You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 4

The thugs were shocked by her as well and they froze where they stood.

Bai Rong gave them a sarcastic smile with a blank look in her eyes, “Come on, then. If I die, you’re all dying along with me anyway.”

Her indifferent attitude towards death felt as cold as the winter in December.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her.

“Boss, I want to kill her!” The yellow-haired thug said as he clenched his fists.

The older thug stood up.

Bai Rong stood up too and walked towards the yellow-haired thug.

The atmosphere was tense.

It was like a bomb that could go off at any moment.

The older thug was shocked by her courage and pointed a gun at her, “Don’t come closer!”

Bai Rong scoffed at him, then paused slightly as she noticed Gu Mingchen outside the door.

“Can I at least use the bathroom?” Bai Rong asked.

“You can do it here.” The older thug said cautiously.

“You know there is actually no escape for you, right? There are dozens of snipers aiming at you from outside.” Bai Rong casted a glance towards the window.

The thug was shocked and ran over to the window. He lifted the curtain slightly and looked outside.

Bai Rong seized the opportunity and ran towards the door.

The older thug realized he had been tricked and fired a shot at her leg.

But Gu Mingchen was faster and pulled her arm towards him.

She crashed right into his arms, and immediately he pulled her behind him.

The thugs saw that Gu Mingchen had returned and knew they were in danger, so they fired shots at him.

He grabbed her head and pushed her to the ground quickly.

It was a dangerous move.

But his arms cushioned her head from the fall, so it didn’t hurt her at all.

His legs pressed against her side, and she felt his warm breath on her face.

Bai Rong looked into his eyes.

It felt like she was gazing into an endless abyss.

As she looked at him, she felt like she could forget about all her suffering and troubles… As well as the pain deep inside her heart.

“Why did you come back?” Bai Rong asked.

She immediately realized how stupid her question sounded.

He was a soldier. Protecting the hostages was their duty.

“Lie here near the sofa and stay still. I’ll do my best to ensure your safety.” Gu Mingchen promised her.

He sprinted behind a pillar, his movement as fast as a cheetah.

The desperate thugs raised their guns and fired away.

Bai Rong could only hear the loud gunfire whizzing past her ears.

Debris was falling off the pillar as it came under fire.

Gu Mingchen had no chance to return fire at all.

The older thug approached the pillar with his gun ready.

Bai Rong looked at him.

At this rate, they would both end up dead.

She took off her shoe and tossed it from behind the sofa.

The yellow-haired thug quickly shot at the sofa in response.

‘Bang!’

The yellow-haired thug was shot and stumbled a bit before falling to the ground.

The older thug jumped towards the sofa.

Gu Mingchen pulled Bai Rong behind the TV cabinet.

The two huddled together in the small space.

He fired at the thug to keep them away.

Bai Rong looked up at Gu Mingchen.

She had not expected this stranger to risk everything for her safety.

Bai Rong stood up and looked at him. Her gaze was cold and calm, like the still surface of a pond.

Gu Mingchen got up and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”

Bai Rong smiled, “You did a great job protecting me, Chief. I’m safe, and the mission was a success. I’ll be heading back now.”

She turned around.

“Give me your name and phone number. I’ll have an award issued to you when I get back.” Gu Mingchen said with a straight face, as if it was just a normal procedure for him.

Actually, there was no need for a chief like him to do any of that himself.

“There’s no need for that. It’s our duty as civilians to cooperate with the military.” Bai Rong looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past 2 p.m.!

“I still have to work tomorrow, bye.” Without waiting for his response, she went into the bedroom and picked up her first aid kit.

Gu Mingchen just stared at her as he stood at the door.

She walked past him without saying a word and left the room.

The room fell into silence once again, as if she had never been there.

Gu Mingchen looked at the damp spot on his shirt again. He felt a strange emotion in his heart.

“008, 101, follow her and make sure she gets home safely before you return to camp.” He ordered sternly.

“Yes, sir!” 008 and 101 left quickly.

Lieutenant Shang let out a sigh of relief as he entered and stood respectfully before Gu Mingchen.

“Chief, this mission is successfully completed under your wise leadership. All 28 team members are already on standby outside. Please give us your instructions!”

“Head back.” Gu Mingchen said and walked out the door.

Downstairs, a military Land Rover had been prepared.

Gu Mingchen leaned over slightly and climbed into the back seat.

When the car drove past Bai Rong, he looked out the window subconsciously.

Bai Rong was walking back to the hospital with the first aid kit in hand. She was thin and frail, but she had a carefree look when she walked.

“Lieutenant Shang.” Gu Mingchen called out.

“Yes, sir!” Lieutenant Shang turned around immediately and awaited Gu Mingchen’s orders.

“Do a background check on her. I want everything about her.” Gu Mingchen ordered coldly.
