You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 116

No matter how rational Bai Rong was, it did not change the fact of how sudden this occurred.

“How could there be someone who dies here so suddenly?” She clutched Gu Mingchen’s hands, shaking in fear.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed and hastily muttered “Someone is trying to harm you.”

Ping! Ping! Ping! The doors outside burst open.

“Gu Mingchen, you better leave quickly. Otherwise, they will suspect that that person found out about our adulterous relationship. If it comes to that, we will be trapped and no amount of explaining will save us.” Bai Rong said, clearly distressed.

“Rong, do you trust me?” Gu Mingchen asked coldly.

“I do.” Bai Rong replied without hesitation.

The hotel security came barging in at that moment, making a beeline for the sky garden.

“Reporting to the chief, a dead body was found in the sky garden. The culprit is nowhere to be seen.” The security captain barked into his radio communications.

He proceeded to scan the room, a frown adorning his face. “Search the room.” He gruffly instructed his subordinates.

“What are you doing here?” Gu Mingchen’s sharp voice accompanied him as he entered the room.

“There was a murder here, so irrelevant parties should leave.” The security captain replied rudely.

Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes as his hands gripped firmly around the security captain’s neck while forcing him against the door.

The security captain did not bother putting up a fight.

“Who do you think you are that you can raise your voice at me? If there’s really a murder here, it will not be up to the likes of you to handle it any ways.” Gu Mingchen’s tone cleanly sliced through the air.

The guard turned pale.

Gu Mingchen released him. He dialed a number and commanded the recipient, “Call Jinyang City’s police department. There was a murder at the Jingyang Hotel, room 1829. Tell them they have three minutes to arrive here.”

The security captain’s face discolored further after hearing the contents of the call.

“Reporting to the captain, the guest of this room is nowhere to be found.” His subordinate reported curtly.

He furrowed his brow. “Leave the room for now.” He instructed his subordinates.

Gu Mingchen stood ramrod straight at the entryway. “It would be best to wait for the police to arrive and provide a detailed account then.”

Ten minutes later, Bai Rong appeared, her hair was noticeably wet as she stepped out of the elevator and made her way over to the door. “What are you doing in my room?” She questioned, confused.

Upon seeing Bai Rong, the security captain’s eyes widened as his gaze swung between her and the sky garden. His pupils flashed before he slowly bowed his head.

“What happened here?” The security chief joined the group at this moment.

“Chief, a dead body was found in Room 1829 but so far, neither culprit nor murder weapon have been found. This is rather unusual.” The captain reported.

The security chief glanced at Bai Rong before giving the order, “Check the surveillance tapes.”

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed once again, his icy gaze surveying the security chief. “The police will naturally attend to these matters.”

The security chief immediately agreed in a low voice.

Half an hour later, Jinyang City’s police chief, detective team, the hotel’s managers, security chief and captain as well as Gu Mingchen and Bai Rong were all gathered in the surveillance room.
