You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong did not wish to be a burden to the investigation process and wanted to make some contributions. Even though the men were not around, she continued searching the room for clues. When she didn’t find anything weird with the room, she searched the bedroom again. She crouched down to look underneath the bed but couldn’t see anything as it was too dark. Bai Rong flashed the torchlight at the dark space and noticed that there was a floorboard under it.

She knocked on it and it sounded hollow. Bai Rong felt excited. There’s a tunnel down there. Maybe there’s something in it.

After prying the floorboard open, she noticed that there was a ladder leading downward. She didn’t dare to go down, for fear that there might be something down there that would harm her. The woman wanted to wait for Gu Mingchen and Chen Zhi to come back before going in there.

After ten minutes or so, someone jumped out of the tunnel. It was a woman.

The woman frowned at Bai Rong, then she looked at the tunnel again. “Get in.” She ordered.

Bai Rong didn’t want to, but the woman took out a gun. “I don’t want to hurt you, but if this misfires, don’t blame me.”

Bai Rong took a look at the gun which was pointing at her and had no choice but to get in.

The woman snatched Bai Rong’s phone and placed it in her bag. She then tied Bai Rong to a wooden pillar and sealed her mouth with a black tape. A moment later, the woman started packing her things up.

Bai Rong saw that there were a few hundred thousand in cash in her bag, as well as some guns and simple clothing.

After the woman slung her bag over her back, she looked at Bai Rong. “Judging from your clothing, the way you behave and the way you look, you are not a soldier.”

Bai Rong looked at her quietly.
