You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 431
Chapter 431 Trust Me Or Her
“I checked the surveince camera. Xin’s kidnapper was very careful. He wore a cap that hid his face,
and the van they used had a fake car te. They also used a route that did not have any surveince
cameras. We couldn’t track them,” said Gu Mingchen solemnly.
“Gu Mingchen, this is actually a no-brainer. You’re just blinded by your concern. If I kidnapped Xin, I
wouldn’t hurt him. If Zhou Han was the one who kidnapped him, she wouldn’t hurt her son either.
Thus, Xin is definitely safe,” analyzed Bai Rong out loud. She opened the pot and poured oil in.
Gu Mingchen remained silent.
Bai Rong dropped the fish into the pot. There was still water in it, which started to crackle and sent
droplets of oil flying onto her hand.
Gu Mingchen put a lid over the pot and turned down the me. He grabbed her hand and brought her
over to the sink. “Are you angry because I didn’t trust you?” he asked as he held her hand under the
water.
Bai Rong’s heart wrenched in regret when she saw how concerned and ashamed Gu Mingchen was.
He was right not to trust her because she did kidnap Xin. She knew that she was ruining his trust in
her. But it doesn’t matter as long as he stays safe.
“A little,” answered Bai Rong. She was afraid that he would puzzle something out and quickly pulled
her hand away to open the lid.
Gu Mingchen grabbed the spat and blocked Bai Rong. “Be careful of the oil. Let me do it.”
Bai Rong stood off to a side and murmured, “Don’t worry. Xin will be fine.”
“Okay. How should I cook this fish?” Gu Mingchen asked.
“There’ll be chicken soup tonight. Just grill the fish. The oil won’t spurt out anymore. Let me do it.” Bai
Rong picked up a bottle of cooking wine and poured it into the pot.
The content of the pot sizzled for a short while.
Gu Mingchen handed the spat to Bai Rong, who then flipped the fish.
She had been preupied and forgot to add garlic and ginger, so she put them in along with soy sauce
before cing the lid back on.
Right then, her phone started to ring, and the screen showed that the call wasing from Zhou
Han. Without hesitation, she ended the call.
Gu Mingchen muttered, “Pick up the call.”
Just as he spoke, Zhou Han called again. Bai Rong picked up the call and turned on the speaker.

“What do you want, Wu Nian?” Zhou Han demanded gruffly.
“What do you want?” asked Bai Rong.
“Xin is still so young. Why don’t you target me directly? Leave the innocent out of this. I promise you
that I won’t meet with Gu Mingchen ever again. Xin will leave him alone too. Are you happy now?”
“Firstly, I don’t care if you meet with Gu Mingchen or not. You’re just an insect to me. Next, it’s a fact
that Xin is Gu Mingchen’s son. Blood is always thicker than water, okay? Lastly, Gu Mingchen doesn’t
believe you. So, you don’t need to waste any more time. We have a great rtionship, and you will
never be able to get between us. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now,” hissed Bai Rong before
she hung up.
She ced the phone on the bar and said, “I suspect that she knows you’re here and put on a show on
purpose. What do you think? Even if I really kidnapped Xin, it wouldn’t be because I wanted her to
leave. I just want to find out who’s pulling the strings. You understand where I’ming from?”
“I know. I’m sorry to put you through this,” said Gu Mingchen apologetically.
Bai Rong’s gaze darkened.
The more he trusted her, the more guilty she felt. “I’m going to cook. Get out of here. I can’t do my thing
with you in the kitchen. I’ll be done in half an hour.”
“Okay,” replied Gu Mingchen as he turned to leave.
Bai Rong ced the rice inside the rice cooker and then tossed some beans and sliced meat into a pot.
At that moment, Zhou Han called again. Bai Rong checked the fire before answering the call and
started the recording.
“Wu Nian, I won’t be your puppet just because you’ve kidnapped Xin. I won’t tell you the truth
even if it costs me my life. I don’t care about him. I can always give birth to another child,” snapped
Zhou Han viciously.
Bai Rong remained silent as she started to pity Xin.
Xin loved Zhou Han with all his heart. If someone tried to hurt her, he would not hesitate to avenge
her with all the might he possessed. If Xin knew that Zhou Han felt this way about him, it would break
his heart.
“Everyone makes their own choices. Your choices determine what the ending is. Although I don’t know
why you’re framing me, I hope you won’t end up dooming yourself,” Bai Rong warned her before
ending the call.
Another phone call from Zhou Han came in.
Bai Rong picked up.
“What do you mean?” Zhou Han screamed furiously.
Bai Rong chuckled. “From now on, I’m going to block you. You shouldn’t waste your time calling me
again.”
Bai Rong hung up and immediately blocked Zhou Han. Then she continued cooking and served the
food half an hourter.
Gu Mingchen’s brows were furrowed tightly. “Continue investigating. Check every nook and cranny. He
can’t have disappeared just like that. Even if I have to search to the ends of the earth, I’ll do it,” ordered
Gu Mingchen.
Bai Rong took a seat opposite him and started digging in.
Gu Mingchen gazed grimly at Bai Rong. “Rong, I know you want to find out who’s behind all this.
However, I don’t want to sacrifice anyone in order to protect myself.”
Bai Rong made a sound of acknowledgment and went on eating.
Gu Mingchen raised an eyebrow but remained silent and started to eat as well.
The atmosphere became exceptionally quiet all of a sudden. The dogs picked up on the awkward
silence and let out a few barks.
“Give me your phone, “said Bai Rong to Gu Mingchen.
Gu Mingchen did as she asked without hesitation.
Scrolling through his contacts, she stopped when she found Leng Xiao. She memorized the number
and continued scrolling till she found Zhou Han’s contact and proceeded to block her.
Gu Mingchen’s brows drew even tighter together.
As Bai Rong looked at his deep frown, her heart ached. “You know Zhou Han’s every move because
your people are following her. I blocked her number, but you’ll still be able to watch over her. However,
if you insist on keeping her number, I can unblock her. I didn’t delete her contact. Moreover, you should
know that it won’t be safe if you bring her here. I’ll leave after we’re done eating. I don’t care if your
people continue to follow me.”
“You don’t have to make such a big fuss.” Gu Mingchen’s frustration was evident.
“I just don’t want the situation to worsen. I think we need a break to cool down. You know where to find
me. Also…” Bai Rong paused and stared deeply at him. “You might not have noticed, but you trust
Zhou Han more than you think. That’s the reason why you started to suspect me after her calls. I
think this is also the main reason why Xia He was wronged for so many years.”
Bai Rong set down her chopsticks and stood up. “I’m done eating. You can take your time.”
Gu Mingchen grabbed her hand. “I’m sorry.”
