You Owe Me, My Love novel 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.
