Stealing Your Heart Chapter 442


    This time, Lin Xinyan kept the water in her mouth. The two of them had already been intimate with each


    other more times than she could count, but she still felt shy about doing this. However, she quickly


    shook it off and leaned forward to align her lips with his, then passed the water into his mouth.


    All through it, Zong Jinghao gazed at her face whilst ayer of mist formed in his eyes. When Lin


    Xinyan straightened and looked at him, his eyes were free of moisture and had be dark once


    again.


    His lips tugged upwards as he hugged her. “Sleep here with me.”


    Lin Xinyan slid down but remained in his embrace. His strong arms tightly enveloped her slender body.


    Torrential rain was still wreaking havoc outside the windows as if it would only rest after the whole city


    was submerged.


    It was deep into the night, so Lin Xinyan gradually fell asleep in his arms.


    Zong Jinghao, on the other hand, remained wide awake. He stared out the windows and into the infinite


    darkness.


    After a whole night of rain, the air in the entire city was particrly fresh, and the birds could be heard


    happily chirping away.


    When Zong Jinghao woke up, Lin Xinyan was still asleep. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, or


    because she slept tootest night, she was currently sleeping soundly and showed no signs of


    waking up any time soon.


    He extended his hand to caress her face. When his fingers passed over her lips, they paused. His face


    clouded over, and the warmth in his eyes seemed to diminish. Lin Xinyan shifted slightly in her sleep


    and subconsciously rubbed her cheek against his warm palm, like how a kitten would. The warmth


    returned to Zong Jinghao’s eyes, and he leaned down to kiss her forehead.


    The woman who was fast asleep did not stir at all.


    He lifted the nket and cautiously got out of bed. After washing up in the bathroom, he changed into a


    suit. Before leaving the house, he nced at the woman on the bed who was still in dreand. His


    eyes fell onto the phone beside her pillow when he recalled that she received a text messagest night.


    Who sent it?


    He walked over to pick up the phone. Lin Xinyan’s phone did not have a password, so all he needed to


    do was swipe to unlock. He tapped to open her messages and saw that thetest one was from Bai


    Yinning.


    His gaze darkened. For a moment, his thumb hovered over it before he tapped to see the content. I’m


    leaving. Goodbye.


    It was not a flirty message, nor a confession. Hence, he was not angered by it. However, he was still


    frustrated about what happenedst night.


    He exited to the homepage and put her phone back in ce before going downstairs. Aunt Yu


    prepared breakfast, which he barely touched. Before leaving, he instructed, “Don’t wake her up yet. Let


    her sleep more. She’ll be hungry once she’s awake, so leave the food on the table.”


    Aunt Yu nodded with a smile. “Last night, she…”


    “She missed her children, so she went to visit them. It’s not a big deal,” Zong Jinghao said after giving it


    some thought.


    He did not want to dwell too much on this matter.


    Aunt Yu smiled again. “That’s good, then.”


    She had asked only because she was worried. After all, it was not advisable for a pregnant woman to


    go out sote at night.


    “I’m leaving.” Zong Jinghao took his car keys and went out.

    When Su Zhan and Guan Jing came downstairsst night but did not see Lin Xinyan or Shen


    Peichuan, they asked Aunt Yu where they had gone off to.


    Aunt Yu told them that she did not know, so the two of them did not prod any further. Since no one was


    home, they saw no reason to stay. Only Aunt Yu knew that Zong Jinghao had gone outst night, and


    he had also told her to keep it a secret.


    Hence, she had no choice but to keep her lips sealed.


    Upon walking out the door, Zong Jinghao took out his phone to call Shen Peichuan, and at the same


    time unlocking his car. Just as he pulled open the door to get in, the call connected. After he got in and


    shut the door, he spoke into the phone, “Have you found out the cause of He Ruilin’s death?”


    “The official statement states that shemitted suicide, but I found evidence that it was a homicide.


    I’m at the prison looking for the murderer now.” The test results for the stuff they found underneath He


    Ruilin’s fingernails came out. It was human skin tissue, and there were also signs of hair fall possibly


    due to a struggle. This was enough proof that it was not a simple suicide.


