Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 873

The woman stood stupefied when she too realized she had been duped. However, it was all too late.

Pressing her hand against her stomach where she was hurting, she crawled towards Zong Yungan and hugged his leg. “They tricked us!”

During the time she was held captive, she was seized by fear. Hence she didn’t realize it was a trap when she was being rescued.

“You are his uncle so he won’t dare do anything against you.” At that moment, the woman wanted Zong Yungan to leverage on his familial relationship.

Standing by the side, Guan Jing snorted, “Did it just occur to you that you’re relatives? Why didn’t you think of it earlier when you kidnapped the baby?”

Zong Yungan glanced at Guan Jing and sneered, “No matter what, you can’t do anything to me.”

Guan Jing laughed, “Of course I can’t. But kidnapping and extortion are against the law. I can’t do anything to you, but the law can.”

“You don’t have proof.” The woman clung to Zong Yungan’s leg tightly. She believed that her fate was now in his hands.

What she didn’t know was that even Zong Yungan wasn’t going to be let off.

Guan Jing stared at the woman coldly. “It seems like you don’t know the wrath of our boss very well.”

He lifted her chin with his fingers. “If we wanted you dead, we could easily find a thousand reasons to do so.”

The woman’s hair stood on end and stammered in fear, “E-e-even if I broke the law, I still don’t deserve to die.”

Just as she spoke, she tightened her grip on the legs of Zong Yungan.

He quickly pulled his pants and admonished her, “Why are you feeling so nervous? As if he is really going to take your life!”

“Yungan, you’re my only hope.” The woman hugged his leg tightly, as he was supposed to be her savior.

Shen Peichuan walked over and informed them in a solemn voice. “You are suspected to be involved in kidnapping and extortion. We will need to take you back for questioning.”

He ordered his subordinates to take them away.

“How dare you touch me?” At that moment, Zong Yungan put his hands behind his back and started throwing his weight around. “I’m a member of the Zong family.”

Shen Peichuan replied, “The emperors of old were equally punished as common folk when they committed crimes, let alone in a society where the law applies. You have committed a crime and will have to face the law. Men, take them away!”

“How dare…”

Before he could finish, he was quickly restrained. The officers were efficient in carrying out their duty without fear or favor. As long as one committed a crime, he would be arrested.

Despite his physical flaws, Zong Yungan lived his whole life in luxury. To be arrested and shoved into a police car in his elderly years was extremely humiliating. It was something he had never experienced before.

“I want to see Zong Jinghao!” Zong Yungan remained uncooperative.

“If you refuse to cooperate, I will charge you with obstruction of justice!” Shen Peichuan warned him sternly.

His subordinates didn’t dare delay any further as they stuffed him forcefully into the car. When she saw how intimidating Shen Peichuan was, the woman didn’t dare make a sound. As she carefully curled herself up, she entered the car and squeezed beside Zong Yungan.

“I’ll leave the rest to you.” Guan Jing swept the non-existent dust off his shoulders.

Shen Peichuan nodded. Before he got into the car, he made a phone call.

Sang Yu didn’t rest for a whole day and night. As she curled up on the sofa, she was so worried that she couldn’t sleep at all.

Now that the baby was found, Shen Peichuan made it a point to call her immediately.

She quickly picked up when she saw it was Shen Peichuan’s number. Sang Yu was both hopeful and scared at the same time. She hoped that the baby was found and was worried about any other bad news. Her hands trembled slightly as she picked up the phone and pressed it to her ear. She murmured softly, “Hello?”

Shen Peichuan knew that she was worried and reassured her straightaway, “Don’t worry, the baby has been found. Everything’s alright now.”

Sang Yu could feel her nose burn and answered in a raspy voice, “Really?”

Shen Peichuan replied, “Really, why would I lie about something like that?”

Sang Yu laughed with tears in her eyes. “That’s wonderful.” The next moment, she thought of something else. “Did you manage to catch the culprit?”
