Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 1011

Knowing that the man had been caught at the villa, Shen Peichuan was quick to rush over. The first thing he asked about was if any of them were injured.

Zhuang Jiawen said, “No.”

He did not tell Shen Peichuan about what happened to Shen Xinyao. It was fortunate that he had reached in time before the worst could happen. Hence, he decided to not let the older man worry about it.

When Shen Peichuan heard Zhuang Jiawen telling him that everyone was unharmed, he heaved a silent sigh. He then instructed his subordinates to bring the body back.

More than an hour later, the body was taken away, and the blood on the master bedroom’s floor was wiped clean.

“It’s not auspicious for the newlyweds to live in a house where someone died. I’m thinking we should pick another house tomorrow and sell this one.” Sang Yu stood beside Shen Peichuan with a grave look. Although Zhuang Jiawen said everyone was unharmed, it still felt wrong for them to live in a house where someone died.

Every time Zhuang Jiawen comes into this room, won’t he think about the death of that man?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was inappropriate for them to move into this house.

“You’ll stay in the hotel,” Sang Yu uttered. “We’ll pay for it.”

With stern eyes, Zhuang Jiawen voiced, “I’ll deal with this. It’s late, so you should head back first. Leave the rest to me.”

“All right. I’ll take a look at Yao.” With that said, Sang Yu walked toward the room. However, Zhuang Jiawen stopped her. “My sister’s with her. It’s late, so she should be sleeping now. She’ll have to wake up early for the makeup session later. It’s best if you let them rest now.”

Hearing Zhuang Jiawen’s words, Sang Yu decided not to insist. She nodded. “We’ll leave then.”

If she were honest with herself, it was likely she would not be sleeping for the night.

In the car, Sang Yu remained worried. Shen Peichuan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Sang Yu kept quiet.

With a frown, Shen Peichuan continued, “We’ve caught the person. All we need to do now is to look for the mole, and everything will be over. Why aren’t you happy?”

Sang Yu voiced her concerns. “Earlier in the villa, I said I wanted to take a look at Yao, but Jiawen told me not to. I feel as if he doesn’t want me to.”

“Are you overthinking?” Shen Peichuan raised a brow.

“I hope I am. When this thing ends, have an early retirement. You’ve worked for your entire life, but you didn’t get many good things in return. Although they’ve let you make amends, they still intend to blame you. How many accomplishments have you achieved? How many cases have you solved? Does any of your higher-ups appreciate you?” This was the first time Sang Yu was not supportive of Shen Peichuan’s work.

This time had been a great shock to her. There were so many people in and out of their house every day, and she was feeling anxious all the time. While it was true that he now had a high rank in his department, he had also crossed many.

Now that he was of this age, it was only wise for him to retire and enjoy the rest of his life peacefully.

“I’ll send you back later. I have some things to attend to for the case,” Shen Peichuan made known to her. He could not return immediately, so he had to let his men bring the culprit back instead; he had to wait until Shen Xinyao and Zhuang Jiawen had their wedding.

“Of course,” Sang Yu grunted.

“Are you angry?” Shen Peichuan looked at her.

When the car came to a stop, she stepped off the car. “No.”

At that, she entered the house.

Meanwhile, the ones at the villa were not sleeping as well.

They had all heard about the incident. When they saw Sang Yu stepping into the house, they asked, “Is everything okay?”

“The kids are fine. I’m glad Jiawen thought of putting up security around the house. The man even broke into the house. If not for Jiawen… I dare not think of the consequences.” Sang Yu felt relieved and glad. Qin Ya pulled her to a seat and consoled, “It’s good to hear they’re all fine. You can stop worrying now.”

“This incident really scared me. I was just telling Peichuan to have an early retirement.”

Lin Xinyan poured a glass of water for her. “Drink it. Calm your nerves.”
