You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 28

“No, Chief. This task is too dangerous.” Lieutenant Shang was sweating out of anxiety.

Gu Mingchen lowered his head to pack his stuff and was very determined, “This is a private matter of my family. Who do you think is more suitable to go than myself?”

“No, sir. I believe the other special forces would be very proud to accept this mission.”

“Lieutenant Shang, ran 20 laps with 10 kilograms loaded. You’ve talked too much.” He said coldly while sorting his things then turned around and set off to the scene of the crime.

By the sea, a group of armed SWAT lined up neatly with rifles in their hands. Xing Bachuan was sitting in the car with black windows. Next to him sat a man in the same clothes, who looked very much like him.

Gu Mingchen was escorted into the car by the police.

Xing Bachuan hung up the call with the kidnappers and said to Gu Mingchen, “They promised to have two people accompany me to the island. You must ensure the safety of my daughter.”

Gu Mingchen glanced over Xing Bachuan’s face indifferently. The man even found a substitute for himself. He was really afraid of death.

Gu Mingchen didn’t speak; he took Xing Bachuan’s cell phone while escorting the fake governor and boarded the yacht.

“Chief, I will go with you.” Lieutenant Shang rushed over. If something happened to his chief, he would definitely not live long; so he might as well come over and protect the chief.

“Stand by.” Gu Mingchen ordered; set off and head to the desert island.

After reaching the island, he called Saudi and found out that the phone was switched off. He shuttled suspiciously in the deserted forest. The more he walked, the more surprised he became. The surroundings were too quiet, to a point that it felt peaceful.

Finally, he saw a wooden house in front which was illuminated from light from the stars. He surveyed the surroundings cautiously and quickly leaned against it. He opened a gap in the window and peeped inside. Bai Rong was hanging in the middle of the house with a rope. Her mouth was stuffed with cloth. Bruises were all over her hands. She looked cold and pale.

She was looking hollowly at the empty space. It was not clear whether she was strong or too frightened, because she looked way too calm.

Gu Mingchen felt nervous. He scanned the room and found no one else inside. So, he quickly pushed the door and went in.

Bai Rong looked at him. Her big eyes were locked tightly to his sturdy face absent-mindedly. She kept on looking…until a smile touched the corner of her lips as her eyes slowly turned red.

Some people said that when God closes a door, he opens a window.

Gu Mingchen ran over quickly to untie the rope on her hand and pulled off the strip of cloth from her mouth.

He saw the red mark on her face, then frowned slightly while feeling distressed and asked worriedly, “Are you all right?”

Bai Rong shook her head.

He took pity and blew on her red, swollen hand, then said in a rarely occurring soft voice, “That must be very painful, right?”

Bai Rong fixed her eyes on him. She didn’t cry when she was visited by a mistress; She didn’t cry when Su Xuyan pushed her to the gates of hell. But being cared for made her feel awfully sour, because there was too much pain and she was slowly becoming numb. Sunlight was scarce and that made her cherish it even more. Tears flew out of her eyes. After sniffing her nose, she smiled slightly and said. “I’m fine.”

Yes, she would be fine without Su Xuyan in her heart. She saw her bag, so she walked over to pick it up. Gu Mingchen took her hand and promised her, “Follow me. I will guarantee your safety.”

Bai Rong glanced at his hand. His palm was warm. Due to the long-term training, his hand was a bit rough; but it was powerful, so it made her feel at ease. She did not refuse his involvement. Perhaps, she was too exhausted now. There was too much bitterness in her heart and she needed this firm warmth to drive away the persistent cold of the body.

When Xing Bachuan saw Bai Rong coming ashore, his expression was very bad.

He frowned and his voice became sharp, “How could it be you? Did you tell those kidnappers that you are my daughter?”

Bai Rong looked at her father indifferently. She didn’t say she was his daughter; she would rather choose death than to admit that she was.

“Ridiculous. A total waste of my time.” Xing Bachuan got into the car furiously; slammed the door heavily and left.

A group of clueless people were left behind; only Bai Rong knew the reason.

She stood quietly looking at the car of Xing Bachuan that was leaving. He thought it was Xing Jinnian who was kidnapped, and that was the reason he came. In his heart, Xing Jinnian was his daughter; but she was not! There was a slight pain in her heart.

“I will send you back.” Gu Mingchen noticed her oddity.

She turned her head then smiled at Gu Mingchen and retracted the dimness in her eyes, “Okay.”

After getting into the car, she closed her eyes. She was extremely exhausted because she didn’t get to rest since morning. It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep due to her physical fatigue and weary heart.

Her phone rang. Gu Mingchen didn’t want to wake her up, therefore he answered the call. “Where are you? Come to my villa in an hour’s time.” Su Xuyan ordered.

Gu Mingchen hated his tone; his black pupil gradually turning faint and he said in a deep voice, “She is asleep.”

“Who are you? Gu Mingchen! Where are the both of you?” Su Xuyan felt an inexplicable dread aroused in his heart.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning. Bye.” He hung up the phone immediately and shut down the phone.

He looked at her. Her neck was tilted with her head hanging down. It was still forty minutes away from the city center. She was bound to fall if she was to continue sleeping like this.

Gu Mingchen saw a hotel not far away. He stopped the car near the car park. The hotel’s regulations were very strict. No one would be allowed to check in without an ID card. For that reason, he used his military ID to get a room.

Bai Rong was still fast asleep. He carried her up and walked towards the elevator. Her body was velvety and her face flushed like a red apple. He put her gently on the bed. Her hair ran across his arm and it was somewhat itchy.

He squinted his eyes while being fascinated with magical sensation. Somewhere along the line, some kind of heat surged up in his abdomen. After all, he was a passionate man.

Her body was etched deep in his heart since three years ago. Sighing, he tucked her in and made a beeline to the bathroom.

Cold water ran down his body, cooling down his skin, but not the heat within. This was the time to test the man’s willpower.

Bai Rong was awakened by the sound of bathing in the shower room early in the morning. She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair; it seemed that she still hadn’t fully recovered from the dizziness. She saw Gu Mingchen’s clothes on the sofa and a smile played on her lips. Staying in the same room with him was reassuring. She got out of the bed.

Gu Mingchen walked out from the bathroom. His hair was wet; his face was clearly tensed and the firm lines steadily solidified his face which made him look as if he was suppressing something. The strong and powerful looking muscle texture extended all the way down to his abdomen. The white bath towel surrounded from beneath his belly button further boosted his sexiness.

Bai Rong blushed a little while trying to put her eyesight away from his face as much as possible and said in a soft voice, “Morning.”

Gu Mingchen did not pay her any attention and continued walking towards the sofa then picked up his clothes. She felt that he was not in a good mood.

“Um, thank you. I fell asleep deeply yesterday and I don’t even remember staying in the hotel.” Bai Rong thanked him.

He squinted at her with a gloomy look on his handsome face and a rather odd flame burned in his eyes, “What did you thank me for? For not touching you while staying in the same room?”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
