Stealing Your Heart

Two uniformed policemen walked into the room and said, “A fire broke out this afternoon at an abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs. Here’s what we found at the scene.”

One of the policemen handed over a sealed zip lock bag that contained a mobile phone and a will.

Jiang Mohan’s face paled a little. Coldly, he asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”

“We’ve just began our investigations into the matter, but we believe that the fire was started by your wife as a means for her to commit suicide.”

Jiang Mohan’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling a little light-headed, he wondered if the policemen were lying. How is it possible that Zong Yanxi tried to kill herself? No way!

He took the zip lock bag from the policeman and inspected its contents. The mobile phone did belong to Zong Yanxi. The will, when he unfolded it, was written in her handwriting as well.

It said, Mohan, there’s no meaning in my life anymore after losing you. See you again. No, goodbye forever!

Jiang Mohan froze. Though he didn’t realize it, his voice was shaking a little as he asked, “Where’s my wife now?”

“The fire was too big, so we are still unable to ascertain what happened to her,” the policeman replied. “Right now, I need to ask you a few questions. Have you and your wife been experiencing any marriage troubles recently? Do you think they might have a played a part in causing your wife’s suicide?”

Jiang Mohan didn’t reply. He snatched his phone up from the table and stalked out of the room.

“Sigh…”

Nan Cheng walked over. “If there are any questions, I’m free to take them.”

Ling Wei glanced at him, then ran out of the room and chased after Jiang Mohan.

Jiang Mohan drove back to the villa. He flung open the door, only to find the house completely empty of people. As he walked further in, he realized that everything was exactly as it had been when he left. However, the divorce papers he had left in a neat stack on the table were now scattered everywhere.

He walked over to the table and glanced down at the divorce papers. Zong Yanxi had signed her name on the dotted line, agreeing to the divorce.

She…

Has she really signed it?

She seemed so reluctant to do so previously.
