Stealing Your Heart

Bai Yinning took a short rest after returning to Baicheng and went to see Zong Qifeng. He needed to know urgently what happened while he was busy dealing with the affairs of the company. How did Zong Jinghao find out the truth about Cheng Yuxiu’s death and did Lin Xinyan leave because she had concealed the truth from being discovered by Zong Jinghao?

His assumptions were after all only speculations.

He didn’t let Gaoyuan come with him and let him rest instead. There were only the driver and Liu with him.

It was easy for him to get any information in his territory. All he needed were a few calls to know where Zong Qifeng was staying after coming to Baicheng.

There were only three of them staying in the huge old manor of the Cheng family, three old men including Cheng Yuwen and Mr. Feng who had come along to take care of Zong Qifeng.

It was a rather peculiar sight, but also desolate at the same time.

As soon as Bai Yinning stepped in, he saw Zong Qifeng lying in a rocking chair in the courtyard, wrapped in a blanket. It was only a few days’ time and he seemed to have turned into another person, not the same old spirited him anymore.

After descending from the stairs, he asked Liu to wait for him outside while he pushed his wheelchair forward.

It was already summer. The trees in the courtyard had grown into a profuse, sap-green roof, sheltering an expanse of the ground underneath the trees from the sunlight, where Zong Qifeng’s rocking chair lay.

Mr. Feng saw Bai Yinning come in without asking and was afraid he would disturb Zong Qifeng who was resting so he went forward and asked, “May I know who you’re looking for?”

Bai Yinning lifted his chin, pointing at Zong Qifeng.

“I’m sorry, Master is not seeing anyone at the moment, please go back.” Mr. Feng extended his arm politely into a cue for him to leave.

“I’m crippled. It’s inconvenient for me to have come all this way. I have only a few questions to ask and I’m not going to disturb him for long.”

Mr. Feng was going to turn him down again but Zong Qifeng who was lying in the rocking chair opened his eyes slowly while turning to Mr. Feng and said, “It’s okay. You go ahead with your work. I’ll talk to him.”

Mr. Feng reminded him, “Don’t talk for too long. You need to take care of your health.”

The death of Cheng Yuxiu was a huge blow to him and his mental health condition was getting worse by the day.

Zong Qifeng replied, “I’m not dying yet.”

Feng turned around and went into the house in a sigh. Bai Yinning apologized,
