You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 178

As proud and arrogant as he might be, he let go of Bai Rong and disappeared from her sight quickly.

Bai Rong closed the door after he left.

The world was finally peaceful and she had gotten what she wished for.

However, she couldn’t shake the inexplicable feeling of loss, sadness, and regret in her heart.

She didn’t go for lunch as she didn’t want to see Gu Mingchen, so she stayed in her room and had some instant noodles.

But the noodles were too hard and made her stomach uncomfortable, so she decided to go out and buy some fruits instead.

She opened the door and saw Leng Qiuzun standing outside. He was just about to knock on her door.

“What is it?” Bai Rong asked.

“They’ve arrested Wang Donger and brought her eyewitnesses in as well. One of them was her partner and the other was a photographer. I suspect that their confessions have been rehearsed ahead of time as they are all identical, claiming that they were filming at the time of the crime.” Leng Qiuzun said solemnly.

“Where were they filming?” Bai Rong asked.

“I’ll send it to your computer in a bit. We’ll interrogate Wang Donger at the station later at 2 p.m.. Try and see if you can find any weaknesses that we can use to break through Wang Donger’s psychological defenses.”

“Have you watched it?” Bai Rong asked.

Leng Qiuzun blushed, “I have.”

“Was it before or after editing?”

“After.”

“Send a copy of the unedited version to my mailbox. I’m going out to buy some fruits now and will watch it when I get back. I’ll head over to the station with you guys at 2 p.m. later.” Bai Rong said.

“Alright. What fruits do you want? I’ll have someone buy them for you.” Leng Qiuzun said with a spark in his eyes.

“I saw some fruit stalls near the hotel. I’ll just head over by myself.” Bai Rong refused his offer.

Leng Qiuzun was feeling awkward now. “Then help me buy some apples, pears and mangosteens while you’re at it. I love mangosteens.”

Bai Rong was silent as she watched Leng Qiuzun leave after saying that.

She didn’t want to argue with him as they wouldn’t be working together for long since they were about to solve the case soon anyway.

She went to the fruit stall and bought some apples, pears, mangosteens, oranges and bananas, which cost ninety-six.

Right as she was digging through her wallet for the money, someone handed the cashier a hundred bucks.

Bai Rong looked up and was shocked to see Gu Mingchen, “You’ve come to buy fruits too?”

Gu Mingchen didn’t even look at her as he said, “I had come to buy some fruits for you and ended up seeing you here. Have you had lunch?”

“I didn’t want to as I didn’t have any appetite.” Bai Rong said.

Gu Mingchen took the fruits over and looked at Bai Rong.

He was so big and tall that he looked like a giant steel wall as he stood in front of her.

Bai Rong felt a little awkward, “Some of them are for Leng Qiuzun.”

Gu Mingchen ignored her and walked towards the hotel entrance while Bai Rong followed behind him.

They went into the elevator in silence.

“Bai Rong.” Gu Mingchen called out suddenly.

“Hm?” Bai Rong looked up at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.

“I want you to watch something with me.” Gu Mingchen said.

“Are you referring to Wang Donger’s film?” Bai Rong asked.

No, we won’t find anything out of the edited version. I requested for the unedited version to focus on the bystanders.” Gu Mingchen reminded the woman.
