You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Love

Wu Nian peered through the peephole and saw two men in suits standing in the doorway.

She flinched a little. Having a bad hunch, her hand froze an inch away from the door handle.

“We know you’re inside there, Ms. Wu. Fret not, Mr. Shen sent us,” a voice rang from the other side.

Her brows knitted into a deep furrow.

Mr. Shen?

They must be Shen Yiyan’s men then.

There was no reason for her to hide. She straightened herself and swung the door open. “Is there anything Shen Yiyan wants my help with?”

“It’s better if you ask him in person later,” one of them replied with a brisk nod. “He’d only sent us to pick you up.”

“I understand,” Wu Nian answered, locking the door behind her as she stepped out. As soon as she was escorted into the car, the men blindfolded her in one swift yet nonviolent motion. Her belongings were also confiscated.

Wu Nian sat quietly, completely unalarmed by what they did.

Shen Yiyan was never a pushover, to begin with. Beyond that, countless corpses had become his stepping stones in his quest to obtain his current throne. Of course, it’d be no surprise for that man to resort to such ruthless means.

She leaned back in her seat, feeling nothing but tranquil.

For someone who had a close brush with death and had forgone all attachments in this world, nothing could ever intimidate her anymore.

An hour later, the car began to make a handful of continuous swerves almost every minute. Wu Nian could tell that they were no longer on the city’s main roads. They had most likely entered a hidden base beneath ground level.

After another ten minutes, the car eventually came to a halt.

Her blindfold was then finally removed.

A man in a black military uniform opened the passenger door next to her seat. “My apologies for the inhospitable journey, Ms. Wu,” he greeted coldly. “Please follow me.”

“It’s alright,” Wu Nian answered plainly as she got off the car. She trailed behind the uniformed man closely as they walked past multiple doors in the basement, then stopped in front of one that stood in the deepest end of the hallway.

Eight armed guards stood before them.

This is probably where he is.

After one of the guards knocked on the door, a familiar voice echoed from inside, “Come in.”

The guards then opened the door and gestured towards Wu Nian.

Shen Yiyan sat behind his desk, his eyes fixated on a document laid out before him as two uniformed figures stood quietly across him. Looking up at the sight of Wu Nian at the door, he placed the files aside and crossed his fingers. “Leave us.”

At his command, the man and the woman bowed respectfully and retreated out of the room, shutting the door behind them.

It was just the two of them left in the vast, luxurious office.

Shen Yiyan stood up. With a faint smile, he motioned towards his wine cabinet on the other side of the room. “Fancy a glass? Pick whatever you like.”

Wu Nian returned the greeting with an equally placid smile. “Any red will do.”

Shen Yiyan walked over to the cabinet and opened a bottle of Lafite. “It seems I’ve underestimated Liu Yan’s friend,” he spoke as he poured the wine into two glasses in a flawless, elegant movement.
