You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 She Has To Be Bai Rong

“Mr. Stephen!” One of Stephen’s security guards entered the room with a plastic bag in hand. “Someone scraped off the insulation cover on the wires of the electricity generator and then poured water all over it, causing the entire generator to break down.”

“Mr. Stephen!” His butler also came rushing back into the room. “The signal transmitter was immersed in water when I found it. It can’t be fixed!” He said, holding up the plastic bag containing the broken device.

“So… the killer has two accomplices… There’s three of them at the very least?” Lisa’s face was turning paler by the second.

“Can I take a look on site?” Wu Nian asked.

“I’ll go with you,” Gu Mingchen immediately added.

“Me too!” Liu Yan said, glaring at Gu Mingchen.

I’m not letting you stay alone with Wu Nian!

“I think crowding around her would affect her focus. You two stay here. I’ll go.” Aaron smiled and held Wu Nian’s hand.

Wu Nian nodded and left for the electricity generator room with him and Stephen’s security guard, ignoring Gu Mingchen’s burning gaze.

She swiftly swept her eyes across the room. The floor was full of messy footprints. “You guys don’t come to the electricity generator room often, do you? But look at these footprints. They look like they had just been made. Did you notice anyone going into this room today?”

“Miss Lisa came here this morning. She brought two of her friends to tour around the villa,” the security guard replied.

“And where did you find the plastic bag? How did it look like when you initially discovered it?”

“Well, it was hung on the wires and was filled with water when I first saw it. Oh, I wonder who did this! It can’t be Miss Lisa, can it? Miss Lisa has never really gotten along well with her sister.” The security guard expressed his thoughts earnestly.

Wu Nian narrowed her eyes as she looked at the water droplets dripping from a tube above the place where the plastic bag was supposedly hung at. “Do you have a ladder?”

“Yes.” The security guard swiftly grabbed the ladder and set it up for her.

Wu Nian climbed up toward the tube and found an ice cube within it, along with thin ropes all tangled within the tube.

Carefully, she took the items out.

“How could there be an ice cube up there? Did the condensation freeze up? In this weather?” The security guard seemed rather baffled.

“Let’s go,” Wu Nian said quietly.

“Who do you think the killer is?” Aaron finally spoke.

“Let’s talk about this in the living room,” Wu Nian said, walking in front of him.

Aaron wrapped his arms around her waist gently and stared at her. “I only knew about how you were trained in the medical sciences and psychology. Who would have thought that you’re such an expert detective too.”

“I was…” Wu Nian paused. “I used to read a lot of mystery novels on solving crimes. I’m really interested in such things.”

“You never cease to surprise, do you? Oh, I think I might fall head over heels for you soon,” Aaron lamented.

“Don’t worry. You have discovered all of my good qualities. All that’s left is the bad and the ugly. Prepare to be disappointed,” Wu Nian said.

When they returned to the living room, Stephen hurried over and asked, “Any findings in the electricity generator room?”

“Yes. The killer fixed a plastic bag filled with water onto the wires. In the tube directly above it, the killer inserted an ice cube. Since there is no airflow within the tube, so the water from the melted ice will drip right into the plastic bag.” Wu Nian held up the items in her hand.

“Due to the increase in mass of the water contained within the plastic bag, it eventually broke, and large amounts of water were splashed over the wires, resulting in short circuits and melted wires.”

Looking at Stephen with a serious expression, Wu Nian explained, “It’s difficult to obtain fingerprints from the ropes or the plastic bag. However, since your machinery is manufactured in Danontand, there is a black box with five hundred megabytes of storage located within the generator. As long as that hasn’t been tampered with, we can extract it and connect it to a computer to obtain the surveillance footage. That way, we’ll know for sure who hung the plastic bag on the wires.”

“A black box? I wasn’t the one who installed the black box, so I don’t really know about the inner components. Where exactly is the black box?” Stephen seemed slightly confused.

“I know where it is. Please take some tools and follow me,” Wu Nian said.

Smiling affectionately at Wu Nian, Aaron seemed rather impressed. “Wow, you know about mechanics too?”

“I grew up at an orphanage and had to do many things by myself. There was an electricity generator that was donated to us. It had the same brand as the one Stephen owns. Once, the electricity generator broke down, and we had to use the black box within it to find out why. It turned out that a naughty kid had thrown a stone inside,” Wu Nian explained.

“So, the black box can capture the footage of the perpetrator?” Lisa asked.

Nodding, Wu Nian replied, “Yes, but there’s a limited storage space of five hundred megabytes. The footage would not be complete.”

“Okay, okay. Quick! Follow her and get the black box,” Stephen said to the butler.

“Understood.” The butler led the way.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed before Wu Nian and grasped the dagger that had been hidden in a flower pot in the living room.

“Stop her!” Wu Nian yelled.

Gu Mingchen immediately sprang into action.

However, he was about a second too slow. The next thing he knew, Lisa’s friend, Casey, was slashing the sharp blade of her dagger across Lisa’s neck in one clean sweep.

“Argh!” Lisa covered her neck with her hands, but blood was gushing out from her neck uncontrollably. She stared at Casey, wide-eyed, and eventually collapsed against the wall behind her with a terror-stricken expression.

Gu Mingchen immediately seized her limbs and put her under restraint. The bloody dagger fell to the ground with a clinking sound.

Wu Nian also rushed over. Kneeling before Lisa, she applied pressure against her wound and shouted at Stephen, “Her carotid arteries have been cut! She’ll die within a minute if we don’t do something about it! I need ice, gauze, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, a needle and syringe, antiseptic and sufficient light! Now!”

Upon seeing his daughter lying lifelessly against the wall, Stephen froze. “Quick! Quick! Give it to her! Give it to her now!”

The butler sprinted to get the first aid kit while Liu Yan went to get the ice.

Lisa’s body was twitching in a disturbing fashion, and her eyelids were closing gradually. However, she still seemed to be staring at Casey in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Casey had begun wailing. Her cries were high-pitched and raspy as if she was the one suffering the most.

Liu Yan swiftly came back with the ice. Wu Nian grabbed some pressed it against the wound. “Yan, we got to work together. Once the gauze comes, we will wrap the ice with it and press it against this spot, got it?”

“Okay, I know what to do,” Liu Yan answered.

“Lisa, don’t be scared, okay? As long as we control the blood loss, you will be fine. Please try your best to calm down. I’ll sew up your wound, and you’ll be fine, okay?” As Wu Nian worked on doing first-aid, she continued to say reassuring words to comfort Lisa.

“Why are you saving her? You shouldn’t be saving someone like her!” Casey snarled with a thundering voice.

“It’s one thing for you to commit murder and another for me to save a life. Shut your mouth,” Wu Nian responded coldly.

Just then, the butler returned with the first-aid kit. “We have quite some resources prepared. There is anesthesia too. Will it be of use?”

Wu Nian deftly took out the bottle of anesthesia, wrung the cover open, and inserted a syringe to extract it.

Gu Mingchen stood quietly behind her, staring at her with his gaze deep as a bottomless ocean, dotted with a distinct spark of light as if he had recalled something.

When he had met Bai Rong for the second time, they were faced with a pregnant woman who refused to undergo surgery at all costs. Bai Rong stayed calm and insisted on having her do surgery.

He could roughly remember what she had said back then. This is my responsibility as a doctor. You can file a case any day you want as long as you let me help you.

Even back then, her expression was full of conviction and might. She remained focused on her work and exuded a powerful sense of justice.

She has to be Bai Rong! She has to be!
