Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 900

Zong Yanxi peered at the desolated house and her blood ran cold.

This was the place Ling Wei burnt her alive a year ago. Although a year had passed since that incident, the terror and hopelessness still felt real.

Seeing this place up close brought back horrifying memories.

Her fingers dug deep into her palms as she clenched her fists tight trying to fight her fear. “We’re almost there. We need to tie you up so Ms. Ling doesn’t get suspicious,” the two men informed her in advance.

“Okay,” Zong Yanxi replied shortly.

In no time, the car stopped in front of a pile of rubble. Zong Yanxi’s face contorted in fear—partly because she was faking it and partly because she did feel scared.

She had to act as if she were really afraid so Ling Wei would buy this whole act.

But some part of her heart did feel fearful. After all, she almost died last time.

The car door slid open and Ling Wei appeared right in front of her. Upon the sight of Zong Yanxi, Ling Wei sneered, “Ms. Lin.”

Zong Yanxi was taken aback and her voice trembled. “W-Why am I here?”

Ling Wei tilted her head and looked at her playfully. “You’re quite an eloquent girl in front of Jiang Mohan, aren’t you? Why is your voice shaking now?”

“I’m Rui Mei’s representative, and Hengkang Group is still working with us. How can you…”

“Who cares about who you are? How dare you seduce Mohan? You’re not going anywhere this time!” Ling Wei cried out. She looked at the two men and pointed at Zong Yanxi. “Get her on her knees!”

The two men looked at each other and pushed Zong Yanxi out of the car simultaneously. She stumbled down from the car and fell right in front of Ling Wei.

“As per our deal, our part is only to bring her here. You’re taking care of the rest,” a cold voice rang from behind her.

A menacing smile was plastered on Ling Wei’s face as she scowled at Zong Yanxi. “Don’t you worry. I know exactly what I’m gonna do next.”

As she spoke, Ling Wei tugged the rope and dragged Zong Yanxi until they came right in front of the ruins. “Do you know why this place was burnt down?”

Zong Yanxi shook her head nervously as her lips quivered in fear.

“Oh well, I burnt a woman alive because she stole the man I love,” Ling Wei confessed proudly as her eyes were smoldered with spite and resentment. Although she had killed Zong Yanxi, Ling Wei still could not get over the fact that she was once Jiang Mohan’s wife.

“You… Isn’t this against the law?” Zong Yanxi replied timidly.

Ling Wei cocked her head backward and laughed hysterically like a maniac. She leaned towards Zong Yanxi again and whispered arrogantly, “Lady, you don’t have any evidence.”

Beside her, Zong Yanxi tilted her head slightly and looked into her eyes. “As long as there’s a crime, there’ll be evidence.”

Ling Wei widened her eyes and stared at her hard. “So what? You won’t even live to see those evidence. Because I’ll kill you tonight!”

“Do you love Jiang Mohan that much?” Zong Yanxi asked, trying to understand why the woman before her would lose her mind because of that man.

For a moment, a hint of fleeting surprise flickered in Ling Wei’s eyes.

She could still remember how other students used to mock her because of her body size. Once, a group of bullies surrounded her and jeered at her, calling her names like “Fatso.”

She stood up against them, but that only provoked the bullies and they started throwing mud at her, smearing her face and her hair.

It was Jiang Mohan who saved her from those scums.

Ling Wei could still remember the first time she saw Jiang Mohan. Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment when she laid eyes on the dashing young man. But no one saw that because her face was all covered with mud.
