Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 874

“No, I don’t have any grudges.” Zong Jinghao closed his eyes slightly to conceal the dark glint in his gaze.

Lin Xinyan was confused now. “Then why?”

A brief moment later, she seemed to have realized something, so she asked, “Is it because of money?”

But it doesn’t make sense, though… There were no financial problems over the past few years, so why did this issue suddenly pop up?

“It’s because no one was manipulating behind the scenes back then.” Zong Jinghao gently touched her forehead and asked, “How’s the fever?”

Lin Xinyan nodded. “It hasn’t completely subsided yet, but I feel much better now.”

“I might have some things I need to handle, so just rest well here.”

Zong Jinghao uncovered the blanket beside the baby and tucked her in. “Take a nap. I’ll be back soon.”

Lin Xinyan felt her heart ache when she saw his tired expression. He really had it tough lately—his father passed away and something happened to the baby. Thank God he’s alright now. ”I’ll be waiting.”

“Alright.” Zong Jinghao said as he tucked her in.

He only stood up and left quietly after she shut her eyes, not forgetting to take a look at his son.

When Sang Yu saw Zong Jinghao coming down from the stairs, she stood up anxiously and asked with her fists clenched, “Is the baby alright?”

Zong Jinghao nodded in reply and Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Can I go and see him?” Sang Yu asked softly.

“He’s sleeping now. Maybe later.” Zong Jinghao left shortly after that and Sang Yu nodded in response.

Once Zong Jinghao stepped out, he called Shen Peichuan.

Meanwhile, Shen Peichuan was in a trial. The lady who took care of the baby and the driver were witnesses, so he needed to gather all the evidence for the legal procedures if they pressed charges.

However, Zong Yungan and that lady vehemently denied the kidnapping.

“Are you sure you want to come over?” Shen Peichuan asked.

I’m pretty sure I can handle this myself. After all, Zong Yungan is still part of the Zong family even though he was used by someone and made a huge mistake. Would Zong Jinghao have a tough time dealing with him?

Zong Jinghao replied with a “yeah” and hung up before driving to the police station.

Shen Peichuan was in the interrogation room when Zong Jinghao arrived at the station. Chen was there to receive the latter and lead the way. “Chief Shen is conducting the interrogation personally and he hasn’t taken a break since he came back.”

Zong Jinghao let out a vague smile as he passed through the main hall. The interrogation room was situated behind the building.

A short while later, Chen and Zong Jinghao arrived at the interrogation room. The interrogation room was divided into two parts—one for interrogating and one for monitoring.

There were two people in the interrogation room. One recorded down what happened while the other was in charge of the interrogation.

Zong Jinghao walked into the monitoring area and observed the situation in the interrogation room.

“I didn’t kidnap him. I was just bringing my nephew home for one day. Is there anything wrong with that?” Zong Yungan didn’t relent just like the lady who was interrogated before him.

Shen Peichuan showed him the pictures of the lady who took care of the baby and the driver. “According to their statements, you were attempting a kidnapping and extortion.”

“Do you have concrete proof?” Zong Yungan believed that Shen Peichuan didn’t have any solid evidence, so he was fearless. “I want my lawyer.”

Shen Peichuan sat down and asked, “You still don’t know it yet, right?”

Zong Yungan stared at him cautiously, “Know what?”

The personnel and Shen Peichuan left, closing the door behind them.

“Yungan.” The lady treated Zong Yungan as her lifeline, so she denied all claims of kidnapping when Shen Peichuan interrogated her just now.

She grabbed Zong Yungan’s arms and pleaded, “Call a lawyer and ask them to bail us out.”

Zong Yungan pushed the lady aside and hissed coldly, “I wouldn’t count you in even I wanted to get bailed out!”

The lady widened her eyes in surprise. “But I’m your lady…”

“Mine?” Zong Yungan let out a sinister laugh. “Was that what you were thinking when you betrayed me?”

The lady was dumbstruck. “When did I ever betray you?”

“Keep up with your act!” Zong Yungan clenched her chin. “Didn’t you tell them that I kidnapped the baby? Didn’t you say that I forced you to do it? Are you trying to push all the blame on me?”

However, the lady was perplexed. When did I say that?

“D-Did you misunderstand something?” The lady tried to defend herself. “I didn’t say that…”

“Nonsense! You’re acting like you’re so loyal to me when really you wanted to push all the blame on me!” Zong Yungan jumped to conclusions.

“I didn’t.” The lady shook her head. “You have to trust me!”

“How can I trust you?” In a fit of rage, Zong Yungan pushed the lady again and caused her to lose her balance. Her head banged into the door as she slowly slid to the ground in pain.

Meanwhile, in the monitoring area, Zong Jinghao and Shen Peichuan saw everything that transpired through the monitors.

Shen Peichuan said coldly when he saw the lady’s anguished expression, “Interesting. What a dog-eat-dog scenario.”
