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.
