You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 248
Chen Wei’s parents joined them.
No one visited Chen Wei’s house between the suspected time frames, and there were no suspicious
individuals lurking around. Everything was quiet.
Bai Rong watched the footage three times, but she never saw anyone suspicious.
“Did Wei buy those sedatives herself? That doesn’t seem possible either. Wei is a very obedient child,
and she would never buy something like that. She’s not depressed either,”mented Chen Wei’s
mom in a confused tone.
“I am going to kill that son of a b*tch!” growled Chen Wei’s dad angrily.
Bai Rong could tell what Chen Wei’s dad guessed. He must have assumed that someone harassed his
daughter.
“Calm down. The chances of your daughter taking the drug on her own is zero. If she had taken the
drug out of her own free will, it would not make sense for her to hold on to her phone like that. It’d make
even less sense that she’d take it with her coffee. We must’ve missed something,” said Bai Rong.
“We’ve watched the footage in its entirety three times. There is no murderer or anyone suspicious. It’s
not like the murderer could’ve crawled up from under the ground,” said Chen Wei’s father grimly.
Bai Rong immediately had an epiphany. “You’re right. The murderer might have crawled up from under
the ground! Let’s go. If they climbed into the room, then there had to be a hole there somewhere. It
hadn’t been that long since the crime took ce, so the culprit may not have filled the hole yet. Let’s
hurry over.”
With that, Bai Rong rushed out of the conference room with Cheng Jinrong close behind. Chen Wei’s
parents and the other detectives followed them.
They soon reached Chen Wei’s room, which was not that big.
Everyone started examining the ce.
“Move the closets and all other furniture aside,” instructed Bai Rong.
The police officers moved the furniture out of the way and discovered a dark hole underneath one of
the closets.
Seeing that got Chen Wei’s mother to break down immediately. “My baby!”
Bai Rong’s heart was especially heavy as well.
When someone is spying on you, no one would feel safe even if they’re home with their family. And
these people would not stop until they achieve what they tend to – even if that meant killing the person.
How can anyone prevent bad things from happening or be vignt about something like that?
“Go check the tunnel out and see where it leads,” instructed Bai Rong.
Some police officers went down, but they returned soon after to report, “It’s a dead-end down there.
Someone has blocked it.”
“What’s going on?” asked Chen Wei’s dad as he looked at Bai Rong.
“The killer blocked it to keep his or her identity hidden,” answered Bai Rong.
“What do we do now? Did Wei die in vain?” asked Chen Wei’s mother with a broken heart.
“The murderer didn’t get to fill the tunnelpletely. How big is the tunnel right now?” asked Bai Rong.
“It’s about thirty feet deep and three feet wide,” replied the police officer.
“From the volume, it seems that the culprit has quite a bit of soil left to get rid of. Besides, all those dug-
up soil has to be stored somewhere, and the culprit couldn’t dig the tunnel in public. Hence, the
murderer must be staying somewhere nearby!” said Bai Rong.
She turned to the police officers and instructed, “First things first – bring the security footage of the area
over. Next, get as many officers as you can to investigate this neighborhood. Any ce with excess soil
around would indicate that the murderer lives there. But do hurry up and try to get into the houses even
if the residents refused to let you into their ce or if no one is home. Check to see if there is any dug-
up earth stored at their housepounds.”
“Understood!” said the police officers before they started working on it immediately.
After they left, Bai Rong sat on Chen Wei’s bed and thought about the situation.
“We’ll find the murderer soon, won’t we?” asked Chen Wei’s mother nervously.
“Yes, it is likely we will apprehend the killer soon. This person knows about Chen Wei’s habits and
nned the murder ahead of time,” said Bai Rong rationally.
“Who would hurt my daughter? She has always been a good girl and has never offended anyone,”
cried the elderly woman between sobs.
Half an hourter, a police officer ran over and reported, “We’ve found the culprit. The person is staying
behind this house.”
Chen Wei’s father was the first one to rush over with Cheng Jinrong close behind. Bai Rong ran over
as well.
Even from a distance, she could see a thin person in a ck hoodie. The person had her head down,
so no one could tell what she looked like, but she was covered in dirt.
Cheng Jinrong rushed over and pulled her hood away. He gasped in surprise, “You?”
“It’s all her fault for seducing my boyfriend. You broke up with me for her!” roared Yang Ni, who seemed
mentally unstable.
“I thought you’d understand,” replied Cheng Jinrong, who couldn’t calm down either.
“Cheng Jinrong, you are nothing but an assh*le! I was there when you started your business, and I
slept with your clients to help you boost your career. You treated me like a tool, then discarded me
once you were done with me. Heck, you didn’t even hesitate to dump me. I am not someone you can
bully, you know? I am simply unlucky to have been caught. If I wasn’t, I would’ve killed you next,”
growled Yang Ni angrily.
“Take her away,” instructed Bai Rong solemnly.
“You really are something else. It only took you a few hours to help us find the killer. If we were even a
dayte, she could’ve flushed all the soil down the toilet, and all the evidence would’ve been gone.
What a crafty murderer,” said the police officer, who smiled as he praised Bai Rong.
Bai Rong nodded politely at the officer, but she felt terrible.
Love… must it always be either self-destruction or the destruction of another? If so, who on Earth
would still want love?
The police officers left soon after, and everyone became lost in their own thoughts. No one could
speak.
Bai Rong was the first toe around. She turned to Cheng Jinrong and said, “My condolences. You
can’t turn back time now, so you should just do what you are supposed to. I’ll take my leave now.”
“It’ste. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let me treat you to a meal,” suggested Cheng Jinrong as he
suppressed the pain in his heart.
“No, that’s not necessary. Take care of Chen Wei’s parents. They just lost their daughter, and you’re
like a son to them, so they are your responsibilities now,” replied Bai Rong, who spoke in a meaningful
tone.
Cheng Jinrong nodded and replied, “I understand.”
Then, Bai Rong turned to Chen Wei’s father, who was still in a daze. She said, “If Chen Wei was still
around, she’d wish that you’d live a happy life. Don’t be too sad.”
He slowly shifted his gaze to Bai Rong and asked, “Can I speak with you in private?”
“Sure,” replied Bai Rong.
The man then led the way while Bai Rong followed.
He went into a room and fished out a notebook from a locked drawer to hand it to Bai Rong.
Bai Rong didn’t know what he was trying to do, so she didn’t ept it.
“I truly appreciated your help in seeking justice for my daughter. Thank you,” said Chen Wei’s father in
a voice thick with tears.
“Just doing my job.”
He then shoved the notebook to Bai Rong and advised, “Don’t tell anyone about it and don’t show it to
anyone. Also, you should leave.”
Bai Rong had a strange feeling about it.
She felt like the notebook had something to do with the treasure. But Su Xuyan has already gotten his
hands on that piece ofnd… Is there something more to it?
“Luckily, I deliberately shared the wrong address. Haha, I really did dirty to the one who helped me,”
said Chen Wei’s father as he grinned bitterly and wiped his tears off. He walked out of the room before
Bai Rong did.

Deliberately shared the wrong address… Could it be… that the treasure wasn’t hidden at thend Su
Xuyan procured?
