Stealing Your Heart

“I’m really sleepy,” Lin Xinyan emphasized.

Zong Jinghao did not reply.

He pressed his solid chest against her back as he hugged her tightly, he then said, “I won’t disturb you anymore. Go to sleep.”

The sun gradually rose around six in the morning.

Lin Xinyan rolled over on the bed and stretched out her hands, but she did not feel anybody lying beside her. Blocking the sun’s rays with her hands, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that there was indeed no one beside her. Judging from the lack of warmth on the bed, she figured he must have left early.

She frowned and wondered if Zong Jinghao had enough rest since he came back late last night and went out again so early in the morning.

Sitting up, she grabbed the phone with the thought of calling him, but in the end, she changed her mind. She presumed that he must have something important to attend to. Otherwise, he wouldn’t leave so early. She felt it might not be appropriate to call him at that moment.

With that thought, she put down the phone, lifted the quilt, and headed to the bathroom to wash up. Just as she was squeezing the toothpaste, the phone rang from where she left it on the bed. She picked up the phone as she brushed her teeth and saw that Shen Peichuan was calling her. Taking the toothbrush out of her mouth, she answered the phone and heard Shen Peichuan’s voice from the other end, “Xinyan, have you watched the news?”

“What news?” she asked.

“Hurry up and take a look,” he simply said.

Feeling puzzled, Lin Xinyan searched for the news on her phone. The headline was about a murder in a bar. The police reported that a prisoner had escaped from prison, leaving the police no choice but to shoot him dead. The news also stated that the video circulating on the web was maliciously edited and not true.

The police in B City posted the entire case information on social media and warned the public not to believe in or spread rumors to maintain public order.

In just one morning, that headline was spread all over the web. Lin Xinyan lowered her eyes and wondered if the news was why Zong Jinghao came back so late last night and left so early that morning.

“Xinyan, have you seen it?” Shen Peichuan’s voice rang out from the phone.

Lin Xinyan put the phone to her ear again and said, “I saw it.”

“The good part is yet to come. The perpetrator won’t be able to escape,” he said.

“Is it Wen Qing?” she asked.