    She probably fought with someone before she died. The skin tissue beneath her nails was probably


    from when she scratched the murderer during their fight. As for the bald patch on her scalp, it was


    probably the murderer who ripped it off when she struggled.


    When Zong Jinghao heard the news of her death, he immediately found it suspicious. If she wanted to


    die, she would not have waited until this long to kill herself.


    “Call me if you find anything.” He was about to end the call, but Shen Peichuan stopped him. “There is


    indeed someone behind the person you ordered me to follow. It’s He Wenhuai. The man I had


    shadowed him saw them meet up with his own eyes. I can also confirm it. He was able to be a


    policeman with the help of the He family, and he’s nothing but a sham in B city’s police force. The He


    family can’t protect him with the little bit of power they have.”


    “I got it. Get your guy to pull out.”


    “Alright.”


    He hung up the call and kept his phone in the car console, then started the engine to drive off.


    There were pools of water on the road due to the heavy rainfallst night. As the tires drove across


    them, water sshed onto the car.


    He had long and elegant fingers, with nails that were neatly trimmed. They looked particrly attractive


    when wrapped around the steering wheel.


    He drove fast but steadily. Soon, he reached thepany’s basement parking. He walked into the


    elevator and went straight to his office located on the highest level. When the elevator arrived, he


    stepped out at anguid pace.


    Guan Jing was about to send some documents to his office for him to sign and approve. When he


    spotted him, he immediately approached him respectfully. “Mr. Zong.”


    There was no mention of Lin Xinyan going outst night. Shen Peichuan had called him beforehand to


    warn him against saying anything, specifying that it was an order from Lin Xinyan.


    Hence, he did not dare to say anything that couldplicate things.


    Zong Jinghao nodded slightly in response. The single button on his ck suit was buttoned up. He


    stuck one hand into his pocket and walked towards his office while instructing, “Bring the information I


    told you to find on Bai Group to my office.”


    Previously when he was in Baicheng, he had ordered Guan Jing to investigate Bai Group.


    He managed to understand more about Bai Group, but it still was not enough.


    Guan Jing refrained from asking any unnecessary questions. It did not matter why Zong Jinghao


    wanted the information at this exact moment. All he needed to do was deliver it.


    Zong Jinghao opened the door to his office and went in with Guan Jing trailing behind. Thetter


    ced the document file in his hand on the table and stated, “I’ll get it now.”


    With that, he swiftly left the office to get the information.


    Zong Jinghao unbuttoned his cuffs before pulling out the executive chair behind his desk to take a seat.


    He went through the documents Guan Jing brought over. After making sure there were no problems, he


    signed his name on it.


    Before long, Guan Jing came back with the information on Bai Group.


    Zong Jinghao returned the documents he had signed to Guan Jing.


    Guan Jing epted it, while Zong Jinghao took Bai Group’s information from him. Without lifting his


    head, he said, “Wait.”


    Guan Jing stood before his desk as he awaited his next orders.


    Approximately half an hourter, he fully understood the workings of Bai Group. Bai Group was able to


    solve problems for so many people because they had physical factories for their door and


    semiconductor production, which covered arge area with more than 20,000 employees working


    under them. Their door industry was already well-known both locally and abroad. Most importantly, they


    had their own team specializing in the research and development of smart door lock cylinders and


    environmentally friendly materials, which were excellent for environmental protection and preventing


    theft.


    This was also why they could continue developing at such an impressive pace.


    He mentally went through the domesticpanies and finally selected two. “I seem to recall that Mr.


    Tang’s brother-inw also produces semiconductors?”


    Guan Jing nodded. “Yes. They are ranked among the best in the country.”


    “Arrange a meeting with him, and invite Mr. Wang too.”


    “Mr. Wang?” Guan Jing was taken aback. Why don’t I recall having business dealings with someone by


    the name of Mr. Wang?


    “The one who came to me previously requesting for an investment,” Zong Jinghao reminded.


    “Oh. Didn’t you reject thatpany? The one that manufactures doors.” Wasn’t that thepany he


    turned down right off the bat?


    Zong Jinghao leaned back into his chair and tugged on his cor, seemingly a little impatient.


    “I’ll see to it immediately.” Guan Jing quickly took the document files with him and left the office, afraid


    that he had angered his boss.
