You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 74

The phone rang and rang but there was no answer.

“Damn it!” Liu Yan threw her phone angrily.

But Bai Rong was in danger now, so she couldn’t let her emotions get the better of her.

Liu Yan picked up the phone from the floor again.

Thank goodness, it isn’t broken!

She tried calling Gu Mingchen again, but there was still no answer.

At this point, Liu Yan was already close to breaking down in tears from the panic and fear.

“Answer the phone, Gu Mingchen! Her life is depending on you!” Liu Yan muttered to herself as the phone continued to ring, but there was still no answer.

Right as Liu Yan felt like throwing her phone in frustration again, Gu Mingchen called her back.

“Chief Gu, you finally answered! I was so stressed that I was prepared to kill myself over here!” Liu Yan said while sobbing.

“Get to the point. I’m in a meeting right now.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

“Okay. Chief Gu, please save Bai Rong! She’s been taken away by Su Xuyan! She has never slept with him at all! She was just lying to you about it! Also, I’m the real reason she couldn’t be with you! Su Xuyan recorded some inappropriate videos of me and threatened Bai Rong with them in order to keep her from getting a divorce! She really does like you, I promise! She only said those harsh things to you because she didn’t want to affect your bright future!” Liu Yan told him the truth about everything.

Gu Mingchen frowned. He knew Bai Rong must have her reasons for rejecting him.

“I’ll take care of this. Bye for now.” Gu Mingchen raised his hand and looked at his watch.

“You must handle it immediately, sir! It’s been a few minutes since they’ve left now. I fear you might not make it in time!” Liu Yan said urgently.

“Understood.” Gu Mingchen hung up and gave it some thought before calling the chief of police in A City.

“Hello, I’m from the military. The deputy director of the Ministry of Health, Su Xuyan is involved in a major case, and we need him to cooperate with the investigation. Locate his mobile phone immediately, and bring him in within ten minutes. This involves military secrets, so we must keep this highly confidential. Our lieutenant will come to deal with it.”

“Yes, sir. We’ll definitely cooperate with the military’s operations.” The chief of police promised.

On the road.

Bai Rong was looking out the window.

The heavy rain was hitting the window, and the scenery outside seemed blurry, just like her mind.

Su Xuyan looked at her, and saw that her face was still swollen.

He was well aware of how heavy his hit was, but he was too proud to apologize to her.

“Move back in with me. I’ll stay over every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.” Su Xuyan said.

Bai Rong gave him a sarcastic smile as she asked coldly, “What about Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday?”

“Don’t be too greedy.”

“You know I’ve always been a greedy person. I want my man to be loyal to me alone.” Bai Rong said calmly.

“What right do you have to demand my loyalty? What man doesn’t fool around outside these days? You women should just turn a blind eye to it. Makes your life easier that way.” Su Xuyan reminded.

“So……” Bai Rong squinted at him, “We should not be together if our views differ.”

Su Xuyan sneered at her, “To me, you are not even worthy of sharing a view with me.”

“Is that so?” Bai Rong was calm as she looked at the heavy storm outside.

Neither of them spoke, and the car was eerily silent.

“If you feel lonely, I’ll allow you to have a child with me. I’ll give you a hundred thousand every month. You can keep your job as a doctor if you want, it doesn’t matter to me.” Su Xuyan said.

Bai Rong kept quiet.

Su Xuyan frowned, “Did you hear me?”

Bai Rong turned to look at him, “I’ve been thinking. My social status and outlooks are nothing like Xing Jinnian’s, and she loves you so much too. So, why won’t you just get a divorce with me? Su Xuyan, have you perhaps fallen in love with me?”

Su Xuyan laughed, “You’re overthinking. How could I possibly fall in love with you?”

“Then why won’t you get a divorce with me?”

“Gu Mingchen likes you so much, so I should use you as bait to get him to make a mistake. That way, it’d be easier for me to rid him off his position. Wouldn’t you agree?”

Bai Rong couldn’t tell if what he said was true or not.

If it was true, then she would really have to cut all ties with Gu Mingchen.

Su Xuyan stopped the car.

Bai Rong looked in front and saw a barricade set up by the police.

There were a few police cars parked there as well. An officer approached them and knocked on the window.

Su Xuyan rolled down the window.

The officer produced his ID, “Su Xuyan, you are involved in an extraordinary case. Please come with us.”

“Me?” Su Xuyan paused for a moment, and smiled, “Was it the military that called and asked you to do this?”

“We don’t know, we’re just following orders. Get out now.” The officer opened the car door.

“Very well…… heh heh heh…… Well played……” Su Xuyan turned to Bai Rong and winked at her.

Bai Rong was getting worried now, as he seemed to be in a rather good mood even though he was being arrested.

Su Xuyan wouldn’t really use her as bait, would he?

No, he could never have guessed that she would know Gu Mingchen.

But then again, politics had always been unpredictable.

It was also possible that Su Xuyan came up with that plan after her encounter with Gu Mingchen……

Bai Rong’s phone rang.

She saw that it was Gu Mingchen calling, and hesitated before deciding to not answer.

A text message came in right after, and it was also from Gu Mingchen.

“I know you’re in the car. Answer my call within a minute, or I’ll come find you in the car.”

Bai Rong could feel his air of dominance through the text and picked up the phone when he called again.

Gu Mingchen was obviously angry as he kept quiet.

A moment later, he spoke up, “Are you alright? Are you injured?”

Bai Rong’s heart softened a little as she heard his voice.

She had seen it in a magazine once.

It said a great relationship was where either one or both sides grew towards the sunlight.

Clearly, that was not the case with her and Gu Mingchen.

“I’m fine, I’m not injured. Let Su Xuyan go, I’ll solve my own problems myself.” Bai Rong said softly.

Gu Mingchen really hated how she’d push him away each time.

“Must you distance yourself from me every time like that?” Gu Mingchen asked coldly.

“It is whatever you make of it.” Bai Rong said and hung up.

Gu Mingchen got out of his car and walked in the heavy rain.

Lieutenant Shang immediately held an umbrella over Gu Mingchen’s head.

One of his shoulders was drenched in the rain by the time he pulled open the car door and stared at Bai Rong who was in the passenger seat.

“Get out of the car and come with me.” Gu Mingchen said in a commanding tone.
