Stealing Your Heart Chapter 537


    “I’d like you to help me check if something has happened to them,” said Lin Xinyan.


    She was getting more worried by the day, especially now that she knew Gu Bei was trying to get close


    to her.


    Shao Yun had the outer appearance of someone unreliable, but he was in fact a very responsible


    person who routinely helped to put her mind at ease. Lin Xinyan had only known him for a short while,


    but he had never let her down before. Wen Xian and Zhuang Ziyi had probably chosen him back then


    because of his exemry character.


    Lin Xinyan thanked her lucky stars that she had called Shao Yun just now. Otherwise, she would have


    gotten herself into huge trouble.


    Her mind was spinning. Feeling a headacheing on, Lin Xinyan massaged her temples and sighed.


    “Are you still worried about him?” Shao Yun asked.


    Actually, he was itching to tell Lin Xinyan that he had spotted Zong Jinghao below her apartment block


    the other day.


    However, he didn’t know that Lin Xinyan already knew about that.


    “Yes, I’m worried. After all, two of my children are with him,” Lin Xinyan said, resting her forehead on


    her hand.


    “Did you meet up with him?” Shao Yun asked, shocked. “Did the two kids follow him to B City, too?”


    In a low voice, Lin Xinyan replied, “He didn’t show up personally. His friend came and picked up the


    children for him.”


    “Don’t worry any more, your face looks a little pale. Have a good rest. I’ll help you investigate


    everything,” Shao Yun said confidently.


    “Alright.” Lin Xinyan felt extremely tired.


    A short whileter, the car turned into her neighborhood. Lin Xinyan unbuckled her seat belt and


    pushed open the door. As she stepped out of the car, she turned to Shao Yun and said, “Drive safely,


    Uncle.”


    Shao Yun nodded. “Take good care of yourself!”


    Lin Xinyan smiled at him before walking back to her apartment block. When she finally got home, she


    flew into her bedroom and tossed herself onto the bed.


    She was very tired, but try as she might, she couldn’t fall asleep. She grabbed her phone and opened


    her contacts list. Gazing at Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan’s numbers, she realized that she had changed


    her number, but the others still remained the same.


    She wanted to give them a call to ask about the situation back home. However, as her finger hovered


    over the ‘call’ button, she found herself hesitating.


    In the end, she decided not to give them a call.


    Just as she put down her phone, its screen lit up with a notification from the daily news app. Lin Xinyan


    reached out to dismiss the notification. After all, there were all sorts of news everyday, and she was


    used to these notifications. However, her fingers slipped as she tried to swipe it away, and she ended


    up tapping on the news article instead. Coincidentally, the article was about Wen Qing’s sentence.


    Instantly, her grip around the phone tightened, and her arms began to tremble.


    She had tried so hard to avoid reading any news about him. When she left the city, she had hoped to


    put her past behind her, too.


    Despite her misgivings, however, she continued reading the article.


    Lines upon lines of words filled the entire article. There wasn’t a picture to be seen.


    Wen Qing had been sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence. Actually, that wasn’t a heavy


    punishment at all. He had been given a reprieve, which meant that a criminal who had been sentenced


    to the death penalty under thew would have his punishment postponed or cancelled entirely. The


    court had announced his sentence, but added that they would not carry out the punishment


    immediately.


    During Wen Qing’s probation period, the legal team would assess his behavior. Based on his


    performance, the legal team would rmend if another form of penalty were more suitable for him.


    For criminals who had been granted a reprieve, they were expected to behave themselves and


    demonstrate the right attitude during the probation period. If they did, the court would cancel their


    original sentence after their probation and mete out a more appropriate punishment.


    The Wen family had always enjoyed a great reputation among the public. Although they hadn’t


    copsedpletely after Wen Qing’s incident, their reputation had gone down the drain entirely, with


    the news travelling far and wide and even reaching neighboring cities.


    This oue was worse than death for Wen Qing. It had wrought great damage to his mental health.


    Lin Xinyan put down her phone and stared at her ceiling. She had never felt great love towards the


    Wen family, but hearing about this made her feel a little sorry for them.


    She wasn’t deeply sorry, however. It would be more urate to describe her emotions as mncholic.


    Lin Xinyan felt even more sorry about Cheng Yuxiu’s death.


    Wen Qing had caused Lin Xinyan’s lover to lose his mother, and her children to lose their grandmother.


    She would never stop feeling guilty towards the people she loved.


    Ding dong!


    The doorbell suddenly rang, startling Lin Xinyan out of her reverie. She jumped out of bed immediately,


    startled. The only other person living in the apartment was Qin Ya, and she knew the passcode to the


    front door. She didn’t need to ring the doorbell.


    Ding dong!

    The doorbell rang again. Frowning, Lin Xinyan put on her slippers and ran to open the front door.
