Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 868

Suddenly, Lin Xinyan began to mumble in her sleep. As Zong Jinghao could barely hear her, he leaned closer to her lips. And then, he heard her calling out his name.

Zong Jinghao held onto her hand and replied softly, “I’m here.”

However, Lin Xinyan didn’t hear him and called out again. “Jinghao…”

Laying on the bed, Zong Jinghao put his arms around her. The embrace felt familiar to her as that was how they slept every night. By now, it was a feeling they had gotten very used to.

She could feel the familiarity of his breath even in her dreamy state as she snuggled closer to him. “Jinghao, don’t be sad. I’ll always be by your side.”

Her eyes were still closed, hence it was likely she was talking in her sleep.

With Zong Jinghao’s eyes still opened, his thick eyelashes fluttered as he blinked a few times. Finally, he closed his eyes to sleep for a split second but was quickly awoken.

He too was exhausted from the last few days. Or else, there was no way he could even catch a wink given that the baby was kidnapped.

Outside, it was still pitch black. After tucking in, he felt her forehead again. The fever had subsided as it was no longer burning. At that moment, he couldn’t stay by her side as he needed to look for their son.

After gazing longingly at her, he got up and walked out of the room.

Downstairs, he went to Su Zhan’s room and instructed him not to allow Lin Xinyan to return home.

By now, Su Zhan felt something was amiss. “What’s going on?”

He sat up from his bed.

The room was pitch black as the lights were off while Zong Jinghao stood by the door. “The baby has been kidnapped.”

“What?” Su Zhan couldn’t help but gasped out loud.

“Not so loud.” Zong Jinghao didn’t explain further. “Please take care of things here for me.”

Su Zhan nodded. “Don’t worry, I have everything under control.”

Zong Jinghao grunted in acknowledgment before heading out.

At nine something, Shen Peichuan had news. He saw Zong Yungan and the woman leave the house in their car.

He asked Zong Jinghao if he wanted to capture them.

Zong Jinghao told him to continue tailing and stay out of sight.

His priority now was to locate his son.

While Shen Peichuan was busy working on the case, Zong Jinghao was also investigating the background of the woman with Zong Yungan.

Wherever she went she must have left a trace. Hence, he would definitely be able to find a clue. After all, she was someone who loved to behave in a high-profile manner.

In a short amount of time, Zong Jinghao managed to find out the woman’s background. She used to work as a hostess. Furthermore, she became someone’s mistress before getting together with Zong Yungan. In fact, Zong Yungan was only one in a long line of men who had previously taken her as a mistress. The woman was ruthless in her methods and had extorted a lot of money out of the men she had been with.

In fact, she had even made a name for herself within her circle for being ruthless to men. Everyone knew that she had extracted tons of money from them.

As she had gotten close to Zong Yungan this time, it made those in her circle jealous. Although he was old, he was still rich. In the event he died, she had the potential to inherit his vast assets. Besides, it wasn’t a secret that Zong Yungan was infertile, just that no one talked about it openly.

The ladies believed that once Zong Yungan had somehow died, she would be able to inherit all his money. When she was rich, young men would be easily queueing up for her.

“Has the stupid old man been possessed by some demon?” Guan Jing exclaimed. He had gotten together with a woman who had been with tons of men before. And then, was manipulated by her into doing something as stupid as kidnapping. What was he thinking?”

Prior to this, he was able to live out his old age in peace. But now, he had brought such trouble upon himself. Evidently, women were always up to no good, just like Gu Huiyuan. She disappeared after wreaking untold havoc.
