Stealing Your Heart Chapter 553
Su Zhan’s expression changed suddenly as his eyes widened in disbelief. “W-what did you say? You
captured Qin Ya?”
A confused expression appeared on Gu Bei’s face as he asked, “Do you really not know about it?”
Su Zhan clenched his fists and was about to swing a punch at Gu Bei when thetter pushed him away
just in time. “You and your friends are all crazy!”
Why do these people all have such violent tendencies!
Gu Bei decided that it was only wise for him to leave this ce at once.
“Stay where you are!” Su Zhan chased after Gu Bei immediately when he realized that the man was
trying to escape. Gu Bei started running faster after noticing Su Zhan was on his heels. He was
confident of winning Su Zhan in a fight, but it was obvious that the other man wasn’t his usual self. Gu
Bei was quite sure that he wouldn’t be able to defeat a madman.
A lunatic was capable of doing anything, even at the cost of his life. Upon knowing that, Gu Bei rushed
away, not wanting to die just yet.
“Gu Bei!”
Even though Su Zhan was sprinting after Gu Bei, thetter was also pumping his legs as fast as they
could go. As such, Su Zhan was not able to catch up with him. “Go, go!” Gu Bei hopped into the car
and instructed hisckey.
Theckey did not understand the reason behind Gu Bei’s fluster, but he followed his instructions and
started the engine. When Su Zhan was approaching the car, Gu Bei locked the car doors immediately.
“Gu Bei, get out right now!” Su Zhan banged on the car windows furiously.
Su Zhan’s breathing grew rapid and he burned with so much anger that even the veins on his neck
were popping out. It was a rather horrifying scene.
Gu Bei swallowed instinctively as he stared at the windows that looked like they were going to shatter
anytime. No wonder those two people are friends… They’re both crazy!
“Damn it, hurry up! Drive!” Gu Beished out at hisckey while cursing inwardly.
Theckey had already warmed up the car engine, so he mmed on the elerator when Gu Bei
yelled. The car sped away like a rocket, and Gu Bei was rammed against the back of the car seat.
Fortunately, he did not sustain any further injuries as the seat was soft enough to cushion the impact.
However, he did look rather miserable.
“F*ck! Is it your first time driving?” Gu Bei rubbed the back of his head while straightening his back.
Just as theckey was about to exin himself, he found Gu Bei stretched out against the rear
windshield, looking outside intently.
Theckey heaved a sigh of relief and focused on the road.
As for Su Zhan, he could no longer be bothered to go for the doctor’s appointment and obtain the
review of his grandma’s medical checkup results. He got into his car in a hurry, driving straight towards
Zong Jinghao’s house. He was dying to know what happened. How did Qin Yand in Gu Bei’s hands?
Su Zhan seemed to have understood why Zong Jinghao rushed back from Baicheng. No wonder it felt
like that guy was keeping something from him because that was indeed the case!
Su Zhan sped all the way to Zong Jinghao’s vi. He hopped off the car immediately after parking and
tookrge strides into the house. Inside the vi, Lin Xinyan and the two kids were asleep as they had
not rested much the previous night.
Lin Xinyan wasn’t initially sleepy, and she intended to stay awake to wait for Zong Jinghao. However,
she got drowsy while waiting and dozed off.
Meanwhile, Aunt Yu was on the balcony downstairs hanging the clothes the kids had changed out of
earlier on.
With that little bit of sense left in him, Su Zhan managed to exercise some self-control. He did not rush
upstairs to confront Lin Xinyan straight away.
Suppressing his turbulent emotions, he asked, “Aunt Yu, could I trouble you to get Xinyan toe
down, please? I have something to ask her urgently.”
Aunt Yu could tell that Su Zhan was in a state of fluster, but she still replied, “She’s sleeping now. Can
you wait for a while?”
Aunt Yu was merely concerned about Lin Xinyan’s health and did not want her rest to be affected. After
all, the woman was already heavily pregnant and felt tired easily.
“It’s extremely urgent!” Su Zhan’s breathed heavily.
Upon hearing that, Aunt Yu put down the clothes and headed upstairs to get Lin Xinyan.
She called Lin Xinyan’s name softly after entering the room. However, Lin Xinyan was sleeping very
soundly and was not roused.
As such, Aunt Yu proceeded to call her name two more times in a louder voice. Only then did Lin
Xinyan wake up. The moment she opened her eyes, she asked, “Is he back? Is anyone else with him?”
What Lin Xinyan wanted to know was whether Zong Jinghao had managed to rescue Qin Ya
sessfully.
Aunt Yu did not know what the woman was talking about and had a confused expression as she
answered, “Su Zhan is here. He came alone.”
“Su Zhan?” Lin Xinyan frowned.
“Yup, he seems quite disoriented and concerned about something. I told him you were sleeping, but he
insisted that I wake you up,” Aunt Yu answered truthfully.
Lin Xinyan rubbed her eyes and sat up. Feeling a lot more awake, she figured that Su Zhan must have
found out about Qin Ya and was anxious to know the details.
