You Owe Me, My Love

“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.

I don’t want to die without knowing the reason like my fellow villagers. 5 years ago, we dug out a hole in our village; inside the hole contained 10 metal caskets. To our delight, the caskets contained gold bars. There were at least a thousand of them! Besides, we also discovered a treasure map. My father suggested handing over the treasure to the country and central government but I did not agree to that. What did our country ever do for us? For so many years, our government never helped us to pave the roads nor provide much needed electricity. With so much gold to spend, we can sell them to
