You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 127

“What did she say?” Zhou Min asked worriedly.

“She said the archives of every Secret Service unit are different and only the person-in-charge knows where it is, not even Gu Mingchen’s father. She will pay each of you a million as compensation instead.” Bai Rong said.

“So, this means we won’t return forever?” Zhou Min frowned.

“Maybe Gu Mingchen will regain his memories someday. Or maybe you could sign up for the military unit again as fresh recruits. I’m sure you will succeed with your excellent performance.” Bai Rong advised.

Zhou Min lowered her gaze. She, who was capable, strong, and unbeatable, was dispirited in an instant, “I’ll discuss this with them.”

“Good luck.” Bai Rong said apologetically.

They had ended up like this because of her, and she was plagued with guilt but couldn’t do anything about it.

Glory was the most important thing to a soldier, and this had just discredited all of their previous accomplishments.

She would be upset as well if she were in their shoes.

Bai Rong closed her room door and lay on the bed, but she didn’t sleep a wink.

Morning came, and she went through her morning routine as usual.

When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Min with six soldiers standing there waiting for her.

Bai Rong was shocked and looked at Zhou Min, “What happened?”

“We had a meeting last night and have arrived at a decision. Our previous mission was to find the killer of the Tangqian Village massacre. It has not been completed yet, so we will continue with it. The chief has forgotten about us now, so we will follow your orders from here on.” Zhou Min said on behalf of the soldiers.

Bai Rong looked at their faces.

They were staring at her with expressionless faces, but there was a powerful aura emanating from each of them.

It was very terrifying for a person to lose their life goals, so she could not reject their decision.

“We’ll do our best together.” Bai Rong encouraged them.

“We do not fear blood, sweat and hardship. We move forward firmly towards a goal!” The seven soldiers said in unison.

Bai Rong felt her spirits rise upon hearing that as she had finally found a purpose to go forward after living each day aimlessly like a zombie in the past two weeks.

Gu Mingchen might have forgotten about her and those comrades of his forever, but they would not forget their duty.

As such, she should take responsibility over them.

Life went on in an orderly manner.

Gu Mingchen had completely left her life, and there was no opportunity nor possibility of them meeting ever again.

She hardly received any news on him either due to the special nature of his job. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

At the end of this year, they finally found Lu Liangcheng’s lover after a long period of monitoring, tracking, and establishing connections.

She was the younger sister of the boss of Xingzheng Construction Company, while the manager of that construction company was her younger brother.

“Ms. Bai, we now have conclusive evidence to prove that the manager of Xingzheng Construction Company has a relationship with the person who smuggles the antiques. There is also evidence which shows that Lu Liangcheng and Ye Nuan have an abnormal relationship. Should we take action now?” Zhou Min asked cautiously.

“Lu Liangcheng sells the land to the Xingzheng Construction Company at a normal price, who then excavates cultural relics for smuggling. This act has no direct relationship with Lu Liangcheng. His records are clean, and him staying over at Ye Nuan’s place isn’t good enough to prove that they are having an affair. If we were to ambush them now without finding Lu Liangcheng’s treasury beforehand, we would only alert them of our presence. Send the intimate photographs of Lu Liangcheng and Ye Nuan to his wife and continue to observe them.” Bai Rong instructed.

“Roger that. Ms. Bai, will you be going back home for New Year?” Zhou Min asked worriedly.

Bai Rong paused and shook her head, “Let our comrades go home and reunite with their families.”

“Got it.” Zhou Min responded and headed out.

Bai Rong went out to the balcony and looked up at the sky.

The moon was shining very brightly as the cold wind grazed her skin. Bai Rong could feel her face go numb from the cold.

What could Gu Mingchen be doing right now?

Busy working?

Or has he already reunited with his family?

A knocking was heard on the door.

Bai Rong tidied her clothes as she looked out the peephole and saw a hotel staff holding a bouquet of roses.

She opened the door cautiously, and Su Xuyan stepped over from the side with a smile, “Long time no see, Bai Rong.”

“And I’d prefer to keep it that way.”

Bai Rong closed the door coldly, but Su Xuyan pushed it open, “I have news on Gu Mingchen. Don’t you want to hear it?”

“No. I want to rest now and my roommate will be back soon. Please pardon my lack of hospitality.” Bai Rong said decisively.

“Gu Mingchen has regained his memories.” Su Xuyan said.

Bai Rong paused and looked at Su Xuyan.

“He is able to recall up to five to six years ago, till the point when Zhou Hailan lost her life from that incident. Do you know what this means?” Su Xuyan said with a cold smile.

Bai Rong didn’t want to listen and tried to close the door but Su Xuyan forced his way in.

“This means that the most painful thing for him is not parting with you, but with Zhou Hailan.” Su Xuyan continued.

“Are you done?” Bai Rong was losing her patience.

“Don’t you think you’re very lucky? He refused to marry Su Wanning because he’s still suffering from the pain of losing Zhou Hailan.” Su Xuyan said sarcastically.

“Su Xuyan, you’ve said it yourself before that it’s impossible for me to be with Gu Mingchen. I am nothing more than someone who refuses to wake up from my dreams. From here on, I don’t want to know anything about him, be it good or bad.” Bai Rong looked away as she sat on the sofa.

Su Xuyan sat in front of her and his gaze softened, “Are you going home for New Year?”

“That’s not my home. I only went there to make my job easier.”

“There are other ways to make your job easier without having to rely on Xing Bachuan. For example, continue being my wife. I promise you can get whatever you want. Why continue to suffer alone in this terrible place?”

Bai Rong was amused by his suggestion.

“Su Xuyan, have you perhaps fallen in love with me?” Bai Rong asked.

Su Xuyan lowered his gaze, “I have not touched another woman since our divorce. I will compensate you for all that I owed you in the past. I swear on my father’s name that I am telling the truth this time.”

Bai Rong said calmly, “Su Xuyan, find a good woman and spend your life with her. Have a child of your own with her and enjoy a happy life. We are not suitable for each other and I don’t believe in love anymore. I will continue to spend the rest of my life being single.”

“What if I tell you that I have found your child who was taken away from you?” Su Xuyan observed Bai Rong’s expression.

Bai Rong stood up in surprise and asked him a few questions at once, “You’ve found my child? Where is he? How is he now?”

“That child belongs to you and Gu Mingchen. Would you go back to Gu Mingchen with the kid if you find him?”
