Stealing Your Heart

Undeniably, being kept in captivity for six years is a terrible experience. However, why did Bai Yinning tell me this story?

Giving it some thoughts, Zong Jinghao understood Bai Yinning’s intentions.

Zong Jinghao turned towards Bai Yinning and asked, “So, President Bai, your intentions for telling me this story is to ask for my help. Am I right?”

Exposed, Bai Yinning was surprisingly not flustered nor embarrassed. Letting out a laughter, Bai Yinning revealed, “Seems like you have figured it out. If you are willing to investigate further, I am certain that you would be able to find out more.”

“And how would that benefit me?” Zong Jinghao questioned.

Zong Jinghao obviously did not want to be involved in this matter. If not for Lin Xinyan, he would not even be here at all.

He wants to take advantage of me? What a joke!

Bai Yinning’s expression became more serious. Without a doubt, making use of Zong Jinghao without him realizing, was impossible.

In order for Zong Jinghao to take interest in this matter and start investigating, Bai Yinning knew that he needed a bait.

“My foster father remained single his entire life due to his first love. They were even engaged. However, due to some reasons that I am not aware of, they were separated. In the end, his first love married your father, Zong Qifeng. Remember, my foster father was locked up for six years…”

“What are you trying to imply? My father intervened their relationship?” Zong Jinghao advanced, cutting Bai Yinning off. Zong Jinghao never liked Yuxiu in the first place and now, she was the cause of every single incident that happened. This realization irritated Zong Jinghao even more.

At first, Bai Yinning also suspected that his foster father was abducted by Zong Qifeng in order to force Yuxiu to stay by his side. If she refused to comply, Bai Hongfei would be harmed. This was his explanation for Bai Hongfei’s kidnap and severed fingers.

However, Bai Yinning could not understand one thing: if Zong Qifeng was the mastermind, how was it possible for him to avoid the Wen family’s fury?

Zong Qifeng and Wen Xian were husband and wife. If Zong Qifeng went to such extremities, how was it possible for the Wen family to not do anything about it? Hence, his suspicion could not be verified nor explained.
