You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 132

Bai Rong stood up straight and leaned to the side defensively.

Gu Mingchen realized that he had been too abrupt in his approach and let go of her before asking her coldly, “Which station do you get off at?”

Bai Rong lowered her head and clenched her fists slightly to calm herself down as she answered, “A City.”

“It’s another five hours ride from here to A City. Come with me, I have things I need to ask you about.” Gu Mingchen demanded in a dominant tone that wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Bai Rong thought to herself, Had Gu Mingchen not forced his way into my world like that back then, I probably wouldn’t have fallen in love with him. I had wanted to pull myself out of it quite a few times, but now that I have fallen too deeply in love, he ended up pulling himself out cleanly instead.

Bai Rong walked towards her own carriage while Gu Mingchen followed behind her.

He scanned the seats and saw that they were all taken, “Didn’t you say you have a spot?”

Bai Rong then reached over to grab her luggage but couldn’t reach it, so Gu Mingchen helped her get it down.

Bai Rong explained, “There are so many people in the carriage. Isn’t it normal that someone would take my seat after I stand up?”

“Is that so?” Gu Mingchen didn’t really believe her.

If someone did take her seat, they should stand up when she returned.

Mu Xiaosheng looked at Bai Rong, then at Gu Mingchen and stood up heroically, “What’s the matter? Do you need help?”

Bai Rong shook her head, “Thank you.”

She walked forward, but Gu Mingchen took her to his private cabin.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would always have thought that the train only had hard-bed sleepers, soft-bed sleepers, seated and standing spots.

His cabin had a 1.8m by 1.8m sized bed, a table with a coffee pot, some fruits, a computer and a sofa.

“Sit.” Gu Mingchen pointed at the sofa.

Bai Rong sat down.

Gu Mingchen sat in front of her, “Zhou Min told me that I trusted you a lot, which is why you played a critical role in Operation Antique. How did I get to know you?”

Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen and said, “You were on a mission, and needed a gynecologist. I happened to be the gynecologist who took part in that operation and that was when we met. Your subordinate, Lieutenant Shang, would be able to confirm that.”

“Lieutenant Shang? What’s his first name? He’s one of my men?” Gu Mingchen was confused.

Bai Rong recalled that Su Xuyan had mentioned that Gu Mingchen could not remember anything that happened after his girlfriend’s death.

He was still a lieutenant in the Special Forces and Lieutenant Shang did not work under him then.

Judging from the circumstances, it seemed like Lieutenant Shang had already been secretly reassigned and was most likely Gu Mingchen’s father, Gu Tianhang’s doing.

She felt a slight pain in her pinky finger and covered it with her left hand as she whispered, “I’m not close to him and we have not been in contact, So, I don’t know what his full name is. I’m not even sure if he’s someone whom you assigned responsibilities to often.”

“What’s wrong with your finger?” Gu Mingchen frowned in confusion.

“I was kidnapped once and it was chopped off during that time.” Bai Rong said softly.

“My pinky finger is missing too. Does that have anything to do with you?” Gu Mingchen pressed on.

Bai Rong smiled as she felt a mix of anger, sadness, despair and regret.

However, she could not blame Gu Mingchen as he had protected her with his life back then and it was not his intention to lose his memories.

Had Gu Mingchen died instead, she would have killed herself as well.

However, he was still alive and had only lost himself.

Her dying wouldn’t help her find the old Gu Mingchen back anyway, so all she could do was to let him go.

“No. Maybe they just love cutting off pinky fingers.” Bai Rong said coldly.

“I’ve checked the files. Operation Antique is related to the Tangqian Village massacre. Are you aware of this matter?” Gu Mingchen continued.

“It all started with a governor named Cheng Bin. He was murdered and people suspected you of it, so you investigated Tangqian Village in order to prove your innocence. The person who killed him was Tang Xiaojiu, the son of the village head. You can find more details on this in your inbox.” Bai Rong said casually.

“If I have told you all this, that means we must be very close. Yet, you are very cold towards me.” Gu Mingchen felt things weren’t that simple.

Bai Rong’s tone grew even colder, “This is my nature. As soon as Chief Gu looks up my background, you will know that I had been married and divorced, and that my mother is mentally ill. Optimism and liveliness are bound to be absent in such a living environment. I am cold to anyone and everyone.”

“I would like your full cooperation in this case. Is that ok?” Gu Mingchen asked with a cold look in his eyes.

“No. I only took up the role back then because you had lost your memories. Now that you are back in action, I should be taking my leave.” Bai Rong said rationally.

It had been six months, so she was very well aware of her capabilities.

Gu Mingchen had Zhou Min by his side so he wouldn’t need her, and she didn’t want to have anything to do with him either.

She thought she would be less sad if she cut off all ties with him as she feared that she would become the next Bai Bing if she continued to feel depressed like this.

“If you need anything, feel free to have Zhou Min let me know.” Gu Mingchen said coldly and went back to work on his computer.

Bai Rong closed her eyes.

Gu Mingchen had not given her his phone number this time, which showed that he wanted to be out of her life completely.

Perhaps that was for the better, as she had chosen to let him go and should see it through.

She had not slept at all the night before, and had fallen asleep very quickly as she was too tired.

She was woken up by someone shaking her.

Bai Rong opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep on Gu Mingchen’s bed.

“We’ll arrive in about ten minutes.” Gu Mingchen said.

Bai Rong got out of his bed and went to wash her face in the bathroom before coming back.

She nodded at Gu Mingchen, “Thank you for your hospitality, Chief.”

“Do you need me to have someone send you home?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“No need, my friend is waiting to pick me up at the entrance. Again, thank you, and I wish you good health, a happy life and a bright future ahead.” Bai Rong said everything she had wanted to say, and walked out of his carriage with her luggage. She walked to the train doors and looked at the scenery outside.

It had been such a long time since she came back to A City. It was a much warmer and friendlier place compared to Jinyang City.

She smiled as she thought to herself, this is where I grew up in. Even if I were to die, this should be where it is…
