You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 243

She used to bear every single burden on her own and would suppress everything in her heart, regardless of how grave her situation was.

She had since changed and had finally found someone she could trust, someone she could confide in.

Bai Rong dialed Gu Mingchen’s number.

He was quick to pick up the call. “I thought you’d call sooner,” commented Gu Mingchen.

“Are you busy?” asked Bai Rong, who was worried about bothering him at work.

“I’ve already told you. You are the most important person in my life, and I will place you first before I consider anything else.”

Bai Rong’s lips slowly curved up as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

She remembered that Gu Mingchen was never a romantic guy, but his words could always make her feel warm and fuzzy inside. Right now, she felt like a piece of melting chocolate.

“Mingchen, did your men figure out where Tian is?” asked Bai Rong.

“Not yet. I haven’t received any report about it.”

“Su Xuyan called me earlier. He was with Tian, and I even got to chat with Tian a little via video conferencing. Haven’t your men found him?” asked Bai Rong curiously.

Gu Mingchen found that to be weird as well. “Wait, did you just say that Tian is with Su Xuyan? Hang on, I’ll call you right back,” replied Gu Mingchen.

He hung up the call and dialed the number of the men in the Shadow Samurais organization.

In the meantime, Su Xuyan had taken his earphones off. He looked ahead with blatant sorrow shining in his eyes.

Even after everything, Bai Rong had chosen Gu Mingchen. She told him everything and abandoned Tian and me. If that’s the case, then there is no point in showing mercy anymore.

Su Xuyan’s lips curved into an evil smile at that thought.

The war starts now.

“Where is Su Xuyan now?” demanded Gu Mingchen.

“He’s at home,” replied the man on the other side of the line.

“Did he leave today? Are you sure he’s home?” asked Gu Mingchen suspiciously.

“I’m sure. What’s wrong?” asked the man.

“The kid is in his house. Break into the house and investigate the matter tonight. Remember to be discreet and don’t let anyone see you,” instructed Gu Mingchen.

“Understood.”

After giving his instructions, Gu Mingchen called Bai Rong back. “I suspect that the child had been with Su Xuyan the entire time. Sleep well tonight, and wait for my call tomorrow.”

Bai Rong murmured, “Okay.”

However, she missed Tian too much and worried about his safety, so there was no way she could sleep. Tossing and turning in bed, she eventually decided to go for a jog. With that, she also put on her sneakers, grabbed a bottle of water, and headed to the hotel gym. Maybe I can sleep better after exercising.

The night dragged on.

At that moment, the head of the Shadow Samurais infiltrated Su Xuyan’s house and entered his room. The former saw that the latter was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The man then opened the door at the side of the room and noted that no one was there. However, he examined the entire room to search for any signs of the kid but found none. Thus, he thought that everything was a bit too odd.

Just then, he heard some strange noises echoing in the dark.

He crouched down and put his ear on the floor. The noise became more distinct, and it was obviously the sound of water running.

The member of the Shadow Samurais followed the sound and crawled for over an hour before he found a door that led to the basement.

He later left Su Xuyan’s place and got into his own car to call Gu Mingchen.

“How did it go?” asked Gu Mingchen. He never went to bed and had been waiting for the call all this time.

Gu Mingchen checked the time and noted that it was three in the morning.

“I found him. Su Xuyan’s room has a hidden compartment that led to the basement. It is likely that the kid is locked up in there. Should I go ahead and rescue the kid right away?”

“Yes, but don’t let Su Xuyan discover you,” instructed Gu Mingchen.

Su Xuyan was a trickster, so Gu Mingchen had to be careful at every turn.

The man then went back into Su Xuyan’s house once more and headed to the basement. As expected, he found a kid, who was sleeping on the bed at that moment. However, he was worried that the kid would suddenly wake up and alert Su Xuyan.

Hence, the man put a little sedative on his handkerchief and covered it over the kid’s mouth and nose for ten seconds before leaving.

Tian was still sleeping when he was taken out of the house and placed in the car. After that, the man called Gu Mingchen. “Chief, I’ve rescued the kid. Where should I take him now?” asked the man.

Gu Mingchen hesitated for a moment. He worried that Su Xuyan would go after the kid if they went to the Blue Sky Apartment. The kid is our biological son, and Bai Rong is also my legitimate wife, anyway. He’ll be safer in the military base… thought Gu Mingchen before he instructed, “Take him over to the military base.”

Two hours later, Gu Mingchen finally saw Tian. He looks just like Bai Rong, but he also resembles me a little. Still, he mostly takes after Bai Rong.

“Anything else, Chief?” requested the member of the Shadow Samurais.

“You’ve worked hard. Go home and rest,” said Gu Mingchen as he scanned Tian.

“Understood,” replied the man before he left Gu Mingchen’s apartment.

After he left, Gu Mingchen draped a blanket over for Tian. The former later checked the time and saw that it was already half-past five in the morning. I wonder if Bai Rong is up.

Gu Mingchen thought about it for a while before he decided against it. Instead, he sent her a text: Tian has been rescued. He is safe in the military base now.

Unbeknownst to him, Bai Rong couldn’t sleep at all. She jogged for an hour before she returned to her room and lay on her bed. Still, she tossed and turned without ever falling asleep.

When she saw Gu Mingchen’s text, she sprang up. Her eyes glowed with immense excitement, and she called Gu Mingchen immediately.

Seeing Bai Rong’s call prompted Gu Mingchen to turn his phone’s volume off immediately. After that, he went out of the room to pick it up and spoke in a soft voice, “Did I wake you up?”

“No, did you check how Tian is? He’s not injected with any viruses, is he?” asked Bai Rong nervously.

“I don’t think so. He’s sleeping soundly. If you weren’t woken up, then did you stay up all night?” asked Gu Mingchen, his heart broken into pieces at the thought.

“No, I just woke up early, that’s all. Can I see Tian? Even for just one minute? One minute will do,” requested Bai Rong. She couldn’t believe that it was all real – that Tian was rescued that easily.

This is too surreal. Am I… dreaming?

“Okay, let’s switch to video call,” replied Gu Mingchen sweetly.

With a tap of a button, Gu Mingchen accepted the call. He later pushed the door open and entered the room to point the camera at the sleeping Tian.

Bai Rong covered her mouth in astonishment. A smile lit up on her face, and she was so happy that tears of joy were rolling down her cheeks.

Sighing in relief, she was glad that it was all finally over, and she could be with Gu Mingchen.

Previously, she had always felt unsettled because they hadn’t rescued Tian.

Gu Mingchen grinned when he saw Bai Rong crying with happiness. He got up and walked out of the door before saying, “You should feel better now that you’ve seen him. It’s still early, so go get some sleep.”

“Okay,” replied Bai Rong.

“Go on,” reminded Gu Mingchen before he hung the phone up and kept it away.

He planned on sleeping for two more hours because he had something important planned for the day.

Just as he was ready to hit the sack, the security rushed in at that moment. “Chief, something terrible happened. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent their people over. They are looking for you.”
