You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 98

“Xia He has political conflict due to the previous incident. Her words cannot be taken as testimony.” Gu Mingchen explained to Bai Rong.

“Then who was the one who killed Tang Xiaojiu? Is this related to the gold bar incident? Or is it because someone didn’t want you to find out the truth and prove your innocence?” Bai Rong had a headache thinking over the situation. She had to lean on Gu Mingchen’s shoulder to ease her headache.

Gu Mingchen remained silent as he couldn’t wrap his head around the situation as well. The man turned to the girl lying on him and tightened his grip on her hands.

“Chief, should we eat something? Both of you haven’t eaten anything today.” Chen Zhi suggested.

“Alright, let’s find somewhere else for dinner. We cannot stay back in our previous room anymore. I suspect someone followed us here. Be alert of any spies and hidden cameras. We need to find a safe place to stay the night.” Gu Mingchen instructed.

“Roger that.” Chen Zhi answered and stopped in front of a restaurant.

Bai Rong opened the door, only to hear a loud clunk. The girl instinctively turned to the source of the sound.

It was a dagger. Seemed like it belonged to Tang Xiaojiu.

The girl picked up the dagger in surprise. “How on earth did Tang Xiaojiu’s dagger get into the car? I remember he never rode with us and he had been holding it in his hands!”

Chen Zhi’s face paled at the sharp blade. “Don’t tell me his ghost placed it in our car?”

Gu Mingchen glanced at his subordinate. “Don’t talk nonsense; there’s no such thing as ghosts! If his ghost had the ability to put the dagger in our car, then he should’ve used it to kill the man who murdered him instead.”

“That’s true. But how on earth did it get into our car?” Chen Zhi was confused by the sight. The dagger’s appearance really creeped him out.

Gu Mingchen turned to Bai Rong. The moment he glanced at her pocket, the alert man immediately understood how the dagger ended up in their car.

“Rong, Tang Xiaojiu was still alive when you rushed to him, right?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Yes, I’m very sure. But not for long.” Bai Rong replied in an upset tone.

“He had used up all his strength just to put that dagger into your pocket. You were in an emotional state at that time, that’s why you never felt it. The moment you entered the car, the dagger slipped out because your pocket was shallow and it fell out of the car once you opened the door.” Gu Mingchen analyzed.

Chen Zhi’s confusion was cleared by his chief’s deductions. “I think the deductions make sense. But what’s the reason for putting the dagger in Madam’s pocket?”

Bai Rong blushed at the formal address and clarified, “I’m not your Madam.”

Chen Zhi glanced at his chief, trying to read his expression. “I thought it’s just a matter of time before you’re Madam?”

Gu Mingchen did not deny the statement. He took the dagger and had a good look at it. Then, he twisted the handle and noticed it was hollow inside. The man inverted the handle and a USB drive dropped onto his hands.

Bai Rong looked at the USB drive in astonishment. “A USB drive! What do you think it contains?”

“Let’s get in the car.” Gu Mingchen replied alertly.
