Stealing Your Heart Chapter 241


    Inside the box was a life-like doll. Its eyes had been gouged out, leaving only the white part. There was


    a long opening in its belly, stitched up with hemp. It was covered with blood and its fingers had long


    pointed nails.


    The doll looked real. Lin Xichen might be intelligent and brave but he was still a child.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing the doll, he screamed in fright.


    “What’s the matter?” Hearing her son’s scream, Lin Xinyan ran out and saw what was on the bed. She


    herself was shocked. She quickly pulled her son into her arms, covered his eyes and soothed him,


    “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here.”


    “Mommy, what?” Lin Ruixi had showered, her hair was blown dry and she wore clean clothes. She was


    curious what had made her brother scream so loudly.


    Lin Xinyan reacted quickly. Before her daughter saw what was on the bed, she pulled her into her arms


    and shielded her eyes.


    Lin Ruixi was timid. If Lin Xichen was frightened on seeing it, she would be scared out of her mind.


    Lin Xinyan could not figure out who would send such an object. All she wanted to do was to get rid of it


    as quickly as possible lest the kids were traumatized.


    She patted her son, “Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here. You hold your sister. Mommy will close the box.”


    Lin Xichen was scared stiff. He was still trembling a little. Nestled in his mother’s arms, he held her


    tight, saying, “Mommy, I’m scared.”


    He did not dare to leave her side.


    Lin Xinyan did not dare to look directly at the doll. It was not only a visual impact but also a


    psychological one. She had given birth to children. This was an abused doll and so it had a strong


    impact on her.


    “Mommy.” Lin Xichen shivered, clutching Lin Xinyan’s clothes tight and not daring to move.


    Lin Xinyan held the two children and backed slowly towards the door. She pressed the two children’s


    heads tightly against her body.


    Zong Jinghao seemingly heard themotioning from the room. He came over while still putting


    on his clothes. He arrived at the door and his hands that was buttoning his shirt paused momentarily.


    Hurriedly he entered, gathered the kids in his arms and rushed out of the room.


    Shen Peichuan came up to their rooms intending to ask them to lunch in the afternoon. Zong Jinghao


    handed the two children to him with instructions, “Watch them personally.”


    “Is something the matter?” Shen Peichuan asked worriedly as the expression on Zong Jinghao’s face


    was troubling.


    Zong Jinghao himself was uncertain who could have done this. He patted Shen Peichuan on the


    shoulder.


    Then he returned to the room.


    Lin Xinyan was standing there motionless like a statue, staring at the horror on the bed.


    Zong Jinghao put his arms around her and buried her face in his chest. “Don’t look anymore.”


    Lin Xinyan closed her eyes, trembling slightly, “Who could have done that?”


    She was scared by the doll and at the same time, afraid of the person who would do this.


    Apparently the culprit knew she had two children and the purpose was to frighten them.


    “I’ll find out.” Zong Jinghao nced at the foul object on the bed, his expression solemn and silent.


    His arms were long enough to reach the bedding by just leaning over a little. He held the nket and


    jerked hard. The nket folded over the box, covering it.


    He patted Lin Xinyan on the back with his palms which were wide and warm. Then he rubbed her spine


    and spoke soothingly, “It’s a toy, don’t be afraid.”


    Lin Xinyan grunted in reply but she did not give the bed a second nce.


    From Lin Xichen, Shen Peichuan knew what had happened. He looked solemn like Zong Jinghao and


    spected, “Could it be He Ruize?”


    This man seemed to have disappeared into thin air. None of the men he sent out could find any trace of


    him, not even a lead.


    He had gone into hiding. When would he suddenly reappear?


    It had been said that we could protect ourselves better in an open fight than in an ambushed position.


    “Bring the staff who sent the box.” Furthermore, there are surveince cameras in the hotel. There has


    got to be some lead.


    “Mummy.” Lin Xichen was really frightened this time. His face was a little pale. He ran over andid in


    Lin Xinyan’s arms. Lin Xinyan hugged him tightly, soothing him, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”


    Lin Ruixi did not see it. She sat in a chair by herself, looking around, not understanding what was


    happening to everybody. Suddenly they are behaving so oddly. Everyone is so serious.


    The afternoon sun lit up the hall. Perhaps it was the crowd or the bright sunlight, Lin Xichen felt better.


    After a short while, Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan brought the hotel manager and the staff who delivered


    the box.


    Shen Peichuan shook his head at Zong Jinghao. The perpetrator seemed to have figured out the


    surveinceyout in the hotel. He had avoided the surveince cameras. Even when he was seen,


    there was only a back view. His face waspletely out of view, and he wore clothing that covered


    himself up very well, making it impossible to distinguish his gender.


    The only lead now was the staff member. It was not known yet if he could provide any clue.


    “You have probably heard who we are. Even if your director, Mr. Bai is here, he will show us due


    respect. Tell us everything you know. We don’t like to use brutal force but when necessary we will and


    people get crippled. Think carefully before you speak.” Shen Peichuan’s hand rested heavily on the


    staff member’s shoulder.


    The waiter was so scared that he almost fell on his knees. He was shaking and his voice trembled.


    “That person, the one in the surveince tape… He wore a ck mask and a ck cap. He wore the


    brim of the cap very low. I could not see his face clearly. He just gave me the box and gave to me…


    500 and asked me to deliver the box to the room. I don’t know what was inside and I don’t know the


    person. Really, what I say is true.” The waiter was trembling and every word was honest.


    “Really?” Su Zhan scrutinized him, asking demandingly.


    “Yes, yes.” The waiter shakily took out the five hundred from his pocket. They were stacked together


    and crumpled. “This, this is what he gave me.”


    He was just a junior hotel staff. His sry was not high. If someone gave a tip of 500, which is equal to


    his sry for a few days, most certainly he would be tempted.


    Furthermore, it was just for delivering a gift. The box was decorated so beautifully. Delivering a gift was


    a good deed.


    In addition, he was paid to do it. Definitely he would agree.


    Who could predict that it would bring so much trouble?


    The staff member was full of regret.


    “It’s true. What I say is true. Please believe me.” The staff member copsed onto the floor, sitting


    there. “If I have known, I would not have epted this 500.”


    Su Zhan was displeased. How could such a big grown up man be so scared?


    Apparently he would not be able to provide any useful leads.


    “Let him go.” Lin Xinyan massaged her brows, saying, “Obviously the culprit has been nning this for


    a long time and must have made careful arrangements. We will definitely not find anything


    immediately.”


    Su Zhan felt that Lin Xinyan’s words made sense and Shen Peichuan agreed. The staff was just a


    coward and he did not look like an aplice.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinyan remembered something. She lifted her head suddenly, “Could it be someone from


    the Wen family?”


    Nheless she had not been back to B City yet. Other than these group of people with her now,


    nobody knew she learnt to make the ‘xiang yun sha’ silk.


    Very quickly, she ruled out the Wen family. And so, only the untraceable He Ruize was left.


    Other than him, there was no one she could think of who could do something like this!


    “This happened in our hotel, I’ll do everything in my ability to find out who did it. I’ve already called Mr.


    Bai. He’ll be here soon.” The manager was a careful man. He knew that this was beyond his ability to


    handle.


    He could not afford to offend these people and so it was best that he informed Bai Yinning at once.


    Bai Yinning had just arrived home. Before he could take a rest, he received the hotel manager’s phone


    call.


    Immediately, he rushed over.


    “Any leads?” He came over on his wheelchair, looking at Lin Xinyan, apparently very concerned and


    asked, “You are okay, aren’t you?”


    Lin Xinyan replied, “I’m fine. It’s Xi who’s scared out of his wits.”
