You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 416 Thank You Gu Mingchen

“What is it?” she questioned before patiently waiting for him to continue.

“Xia He has been arrested. Soon, she’ll be going to the military court. If nothing goes wrong, she’ll be sentenced to death,” Gu Mingchen informed solemnly.

Hearing his words, Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat as the image of Xia He’s face surfaced in her mind.

She thought she had a miserable life, but it seemed like she was luckier than Xia He.

“Where was she arrested?” Bai Rong asked, a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

“She was caught the moment she appeared in A City’s airport. The one who arrested her is my old subordinate. He told me about it before he reported to the higher-ups,” Gu Mingchen answered.

“Do you think she’s a spy?” she inquired as she tugged her safety belt.

“In the beginning, yes. Since she and I were the only ones who survived, I thought it would be her. However, Zhou Hailan appeared. So now I think it’s either Zhou Hailan or her. However, Zhou Hailan was disfigured and locked up. She even suffered inhumane treatment and was forced to give birth to a child. Hence, the public would side her more than they would for Xia He. After all, Xia He had disappeared abruptly and returned completely unscathed.”

“So, even if she’s innocent, she still has to die,” Bai Rong whispered as the light in her eyes dimmed. Although she had only come into contact with Xia He a few times, she felt that the woman was a strong individual.

“To be honest, after Zhou Hailan appeared, I’ve sent my men to watch her. There was nothing suspicious about her these two years. If she’s the spy, it won’t make any sense.”

“So you think Xia He’s the spy too,” Bai Rong queried.

“More specifically, I don’t know. I think your words sound plausible too. If she’s the spy, she shouldn’t be living such a tragic life, and she wouldn’t need to come back.”

“Moreover, wasn’t she arrested the moment she appeared in the airport? That doesn’t sound logical, not unless someone knows her whereabouts well,” Bai Rong pointed out.

All of a sudden, Gu Mingchen stopped the car and cast a sharp look at the woman who was seated next to him.

Perplexed, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
