Stealing Your Heart

“Forget it,” Jiang Mohan ordered. Ultimately, he still did not have the courage to go over. He was still not ready to face those haunting memories after all this while.

Over at the driver’s seat, the driver had been taking an unusually long time to get the engine started because he knew Jiang Mohan would change his mind after he calmed down. The driver gave him a quick look from the rearview mirror and asked where they should head for instead, but Jiang Mohan remained silent.

He leaned his head against the headrest and closed his eyes as the driver drove off, wandering aimlessly through the bustling city. Jiang Mohan needed to get his mind off his feelings. But before long, he opened his eyes in frustration, reached for his phone, and dialed a number.

“Nan Cheng?” The call got through instantly.

“Yes, speaking.” Over on the other end, Nan Cheng was standing right before Jiang Mohan’s office. He was dropping him a document when he ran into Ling Wei crying her eyes out on the floor in his office.

They had been colleagues for some time ever since he started working for Jiang Mohan. Although he did not agree with her on how she handled things, he still saw her as a friend.

When he saw Ling Wei on the floor, he went over and helped her up.

Back in the car, Jiang Mohan shifted his gaze to the fleeting skyline of the city outside the car window. “I need you to run a background check on Lin Ruixi.”

Jiang Mohan simply had to get to the bottom of it. He hated that feeling when he mistook her for Zong Yanxi. But most of all, he hated himself for acting unusual whenever he was with her.

He needed to know badly who she was and why he kept taking her for Zong Yanxi.

A brief silence came from Nan Cheng’s side when he heard Jiang Mohan’s request. He was still trying to get his head around why he asked him to do a search on her. “What am I supposed to look for? How she got into Rui Mei?”

“No. I want to know why she got into Rui Mei,” Jiang Mohan corrected.

“Alright, I’ll look into it,” Nan Cheng replied before Jiang Mohan ended the call.

Beside Nan Cheng, Ling Wei overheard their conversation and shot him a questioning look. “Did he ask you to run a check on Lin Ruixi?”

Nan Cheng nodded briefly without looking at her. “Did you guys get into a fight?” he asked.
