Stealing Your Heart Chapter 578
Gu Huixin’s eyes shone. She thought about how Bai Yinning wasn’t a citizen of B City, and every
problem would be solved if her brother’s friend were taken to Baicheng.
Gu Bei only wanted to hide that person at their ce because their home was a safe location. That
friend of his would be even safer if he were taken to Baicheng.
Gu Huixin felt like Bai Yinning had done her a huge favor, so she said, “Yinning…”
Gu Huixin was about to thank Bai Yinning for his help when Zhou Huaihou interrupted his wife once
more by growling, “You idiot.”
Zhou Huaihou wasn’t angry about his wife almost confessing everything to Bai Yinning, though.
Instead, he was mad at her for not thinking things through. Zhou Huaihou red at his wife and pointed
out, “You know the kind of man your brother is. Besides, you’ve seen the news. That friend is obviously
not a good person, and if Yinning took the guy in, Yinning would be dragged into the drama and the
problem!”
Gu Huixin didn’t think of that because she was focused on solving the matter. Her husband’s reminder
got her to clear her mind. He’s right. I can’t get Bai Yinning involved in this. After all, my brother’s friend
caused such a huge problem at the temple.
Even Gu Bei couldn’t keep the guy hidden, so it had to be a grave matter.
Gu Huixin only had one daughter, and she refused to get her daughter or her son-inw in any trouble.

Bai Yinning had just reached B City, so he didn’t know what had happened. He pointed out, “I am not
an outsider, so you can share everything with me. I might be able toe up with some solutions with
you.”
Zhou Huaihou sighed and spoke with a heavy heart, “You just got to B City, so you don’t know how it is
over here. This ce is not like Baicheng. There are a lot of powerful figures here, and everything is
muddled up. We are keeping you in the dark because we don’t want you to be involved in any
unnecessary issues.”
Bai Yinning understood that Zhou Huaihou was being kind, but the former was genuinely trying to help
them.
“I am your son-inw, so I am a part of your family, too. You are Chunchun’s parents and are troubled,
so how can I, as Chunchun’s husband, not extend a helping hand? Please tell me everything, even if
there is nothing I can do to help. Please don’t take me as an outsider or see me as someone who can’t
handle the stress,” said Bai Yinning.
Zhou Huaihou sighed and asked, “Why must you be so stubborn?”
Zhou Huaihou couldn’t keep that secret anymore, not after how Bai Yinning had phrased the situation.
Hence, the former told thetter the title of the news article.
Bai Yinning fished his phone up and searched for the title that Zhou Huaihou gave him. The news
about what happened in the temple showed up immediately with tons of different media outlets sharing
the same news. A temple was a sacred, religious ce, yet a naked and wounded man had shown up
there. It was obvious that he was involved in something scandalous.
“Your mom’s brother, Gu Bei, wants to hide a man like that in our home. I can’t believe he actually
thought of doing something like that,” growled Zhou Huaihou.
Bai Yinning tilted his head down and kept reading the article. Heter saw a link to the article talking
about Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan shopping together.
That got Bai Yinning to hesitate for a moment, but he didn’t click on that other article. He kept his focus
on the article regarding the temple.
“That brother of hers always causes messes. He even went as far as making an enemy out of Zong
Jinghao this time, and that is why he needed to hide the guy here. Zong Jinghao would’ve found the
guy anywhere else,” grumbled Zhou Huaihou. He didn’t enjoy hearing about Gu Bei’s mess, but that
issue had gotten so big that Zhou Huaihou knew about it even though he had been deliberately
ignoring news about Gu Bei.
Bai Yinning turned to Zhou Huaihou and asked, “What does this have to do with Zong Jinghao?”
“I don’t know the specifics either, but rumor has it that Gu Bei’s friend kidnapped someone close to
Zong Jinghao. That friend, the guy in the photo, locked the victim in the temple, and he had to flee
when the victim was rescued. That is when the friend’s photo was taken. Gu Bei refused to let Zong
Jinghao get to the guy, but he couldn’t keep that guy hidden either, so he wants us to take the guy in.
His father had always wanted a son, and he only got his wish after years of praying. Still, he shouldn’t
spoil the kid like that. Gu Bei is too reckless and proud, and that will get him killed, eventually.”
