Stealing Your Heart

“You know better than I do that Wen Qing hates your that stepmother of yours to the core. He came to me for a favor to capture that woman since he knew I have a wide network of contacts. However, the person in charge was inadequate in carrying out his task… and things happened. But anyway, it was not a big deal. It’s actually better that way since you and Wen Qing are not very fond of her.”

Gu Bei felt irritated with the atmosphere in the room was kind of tense. He thought perhaps it was because of the three women standing by the door. He called for the manager, “Get them out of here.”

The manager and a few of his subordinates led them out of the room.

Zong Jinghao arched a brow, his eyes were like bottomless whirlpools. “You sure are a remarkable man, Mr. Gu. The higher-ups are keeping a close eye these days as they try to crack down on gangs, but your business is going on as usual for you. You even dared kidnap a woman.”

“This is all done in Wen Qing’s favor. I did it in his place since his social status doesn’t allow him to do so.”

Gu Bei leaned on the sofa and turned to face him. “Are you really here today to have fun or…”

He wouldn’t have spilled the beans if he didn’t know about Zong Jinghao and Wen Qing’s relationship. He had given it much thought before he spoke since he knew things would get ugly.

He was also aware that he would be placed in a difficult position if Zong Jinghao were to find out the truth from Wen Qing.

“What do you think I’m here for?”

At that moment, Gu Bei was caught off guard as their eyes met. He smiled. “Of course you’re here to have some fun.”

“But you’ve disappointed me today.” Zong Jinghao swept his tongue over the front of his teeth. Then, he said in a casual manner, “It’s not like what it used to be these days. You’d better be careful, Mr. Gu. Don’t be duped.”

Gu Bei froze. “What do you mean?”

He felt like Zong Jinghao was implying something else.

Zong Jinghao stood up as Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan followed suit.
