Chapter 438 What Use Is There Is there any meaning to it?

Gu Mingchen was at the doorstep when she came back to the villa. He watched her every step ever since she came back, but he didn’t look happy, and his lips were pursed. The light shone on his face, but no warmth radiated from him.

Bai Rong knew he was furious, so she smiled sycophantically. “Have you been waiting long? You should sleep in. Have you had breakfast? I’ll make it for you right away.”

“You were the one who abducted Xin,” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

Bai Rong knew the Shadow Samurais would tell him. She didn’t want him to know, but since he and Leng Xiao were controlled, she had to do something. If she didn’t Zhou Hailan would die, and no one wouldn’t have known about the truth.

“We found out that Sheng Dongcheng might be behind this, and he has an organization. Su Xuyan’s his subordinate. Silver and the gang died because they found out about the name list,” she explained.

Gu Mingchen looked at her sharply, tensely. He raised his voice, “You’re not answering my question. Did you or did you not kidnap Xin?”

“I know you’d act out that way if you found out what I did, so I kept it from you. Since Zhou Hailan is safe now, I’ll get someone to send Xin back to her,” she whispered, her eyes teary.

“And you think that makes it okay?”

“What?”

“Did you not understand what I said when I told you to stay out of this? They’ll hunt Zhou Hailan down if you expose her, and Xin will die if he’s around her. Yeah, you may know who’s the mastermind, but

does that help?” Gu Mingchen questioned, his chest heaving.

“At least we can keep our guard up against him. And they’d start looking into the mission after we found out about the truth. That’ll also keep Xia He safe.” Bai Rong was at the verge of tears.

“So I should thank you, huh? Well, thank you for kidnapping my son, threatening his mother, and put them all in danger!” Gu Mingchen roared.

Bai Rong sniffled, trying hard to keep her tears from falling. “Su Xuyan promised he’d let her off the hook, so she’s safe now. Don’t worry about it. You can bring them over here if you are still concerned.”

“Su Xuyan?” Gu Mingchen’s rage flared. He held her chin and growled, “What did you agree this time? You just have to make this complicated, don’t you?”

Bai Rong just looked into his hate-filled eyes calmly. She didn’t mind sacrificing herself if it meant her loved ones could be saved. If they could be saved, she would pay the price, even if it was death.

However, her heart ached when he accused her. “I told him where Bai Rong is, but all I said was that she’s in Antarctica, so he won’t know I’m lying. At least until sometime later.”

Gu Mingchen let her go. “The one I love is the old you. You’re not her. You lie, cheat, kill, and threw away your moral compass at the drop of a hat. The old you wouldn’t have known how to do that.”

That finally broke her. She wanted to cry, for she felt that she had been wronged, but even so, she couldn’t retort.

She remembered seeing a piece of news about a great relationship shared between a baby and a dog, so the dog’s master let their baby play around with the pooch all the time.

And then, when he came home one day, what he saw was a house of carnage, and his dog came out of the room, covered in blood. Thinking that the dog might have harmed his baby, its master shot it. But

when he went to the bedroom, he saw his baby, alive and safe, while a dead python lying beside him. It was then he realized that his dog was injured during the fight with the python to protect the baby.

She was just like that dog at that moment, abandoned by Gu Mingchen because of the murders she committed. “So what are you suggesting?”

“We should stay away from each other for some time to calm down. I need to think this through. You’re nothing but a terrifying woman to me now,” he said coldly.

I’m just a terrifying woman? Bai Rong stared down, her vision blurred by her tears, but she nodded quietly and turned around.

Gu Mingchen clenched his fists, the veins bulging on them. His heart ached as he saw her off, and even his temples bulged. Bai Rong was so frail and weak, and he wanted to hug her, but he stopped himself. Then, he went into the house and closed the door.

Bai Rong stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at the closed door. And a moment later, she cried her heart out. There was nothing she could rely on, so she squatted, her tears streaming down to the earth. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“I don’t understand why you’re so cruel to Ms. Wu, Mr. Gu. Yeah, she might be in the wrong, but she did it for you. She almost died in order to keep Zhou Hailan safe, and Zhou Hailan tried to kill her. Yes, she might have kidnapped the young master, but he’s unharmed. It’s all a ploy. She’s been working hard for you,” Zhang Xingyu defended Bai Rong.

“Stay out of this,” Gu Mingchen spat, and he hurled the ashtray away.

Zhang Xingyu trembled, but he puffed his chest. “I know you’re going to yell at me for this, but I’m still going to say it. Honestly, we wouldn’t kidnap the young master even if we knew Zhou Hailan was

involved. But Ms. Wu did it because of you. If it weren’t for her, Xia He would have been sentenced to death for treason, and our comrades would have died for nothing. You’re defending Zhou Hailan too much, don’t you think? And that’s unfair to Ms. Wu. All you’ve thought about is Ms. Zhou’s safety, but what about Ms. Xia? She could have died!”

Zhang Xingyu heaved a sigh. “And that goes for Ms. Wu too. I saw her taking a bullet for Zhou Hailan. You shouldn’t have done that to her, sir.”

“What should I do then? She won’t listen to me no matter what I say! She’s trying to get herself killed!” Gu Mingcheng snapped back. A frown creased his forehead and a single drop of tear flowed down from his left eye.

Zhang Xingyu paused as something hit him, and he became even more confused. “But why is she doing that? That’s foolish. I think she still loves you a lot.”

Gu Mingchen looked away, regretting the fact that he agreed to her request. She asked him to take care of their child and realize her dreams after she died, and he said yes.

But when he asked the same thing from her, she didn’t answer. That was why she was risking her life in everything she did. Bai Rong had crossed the line of insanity, throwing her own life away. Unbeknownst to her, Gu Mingchen couldn’t possibly live on alone if she died.

“Get out,” Gu Mingchen ordered. He needed some time to calm down.

“Should we still keep an eye on Ms. Wu then?” Zhang Xingyu asked.

“Yes. Double the number, but keep it a secret from her. If she finds out about this, you can consider yourself fired.”
