Many different versions of answers flashed through her mind.
For example, she could tell them about her forged marriage with Su Xuyan.
Regardless of whether they believed her or not, it would still not change the fact that she was a married woman.
Bai Rong wasn’t afraid of tarnishing her reputation. She had nothing to lose anyway. She was just worried about getting Gu Mingchen into trouble.
“The purpose of our visit was to secretly investigate the case on Governor Cheng. We pretended to be a couple because Gu Mingchen detected that there were people following us. It was to distract them.” Bai Rong said calmly and looked straight into the eyes of the person who asked the question.
“Why were you asked to assist in the investigation of Governor Cheng? Didn’t you claim that you do not have any relationship with Gu Mingchen?”
“I have liked reading Sherlock Holmes since I was young and my idol is Arthur Conan Doyle. Besides, I am also a doctor and have almost gone into forensic medicine. Chief Gu briefly discussed the case with me and he thought that I have some problem-solving capabilities. As it was a secret investigation, he thought that having an unfamiliar face could be useful.” Bai Rong explained.
Song Xiyu was watching Bai Rong through the screen and her eyes darkened. “Actually, I quite like this girl. She is very strong mentally, is able to deal with things calmly and is graceful and presentable. Most importantly, she really loves our son. Why don’t we just approve of their relationship?”
“You are so soft-hearted and gullible. Didn’t you forget that she promised you not to continue seeing Mingchen when you spoke to her in the day? But look what happened? Our son ended up sleeping at her place. This woman is very cunning. She lied through her teeth. How can she be any good?” Gu Tianhang said in disdain.
“Even if she lied to me, she did that to protect Mingchen. I don’t think she should be blamed for that. Besides, she grew up all alone in the orphanage and has experienced the vicissitudes of life. She’s not a hothouse flower and it’s natural that she learned to protect herself and be independent. Do you think Su Wanning would be able to do that? She relies on her dad for everything.” Song Xiyu refuted.
“So, you are aware that Su Zheng would always stand up for her daughter? Su Xuyan has the support of the commander-in-chief and our son has already offended Su Xuyan. The commander-in-chief had his qualms about the Gu Family all along. It was Su Zheng who has been helping to mediate in between us to avoid any problems. If the commander-in-chief has Su Zheng’s help, our family will be doomed.” Gu Tianhang’s temper sparked.
Song Xiyu folded her arms in front of her chest and turned to face the side. “I think the commander-in-chief would not dare to do anything to us. After all, Mingchen is the chief in the special forces. You secretly swopped out Bai Rong’s marriage and divorce certificates but she will know the truth eventually once she questions Su Xuyan about it.”
“That’s why we have to force a confession out of her now.”
“Even if we managed to do that, our son still wouldn’t fall in love with Su Wanning.” Song Xiyu stared at her husband.
“Then we will hand the woman over to Su Zheng. We will ask Su Zheng to force Mingchen to marry Su Wanning in order to exchange for Bai Rong’s release.” Anger poured through Gu Tianhang.
“But she is innocent. Don’t you think you are going overboard? First, you swopped out her certificates, then you got people to pretend to be from the CCDI and brought her here. Now, you are even thinking of kidnapping her? Don’t continue to go down the wrong path!” Song Xiyu hollered at the man.
“Am I really making a mistake? I am doing this to save our family.” Gu Tianhang said as he pointed at Song Xiyu.
“But you can’t do that at the expense of others.” The woman slapped away her husband’s hand.
“I am not causing her any harm. In fact, she is the one who is causing us harm. I am not asking for her life; I only need her to leave Mingchen so that Mingchen can marry Su Wanning. That’s the original plan. I am going to give Su Zheng a call now to get his assistance.” Gu Tianhang said, as he took out his phone.
“That’s enough!” Song Xiyu snatched his phone away and said, “You are just creating evidence for others to use against your son. I think you are getting old and muddle-headed. Just leave this matter to me.”
“You are the one who keeps making me angry.” Gu Tianhang yelled and walked out of the surveillance control room.
“You guys, stop recording and switch that off now.” Song Xiyu was feeling frustrated.
