You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 245

How can this be? How can it be! Shouldn’t a treasure be buried under that piece of land? How did it become military-grade weapons?

Unless… the treasure indicated on the map are actually military-grade weapons? But that doesn’t make sense either. The map is ancient, and there weren’t any military-grade weapons back in the day.

Is this entire thing Su Xuyan’s trick? Where did we go wrong?

With that thought in mind, Bai Rong steeled herself up and said, “I’ll call you later.”

She hung up the call and exited the hotel as she called Cheng Jinrong.

“Cheng Jinrong, I’d like to ask you a question. Where is the piece of land that you wanted to buy earlier? Can you text me the address?” asked Bai Rong hurriedly.

“Why? Is that piece of land crucial to solving the case?” asked Cheng Jinrong in a confused tone.

“They found a lot of military-grade weapons buried under that piece of land. Did you know about it?” asked Bai Rong as she walked to the side of the road.

“Wait, did you just say that they unearthed a lot of military-grade weapons from that piece of land? How is that even possible? Wait… when you say military-grade weapons, are you talking about swords and spears or guns and missiles?” asked Cheng Jinrong, who couldn’t make heads or tails of what had happened.

“I think they unearthed guns and missiles, but I don’t know the specifics. That is why I want to go check the place out,” replied Bai Rong.

“Okay, I got it. Where are you now? I’ll go pick you up, and we can head over together,” said Cheng Jinrong as he walked towards his own car.

“I’m at the entrance of the Jadeborough Hotel.”

“Alright. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Bai Rong hung up the call, then dialed Gu Mingchen’s number again. Once again, no one answered.

She then called Song Xiyu, who picked up the call.

“Bai Rong, bad things have been happening to my boy, Mingchen, ever since you got together with him. He almost died three years ago, and now his life is on the line again. To make matters worse, his reputation might be tarnished! Are you trying to kill my son? Are you happy now?” reprimanded Song Xiyu as soon as the line was established.

Bai Rong’s heart dropped with a thump. Looks like Su Xuyan was telling the truth.

“Umm… How is Mingchen now?”

“His situation is none of your business. Can you help him even if I tell you? No! You will only hold him back and be his burden. Also, did you intentionally hurt Mingchen?” demanded Song Xiyu, who sounded even more furious.

“Gu Mingchen is my husband. Why would I hurt him?” replied Bai Rong in a firm tone.

“Then did you tell Mingchen that Tian is his son?” asked Song Xiyu again.

Bai Rong was taken aback, but she replied, “Yes, I told him that. How is Tian?”

“Oh, you’re still thinking about that bast*rd? Mingchen claimed that he went to Su Xuyan’s place to get his son back and that he wasn’t there to steal any list. However, the DNA results came back, and the kid isn’t Mingchen’s. Now they’re thinking that Mingchen is probably lying about the list too. Also, were you the one who asked Mingchen to use that piece of land in Jadeborough?” interrogated Song Xiyu angrily.

Bai Rong’s mind went blank instantly.

Tian isn’t Gu Mingchen’s son? B-but… How is that possible? Could it be that the man who raped me six years ago… isn’t Gu Mingchen?

Bai Rong felt like her entire world was instantly crumbling in front of her.

“Are you too cowardly to admit it? That piece of land had tons of military-grade weapons buried underneath it. Mingchen refused to tell them why he used that land, and I spoke to many lawyers. The probability of Mingchen being found guilty is as high as ninety-five percent. You’ve destroyed him, Bai Rong! I hope you die a horrible death!” cursed Song Xiyu.

Upon hearing that, Bai Rong’s arm gave way, and her phone fell onto the floor.

How could this be? How could this be? How could this be?

Gu Mingchen, Gu Mingchen… I can’t let anything bad happen to him.

Bai Rong picked her phone up instantly and called Su Xuyan. “Just what do you want!” demanded Bai Rong.

Su Xuyan scoffed and asked, “Bai Rong, why don’t you ever trust me? Why must you call around and investigate the matter before you believe in what I say?”

“Why isn’t Tian Gu Mingchen’s son?” demanded Bai Rong in shock.

“If you hadn’t lied to me and actually came back to me, you would’ve been able to see your biological son. Tian is just a test I set up for you. For three years, I sent Tian to countless plastic surgeries just to make him look like you and Gu Mingchen. It’s not an easy feat for me, you know?” said Su Xuyan evilly.

Bai Rong suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

It’s me. This is all my fault. I killed Gu Mingchen.

I was conned and was like an idiot. I judged Tian by his appearance and assumed that he is the son I have with Gu Mingchen. I didn’t even bother doing a paternity test.

It’s my fault. This is all my fault!

“And what about that piece of land? What is wrong with it?” asked Bai Rong. As she did so, she tapped the record button on her phone.

Su Xuyan chuckled on the other end of the line and answered, “How would I know? Gu Mingchen is a spy and the head of a terrorist organization. It’s only normal that he has some military-grade weapons hidden.”

“You’re lying! I asked Gu Mingchen to buy that piece of land. Does that mean that I am a spy, too?” growled Bai Rong angrily.

“Rong, I know you’re recording this phone call. Are you still trying to betray me, even at a time like this? It’s fine for you to betray me, but Gu Mingchen will surely die because of it,” shared Su Xuyan calmly.

Bai Rong was utterly crushed that Su Xuyan knew about every move she made.

How does he do that?

Bai Rong turned the record feature off and demanded, “How did you know that?”

“Your phone is a special device that I made. It doesn’t have a chip, so the connection is actually established via Wi-Fi. There are anti-hacking systems installed at the military base, so I can’t eavesdrop on you. However, if I contact you via a landline, no one will be aware of it. Still, the second you leave the military base, I will have twenty-four-hour surveillance on you. The state of your phone, your conversations, your texts to Gu Mingchen… I can hear and read everything,” explained Su Xuyan. He was completely open at that moment because he had lost all hope of being together with Bai Rong. All he felt was sorrow and abandonment.

Her distance and distaste fanned the flames of his hatred and inspired him to seek vengeance. This may be for the best. I will no longer be held back by my emotions, and I can go back to doing whatever I please. Showing no mercy to Xing Bachuan… that would make things right for my father, too.

Bai Rong was eerily quiet. Fate had finally broken her down, and she rose her white flag. “What do I have to do to get you to let Gu Mingchen go?” asked Bai Rong.

“I’ll let Gu Mingchen go if you end it with him and make him marry Zhou Hailan,” replied Su Xuyan cruelly before he added, “You better do it quickly. Gu Mingchen will surely be sentenced within the week.”

“How would I know if you’d keep your word?” asked Bai Rong, who didn’t trust Su Xuyan.

“You don’t have a choice, Bai Rong. You don’t trust me, and similarly, I don’t trust you either. What would I do if you stay with him after all this? That is why I will inject you with the virus before I save him. I am the only one with the antidote, and if you agree to my terms, you can come to my place. If you don’t, then you can do whatever you want. I’m hanging up now,” said Su Xuyan before he hung up.

She didn’t actually care about whether she’d get the antidote because she wouldn’t want to live in a world where Gu Mingchen was dead.

Only that, he can’t die. Gu Mingchen is like the Sun which brings warmth and hope to people who are trapped in a sorrowful life. A great man with such amazing accomplishments is about to die with dishonor attached to his name… Even hearing this is pathetic enough.
