Bai Rong was worried that it would seem inappropriate if someone were to see him sleeping in her room, “Go sleep in your room.”
Gu Mingchen ignored her completely and kept his eyes closed as he continued to sleep in silence.
Bai Rong was about to continue analyzing the video when she heard Leng Qiuzun’s voice coming from the door, “Open the door.”
There was no way she could explain her way out of it if Leng Qiuzun were to see him in her room like this, “Gu Mingchen, wake up and hide somewhere.”
He didn’t respond and continued to sleep.
“Gu Mingchen!” Bai Rong started pushing him.
Gu Mingchen grabbed her hand and pulled her into him as he turned over and got on top of her, kissing her on her lips.
“Bai Rong, I know you’re in there! Open up, there’s something I need to talk to you about! Bai Rong!” Leng Qiuzun knocked hard on the door.
Bai Rong looked anxiously at the door, afraid that Leng Qiuzun would have the hotel staff open the door for him like how Gu Mingchen did earlier.
She looked at Gu Mingchen pleadingly, and he finally let go of her as he whispered, “Ignore him. You have already been acquired.”
“Gu Mingchen, stop messing around! Leng Qiuzun is my team leader as well as my superior. You’ll put me in a tough spot like this!”
“The military has taken over this case. I’ve already informed the State Council that I will be in charge of this case from now on.” Gu Mingchen explained as he sat up straight.
“Does this mean that I’m off duty now?” Bai Rong sat up straight as well.
“You weren’t part of the police force, to begin with, as they were the ones who approached the Research Institute of Psychology requesting for assistance. Similarly, the military can also seek assistance from the institute. So, Leng Qiuzun isn’t your superior right now, I am.” Gu Mingchen said patiently as he walked towards the door.
Bai Rong understood what he meant and quickly grabbed hold of him, “Don’t open the door. Go hide and let me open it instead.”
“Why do I have to hide? What are you afraid of, Bai Rong? Besides, I’ve already canceled my engagement with Su Wanning, so I’m single now.” Gu Mingchen said as he looked at her.
Bai Rong stared blankly at him, “You’ve broken off your engagement with Su Wanning?”
“Three years ago, she was still just like a younger sister to me. I can’t accept having a younger sister turn into my fiancée. Now, I don’t even see her as a younger sister anymore.” Gu Mingchen explained as he observed her facial expression.
“Has Su Zheng agreed to it?” Bai Rong stared at him in disbelief.
“He doesn’t have a say in this matter. Su Wanning had been frequenting some ladies’ clubs and had sex with more than five gigolos. His reputation would be destroyed if word gets out about this, and his chances at the election for commander-in-chief would be over. In fact, he wouldn’t even be able to keep his position as vice commander-in-chief. I had Su Wanning propose to cancel our engagement, so the Su Family wouldn’t have any objections.” Gu Mingchen said firmly.
“You’ve known all about Su Wanning?” Bai Rong was shocked as she had been trying to give him some hints about it, but it turned out that he knew it better than anyone else.
“Putting her affairs aside, I also know everything that’s been going on with you during the three years you were abroad.” Gu Mingchen said as he stared intensely at her.
Bai Rong felt like her emotions were in turmoil when she found out that he had been paying attention to her for the past three years.
However, as shocked as she might be, she still needed to deal with Leng Qiuzun outside her door.
