Stealing Your Heart Chapter 672

Zong Yanxi did not sleep, neither did she talk. She just lay there in Lin Xinyan’s arms while Zong Yanchen sat across from them on the sofa, pursing his lips and watching Zong Yanxi. Suddenly, he got down from the sofa and walked toward Lin Xinyan, patted on his sister’s head lightly, and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Zong Yanxi did not respond.

He heaved a sigh. Yanxi is really terrified this time; she doesn’t even talk.

It was nighttime already. Lin Xinyan asked Aunt Yu to take Zong Yanchen to sleep but he refused. “What about you?”

“I’ll wait for your Daddy to come home.” Lin Xinyan looked at her son. “Good boy, listen to Mommy and go to sleep.”

Zong Yanchen sat beside her and said, “I want to accompany you.”

Lin Xinyan patted his head and held him in her arms. It was with them around that the waiting didn’t seem so tormenting.

They did not sleep the entire night. When the early morning light shone in, Aunt Yu said, “Let me prepare some food for you. You haven’t eaten anything since last night. You can’t keep skipping your meals. With your current condition, your body can’t handle it.”

“You prepare some then.”

Zong Jinghao had not come back. This showed that Shen Peichuan was still not found. How could she have the appetite to eat?

Nonetheless, even if she did not eat, the children needed to. With some food ready, Zong Qifeng and Cheng Yuwen would also have something to eat when they returned home later.

Therefore, it was a good idea to have some food prepared.

Despite that, the food prepared ended up for nothing. An entire day had passed and they had not come back.

The children could not hold it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa. Lin Xinyan carried Zong Yanxi upstairs while Aunt Yu carried Zong Yanchen to the room downstairs to sleep.

Lin Xinyan sat on the bedside with her daughter in her arms and pulled the blanket over to cover her. She was reluctant to put her down because she might awaken abruptly and looked for her even if she was asleep.

She had been clearly frightened.

In the meantime, Aunt Yu put Zong Yanchen down on the bed and made sure that there was no trace or possibility of him waking up. She then left for the kitchen, served a bowl of soup, and brought it up to Lin Xinyan. “Drink the soup.”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “I have no appetite for it.”

“You have to drink it even if you don’t feel like it. You’re not drinking it just for yourself now.” Aunt Yu placed it in front of her and scooped up a spoonful. “Here, let me help you.”

“There’s no need. Put it on the table; I’ll drink it later.” How could Lin Xinyan let Aunt Yu feed her? She really did not want to drink but she did not want to make Aunt Yu worry either.

Just then, the sound of the door clicking open came from downstairs. Lin Xinyan went uptight immediately. “Have they come back?”

Aunt Yu replied, “Let me go check out.”

After a while, there were sounds of footsteps coming upstairs. They were not Aunt Yu’s. She quickly turned around and saw Zong Jinghao coming into the room.

“How’s it going? Did you find him?” Lin Xinyan asked anxiously.

Zong Jinghao remained silent but jerked at his collar. His face was exceedingly gloomy.

Lin Xinyan went quiet following that. They have not found him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so moody.

Zong Jinghao saw the bowl on the table which was still filled with soup. He frowned and asked, “You didn’t eat anything?”

“I lost my appetite.” Lin Xinyan lowered her head.

Zong Jinghao sat down at the bedside and looked at their daughter. “It’s Gu Bei. It was still unknown how he got out but he was arranged to be sent abroad initially. It was the day of Old Master Gu’s execution and he was seeking revenge on me.”

During these two nights when he was searching for Shen Peichuan, he had also started investigating the accident. There was a CCTV on the bridge which had captured everything that happened.

Gu Bei knew that it was Zong Jinghao’s car but he had no idea that it was not driven by Zong Jinghao. He was in a four-wheel drive which kept crashing madly toward the car Shen Peichuan was in. It was a peak period with a lot of vehicles on the bridge and Shen Peichuan did not manage to ditch him. In addition, there was a child in the car which made his situation even more pregnable.

Mrs. Song called out in concern, “Where are you going at this hour?”

“I’m going to find Dad and see if there’s any trace of him.” With that, she left the house, escaping from Mrs. Song’s babbling.

She made a call to Captain Song. “Dad, where are you?”

Captain Song was at the downstream of the river, searching for Shen Peichuan together with other police officers.

Knowing that his daughter wanted to come, he sent his location to her, thinking that she should come since she had got into a relationship with Shen Peichuan.

Now that Shen Peichuan has disappeared, she should be concerned and come looking for him.

Su Zhan was standing in the boat with his entire body still completely soaked. It was dark at night and their search depended fully on laser lighting to avoid any delay in progress. However, after searching for so long, there was still no trace of Shen Peichuan. It was exceedingly perturbing.

After an hour, Song Yaxin arrived and with the help of Captain Song, she got on the boat.

“Is there still no clue about his whereabouts?” The expression on her face was panicky.

Although it was in hindsight that she realized how good Shen Peichuan was, the few days’ time she spent with him made her appreciate this fine man a lot.

Hence, what happened to Shen Peichuan made her anxious and genuinely distressful.

Su Zhan looked at her without saying a word.

Song Yaxin’s impression of Su Zhan was equally bad so she did not greet him either.

“Dad, can’t you arrange for more people?” Song Yaxin asked.

“I’ve sent everyone available here.” He was as tensed as they were but there was nothing else he could do.

They were already out of the city and this stream was so long. He was very downhearted at the slim chance of Shen Peichuan staying alive.
