You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 187

She had an urge to hang up the phone immediately but she kept silent for a moment instead.

Out of everyone she knew, Gu Mingchen had the most power and was the only person who could help her.

Mu Xiaosheng was her benefactor. He had lent her a helping hand when she was in dire states. This reason alone was enough for Bai Rong to do everything she could to save him.

“I need a favor from you.” Bai Rong said softly, as she felt bad about asking him for help.

“Sure, tell me what is it?” The man sounded quite civil.

“I just heard that Mu Xiaosheng, the director of the research institute, was abducted by some people. Can you get those people to release him?”

“Do you know who those people are?” Gu Mingchen asked her.

“A man named Tony was killed in a ladies’ club and Mu Xiaosheng speculated that the last person who requested for Tony’s service might be the killer. He was abducted right after that. Only diamond-level club members are able to request for Tony’s service, so I suspect that it could be that diamond-level member who took him away. I’m worried they may harm him.” Bai Rong summarized the situation for him.

“OK, I’m clear. Where are you now?”

The woman did not want him to know her whereabouts and replied, “Why?”

“I am sending the chief of the Public Security Bureau of A City to that ladies’ club. He will assist you to find out information about that diamond-level club member. Those people will definitely release him after I get involved.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

“I see. I’m at Qing Feng Xu Lai.” Bai Rong replied in a barely audible voice.

There was a moment of silence at the other end of the phone before the man questioned her with an unhappy tone. “You went to the ladies’ club? Bai Rong, you rejected me when I wanted you, but you are OK with doing it with a stranger. Are you just self-demeaning or am I not able to satisfy you? Do you know how dirty they are?”

The man was exploding with rage and his choice of words grew increasingly unkind.

Bai Rong was thin-skinned. “It’s not what you are thinking. I accompanied Liu Yan here. We did not request for that kind of service. We just came here for spa treatment and to sing.” She replied.

“There are so many places to sing. Why do you have to go there?” He said sharply.

“I told you I am only accompanying Liu Yan.” The woman frowned slightly.

“Your legs are yours. If you don’t want to go, no one could have forced you to. Aren’t you very good at talking? Liu Yan is not an opinionated person. If you don’t want to go, she wouldn’t have insisted on going.” Gu Mingchen said with conviction.

Bai Rong was unable to outargue him and hung up the phone in frustration.

But she immediately regretted after that.

Her purpose of calling was to ask for his help. They had already made things clear earlier and no relationship existed between them. Why did she still feel so diffident?

However, as she had so abruptly ended the call, she was worried that the man would change his mind about helping her.

Bai Rong decided to be thick-skinned and dialed Gu Mingchen’s number again, but his phone was engaged.

She sighed, feeling unsettled. After waiting for one minute, she tried to call him again.

“I have already informed the director. He will be there within an hour. You should wait for him somewhere.” The man said coolly.

Bai Rong felt a warm surge in her heart.

Although Gu Mingchen appeared to be cold and tough that made him seem unapproachable, he was very adept at handling matters.

“Thank you.” She said gently.

“Actions speak louder than words. How are you going to thank me?” The man said in a deep voice. From his tone, she could tell that he was still angry.

“I’ll buy you a meal when you get back.” The woman hurriedly added.

“OK. That’s more like it. I still have some things to settle here.”

“Sorry to trouble you, Chief Gu.” Bai Rong said politely.

Chief Gu. She was using honorifics with him that made them seem distant. That roused his anger again. “Bai Rong, you are so forgetful.”

The women did not know what Gu Mingchen was referring to.

Before she could clarify what he meant, the phone line went dead.

“Rong, I have been searching all over the place for you. Who were you on the phone with? My calls couldn’t get through.” Liu Yan grumbled as she walked over and waved the card that was in her hand. “I am done with the registration and went inside to take a look just now. They even cater buffet.”

“I… “Bai Rong hesitated for a moment as she remembered Gu Mingchen’s words.

If he found out that she actually entered the club, he would definitely flip out.

“What about you? What are you waiting for? I have already booked a private room for us to sing. There will be food in the room too. C’mon babe.” Liu Yan said, as she put her arms around her friend’s shoulders.

“You didn’t request for any gigolos, right?” Bai Rong wanted to be sure.

“Even the cheapest ones cost five hundred. I found it too expensive. So, tonight we will only have each other.” Liu Yan said as she ushered Bai Rong into the room.

Bai Rong stopped overthinking and followed her friend in.

Anyway, she had a clear conscience and was not planning to do any of those things Gu Mingchen mentioned.

Inside the private room, a sumptuous buffet spread was laid out.

Liu Yan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the food and started digging in. Her stomach had been growling in hunger for some time.

After they were full, they started singing.

Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Liu Yan guessed that it was the club promoting gigolo services and opened the door. She was spot on. Standing at the door was a mamasan followed by two men wearing extravagant masquerade masks.

“Hey beautiful, today is our club’s giveaway day. You are entitled to receive free services from our boys today. I hope that you will have an enjoyable time.” The mamasan announced joyfully.

“Oh, free?” Liu Yan was not keen at first. But once she heard that it was free, she thought that it would be a waste if they did not accept it. “Alright, come in.”

Bai Rong was speechless.

Didn’t they agree that it would just be the two of them tonight?

“Yan, I don’t think it’s a good idea. What if they have some kind of…” Disease. Bai Rong couldn’t bring herself to say the word as she found it too hurtful.

“Miss, you don’t have to worry. We are all certified healthy, organic and carry no harmful substances.” The man in the wolf mask said jokingly. He sounded quite young from his voice.

“We are just going to ask them to sing and drink with us. Rong, what else were you thinking of doing huh?” Liu Yan teased.

“You two can both accompany her. I don’t need your service.” Bai Rong was still very resistant.

The man in wolf mask sat on Liu Yan’s right while the man in dragon mask sat on her left. She looked at the man on her left and asked, “Can you sing?”

The man shook his head.

“No wonder you are free. You guys must be only second-rate. And why are you wearing masks? Are you ugly?” Liu Yan was being her usual blunt and outspoken self.

The man in the dragon mask was speechless.

“Miss, we are not ugly. Because you don’t need to pay for anything, that’s why you cannot gain access to our looks. But the free service does include drinking and singing. That guy on your left, Not only is he not talkative, he hates singing even more.” The man in the wolf mask explained.

Liu Yan looked at the dragon mask man as her curiosity sparked. “You can’t even sing. Business must be bad for you.”

She left the man speechless again.

He lowered his head and whispered something in the woman’s ear. A blush spread across her cheeks as she looked at him in shock.

The corners of the man’s mouth curved into a bewitching smile as he poured some red wine in Liu Yan’s glass in a seductive manner.

Liu Yan took over the glass awkwardly. Without drinking, she dragged Bai Rong out of the room.

“Young master.” Said the man in the wolf mask worriedly.

Shen Yiyan raised up one hand as a signal for the man to stop talking.

When the two women were outside, Liu Yan said, “Rong, the man in the dragon mask said that he provides those ‘extra’ services and was telling me how good his skills are.”
