You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 162

When she arrived at the research institute, Bai Rong was still deep in thought.

If it was true that she was the only woman Gu Mingchen had, how could Su Wanning have contracted gynecological diseases as well as syphilis?

Did she really have other men in her life?

“Miss, we have arrived.” The driver’s thundering voice rang out.

It snapped Bai Rong out of her trance.

She paid her fare and climbed out of the car.

What was she thinking?

Even if Su Wanning was really cheating on Gu Mingchen, it had nothing to do with her.

That said, things sure changed more than she could have ever anticipated in a mere three years.

Mu Xiaosheng was on a rampage when Bai Rong stepped into the research institute.

“How the hell did the lot of you graduate? You love boasting when there’s nothing to do; but when push comes to shove, suddenly you’re all mute.”

“Isn’t there some industry genius who just joined us? Only she has the chance of getting this done.” Someone piped up bravely.

“What’s the point of keeping you here if we push all the work to her? All of you might as well pack your shit and leave now.” Mu Xiaosheng roared back, even more incensed now.

Bai Rong rapped on the meeting room door.

Mu Xiaosheng swiveled to look at her, a monstrous scowl that practically disfigured him plastered on his face.

Bai Rong smiled. “I’ll do it.”

Mu Xiaosheng clung to his last hope. “You’re the only one I can count on in times like these. Come with me to my office.”

In his office, Mu Xiaosheng tossed a few photos to Bai Rong.

She saw one miniature European style castle. It was made with a type of limestone that was no longer in use and its walls were overgrown with ivies. It was ancient and appeared to have been abandoned for some time, which gave it a creepy vibe.

The other photo showed a dead man in the middle of the room. He was lying in a fetal position and his fists were clenched tightly with a tortured expression marring his face.

“The man is Xiong Jinping, the brother of Xiong Daini and was the mayor of Pingyan City before his death, which happened in this castle. It was a locked room murder and his body had no external traces of foul play. It was only during the autopsy that they found out his brain had excessive internal bleeding, leading to his death. Besides, no poison was found in his system and he was not known to be taking any drugs either.” Mu Xiaosheng slowly explained.

The last photo showed another dead man in a room. his hands closed over his own neck, eyes bloodshot. His death was just as gruesome.

“This is Xiong Zhiqing, a lieutenant and military instructor at the Special Forces military base. As you can see, his death was just as horrific as the previous one. Both deaths occurred yesterday and the bosses are putting some serious pressure for this to be resolved within the week. We had no choice but to take the case.” Mu Xiaosheng sighed in exasperation.

Bai Rong nodded in understanding. “Great power comes with great responsibility. The more reputable we become, the more important image becomes as well, which inevitably brings pressure along with it. This research institute is one of the tops in the nation after all, so it should be expected.”

“Stop rubbing salt into my wound. I’ll leave this to you. Whatever expenses you require will be provided, so feel free to stay in the presidential suite, and an additional one thousand will be topped up for your efforts. Money is no issue as long as you can crack the case.” Mu Xiaosheng firmly declared.

“Do I head over now with the police?” Bai Rong asked, jumping into work mode.

“The police are placing this at the top of their priority list and have paid good money to hire an expert to assist with the case. His name is Leng Qiuzun, nicknamed the Lord, and he will be bringing an assistant with him. Furthermore, the police will be assigning two officers to the team, making it a total of five people. The Lord will take lead on this.”

“His fame precedes him. I heard that he is basically a hermit and barely comes out for anything other than cases. This will be a good chance for me to get a glimpse at this so-called legend.” Bai Rong joked.