She put on her slippers and climbed out of bed before asking Aunt Yu about the kids. After Aunt Yu told
her that the kids were still sleeping, Lin Xinyan nodded and proceeded to head downstairs.
Su Zhan was pacing nervously in the living room when he spotted Lin Xinyan walking down the stairs.
“Xinyan… “ He called out to her at once and walked over.
“Let’s talk in the study.”
Su Zhan suppressed his impatience and followed Lin Xinyan to the study.
Once they entered the room, Su Zhan, who was hardly able to wait any longer, asked at once, “What
on Earth happened? Why did Gu Bei capture Qin Ya?”
“I’m not too sure of the details, but don’t worry, Jinghao and Peichuan are already working on rescuing
her.” The reason they kept it from Su Zhan was exactly because they were afraid that he would be too
agitated and end up doing something foolish with irreversible consequences.
“How can I not worry? We all know Gu Bei isn’t a gentleman!” Su Zhan cried out in a rough voice and
continued, “How could you guys keep such a serious matter from me? What will I do if… if something
happens to her?”
Lin Xinyan was at a loss for words; she did not know how tofort the man. She nced at the clock
and realized that it was already past noon, but there was still no news from Zong Jinghao. She could
not help but wonder how their talk went.
“I’ll go look for Gu Bei now!” Su Zhan could not stand waiting and not doing anything.
No matter what it took, he was determined to rescue Qin Ya from Gu Bei’s hands.
“Calm down!” Lin Xinyan berated him for acting rashly.
Su Zhan himself had said that Gu Bei was no gentleman. If that were the case, he should know better
that it wouldn’t be an easy task to get Gu Bei to release Qin Ya.
“How do you expect me to calm down!” Su Zhan bellowed. A secondter, he was suddenly aware that
he might be overreacting as he registered that he was not the only worried person.
“Sorry… “
“You don’t have to apologize. I understand how you’re feeling. Let me give Jinghao a call to find out if
he has any updates,” Lin Xinyan said and shouted for Aunt Yu to retrieve her phone from her room
upstairs.
“Just use mine,” Su Zhan offered his phone to Lin Xinyan.
He hade to Lin Xinyan instead of Zong Jinghao because he was afraid that the man would not be
honest with him.
Lin Xinyan looked at Su Zhan before taking his already unlocked phone from him. She then proceeded
to look for Zong Jinghao’s number in the contact list and dialed it.
At that time, Zong Jinghao and Shen Peichuan were already almost reaching the vi.
Shen Peichuan, who was at the wheel, turned around and took a nce at Zong Jinghao, “It’s not your
fault. The way Gu Bei spoke was too much. It’s normal for you to re up. Most people would have
reacted the same way.”
A deep crease appeared between Zong Jinghao’s eyebrows. From the way he was stalling for time, it
seemed extremely unlikely that Gu Bei would agree to an exchange of terms.
Zong Jinghao decided that he should not ce his hopes on Gu Bei and asked Shen Peichuan, “Have
your men managed to track Number Four?”
“I’ll give them a call to check,” Shen Peichuan replied.
In fact, while Zong Jinghao was talking to him just now, Shen Peichuan had already texted his
subordinates to ask about their progress but had not received a reply yet.
While Su Zhan made the call to his subordinates, Zong Jinghao’s phone rang as well. After seeing Su
Zhan’s name on his caller ID, Zong Jinghao frowned even more deeply and hesitated for a long while
before picking up.
“Hello.” It was a female voice.
Zong Jinghao took the phone away from his ear, looking at the disy screen to confirm that it was Su
Zhan’s number. Why is it Lin Xinyan’s voice?
He ced the phone back to his ear and asked, “Why are you using Su Zhan’s phone to call? Is he
with you now?”
“Yup,” Lin Xinyan answered. “He already knows about it. What’s the situation over at your side?”
Zong Jinghao had promised Lin Xinyan that he would bring Qin Ya back, but not only did he fail to do
so, but his rtionship with Gu Bei had also soured further.
Just when Zong Jinghao was trying toe up with an answer, Shen Peichuan turned around and
informed, “My men have reported that Number Four is at Nanshan Temple. They are following him
now.”
“Nanshan Temple?”
“Yeah, it’s strange, though. That guy doesn’t seem like a religious person. Why would he go to a
temple… “
Zong Jinghao and Shen Peichuan exchanged a meaningful nce as they suspected the same
thing. Could there be where he’s hiding Qin Ya?

“What is it about Nanshan Temple?” Lin Xinyan asked when she overheard the men’s conversation.
“Ask Su Zhan toe to the door,” Zong Jinghao instructed.
“Sure,” Lin Xinyan answered and hung up.
Then, she returned the phone to Su Zhan and conveyed Zong Jinghao’s message to him.
Su Zhan walked out of the door immediately after he got his phone back.
When he reached the main gate of the vi, Shen Peichuan drove in and stopped the car next to Su
Zhan. He rolled down the car windows and demanded, “Hop in.”
