Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 940

Zong Yanxi could help but chuckle at how fast Tian Qifeng changed his attitude.

Tian Qifeng laughed along as well. Heck, never offend a woman or you’ll die a humiliating death!

Jiang Mohan didn’t wake up until noon the next day in the hospital.

Nan Cheng had been by his side the whole time and was glad to see him regain consciousness.

Yet, the first thing Jiang Mohan did was to scan the room. Unable to spot Zong Yanxi, his heart sank a little. “Did she not come?”

Nan Cheng was taken surprise by the question, but he immediately understood who his employer was talking about.

“No, she didn’t.”

Jiang Mohan sat up on the bed and turned to look outside the window. “Get me discharged.”

Nan Cheng pondered for a second before handing the man his phone. “Before that, I think you should look at the news.”

Jiang Mohan could guess what the news was going to say. Just as he expected, it was about the incident at the hotel.

The article was titled: President of Hengkang Enjoying His Night With Two Ladies. The article came with a photo of two half-naked ladies leaving his hotel room.

The headline and the photo were enough to suggest what had happened in the room before the photo was taken.

Most of the readers who commented on the article spoke of not judging a book by its cover, as everyone always viewed Jiang Mohan as a serious man who was out of reach for most people.

This scandal dragged him down from the pedestal the public had previously bestowed upon him.

Aside from his own reputational damage, the news also affected his company’s stock price, which was in decline.

Jiang Mohan showed no reaction to the news. This must be her goal.

“I got a call from Ms. Lin today. She said we still need to make the last fund transfer for the acquisition,” reported Nan Cheng, “We will suffer a huge loss this time.”

The man on the bed showed no sign of anger nor worry towards his financial loss. “It’s what I owe her…”

Nan Zhang opened his mouth wanting to say something but decided not to. He had no idea how to persuade his boss.

“What about the matter I asked you to investigate?” Jiang Mohan asked as he continued to stare outside the window aimlessly.

Nan Cheng didn’t reply instantly. Even though he had a major breakthrough, he was pondering if he should relay the information. It wasn’t easy to investigate something that had happened years ago, but Guan Jing had been guiding him in the dark by dropping hints here and there.

Guan Jing did this because he wanted Jiang Mohan to learn of the truth behind the event: he didn’t want the young man to hate the wrong person.

Jiang Mohan always thought that the incident was caused by the Zong family and that the money he received was to shut him up. The truth was that the money was mere compensation, and everyone involved in the incident was innocent.

Guan Jing didn’t want the young man to hate the people who survived the incident, nor should he yearn for revenge.

That was Guan Jing’s goal——for Jiang Mohan to see the truth.

That was also the reason why Nan Cheng did not experience many obstacles in his investigation.

Yet, the assistant had no idea how to relay the news, which was why he lied, “I still need more time. The accident happened quite a long time ago.”

Jiang Mohan didn’t even suspect Nan Cheng because his explanation was plausible. “Get me out of the hospital. Bring me a clean set of clothes as well.”

“Of course,” replied Nan Cheng before he left.

After Jiang Mohan was discharged, instead of focusing on the work that he had neglected for the past few days, he went to look for Zong Yanxi.

Now that the secret was out, he wanted to have a talk with her. By the time he arrived at the hotel, however, she was already gone.

Since her phone was also turned off, Jiang Mohan had no choice but to return to his office.
