You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 250

Bai Rong followed Su Xuyan to his apartment during the wee hours of the night.

He took a syringe from the fridge, sat at the dining table, and gestured for her to sit next to him.

Bai Rong went with the flow and rolled up her sleeve. Her eyes were affixed to the turquoise fluid-filled syringe.

“Doesn’t the probability of death worry you? I told you before that once the pernicious virus spreads, not only will you feel that your muscles are being ripped apart, but you’ll also be bleeding from your eyes and ears.” Su Xuyan curled his lips.

“I thought you’re the one who wanted this?” Bai Rong turned toward him insouciantly. She would rather die on her feet than live on her knees. She was ready to give up her life for Gu Mingchen’s.

“Huh,” he tittered.

She’s right. I was the one who wanted this. Perhaps I’m expecting her to beg for my forgiveness? But even if she did, I’m still going to go through with this.

Jab! He drove the needle into her arm.

She trembled, and sweat dotted her forehead. As her head began to spin, all she could hear were the echoes of her breath.

She plunged into total darkness and lost all her senses.

The only thing she held dear to was her belief. Despite the loneliness she was about to face, she had no regrets.

As her sight gradually recovered, the sound of the clock ticking away rippled into her ears.

She threw Su Xuyan a sidelong glance.

“You have to take this once a month. If you feel excruciating pain all over your body, and blood starts to come out from your nose, eyes, and ears, that’s the end,” Su Xuyan explained.

“How long more can I live for?” Bai Rong was as calm as a millpond.

Su Xuyan’s tensed up at the thought of her death. His feigned calmness couldn’t conceal the anxiety that had surfaced in his eyes. “As long as I want.”

Hearing that, there weren’t any changes to her expression. To her, living longer wasn’t something that would gladden her.

“Take me to Gu Mingchen now. I’ll have him sign the papers, and you will let him out tomorrow.”

“At this hour? Are you sure?” Su Xuyan was perplexed.

Gu Mingchen was locked up and accused of being a spy. He must’ve missed her so badly, and Bai Rong could imagine him worried sick.

Another day in the cell would add another blanket of anxiety and pressure.

She needed to get him out, the sooner the better.

“Am I sure? Aren’t you the one who wanted this?” Her words were brimming with derision.

“Gu Mingchen is a doomed man. What’s there for me to worry about? But it’s definitely better to have the contract signed as soon as possible.” Su Xuyan stood up and straightened his shirt.

“If he signed it today, he’s going to be released tomorrow, right?” Bai Rong needed assurance.

“Hmm… should be.” Su Xuyan sneered and walked toward the door.

Once they got into the car, Su Xuyan had Bai Rong blindfolded.

“What’s this for?”

“Due to Gu Mingchen’s remarkably unusual status, the organization feared that someone might come to his rescue, and that would bring dire consequences. Thus, the secrecy. Even his parents aren’t allowed to see him.”

The lines on Bai Rong’s forehead deepened as she got more worried.

That must mean that countless interrogations awaited him every day. Even if he was innocent, to have his loyalty doubted by the country he served must’ve filled him with exasperation.

She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and allowed her tears to wet the blindfold as she bottled up her feelings.

An hour later, she was pulled out of the car and led toward the underground cell.
