Stealing Your Heart Chapter 430

The intruders, dressed in uniforms, came in a big group. It was apparent that they came prepared. No wonder those few bodyguards fail to stop them from barging into the ward. Zong Jinghao tucked Lin Xinyan into bed before standing up and turned his sharp gaze onto the bodyguards. “I will handle this.”

The bodyguards left the ward hastily.

The leader of the uniformed pack held up a warrant. “We are only acting according to the law. Ms. Lin is involved in a murder, so we need to bring her back to the police station for an investigation.”

Zong Jinghao strode towards them menacingly. He had built up a compelling presence from his years of dealing with people from all walks of life.

The policeman, holding the warrant, swallowed hard, but he did not budge an inch. He was jolly well aware of Zong Jinghao’s prestigious status in society. Nonetheless, he held his ground. I am acting according to the law. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, irrespective of their wealth and status.

He feigned calmness as he convinced himself that he had nothing to fear about. “Mr. Zong, we are acting according to the law. Please excuse us.”

This person isn’t Captain Chen. He doesn’t look familiar to me.

Zong Jinghao glanced at the warrant in his hands before smiling at the policeman. “What if I don’t ‘excuse’ you?”

The policeman intended to claim in a self-righteous tone that he was merely exercising his duties as a law enforcement officer. But his voice sounded weak and feeble as he mumbled, “It’s a crime to stop us from carrying out our official duties.”

“Fine. Handcuff me. I will go back to the police station with you.” Zong Jinghao held out his hands.

He was curious to know these policeman’s identity, who was neither Wen Qing’s nor Chen Qing’s subordinate.

The policeman was flustered. He was only instructed to arrest Lin Xinyan. I don’t even dare to touch Zong Jinghao, much less to handcuff him.

Zong Jinghao unbuttoned his shirt cuffs. “If the decision is too difficult for you to make, you can ask the person who gives you the order to come himself. I have a nasty habit of holding grudges against anyone who offends me. Though I don’t have the authority, I’m filthy rich. Tell me, how much does one’s life cost?”

The policeman was so terrified by his subtle threat that his legs almost turned into jelly. He stammered, “It’s… it’s a crime to hire an assassin to kill someone.”

But Zong Jinghao merely smiled sinisterly. “Do you have evidence pointing to me as a criminal? Stop talking about the law. It makes me sick. Are you going to take me in, or will you ask your boss to do that?”

The man was cornered.

Lin Xinyan placed her hands over her belly protectively without saying a word. Zong Jinghao had not told her the latest development of this matter. Thus, she could neither say nor do anything for fear of messing up his plan. I can only leave things in his hands now.

The policeman had come with a bunch of other policemen, who were blocking the doorway now. Yet, all of them were too stunned upon hearing Zong Jinghao’s threat to even budge an inch now.

The policeman pondered before saying, “Let me make a call.”

He went to the staircase, looked around his surroundings to ensure there was no one near him and whipped out a phone to make the call.

At this moment, He Wenhuai was brewing tea in a private room in a deserted tea house. He put a cup before Chen Qing, who was seated opposite him, and said, “The He family has nothing to fear anymore. I have a total of three kids, and two died in Zong Jinghao’s hands. I can’t take this down no matter how useless I am. Hence, I’m truly grateful to you for helping me take revenge on him as I’m afraid I can’t do it on my own. So, please tell me if you need me to do anything, and I will spare no effort to carry out my task. Please drink this cup of tea. It’s to represent my gratitude towards you.”

Chen Qing held his hands. He Wenhuai has aged a lot over the last two years. His white hair has grown out. Indeed, it must be devastating for him to lose two children consecutively.

“Please don’t mention it.” Chen Qing took the cup of tea before he said, “I should be toasting to you instead.”

He Wenhuai smiled bitterly. “I’m a far cry from my former self now. I’m not fit for you to make a toast to me.”

His reputation, which he had built up painstakingly over the years, was in tatters now. Everyone was gossiping about what had happened to He Ruize and He Ruilin. The He family was no longer the prestigious family it once was.
