You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Leaving May Be The Best Option

The man sensed her abnormal behavior. “You don’t have to thank me. I did little. Where’s your family? Do you remember their contact number? I’ll call them.”

“Family.” Bai Rong choked at that word.

Her parents were alive, but she could no longer contact them. It was the same for her husband, no… ex-husband.

She was all alone in the world.

“Thank you for your concern. I will handle it myself. Really, thank you,” she said with a smile.

“Where do you want to go? Let me send you there.” The driver was worried about her safety.

“May I know if Jadeborough is far from here?” Bai Rong asked.

“It’s not too far, maybe about an hour’s ride. I am also going back to Jadeborough. I can send you there,” he said.

She thanked the kind driver and entered his vehicle.

In the car, she continued to stare out the window in a daze.

The place I want to go when I’m acting crazy is still Jadeborough. I must be really sick in my head.

“May I know what day is it today?” she muttered.

“Sunday.”

She had been running outside for three days without any recollection of what had happened.

She told herself to remain calm. Otherwise, after a few more days, she might not even be able to achieve what she had set out to do.

No one would have guessed a renowned psychologist was a patient herself. Perhaps her mental state made her understand the psychology concepts so well.

Seeing her in a daze, the driver asked concernedly, “Are you sure you don’t want me to call your family? You don’t even have any identification or phone with you.”

She looked up at him. “I have a friend in Jadeborough. I cannot remember her number, but I know where to find her.”

The driver was more relieved, and they arrived at Jadeborough shortly.

“Where is your friend’s place? I will drop you off there,” he said kindly.

“Chen Village. The exact location is about five hundred meters behind the shopping center.”

“Oh, I know where it is once you mentioned shopping center.” With that, the driver dropped her off straight outside Chen Wei’s house.

Bai Rong knocked on the closed door for a long while, but there was no answer.

“There’s nobody home? Why don’t I book a hotel room for you? You can check in first and wait for your friend to be back,” the driver suggested.

“It’s alright. Can you drive me to a nearby police station? They may have my friend’s contact number there,” she asked awkwardly. She felt embarrassed to trouble him that much.

“Police station? Sure. In that case, I guess I have to report to the chief of police in advance,” he said.

His words caught her in surprise. “You’re a police officer? I thought you were only scaring that truck driver just now.”

The man smiled. “I guess I’m still not considered a police officer. Anyway, my name is Chen Bin. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the station.”

They arrived at the station, and many officers recognized Bai Rong there.

“Ms. Bai, what brings you here?” an officer questioned.

“I went to A City, and my bag was stolen with my identifications and phone inside. Could I check the contact number of my friend with you? It’s Chen Wei’s ex-boyfriend. I think he registered his number here,” she explained.

“Sure! Ms. Bai, wait a moment. I will check it now,” the officer said quickly.

“Do you remember where you lost your bag?” Chen Bin asked.

Bai Rong shook her head. “No. I guess I have to contact my friend first.”

Chen Bin nodded without a word.

“I’m really grateful for your help today. Can I have your contact number?” She forced a smile out of courtesy.

Chen Bin wrote his number on a piece of paper and handed it to her.

The police chief came personally to greet Bai Rong upon hearing her arrival. His eyes lit up further when he saw Chen Bin. “Deputy Secretary Chen, what an honor to see you. What brings you here?”

“I took a month off,” the latter replied politely.

“I’ve heard the news. You will take over my position after my official retirement next month. Is that true?”

“The transfer order is not out yet, so I can’t be sure at the moment. Once it’s confirmed, I will inform you immediately,” Chen Bin said tactfully.

“No problem. I will give you a treat then,” the police chief said while shaking Chen Bin’s hand. He shifted his attention to Bai Rong. “Ms. Bai, I’m surprised to see you here. Please come here often. Our station will always cooperate with you.”

She nodded and did not say a word.

“Ms. Bai, I’ve found it.” The officer from earlier interrupted and handed her a paper.

She thanked him and called the number directly.

“Hello?” Cheng Jinrong’s voice came from the other end.

“This is Bai Rong. I’m now at the police station. Can you come over? I lost my bag, my phone and all my identifications. I might need to trouble you for a few days.”

“Give me thirty minutes. I’ll be there shortly,” Cheng Jinrong replied. The moment he hung up, he announced to the meeting room, “Meeting’s over.”

He picked up his blazer and ran out of the room while putting it on.

Bai Rong sat in the reception room and waited while Chen Bin poured her a cup of warm tea. “The police chief has shared with me all about your accomplishments. I even searched for it online. It’s an honor to meet a renowned psychologist like yourself,” he added.

“If it’s not for you, I guess I will be in the headlines, stirring up discussion on the importance of mental and physical strength.” Bai Rong joked, and Chen Bin let out a laugh.

Cheng Jinrong arrived at the station after thirty minutes. “How did you get yourself into this mess? But I’m glad you ring me up. I don’t think you can check into a hotel with no identification. Let’s head to my home first,” he said with concern.

Bai Rong nodded and thanked him in response.

“Since your ID is missing, you’ve to make a new one. Let me see if we can get your information over and apply for a temporary one. You can then apply for a bank card or something,” Chen Bin suggested enthusiastically.

A smile appeared on Bai Rong’s face. I guess there are still more good people than bad ones out in this world.

“Thank you once again. Let me treat you to dinner once I’ve gotten a new bank card,” she said.

“Sure. I’ll wait for your call.” Chen Bin replied with a smile.

Cheng Jinrong gave Chen Bin a second look as they walked out of the station.

In the car, the former tried to strike a conversation.

“I see that you have no fresh clothes with you. Why don’t I bring you to the nearby shopping center to buy new ones?” He offered kindly, and Bai Rong thanked him once again.

He continued, “You have thanked me too many times today. All these are what I ought to do. Are you going straight to Governor Lu’s house now that you are at Jadeborough? Or you are still returning to A City?”

She shook her head. “I’d like to rest for two days.”

“That’s good. I can bring you around Jadeborough then. And oh yes, aren’t you going to be a therapist at Governor Lu’s home? I’ve found you a house nearby their home, which will be more convenient for you.”

She had no other words and could only thank him once more.
