Stealing Your Heart

“Take care of the two little ones for me.”

That was the only help Zong Jinghao needed.

Li Zhan nodded solemnly. “You can count on me!”

Probably disturbed by Zong Jinghao’s voice, Lin Xinyan suddenly groaned as she moved her body. Zong Jinghao immediately hung up the phone to embrace Lin Xinyan and rub her back. “It’s fine. Go back to sleep.”

He was unsure if Lin Xinyan was actually awake, but she stopped moving after that.

Looking down at Lin Xinyan, Zong Jinghao caressed her cold cheek softly. As if she were a cloud that could dissipate anytime, Zong Jinghao was as tender as he could with his touch.

He was head over heels for Lin Xinyan.

After a night of staying by Lin Xinyan’s side, Zong Jinghao received a text from Shen Peichuan to see the news the next morning.

The homicide case at the bar was all over the news. There were so many rumors and speculations going around that it was overwhelming.

On the internet was a one-minute video showing how Lin Xinyan had aimed a gun at He Ruize before firing.

The comments were almost entirely one-sided; most of them demanded Lin Xinyan to pay for her sin. Some of them even speculated that it was a crime of passion and that the girl in the video had shot the guy because he cheated on her.

It would only get worse if the situation were left to fester, so Zong Jinghao called Aunt Yu to take care of Lin Xinyan. He also had Guan Jing arrange for security detail at the hospital in case reporters discovered Lin Xinyan’s location.

Before he could capture Chen Shihan, Zong Jinghao had to stop the news from spreading like wildfire.

Otherwise, the situation would get out of hand.