Bai Yinning got lost in his thoughts after hearing what Zhou Huaihou said. Gu Bei kidnapped someone
close to Zong Jinghao? Who could that be? Was it Lin Xinyan?
The naked man in the temple was obviously a criminal capable of doing vile things. Bai Yinning’s eyes
turned evil when he thought about how it was probable that Lin Xinyan was the victim. Bai Yinning then
said, “Gu Bei is mom’s baby brother, dad, and he will definitely be offended if we reject his request just
like that.”
Zhou Huaihou didn’t care. “Men like that will be offended sooner orter. Since it is just a matter of
time, I might as well just offend him now. That way, I could be at peace sooner.”
Gu Huixin knew how her husband was, and she knew that there was no changing his mind after he had
decided. She couldn’t help but sigh. Her husband was the one she would spend the rest of her life with,
and her baby brother was just someone she was rted to. Therefore, she was closer to her husband
than she was to her brother.
“It’ste, Yinning, so you should go rest now. I will do as your father asks and reject my brother’s
request. He can hate me all he wants. We aren’t close, and he had never seen me as his sister,
anyway,” said Gu Huixin.
Bai Yinning wanted to fight a little more. He wasn’t doing that for Zong Jinghao, though. He was fighting
for Lin Xinyan.
“Mom, dad, I understand that you don’t want to be involved in anything Gu Bei does, but he is a
member of our family. Everyone would talk about us if we ignored his call for help. Chunchun and I are
about to return to Baicheng, anyway, so let’s get Gu Bei to hand the guy over to me. I will take him to
Baicheng and toss him in a random ce in the city. No one will ever find him, and that will shut Gu Bei
up,” said Bai Yinning.
Zhou Huaihou didn’t say anything. He was still reluctant to get Bai Yinning involved in that matter.
However, it was obvious that Bai Yinning was doing all that for their sake, and Zhou Huaihou
appreciated that.
Gu Huixin suddenly felt guilty about not trusting Bai Yinning in the past. He is thinking and worrying
about us when trouble knocks on our door, and that level of care is truly rare.
If Gu Huixin ever learned what Bai Yinning’s true intentions were, she would probably regret letting her
daughter marry the guy.
“Huaihou, let’s do as Yinning said and agree to help Gu Bei. The guy will be all the way over at
Baicheng instead of in our home, anyway. Plus, we won’t have to embarrass Gu Bei that much by
rejecting his request like that. He is my brother, so how about we help him just this once?” asked Gu
Huixin carefully as she stared at her husband.
She would not be able to do anything about it if her husband disagreed to it, though.
Zhou Huaihou turned to Bai Yinning and said, “Yinning, you don’t know how vile the things Gu Bei does
are, and I really don’t want to get you involved. As you said, we are a family, and I see you as someone
close to me. You are the man who will spend the rest of your life with Chunchun, and I don’t want you
dragged into any of Gu Bei’s business. Do you understand what I am trying to say?”
“I understand. We are family,” said Bai Yinning, to express his feelings as well.
Zhou Huaihou hesitated for a few seconds when he heard how genuine Bai Yinning seemed. The
former then asked, “Are you confident that you can steer clear and remain uninvolved in Gu Bei’s
issues?”
Bai Yinning replied firmly, “Yes, I am confident.”
Zhou Huaihou didn’t want to get too involved in the matter, so he turned to his wife and instructed, “Call
Gu Bei and tell him that this is thest time we will help him. Be clear about this and tell him to never
contact us again. I get a headache every time I see him. Your dad is not helping him by spoiling him
like that. The man’s killing his own son.”
“I know, I understand. Go ahead and sleep without me. I’ll go make a call,” said Gu Huixin as she
stroked her husband’s back.
Gu Huixin watched her husband return to their room before she picked the phone up. Sheter turned
to Bai Yinning and informed, “Why don’t you go rest up as well? I’ll tell you our decision tomorrow.”
“I’m not tired. I can wait,” said Bai Yinning.
Gu Huixin had no choice but to call Gu Bei with Bai Yinning right there. Gu Bei picked up quickly and
his voice rang up from the phone, “So? How is it? Have you spoken to your husband about it?”
“You definitely can’t hide your friend in my house, but I know where you can keep the guy hidden. No
one will ever find him.”
Gu Bei asked hesitantly, “What ce?”
Is there anywhere safe in B City? Where else could we hide a guy and be certain that he won’t be
found?
