You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Who Are You

Bai Rong’s lips curled. “What if the woman you love comes back?”

Her words made the man stiffened before he suspiciously glanced at her. Letting her arm go, melancholy flitted past his eyes. “I don’t think Bai Rong will come back anymore. I’m sure that’s what Gu Mingchen thinks too, and that’s why he made you his assistant.”

Spotting the odd look in his eyes, Bai Rong voiced, “Su Xuyan, do you want to make a deal with me?”

“What deal?” he asked as the flame of hope began to burn anew.

“What did you mean when you said I’m going to regret things soon?” Bai Rong questioned.

Staring at her, Su Xuyan explained, “Gu Mingchen’s doomed. You’re with him, so you’ll soon regret it.”

“What do you mean Gu Mingchen is doomed?”

“Wu Nian, are you going to tell me that you’re truly worried for Gu Mingchen? You haven’t fallen in love with him, have you?” Su Xuyan narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

“If you mean he’s doomed because of Xia He’s matter, I’ll tell you now that you’re overthinking it because he won’t save her,” Bai Rong confessed.

Her words took Su Xuyan aback. “How do you know about Xia He?”

“I know more than you think I do. For example, I know the operation was a fake,” Su Xuyan disclosed that piece of information as she eyed Su Xuyan carefully.

Hearing that, the man was even more dumbfounded. “How do you know that? Who even are you?”

“That’s the question I should be asking you. Who are you, and who are you working for?” Bai Rong interrogated.

Abruptly, Su Xuyan held her waist and said, “If you want to find out who I’m working for, come to my side. I’ll tell you everything.”

“Let go of me,” ordered Bai Rong.

“You must be by Gu Mingchen’s side because of someone’s orders. Who is it? Shen Yiyan?” Su Xuyan probed.

However, Bai Rong only glared at him.

He was smart. Although he was taken aback for a moment, he soon regained his calm. She could no longer get more information from him, and in fact, she might reveal more information to him if she kept it up.

“The more you know, the quicker you’ll die.” With that said, Bai Rong stomped on his foot.

As pain shot up his leg, Su Xuyan let go of her.

After glancing at him from the side of her eye, Bai Rong stalked down the corridor back to the room.

Midway, Bai Rong stopped in her tracks. At that moment, she regretted not regretting their conversation. Perhaps what he said a second ago could have been useful.

She turned to glance at him and said, “It’s best that you worry about yourself.”

At that, Su Xuyan grinned. “It seems like you don’t know a lot. You’re not that high-leveled.”

Ignoring him, Bai Rong turned away and headed to the room.

The entire way, she kept thinking about her conversation with Su Xuyan. Although he had been cautious with his words, she had managed to glean some information from him.

She pushed the door open.

Gu Mingchen’s brows were furrowed until he saw her. “Does it take you that long to get that one thing?”

“I couldn’t find the lighter in your car, so it took me a while,” Bai Rong easily replied before sitting down.

“Don’t be angry, Mr. Gu. I have a lighter.” As the opportunity to butter him up had appeared, Mr. Wu swiftly lit his cigarette for him.

Once his cigarette was lit, Gu Mingchen turned toward Bai Rong.

At the same time, Bai Rong turned to look at him.

He then gestured to her the dishes on the table.

Thus, she hung her head and began to eat.

“This must be Wu, right? Let me toast to you,” an unfamiliar man said to her.

Bai Rong lifted her glass.

Abruptly, Gu Mingchen voiced, “She’s going to be my driver, so she can’t drink.”

“Oh, right. Right. We have to obey the laws; we don’t drink and drive,” Mr. Wu hurriedly said. Turning back to Gu Mingchen, he smiled and continued, “Mr. Gu, if you have free time to look at the lot, I’ll definitely make the necessary arrangements for it.”

“Thank you,” Gu Mingchen muttered before turning his head in Bai Rong’s direction.

Once again, the woman locked eyes with him. She put down her glass, hung her head, and returned to her food.

At that, the corner of Gu Mingchen’s lips lifted as his heart melted.

Half an hour later, Bai Rong was too full to keep eating.

Right then, Gu Mingchen said to Mr. Wu, “I still have a kid at home to care for at home, so I’ll take my leave first. Zhang will make arrangements later, so please, enjoy your time.”

“Thank you, Mr. Gu,” Mr. Wu chuckled.

“It’s my pleasure.” He then rose to his feet, and Bai Rong did the same.

The two then exited together.

“Be smarter next time. You’re out to keep me company for food, not drinks. Reject them by telling them you have to drive, okay?” Gu Mingchen reminded. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Oh. I forgot about that,” Bai Rong answered.

Pressing the down button for the elevator, the man asked, “Why did you take such a long time to come back? If you were another minute later, I would’ve gone to find you.”

“I met Su Xuyan in the restroom,” Bai Rong explained truthfully.

Hearing her, Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed. “Stay away from him next time.”

“I had a short talk with him.”

At that, he spun around to look at her warily. “A talk? What is there to talk about? Have you not learned your lesson from your previous encounters with him?”

Right then, the elevator arrived. “I’ll tell you about it when we’re in the car.”

With a glacial look, Gu Mingchen entered the elevator. After the two entered the car, he looked at her and demanded, “You can tell me now.”

After buckling her safety belt, she voiced, “I was testing waters with him. Firstly, I told him about the fake mission. He responded by asking me how I knew about it and who I was. In other words, Su Xuyan knew the mission was fake. I remember he’s one of the commander-in-chief’s men, so that means the commander-in-chief knows the mission was fake too. Second, he thinks that I’m staying by your side on Shen Yiyan’s orders. He told me not to take the same path Zhou Hailan did. That means Zhou Hailan is by your side on someone’s orders.”

“Shen Yiyan’s a sly man. Maybe some of his words were meant to mislead you,” Gu Mingchen uttered warily.

“It doesn’t seem like it. Let’s pretend the commander-in-chief knows the mission is fake. Is it possible that it’s the ex-commander-in-chief who wanted Xia He’s arrest?” Bai Rong guessed.

“Impossible. If Shen Yiyan’s father had been the one to arrange it, he’d have killed Xia He upon finding out her whereabouts. He wouldn’t have let my men arrest her instead. So that means the person who told Leng Xiao to catch her isn’t the same as the one who planned the fake mission. Moreover, no one knows which side Su Xuyan is on,” Gu Mingchen responded.

“If Zhou Hailan was by your side on someone’s order, she should know it’s a fake mission. If we find the person behind her, we might be able to find out who’s the one who planned for the fake mission. What is the aim of the fake mission? The operation was fake, but the deaths were real. What’s the

reason for the deaths? Why the deaths? Are they targeting you, or are they targeting someone else?” Hundreds of questions were filling up all the spaces in Bai Rong’s mind.

Yet, at the same time, she felt that they were coming close to the answer.
