You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 183

“He’s barely thirty. How old was Su Xuyan?” Bai Rong asked persistently as she side-eyed Gu Mingchen.

He looked at her broodingly. “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to be so concerned about your ex-husband in front of me?”

“I’m just asking casually.”

“Your casual questions mostly revolve around your ex-husband. If you’re asking me seriously, won’t all your questions be about him? Have I been too lax to you?” Gu Mingchen asked the last question sternly.

Bai Rong shut her mouth up.

What was her relationship to him?

He was being too controlling.

She walked into the interrogation room and glanced at the person’s particulars. “Where were you on 12th April 2020?”

“I was filming. I’m a videographer so I must be present during a shoot.” The videographer replied indignantly.

“What film were you shooting?” Bai Rong asked expressionlessly.

“What film? Didn’t you watch it? Isn’t my feature shoot good? It’s super clear. Both men and women love to watch my videos.” The videographer said lewdly.

“I didn’t see the feature shoot. However, I did catch you talking about going to the premiere for Beauty Ocean. The premiere was in June 2019, so your video wasn’t taken on the night of 12th April 2020. Speak! What were you doing on the 12th of April?” Shouted Bai Rong sternly.

The videographer looked at Bai Rong in confusion and his eyes glistened. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what I’m talking about, as long as the court knows. It’s a virtue to be righteous, and a duty to be filial. Will your ageing grandma think that you’ve done the right thing by shouldering the blame for someone else?” Bai Rong asked as she examined the videographer’s face.

Fear flashed across his eyes. “Don’t tell my grandma.”

“I won’t tell her. But rumors will spread and the version that eventually reaches her might be even bloodier and darker. Are you sure you want to be the mastermind behind this murder case? You have not even fulfilled your duty of being filial. Perhaps, your grandma won’t even want to see you.” Every single word from Bai Rong stabbed the videographer’s heart.

“I actually don’t know anything.” The videographer said as he panicked.

“Then tell me what you know.”

“Mai Sen and I are work partners. He was in charge of luring beauties to willingly take part in filming. Then, we’ll either publish the videos online to earn some money or sell them to film companies in Japan.”

“He brought a girl called Wang Donger last year and said that she’s very different. I was only responsible for filming them, while Mai Sen handled other matters.”

“One day, they asked me to film a horror video and said that they had a way to publish it on a video-streaming platform.”

“We started to shoot but the scenes were too gory, violent, realistic and erotic. It was not approved at all. Then, Wang Donger and Mai Sen disappeared so I started to shoot my own short movies.”

“Mai Sen contacted me on the night of the 12th of April. He told me that if someone asked me, I should say that I was filming on the 12th of April. That was what happened.” The videographer narrated.

“Once we have confirmed that you were being truthful, we’ll let you go.” Bai Rong stood up and realized that Gu Mingchen was already standing outside the door.

“I’m going to interrogate Wang Donger now.” Bai Rong said to Gu Mingchen.

“Although she might admit to the filming, she’ll definitely deny the murder. I’ve read Wang Xiahe’s diary and noted down the parts which mentioned Wang Donger. Take a look at it first.” Gu Mingchen passed the folded document to her.

Now she knew why he looked so exhausted. He probably spent the entire night looking through it.

“Why didn’t you give it to me earlier?” Bai Rong asked confusedly as she received the document from him.

“The contents are a bit heavy and I didn’t want to spoil your mood. You’ll know once you read it.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

Bai Rong flipped open the document.

After reading it, she indeed felt uneasy and gloomy. It felt like the uncomfortable humidity hanging in the air after a thunderstorm.
