Stealing Your Heart Chapter 404


    They each had a role to y, and everything was progressing ording to n.


    “Come with me. I need to talk to you.” Zong Qifeng then walked to the reception room, where the


    sunlight wasing into the spacious room through the window. Zong Qifeng waited for Zong Jinghao


    at the window with his hands behind his back before asking, “What’s going on? Did you offend


    somebody?”


    It was obvious to him that what had happened was not natural but deliberate.


    After all, Zong Qifeng was once a formidable figure. Even though he had retired, he was still as sharp


    as ever.


    Zong Jinghao stood beside his father at the window with his hands in the pockets, still wearing the


    clothes he had on the day before.


    There was stillness in his eyes, and his facial features looked cold but gorgeous, giving Zong Jinghao


    an intimidating aura that kept people around him on their feet.


    Zong Qifeng knew there was still estrangement between his son and himself, but he offered to help


    anyway, “Is there anything I can do?”


    He decided to disregard Zong Jinghao’s indifference towards him. It was much more important to deal


    with the problem at hand.


    “There’s none, so go home,” replied Zong Jinghao coldly.


    Before Zong Jinghao could walk away, Zong Qifeng inquired, “Do you know who’s behind it?”


    Zong Jinghao paused briefly after the question but did not reply, “Take good care of Xichen and Ruixi


    for me.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “You don’t have to worry about the children, but we need to talk when this is over. Some things are not


    what they seem on the surface,” insisted Zong Qifeng as Zong Jinghao continued to walk away from


    him.


    Zong Jinghao had a pretty good guess of what his father wanted to talk about. It had to be about


    Cheng Yuxiu, the reason for the estrangement between the two.


    “We’ll see.”


    That was Zong Jinghao’s final response before leaving Zong Qifeng in the quiet room. The former’s


    phone rang when he got back to the Department of Public Rtions’ office. It was Shen Peichuan


    calling. “Chen Shihan’s noting out. We need to find a way to lure her out.”


    Chen Qing had told Chen Shihan not to go outside for that period of time, and she had listened and


    stayed home, only taking asional walks in the neighborhood park.


    Living in a secured neighborhood, Chen Shihan would be difficult to capture as long as she stayed


    inside.


    “Why don’t you ask to meet her?” suggested Shen Peichuan. Even though it was not a good time for


    them to meet, they needed to capture Chen Shihan to stop Chen Qing and Wen Qing from using Lin


    Xinyan to force Zong Jinghao to marry Chen Shihan.


    “Done! The rest is up to you,” informed Li Zhan, who had sessfully acquired the IDs of those


    inte trolls before letting Su Zhan handle the next part.


    Su Zhan, who specialized inw, would know how best to prosecute the trolls.


    Looking at Li Zhan, Zong Jinghao realized that he could not personally draw out Chen Shihan because


    of Lin Xinyan’s condition, but Li Zhan definitely could. After all, Li Zhan was familiar with Chen Shihan,


    and Wen Qing was close with Chen Qing.


    “Ji,e with me to the office,” Zong Jinghao ordered.


    The timing could not be better for Li Zhan, who wanted to talk to Zong Jinghao about the current


    situation.


    Li Zhan jumped to his question before they even had time to close the door behind them. “Who is


    framing Lin Xinyan?”


    The answer to that question would only furtherplicate things for Li Zhan, so Zong Jinghao turned


    his back to Li Zhan, refusing to reply.


    “I need you to do something.”


    “Name it. I’ll do whatever I can.” Li Zhan would never turn Zong Jinghao down.


    “You’re familiar with Chen Shihan, aren’t you?” asked Zong Jinghao as he finally turned to face Li


    Zhan, who then nodded. Thetter was unsure of how Chen Shihan was relevant to the seemingly


    complicated situation.


    “Does this have anything to do with the Chen family?” Li Zhan could not help but ask.


    “You don’t need to know. You just have to draw Chen Shihan out.”


    If Li Zhan knew why Zong Jinghao wanted Chen Shihan, he would be able to see the big picture, but


    he also knew that that was not what Zong Jinghao wanted. After staring at Zong Jinghao for a few


    seconds, Li Zhan made him a promise before leaving, “I’ll draw her out.”


    Li Zhan decided that he would stop asking questions. He would just get the job done if Zong Jinghao


    did not want him to know the whole truth.


    After reaching the underground parking lot, Li Zhan’s phone rang when he got inside his car. It was


    Fatty Long calling.


    Li Zhan was supposed to go to the mall with Lin Xinyan because the game was not over yet.


    “I don’t have time for this now.” After turning on the speakerphone and throwing it onto the passenger


    seat, Li Zhan drove out of the parking lot.


    “But you have toe… “ insisted Fatty Long because the game was bound to a contract, which


    stated that failure toplete it would result in penalties.


    “I just told you. I don’t have the time now,” repeated Li Zhan before hanging up the phone, but it soon


    rang again.


    Li Zhan answered the call and roared, “Figure it out yourself!”


    After that, he turned off the phone to prevent Fatty Long from calling again.


    Speedily, Li Zhan drove to the Chens’ ce near his house. He had gone to the same school as Chen


    Shihan, and she would always follow him around.


    After parking by the roadside, Li Zhan knocked on their door. Only Chen Shihan and Mrs. Chen were


    home – Chen Qing was nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Chen was the one who opened the door, and she


    was d to see Li Zhan. “When did youe back, Ji?”


    “Just recently,” replied Li Zhan smiling.


    “Come on in,” invited Mrs. Chen as she stepped aside to let Li Zhan in. “I know you always had a bad


    temper, but you really should visit your father more often. After all, you’re his family.”


    Given the rtionship between the two families, Mrs. Chen had no reason not to be straightforward.


    “Can I have some water?”


    Li Zhan was already an adult who knew what he was doing, so he had no interest in discussing the


    matter.


    Mrs. Chen patted her thighs abruptly. “Where are my manners! Let me get you something to drink first.


    What would you like?”


    “in water will do.” Li Zhan sat on the sofa, nced at the second floor, and asked tentatively, “Why


    don’t I see Shihan? Is she at home?” It feels like I haven’t seen her in a long time. “


    “She’s upstairs. Been cooped up at home for the past two days,” answered Mrs. Chen as she poured


    him a ss of water.


    “I see.” As long as she’s home, I’ll find a way to get her out.


    “Here’s your water.” Mrs. Chen handed Li Zhan a ss.


    “What’s she doing all day at home? Doesn’t she get bored?”
