You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 169

Gu Mingchen only brought two people along for supper.

The police chief said with great hospitality, “Thank you for coming down despite being so busy. Let me introduce everyone. Mr. Leng Qiuzun, Assistant Leng, Ms. Bai Rong, Wang and Lee.”

After introducing the people on Bai Rong’s side, the director introduced Gu Mingchen and his group. “This is Mr. Gu, whom the military sent over to aid in this investigation. These are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng.”

Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng?

Bai Rong guessed that the police chief was not aware of Gu Mingchen’s real identity.

Leng Qiuzun glanced at Gu Mingchen and did not greet him.

Bai Rong felt extremely guilty.

She was the woman behind Gu Mingchen—a secret that was concealed and kept in the dark.

Once the secret was exposed, there would be a lot of trouble knocking up their doors.

Worried that Leng Qiuzun would see through her, she did not greet him either.

When the police chief saw that the people on both sides were not very courteous towards each other, he felt slightly awkward. “Everyone, please take a seat. You must be hungry already. Let’s eat first!”

Everyone sat down. Bai Rong sat on the opposite side of Gu Mingchen, while Leng Qiuzun sat beside her.

However, Bai Rong’s foot was suddenly caught between two feet. Frowning slightly, she looked at Gu Mingchen.

He still looked extremely relaxed as he twirled the wine glass in his hand, not returning her gaze at all.

This man has his childish moments too.

Bai Rong pulled her foot away.

“After eating, we’ll stay in the castle. Can you prepare some mats for us?” Asked Leng Qiuzun straightforwardly.

“You’re going to spend the night in the castle?” The police chief was very surprised.

“We’re here to investigate the case, not to travel. The faster we solve the case, the better. I still have other things to do.” Leng Qiuzun stated assertively.

“Oh, alright then. I’ll arrange for it now. However, I must remind you that there are strange noises coming out of the castle at night. The locals don’t even dare to go near the place. Actually, something happened in the castle last time.” The police chief said.

“What happened?” Gu Mingchen asked coldly.

The director explained, “We didn’t report this incident because we’re afraid that it might have undesirable impacts. In the past, there were a few mischievous high school students who ran into the castle. Only one person emerged, but he lost his mind.”

“Were the remaining children found?” Bai Rong asked.

The director shook his head. “We sent some brave policemen to search the castle the next day but our efforts were futile. We didn’t even manage to find their corpses. So you must be careful when you enter that place.”

Although Bai Rong was an atheist, hearing this sent shivers down her spine. Because she knew that the most terrifying thing on Earth was not ghosts, but the human heart.

Gu Mingchen kicked her gently. Bai Rong regained her senses and looked at him.

“I think the girls shouldn’t stay there.” Said Gu Mingchen.

Bai Rong knew he was being concerned about her and it warmed her heart.

“That’s what I think too. Anyway, girls are scaredy-cats. They can just rest and wait in the hotel.” Leng Qiuzun remarked sarcastically.

Bai Rong could tell that Leng Qiuzun was deliberately targeting her. The warmth in her heart instantly dissipated. “There’s no need for that. Let’s go together. I want to solve the case quickly too.”

After Bai Rong spoke, the atmosphere became weirder and everyone fell silent.

The police chief laughed awkwardly and said, “Eat up! Pingyan’s puffer fish is very famous. There’s also the saury which you can’t eat anywhere else.”

As Bai Rong had never eaten puffer fish before, she picked a slice up and placed it into her mouth.

It was prickly like a hairy pig’s skin. She quickly spat it out.

“Not suited to your taste?” The director asked, feeling concerned.

“Yeah.” Bai Rong admitted.

“I have heard about Ms. Bai. I thought you’d be an old lady, but I never expected you to be so young and pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?” The police chief asked.

That question made Bai Rong feel awkward.

“Not yet.” Said Bai Rong half-heartedly.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes glinted with unhappiness and he kicked her again.
