Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 901

Ling Wei was somewhat quick to react. She glared at Lin Ruixi. “It was you?”

Nevertheless, that did not sound quite right either. Lin Ruixi was a representative from Rui Mei and she had been out of the country all along. It was only because of this case that she came back here.

The two of them did not even know each other before this.

How could she possibly know that I wanted to kill her, causing her to set me up first instead?

A police officer came over to Ling Wei. “You are under arrest for being suspected of two intentional murder cases. Please come with us.”

“I’m innocent! I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Ling Wei tried to deny it.

“Please come with me to assist in the investigation.” The police officer did not waste any more breaths on her. Instead, he gestured for his subordinates to take her away.

Ling Wei took out her phone, wanting to make a call for help. The police officer plucked it from her hands.

“You’re now a criminal suspect so I suggest that you cooperate with us. Obstruction of justice by not cooperating with the investigation is also a crime,” he reminded her sharply. After that, he turned to look at Zong Yanxi. The other policemen had already released her from the ropes, draping a jacket over her body instead.

She was absolutely filthy and reeked of gasoline. However, she did not mind as she was currently preoccupied with other thoughts. These policemen had come as a surprise since she had not arranged for them. Though, the only reason she had allowed Ling Wei to kidnap her was that she knew that there was someone backing her up.

Whoever this mysterious backer was, they did not reveal themselves only due to their respect for her.

Previously, caused by her own stubbornness, a certain incident had happened. Now, she was too ashamed to face anyone again. That was why she had hidden behind the scenes.

Initially, all that she had was mere guesses and suspicions. Now, she knew for certain that she was right.

Sucking in a deep breath, she focused a cold gaze on Ling Wei. A sneer curled her lips.

“It really is you? Who are you? Why are you framing me?” Inwardly, Ling Wei was starting to panic.

Zong Yanxi walked over to her. “You say that I’m framing you? You were trying to kill me! Didn’t you admit to setting this place on fire last time? Have you already forgotten what you’d said earlier?”

Ling Wei screamed, “Who the hell are you!”

It was evident now that everything was a trap.

“Why don’t you take a guess? Who else can I be other than me? When have I ever changed? Even if I did, it was all because of you. You forced me to see the evil side of humanity clearly.” With that said, Zong Yanxi thanked the policeman who had given her his jacket.

“You’ll have to come with us to make your statement too,” he stated.

“Alright,” she agreed easily.

The color drained from Ling Wei’s face and she muttered in disbelief, “Don’t tell me you’re-”

Before she could finish, she was dragged away to the police car by two policemen. Zong Yanxi also followed the policeman beside her into his vehicle.

The police officer in charge of this case was left behind at the crime scene to gather evidence.

From where he was hiding in the shadows, Li Chengjie tightened his grip on his phone. He stared at the retreating police cars, feeling glad for the decision that he had made.

Is it a coincidence that the police have arrived here just in time? No, that’s impossible. They looked like they had already been lying in wait. As expected of the precious daughter of the Zong family, she has some powerful people behind her.

He kept his phone aside and left the scene. His deal with Zong Yanxi was that they would beat Ling Wei at her own game if she truly wanted to kill Zong Yanxi. They would record everything in the process and use it as evidence.

Of course, this meant that Zong Yanxi would have to be the bait.

Li Chengjie’s men had merely abducted her before they left, not involving themselves in anything else. This was so that they would not be implicated when everything was revealed.

This was his condition for helping Zong Yanxi.

He wanted to extricate both himself and his men from this matter while Zong Yanxi wanted to punish Ling Wei. Since both of them would benefit from the other, they decided to work together.

Now, all he had to do was hand over what he had recorded to Zong Yanxi. He would then be halfway done with his end of the deal.
