You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 142

“Heh.” Bai Rong snorted lightly. “I don’t think I’m interested to hear that urgent problem of yours now.”

Mu Xiaosheng paused in surprise.

However, the girl’s smile became wider as she pointed to the lift with her chin. “I’m just joking. I’ve promised to work at your place for five years once I’m back, of course I’m always ready to help with your work.”

“You’re getting playful now. I’m really happy for you.” Mu Xiaosheng replied in a gentle voice.

Bai Rong did not respond to his words as she pressed the lift.

“I was quite worried before that. I heard that the university offered you to stay as their lecturer. Even the FBI also asked you to work for them. The cases you solved back in America have shaken the world and made you famous. I thought you don’t even want to be back anymore.” Mu Xiaosheng sighed in relief.

“I’ll never break my promise to you, but I have a condition to discuss with you first. Since I’m working for you, you can pass me any task and work, but I don’t want to work in your office as I plan to start up my own clinic. Am I allowed to do that?” Bai Rong requested.

“Of course you can! I did not sponsor you much back then. Never have I thought you will turn out to be this outstanding! I’m already highly satisfied and grateful for your willingness to help me.”

“Thanks. Now tell me what’s troubling you and how can I be of help.” Bai Rong asked.

“This case involves a highly-ranked government official, that’s why the police were asking for information and help from my side. If I can’t solve this case, I’ll be in serious trouble.” Mu Xiaosheng explained.

“Brief me in detail then. I’m free until tonight. Let me treat you to a meal.” Bai Rong replied leisurely.

Mu Xiaosheng noticed that the girl had changed a lot compared to 3 years ago.

Three years ago, she was a depressed girl drowned in hopeless despair, which gave her a lifeless appearance.

Now, she radiated the charm of a knowledgeable lady with polished eloquence and manners. She was much more attractive to him than before.

Together, they went to a famous hotel in A City and dined at the hotel’s restaurant after Bai Rong checked in.

“Should I arrange for your accommodation?” Mu Xiaosheng asked in concern.

“No need. I’ll buy a house when I’m free. Now tell me the details of your case.” Bai Rong had a sip of lemon water and took out her pen and notebook.

“The deceased is An Qi; she was a 53 year-old woman. Her younger brother is General An from the Ministry of Defense; and her husband is Song Jianren, the Deputy Minister of Finance, who’s 54 this year. Both of them are influential figures within the government and their own ministries. On the day of the murder, the deceased had a mahjong gathering in her house. One of the other people present was Xiong Daini. Her brother-in-law is Su Zheng, Deputy Commander of the CCDI, and her son is Su Xuyan, the owner of a listed company. Her family is equally influential with a strong political background that cannot be simply messed with. On that day, Xiong Daini was sitting on the East, while An Qi sat on the West, which was her favorite seat. Sitting on the South was Chang Ruyan, wife of the A City’s Governor, while sitting on the North was Miao Yu, daughter of An Qi’s classmate. She’s currently working in the finance department at the Ministry of Finance. An Qi had previously introduced this girl to her nephew, hence she’s also the future daughter-in-law of General An.” Mu Xiaosheng explained the relationship of the people involved.

With a straight face, Bai Rong recorded the seating positions of those involved, as well as their identities and relationships.

Never had she thought that she would come across these people in such a situation after 3 years.
