You Owe Me, My Love

“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.
