Stealing Your Heart

He raised the corner of his lips, but he was neither joyous nor angry. “It’s hot.”

Lin Xinyan followed his gaze down and realized that the knot she had made earlier to drive easier had not been released.

She was about to explain but Zong Jinghao opened the door and cut her off. He took out his suit jacket from the car and draped it over her. “Get in.”

She did not know when he had taken his jacket off, but his warmth and scent still lingered on it. She felt comfortable in it.

Lin Xinyan went into the car. Recalling Yu Doudou’s question, she asked, “I heard from Yu Doudou that you’re still not planning to work on the case?”

Zong Jinghao looked at her. “He came to look for you?”

Lin Xinyan nodded in honesty. “Yes.”

“It’s not appropriate.” After all, He Ruize had just entered prison. If he exposed that He Ruilin had committed a murder now, there would be enmity between his family and the He family.

It was not that he was afraid of the He family, but that there were rules between the families.

However, He Wenhuai seemed to be unhappy with him based on his earlier actions. He did not know what He Wenhuai was going to do next.

“Don’t worry. It’s in good hands. It’s just not the right time yet.”

Lin Xinyan felt her anxiety disappear. Although she was involved with this case, it was not as important to her as it was important to Yu Doudou. After all, his brother had died because of it. Although his brother had his own faults, he did not deserve to die.

Zong Jinghao held her hand in his.

As if his large hands had the magic to comfort her, Lin Xinyan felt herself calm down.

“You won’t even need to appear in court.” Zong Jinghao had planned it out. He was only going to let Yu Doudou appear in public.

The He family already had a son in prison. It would be a public embarrassment if their daughter was jailed too.

They would not take the embarrassment quietly. Whoever that appeared in public would be the He family’s target for revenge.

He would not put Lin Xinyan in danger.

“Okay.” Lin Xinyan did not think it was as complicated as he did. The enmity between her and He Ruilin was long formed.

She felt tired, and she leaned against the chair with closed eyes.

The interior of the car became quiet. The two no longer kept up the conversation as they contemplated with their affairs.

As if thinking of something, Lin Xinyan suddenly turned to look at Zong Jinghao. “What happened to Shen Xiuqing? Did you find out anything? Why did she appear today? Is there someone behind the scenes?”

Zong Jinghao’s eyes slightly turned away from her gaze. He said quietly, “I’m still checking it.”

He did not mention Shen Xiuqing’s death, just in case she started overthinking.

He was going to find out the reason for her death and who was behind the scenes.
