You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 249

Feeling thoroughly sorry for what had happened, Cheng Jinrong stood outside the entrance and looked into the room.

Chen Wei’s father closed the door, leaving Cheng Jinrong where he was.

Bai Rong could surmise that the traitor whom Chen Wei’s father mentioned was probably Cheng Jinrong.

If the treasure was somewhere else, it might be because Chen Wei’s father was being cautious. Instead of the mastermind, Cheng Jinrong was on the receiving end of the message. Chen Wei’s father was hoping to muddle the mastermind and at the same time coax Cheng Jinrong into marrying his daughter. Once things were done, he would disclose the exact location.

What he had planned and done was all for his daughter.

Sadly, she died in the hands of her love rival.

He must have been furious with Cheng Jinrong and himself.

If he hadn’t cajoled Cheng Jinrong with the treasure, he wouldn’t have broken up with his daughter, and she would still be alive.

That was why he gave Bai Rong his notebook that contained crucial information about the treasure.

She wasn’t in it for the fortune. All she wanted was to fulfill the promise she made to Tang Xiaojiu by tracking down the murderer, having the person incarcerated, and returning the treasure to the country.

As for Gu Mingchen and her, only fate would know if they would still end up together.

Since she had fulfilled her promise to Cheng Jinrong, it was time for her to deal with her own issues.

After she slotted the notebook into her bag, she trudged to the entrance. “I shall take my leave then, Mr. Chen. Take care.”

With tears brimming in his eyes, he nodded and opened the door for her.

Cheng Jinrong didn’t move an inch.

“It’d be better if you leave. Seeing you would only make Chen Wei’s parents feel worse. Wait till they’re over it, and then you can make up to them by supporting them to the best of your ability.” Bai Rong went up to him and offered her advice.

“You’re right. Well, I guess I went for wool but came home shorn. I deserve this.” He let out a bitter sigh. “Anyway, where are you headed? Need a ride?”

“No.” There were some things that she had to deal with on her own.

“Okay, then.”

As she walked toward the main road, she drew her phone out and gave Su Xuyan a call.

“What’s up? Missing me so soon?” He chuckled vilely.

Despite the chills running down her spine, Bai Rong pulled herself together and snapped, “My work here is done, and I’ll be going back to A City now.”

“Are you playing me for a fool?” Su Xuyan was enraged as he was already on the train to Jadeborough.

“It’s not me who decides when a case is solved. If you think that’s what I’m trying to do, so be it. Bye.” She hung up, took a cab to the hotel, and proceeded to check out.

As she walked past the room which Gu Mingchen had booked, she paused. Their plan to meet here had dissolved into thin air as things unfolded. All the hopeful outlook they had was just a pipe dream now. “Wait for me, Gu Mingchen.” She turned to the door and murmured as her heart wrenched in pain.

On her way to the train station, she phoned Lu Xingzhou.

“Speak up!” It was evident that the man wasn’t in his best mood.
