Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 1003

After hanging up, Zhuang Jiawen dialed another number immediately.

The call went through soon enough. “Mr. Zhuang.”

“Are you sure that you left no trail behind? I don’t want any trouble in the future.” Zhuang Jiawen had to confirm that his plan was flawless to avoid dealing with any possible trouble.

“Rest assured, Mr. Zhuang. We have taken care of things.”

Zhuang Jiawen continued, “Keep a low profile during this period. Avoid trouble at all cost.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t cause trouble.”

“I’ve already transferred a sum of money to your bank account as a reward for you and the others.”

“It’s just a small matter, Mr. Zhuang. There’s no need…”

“I’ve made up my mind already. And I’m very busy at the moment.”

“Alright then. Thank you so much, Mr. Zhuang.”

Zhuang Jiawen put down his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose. Feeling tired, he placed an extension call to his secretary. “I’m not dealing with business matters today. Cancel all my meetings for me.”

“Okay.”

He leaned back on his seat, his eyes closed.

About twenty minutes later, he heard a knock on the door to his office.

His eyes fluttered open as he said, “Come in.”

Zong Yanxi appeared at the doorway. When she walked into the office, Zhuang Jiawen did his best to put on a surprised expression and pretend he knew nothing about her visit. “What brings you here?”

Not wanting to waste time beating around the bush, Zong Yanxi blurted, “Did you send someone after Jiang Mohan?”

Zhuang Jiawen raised his eyebrows. “Are you interrogating me?”

“No.” Zong Yanxi gazed firmly into his eyes. “Answer my question.”

“So what if I did? Are you going to be mad at me because of this?”

Zong Yanxi pulled out the chair in front of Zhuang Jiawen’s desk and sat down. “I know you did it for me.”

“So? Are you here to thank me?” Zhuang Jiawen raised his brows skeptically because Zong Yanxi didn’t seem thankful at all.

“I just don’t want to be involved with Jiang Mohan anymore. What if you get caught? You’ll only invite more trouble.” Zong Yanxi didn’t want to drag her family into the mess.

“Can’t you have a little faith in me?” Zhuang Jiawen sighed, “We may not have the same surname, but we are born to the same parents. You are my sister. How am I supposed to sit aside and do nothing while you are being ill-treated? It’s not like I killed him anyway; it was just a beating! I know what I’m doing, Yanxi. Even if he investigates the attack, he won’t be able to find any clue. Even if he suspects my involvement, there will be no proof.”

Zong Yanxi stared at him for a long while before letting out a helpless sigh. She couldn’t have done anything to change Zhuang Jiawen’s mind because he was already an adult, not to mention that he was also capable of running a company. He must have planned the attack carefully.
