Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 904

Nan Cheng pushed the door open and came in.

Li Chengjie took that as his cue to leave and stood up. “Since it seems like President Jiang has nothing more to ask me, I guess that it’s time for me to go.”

Jiang Mohan did not say anything, which was probably a dismissal in itself.

When Li Chengjie was gone, Nan Cheng asked, “What did he say?”

“Have you found out about what I’d wanted you to investigate?” Jiang Mohan ignored his assistant’s question. What he wanted to know more than anything right now was whether Lin Ruixi was connected to his ex-wife or not.

Shaking his head, Nan Cheng answered, “Everything that I managed to find is the same as in her resume.”

He had not been able to dig out anything more.

“The same?” Jiang Mohan obviously did not believe him as his eyes narrowed. “Come with me to the police station.”

Nan Cheng lowered his eyes slightly in subservience, not pushing the issue further. “Alright.”

They left the company together. Nan Cheng got into the driver’s seat while Jiang Mohan sat in the back. Through the rearview mirror, Nan Cheng snuck a glance at Jiang Mohan. He wondered what the mysterious man had said earlier in the office.

Did Zong Yanxi really not kill herself? Then how did she die?

“President Jiang, who was that man?”

Jiang Mohan’s expression was chilly while fury raged in his eyes imperceptibly.

Those eyes moved up to lock with Nan Cheng in the mirror. “Do you think that she’s capable of committing suicide?”

At first, Nan Cheng could not understand who he was referring to. However, it did not take him long to realize what the other man was saying.

Even after so much time had passed, this topic was still taboo to Jiang Mohan. Nobody dared to bring her up before him.

Yet, this time, Jiang Mohan was mentioning her himself. Is it because of that man?

Nan Cheng thought over the question carefully before he answered, “I don’t know.”

He was honestly not sure.

“Back then, I thought that it was because I had hurt her too deeply…”

Near the end, his voice turned raspy. “Nan Cheng, I really regret it.”

Nan Cheng pursed his lips. He knew that. He had seen just how much Jiang Mohan had suffered this past year.

But sometimes, there was no making up for something that you had done.

At the time, he had suggested to Jiang Mohan that he should let go of her.

However, all Jiang Mohan could think of back then was revenge. He had been blind to everything else.

Today, he had everything that he could ever want. Yet, he was not happy at all.

It had been a long time since a smile had last graced his face.

Unfortunately, there was no use crying over spilled milk.

“It’s all in the past now. Don’t think on it anymore,” Nan Cheng comforted.

That was the only thing that he could think of to say. There was no turning back time. Regret would not help matters any either.

They arrived at the police station in little to no time at all.

Nan Cheng got out first to open the car door for Jiang Mohan. But by the time he was rounding the front of the car, Jiang Mohan had already pushed open the door himself. The earlier weakness that he had shown in the car was nowhere to be seen. In its place was his usual cold indifference.

Nan Cheng informed him, “I’ve already called ahead just now.”

Jiang Mohan nodded. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Side by side, the two men strode into the police station.

Since Nan Cheng had already called ahead earlier, they were able to skip through a lot of the annoying procedures. In little to no time at all, they were able to meet with Ling Wei.

They were led to an empty room and the policeman had left them to stand guard outside. A short while later, Ling Wei was brought in with her hands cuffed in front of her.

Upon realizing that Jiang Mohan was here to visit her, her eyes reddened in elation.

“Mohan!”
