You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 437 Take It Slow

“I’ll go back after I have my breakfast. It’ll probably take two hours,” she said softly.

Gu Mingchen hung up without saying another word. The Shadow Samurais probably told him what happened, so he should be angry since I kidnapped Xin and lied to him.

“So do you know what happened?” A skinny middle-aged man asked the elderly man beside him.

“No. I thought someone was playing with firecrackers, and I yelled at them. At first, I thought it’s just some sickos pulling stupid sh*t in the middle of the night, but I realized something was off. Did you saw the policemen just now? Even the Armed Police came.”

“Yeah. I heard that the woman’s a mistress, and the wife found out, so she was almost murdered,” the thin man replied.

“Oh, I see. No wonder she can hire a family physician, housemaid, and sends her kid to the best school despite not having a job. I heard her sugar daddy is the boss of Gu Group,” a woman interjected.

Xiao before that, he told her the five possible candidates for the position of commander-in-chief were Shen Yiyan, Su Zheng, Lin Shutong, Zuo Qunyi, and Sheng Dongcheng. Since Cai Qingyun was already a general, only someone of a higher rank could command him. Su Xuyan was about the same rank, and he didn’t even think of Gu Mingchen as his match.
