You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 125

Bai Rong did not know how much time had passed when she awoke and found Gu Mingchen next to her.

She frowned.

If she was to pretend not to know Gu Mingchen, she should be trying to sneak out right now.

Fearing that Baldy’s men might be stationed outside the door, that exit was not an option.

Things would only become worse if she were caught.

The woman deliberately touched Gu Mingchen’s hand to make contact with him.

His eyes instantly shot open and grabbed her hands, pinning her to the bed.

“Let go of me.” Bai Rong demanded but her tone clearly lacked some of its previous shrillness.

Gu Mingchen popped a pill into Bai Rong’s mouth.

“What did you just feed me?” Bai Rong’s eyes widened in shock.

He stopped her from talking by pressing his lips on hers.

She knew that the man would never do anything to hurt her.

He must be trying to save her.

However, the fear of uncertainty set in and exacerbated her already shot nerves.

She started to feel unusually warm.

Gu Mingchen propped her legs onto his shoulders and took her once again.

Throughout, she remained clothed.

Baldy cleared his throat while staring at the footage. “Damn it, he is having all the fun while I can only watch. I need to go and find a woman for myself now.”

“Should we keep watching them?” His subordinate asked a bit sheepishly.

“That is up to you.” Baldy put his suspicions to rest and drove away.

When he heard the sputtering of the engine downstairs, Gu Mingchen finally let his tight nerves relax slightly.

Ten minutes later, his phone sounded once before falling silent.

One ring meant that the camera was still on but they were no longer being watched.

He needed to keep Bai Rong in his room to keep her safe from the multiple beasts prowling outside.

Bai Rong was still feeling the drug’s effects and her body still felt wobbly. She continued drifting in and out of consciousness as she lay motionless on the bed.

Gu Mingchen tied her up and found a blind spot from the cameras. Lowering his voice, he said, “At 10 a.m. tomorrow, I will be taken to see their boss and you will be taken hostage. I will have two of my men stay by your side so do not be afraid.”

Bai Rong did not even have an ounce of strength in her and could only blink in acknowledgment.

“Please bear with it for one night. I discovered that Miller is their boss and he was the one who set off the bomb during the Gray Wolf military drill. He now possesses huge quantities of Weapon of Mass Destruction and has to be stopped.” Gu Mingchen elaborated.

Bai Rong understood, so she blinked once more before letting her eyes fall shut again.

Gu Mingchen handcuffed their wrists together before drawing a blanket over them.

She clutched his hands as tightly as she could.

He squeezed her back even stronger.

In the morning, someone knocked at their door.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes flew open and looked towards Bai Rong.

She furrowed her brows and Gu Mingchen taped her mouth before she could say anything.

It was safer if she stayed silent than to run the risk of her saying the wrong things.

He handcuffed her to the bed and went to open the door.

“Chief, Did you sleep well last night? We should be setting off soon.” Baldy checked out Bai Rong with his beady, disgusting gaze.

“Keep her with us for now. I will let you have her once I get bored of her.” Gu Mingchen said gruffly.

“Have not had your fill yet after a whole night?” Baldy teased playfully.

“She is Gu Mingchen’s woman, after all. I need to take full advantage of her at least. Five and Six, you better keep your eye on her. If I find out that she escaped under your watch, there will be hell to pay.” Gu Mingchen barked out his command.

“Yes boss.”

“I need to change.” Gu Mingchen headed for the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes. He glanced at Bai Rong one last time before leaving.

Bai Rong knew that he was in greater danger than she was.

When his mission was done, she would be able to escape too.

Before then, she was probably in unspeakable danger as well.

Time trickled by and her nerves remained tightly wound.

Three hours later, she heard the sounds of bombs being set off continuously.

Five barged in and undid her knots.

“Is he okay?” Bai Rong pressed; her anxiety had reached critical levels.

“You need to leave now.” Five replied, breaking into a sprint and dragging Bai Rong behind him.

His solemn expression did not help soothe her at all. “What happened? Where is Gu Mingchen? Is the mission completed yet?”

“Stop asking, you do not have to know. You just need to focus on getting out of here.” Five coldly replied.

Bai Rong pulled her arm from his grasp. “Where is Gu Mingchen now?!” She could hear her voice ringing with frenzy.

“I do not know. I was told to get you out of here. The chief has already retreated and will be contacting you when he has a chance. Please leave with me now and do not cause the chief any more trouble.” Five harshly beseeched.

Bai Rong figured he was right. If she was found by Baldy, she would become nothing but a burden to Gu Mingchen.

The pair sped away and were on the road for five hours.

Five raced all the way to Jinyang City.

Bai Rong kept her phone on her the whole time awaiting Gu Mingchen’s call.

It was three hours later when they reached Jinyang City but there was still no news from Gu Mingchen.

The woman had a bad feeling in her gut.

By right, Gu Mingchen should be safe one hour after the bombing. Could something have happened to him?

“Are there any colleagues you can contact? I need to know if he is okay.” Bai Rong begged Five.

She was met with stony silence.

Her temper started to flare and she dialed Gu Mingchen’s number.

“Sorry, but the person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.”

She felt totally helpless. “I am begging you to ask before I go insane with worry. All I need to know is that he is safe and I promise to leave you alone after that.”

Five shot her a look and coldly served her with, “Military matters are confidential. The chief will contact you when he can.”

Bai Rong knew it was pointless to continue trying.

She looked out the window, still overcome with worry.

Fifth left immediately after seeing Bai Rong back to the hotel’s entrance.

Zhou Min was in the room when Bai Rong entered.

The former was taken aback by Bai Rong’s unkempt state. “What happened?”

Bai Rong felt a glimmer of hope ignite as she clutched Zhou Min’s shoulder imploringly. “Are you able to get in touch with Gu Mingchen now?”

“I can try.” Zhou Min sensed that something was going on with Bai Rong and decided it was best to try and do as she said.

Bai Rong stared at Zhou Min anxiously.

“No one is picking up. Usually, this would mean that the chief is in the middle of something and it’s not convenient for him to answer. Maybe he is in a meeting or carrying out a mission.” Zhou Min explained.

“In a meeting? That’s not possible because he knows that I am looking for him. He should have let me know when he completed the mission because he knows that I am worried. There is no way he is still in the middle of the mission as it has already been three hours since the explosions.” Bai Rong murmured under her breath.

“Let me check with our teammates. Please try to calm down.” Zhou Min began to look distressed as well, rapidly pressing buttons on her phone.

Gu Mingchen remained missing. It was as if his whereabouts had been deliberately concealed and no one heard from him.
