You Owe Me, My Love

“Yan, he may ask you about our past. Just say you don’t know anything and remember not to divulge any information, OK?” Bai Rong emphasized.

“I don’t think he will be asking that. Will he?” Liu Yan wasn’t very convinced.

“It’s best that he doesn’t. But just in case he does, remember to say you don’t know anything.” Bai Rong reminded her friend.

“OK. I understand. I need to surrender my phone now. Talk to you later.” After Liu Yan hung up, she handed over her phone to Gu Mingchen’s orderly.

She was brought to wait outside the chief’s office.

The man was sitting at his desk and stared into space, appearing to be deep in thought.

“Chief, Dr. Liu is here.” Lieutenant Song reported.

He snapped out of his daze and said, “Come in.”

Lieutenant Song pushed open the door and Liu Yan walked in, still baffled, and looked at Gu Mingchen in surprise.

However, Gu Mingchen remained expressionless. His unreadable eyes made it harder for Liu Yan to guess his intentions.

“Sit.” Although it was just one word, it made her all tensed up.

She sat opposite him with her eyes slightly downcast and kept fidgeting with her hands.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. I only want to ask you a few questions. How much do you know about Bai Rong and I?” Gu Mingchen went straight to the point.

The woman’s eyes widened in shock.

She couldn’t believe Bai Rong had correctly predicted his intentions.

Indeed, what he wanted to know was his relationship with her friend.

Liu Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “I only know a little.”

There was once when Bai Rong disappeared for a week, and it was within that one week that you got engaged to Su Wanning. She was released the next day after your engagement ceremony and had lost her pinkie finger. Because of that, you chopped off your own finger too. From then on, Bai Rong started becoming more aloof.
