Stealing Your Heart

The maid opened the door to see two women standing there. They seemed to be a mother and daughter pair. “May I ask who you’re looking for?”

“Is Xinyan here?” Zhou Chunchun asked.

“You are?”

“I’m Zhou Chunchun. Please let her know, thank you,” Zhou Chunchun replied politely.

The maid turned to look at Lin Xinyan and reported, “It’s a Ms. Zhou.”

Lin Xinyan approached the front door and was surprised to see Gu Huixin and Zhou Chunchun.

“Xinyan, Yinning is missing!” Zhou Chunchun sniffled.

Bewildered, Lin Xinyan asked, “What do you mean he’s missing?”

Gu Huixin queried, “Chunchun told me that Bai Yinning sent someone here?”

Zhou Chunchun might have been unaware of what was happening but Gu Huixin was very much in the know.

It was no secret that Gu Bei and Zong Jinghao were enemies. Now that the man whom Gu Bei had been trying so hard to keep hidden had just suddenly disappeared from right under his nose, he was incensed. It was likely that he had found out about how Bai Yinning was involved in this incident. Hence, that was why he had kidnapped Bai Yinning and was now demanding that man in return. Back then, Gu Huixin had agreed to help Gu Bei in hiding that man. Now that he was missing, she would have to bear responsibility for it. She knew that her only option now was to find that missing man. Only then would she be able to get Bai Yinning back.

Bai Yinning had actually instructed Zhou Chunchun not to tell anyone that he was bringing that man here. However, she panicked badly when she discovered that he was missing. Gu Huixin had also deliberately phrased her questions so that Zhou Chunchun would reveal that information. That was how she found out that the missing man was here with Zong Jinghao.

By then, Zong Jinghao had neared them. He had overheard their conversation and he already had a rough idea of what was going on. “Tell me what you want.”

Gu Huixin went straight to the point, “Gu Bei entrusted me to hide that man. Originally, I didn’t want to involve myself in this matter. However, Yinning told me that he had a place in mind to hide him. Thus, I agreed. I had not expected him to hand the man over to you. I’m guessing that Gu Bei kidnapped Yinning because he’s furious with him. My reason for being here is simple. Return that man to me so that I may get Yinning back.”

In the end, this had only happened due to her own negligence. She was aware that Bai Yinning and Zong Jinghao knew each other. Bai Yinning had also told her that they were friends. What she had not expected was that they were such close friends.
