyan picked it up this time. For some reason, he sounded off when he commented, “Not so sure about Gu Mingchen now, are you?”

“Su Xuyan, what is the meaning of the text you just sent? What do you plan on doing to Gu Mingchen?” interrogated Bai Rong. She was on the verge of losing her temper.

Ugh! He is like an annoying poltergeist that never goes away!

“I’ve warned you not to do anything out of the line. I gave you my heart and soul, and even waited for three years. But how did you repay me?” yelled Su Xuyan, who was even angrier than Bai Rong.

“I can’t control my heart. Besides, I waited for you for three years, too. You didn’t like me then, but did I go after you? Did I ever hurt the women you were with?” challenged Bai Rong.

“That is only because you do not have the power or the will to hurt anyone. You are nothing but a coward.”

“What do you want? And what did you do to Gu Mingchen?” demanded Bai Rong as she raised her voice.

“Have you considered what the consequences would be when you told Gu Mingchen that Tian is with me? You should’ve known that this is how things would turn out to be when you and Gu Mingchen played me for a fool. I am not someone you can trick. Let me share the truth with you right now. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has already taken Gu Mingchen away, and his reputation will be tarnished soon. If he’s lucky, he’ll only be stripped of his military title. If not, he will be found guilty of being an enemy spy and will be sentenced to death,” shared Su Xuyan with a sinister grin on his face.

“Bulls**t! Gu Mingchen is not a spy,” insisted Bai Rong. She didn’t believe in a word Su Xuyan said.

Gu Mingchen is the most responsible and bravest soldier I have ever met.

How could he be a spy? Hell, I’d sooner believe that I’m the spy.

“He stole an important list from me and was engaged in spy activities. How is he not a spy? He even insisted on confiscating and using a piece of land yesterday. Did you know that there are military-grade weapons buried there?” asked Su Xuyan as he grinned.

“The land he used yesterday had military-grade weapons? How is that even possible?” blurted Bai Rong, who was in shock.

“That piece of land is in Jadeborough, and you’re in the area. You can go take a look and see if the officials are there clearing the weapons out. You’ll know if I’m telling you the truth then,” said Gu Mingchen confidently and firmly.

Bai Rong finally realized that Su Xuyan’s words were all true. After all, he had no reason to lie about something that could easily be verified. Her mind went blank, and she stumbled backward until she was leaning against the wall…
