Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 1001

“You promised that we are going to talk.” Jiang Mohan broke the silence.

Zong Yanxi replied, “Alright, but I hope you’ll keep your word too. Promise me that you will leave me alone after this.”

Lowering his gaze to hide his disappointment, Jiang Mohan grunted in agreement.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Mohan led the way with Zong Yanxi following behind him.

“Make it quick. I don’t have much time.” Zong Yanxi sounded impatient.

Jiang Mohan turned to look at her. He was about to say something when a car halted abruptly beside them. Jiang Mohan and Zong Yanxi were soon surrounded by eight men who were holding baseball bats.

“Who are you?” Jiang Mohan frowned.

“Are you Jiang Mohan?” Instead of replying to the question, one of them asked.

Jiang Mohan stepped forward to shield Zong Yanxi from the men and said, “I am. Let her go. She has nothing to do with this.”

“Alright. We won’t hurt innocent people.” What they wanted was to deal with Jiang Mohan only.

Although Jiang Mohan wasn’t sure who they were, he clearly knew that they were here for him. He whispered in a low voice to Zong Yanxi, “Get out of here right now.”

Instead of walking away immediately, Zong Yanxi frowned and asked, “Who have you offended to have people sent after you? In broad daylight, no less?”

His heart skipped a beat as he stared at her furrowed brows. Is she actually worried about me?

Trying his best to mask his excitement, he asked, “Why do you care?”

Zong Yanxi scoffed, “No, I don’t. Nothing about you concerns me.”

She turned around and walked away right after saying that.

Jiang Mohan stared after her receding figure and called out, “If something bad happens to me, will you remember me?”

“No,” Zong Yanxi replied icily. “You’ve never been part of my life.”

Sensing that a baseball bat was swinging towards him, Jiang Mohan snatched the bat backhandedly from his attacker.

However, the other men present charged forward and attacked him together. Even if Jiang Mohan was skillful in combat, he was badly outnumbered by the well-trained attackers.

Zong Yanxi hadn’t gone far. When she turned around and saw Jiang Mohan fighting back persistently despite being on the losing side, she wavered.

At last, she reached for her phone and dialed 110 while murmuring to herself, “I’m only helping you for old times’ sake.”
