Stealing Your Heart

The intruders, dressed in uniforms, came in a big group. It was apparent that they came prepared. No wonder those few bodyguards fail to stop them from barging into the ward. Zong Jinghao tucked Lin Xinyan into bed before standing up and turned his sharp gaze onto the bodyguards. “I will handle this.”

The bodyguards left the ward hastily.

The leader of the uniformed pack held up a warrant. “We are only acting according to the law. Ms. Lin is involved in a murder, so we need to bring her back to the police station for an investigation.”

Zong Jinghao strode towards them menacingly. He had built up a compelling presence from his years of dealing with people from all walks of life.

The policeman, holding the warrant, swallowed hard, but he did not budge an inch. He was jolly well aware of Zong Jinghao’s prestigious status in society. Nonetheless, he held his ground. I am acting according to the law. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, irrespective of their wealth and status.

He feigned calmness as he convinced himself that he had nothing to fear about. “Mr. Zong, we are acting according to the law. Please excuse us.”

This person isn’t Captain Chen. He doesn’t look familiar to me.

Zong Jinghao glanced at the warrant in his hands before smiling at the policeman. “What if I don’t ‘excuse’ you?”

The policeman intended to claim in a self-righteous tone that he was merely exercising his duties as a law enforcement officer. But his voice sounded weak and feeble as he mumbled, “It’s a crime to stop us from carrying out our official duties.”

“Fine. Handcuff me. I will go back to the police station with you.” Zong Jinghao held out his hands.

He was curious to know these policeman’s identity, who was neither Wen Qing’s nor Chen Qing’s subordinate.

The policeman was flustered. He was only instructed to arrest Lin Xinyan. I don’t even dare to touch Zong Jinghao, much less to handcuff him.

Zong Jinghao unbuttoned his shirt cuffs. “If the decision is too difficult for you to make, you can ask the person who gives you the order to come himself. I have a nasty habit of holding grudges against anyone who offends me. Though I don’t have the authority, I’m filthy rich. Tell me, how much does one’s life cost?”
