You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 She Became The Devil So That He Could Be A Saint

Bai Rong got out of bed, washed up, and scarfed down the breakfast Gu Mingchen had prepared for her. She then tossed a recorder into her bag and called Zhou Hailan.

Five beeps sounded before Zhou Hailan picked up. Her voice was nasally, and she spoke between coughs. “Hello, who’s calling?”

“This is Wu Nian. Are you free at noon? I’d like to meet up with you,” Bai Rong replied.

“Ms. Wu?” Zhou Hailan was taken aback. “I don’t think we have anything to talk about. What prompted this sudden call?” She let out two coughs.

“There are some important issues I would like to discuss with you. You can choose the venue. I’ll head over right now,” was Bai Rong’s ambiguous answer.

The line was silent for a few seconds before Zhou Hailan’s refusal was heard. “I’m down with a cold, so it’s best if I don’t leave the house for now.”

“That’s alright. I can go to your house instead. I’ll only take ten minutes of your time. I believe you’ll be interested in what I have to share. It concerns Mr. Gu,” Bai Rong persuaded, her tone insistent.

“Alright then. Let’s meet at a café on Love Avenue. I’ll be there in an hour or so,” Zhou Hailan conceded.

“I’ll see you then.” Bai Rong ended the call.

After leaving the house, she drove to a market. She bought a fresh chicken, some mushrooms, sprouts, and beans before entering a drugstore.

“How can I help you?” an employee greeted enthusiastically.

“I’m just browsing,” Bai Rong decline her offer to help. She scanned the products on the shelf before selecting four pregnancy tests and handing them to the cashier.

“That will be twelve in total.”

Bai Rong put a white bottle in her bag and pulled out her purse. After paying the cashier, she left the store and drove off. However, instead of going to the café, she glanced at the rearview mirror and drove home.

The Shadow Samurais should be watching me now.

At that thought, she stepped on the accelerator and made a sharp turn. In the rearview mirror, a silver Volkswagen mirrored her actions, still on her tail. The driver had on a black cap with its bill pulled low to hide his face.

To confirm her suspicions, Bai Rong slowed down her car. As expected, the silver Volkswagen did the same.

Her lips quirked upwards as she looked at the time.

Soon, her phone rang with an incoming call from Zhou Hailan.

Unsurprised, Bai Rong picked up the call.

“Ms. Wu, where are you? It has been more than an hour,” Zhou Hailan said, displeasure evident in her voice.

“I’m on the way. Something came up., so please wait for a while,” Bai Rong answered calmly. She then doubled back and headed to Love Avenue.

Just as she was about to arrive at the café, her phone rang.

Bai Rong accepted the call after realizing that the caller was Gu Mingchen.

“Have you eaten?” Gu Mingchen’s voice traveled through the receiver.

“Not yet. I received a call from Zhou Hailan, and she asked to meet up at a café, so I’m on my way over now. I see the Shadow Samurais. They’re driving a silver Volkswagen, aren’t they?” Bai Rong asked with a chuckle.

Gu Mingchen ignored her question. “She asked to meet up with you?” he repeated, shocked.

“It might be because I contacted her.”

“Why did you contact her?” Gu Mingchen grew anxious.
