You Owe Me, My Love

“But I will be applying to the military base soon right? If I work there, accommodation will be arranged for me and I won’t have to drive to work anymore. Besides, if I need to go somewhere else, I can use the military car right?” Bai Rong asked.

Gu Mingchen nodded and said, “I almost forgot about that.”

After a short drive, they reached the house of soldier number 108.

They could already hear crying and shouting coming from the house even before they stepped out of the car.

Bai Rong had a bad feeling. She unbuckled her seat belt and followed Gu Mingchen into the house.

“Jin, put the knife down. What would mom do if something happened to you? You are my only son!” Soldier number 108’s mother wept as she said.

Gu Mingchen dashed into the house immediately.

Bai Rong saw that the man on the bed was holding a knife against his own neck. He was very agitated and his eyes were bloodshot.

Both his legs were gone.

“Number 108! What are you doing? Put the knife down now.” Gu Mingchen said sternly.

Number 108 paused for a moment as he saw that his chief was here. Still holding the knife, he said, “I am already a cripple, there’s no reason for me to be alive anymore.”

“Cowards don’t belong to the military. Even if you had lost all your limbs, you still do not have the right to end your life.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice, as he walked towards number 108.

Number 108 lifted his chin higher and the knife was almost cutting into his skin. “Don’t come any nearer! I have already lost my legs. There’s nothing more I can contribute to the country. I don’t want to be a burden to my wife. We just got married three months ago but I have already ruined her happiness.”

“Don’t talk about her anymore. She’s already going to divorce you. Why are you still thinking about her?” Number 108’s mom was sobbing even harder now.

Gu Mingchen was making sense of the situation.

The reason why number 108 strongly requested to be discharged from the hospital right after his surgery could be because of his new wife.

He might be triggered by his wife’s intention to divorce him.

“Where is his wife? Get her to come here.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

“Jin’s wife is not willing to come. She will only come if he agrees to the divorce. She is such an ingrate! When she married him, we gave her three thousand as dowry. That was our entire life savings.” The mother was quivering with anger in between sobs.
