Stealing Your Heart Chapter 622


    The look in Zong Jinghao’s eyes grew cold as he realized what Gu Bei had done. “Is that so?”


    “Is it not? I mean, look at what has happened to the great Number Four, Shen Peichuan!” Gu Bei


    sneered. “If you beg me right now, I might be merciful enough to let him go. How about that?”


    He started cackling like a madman as he continued, “Go on, say you’re sorry. Beg me to forgive you!”


    A look of hatred shed past in Zong Jinghao’s eyes, but he quickly regained his cool. “I’m afraid you’re


    in for a disappointment, Mr. Gu.”


    “Do you not realize the situation you’re now in?”


    “I haven’t got a clue. Mind exining it to me again, Mr. Gu?” Zong Jinghao asked casually, unfazed by


    the man’s taunts in the slightest.


    Gu Bei exploded with anger. “How dare you take that attitude with me, Zong Jinghao? You may be


    wealthier, but I’m far superior in terms of power!”


    “Are you sure about that?” Zong Jinghao smiled, sending a shiver down Gu Bei’s spine.


    Damn that sinister smile of his! Does he have a secret weapon or something? No, that can’t be… Shen


    Peichuan is his only strongest ally, and I’ve already gotten him out of the picture. Zong Jinghao isn’t


    close with the Wen family, so I don’t have to worry about them either. Even if he were, there’s no way


    Wen Qing would help him now that his own reputation has gone down the drain! There’s Su Zhan, but


    he poses no threat to me at all! I’ve got my dad and my sisters on my side! They’ve got powerful friends


    all over the country, so I’m definitely the more powerful one here!


    Gu Bei regained his confidence at the thought of that.


    “Your bluffs don’t work on me!”


    Zong Jinghao maintained that smile of his as he questioned, “Do you know what makes us so


    different?”


    “What?”


    “You indeed have a wide range of connections, but you’re forgetting something really important. Those


    in the light are incredibly vulnerable to attacks from those in the shadows. You may have done


    something to Peichuan, but, you don’t know who I have on my side.”


    It was obvious that there was more to Zong Jinghao than he was letting on. Gu Bei’s confidence


    wavered when he realized that. “W-What do you mean?”


    “You can’t understand such a simple concept?”


    Gu Bei was an impatient person, to begin with, so it didn’t take much effort for Zong Jinghao to get


    under his skin.


    “So you’re basically implying that you have more connections than I do?” Gu Bei wasn’t entirely


    convinced as he couldn’t tell if Zong Jinghao was bluffing. “Even if what you say is true, you haven’t


    won just yet!”


    The man then stormed out of the office and bumped into Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan at the door.


    “Oh? If it isn’t Mr. Gu…” Su Zhan eyed him from head to toe and sneered, “What’s with that look on


    your face? Did your dad die or something?”


    Gu Bei grabbed Su Zhan by the cor and shouted at him, “You got a death wish, asshole?”


    “So what if I do? You’re on our turf now!” Su Zhan alluded with a chuckle.


    Gu Bei hade alone, so starting a fight would only end badly for him. In the end, he had no choice


    but to let go of Su Zhan.


    “I’ll get you for this! Just you wait!”


    Su Zhan dusted his clothes off and shouted back at him, “Sure, I’ll be waiting! Make sure to give me all


    you’ve got!”

    The two of them stared each other down as if they were having an epic battle with their eyes.


    “Shen Peichuan!” Gu Bei sneered and strolled right out the door.


    Su Zhan was confused. Why would Gu Bei call out his name? Is he out of his mind?


    “Why did he call out to you?” Su Zhan asked Shen Peichuan.


    “He’s crazy. Just ignore him,” Shen Peichuan replied.


    “Are you sure?” Su Zhan felt that there was some hidden meaning behind Gu Bei’s actions.


    Shen Peichuan ignored him and entered the office. “What did hee here for?”


    Zong Jinghao walked up to him and asked, “I know something happened to you. Why didn’t you tell me


    about it?”


    Shen Peichuan sat down on the sofa. “You were busy with the preparations for your wedding, so I


    didn’t want to bother you.”


    Zong Jinghao was somewhat displeased with that answer. “So, what do you n on doing about it?”


    How could he keep something this serious to himself? What if things go terribly wrong? Doesn’t he care


    about his future?


    “What are you guys talking about? What happened to you?” Su Zhan asked Shen Peichuan, who


    simply lowered his head and kept quiet.


    Zong Jinghao tugged at his necktie. “You still won’t tell us?”


    “Captain Song called me to the station this morning. I saw some guys from the Prosecutors’ Office


    there. They told me that I’ve been used of bribery and that I’m suspended until the investigation is


    over.”


    “Gu Bei is such a shameless bastard!” Su Zhan eximed angrily.


    Zong Jinghao frowned. Being used of bribery is a serious issue – especially for those inw


    enforcement. It has a huge impact on their future. If Gu Bei is sessful in framing him for such a


    deed, Shen Peichuan will be done for!


    “What do we do now? Shen Peichuan’s reputation is at stake here!” Su Zhan asked anxiously.


    Fortunately, Zong Jinghao had expected Gu Bei to cause trouble while he was busy with his wedding


    preparations. As such, he was well prepared for whatever the man had to throw at him.


    Gu Bei’s main source of support was his father. Those brothers-inw of his only supported him out of


    respect for his Old Master Gu.


    Without his father, Gu Bei would lose their support immediately and be left with nothing.


    Therefore, the most efficient way to take him out was to eliminate his father.


    “You two head on back. I’ll take care of this.” Zong Jinghao stood up and grabbed his phone.


    “You got a n?” Both Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan stared at him in surprise.


    However, Zong Jinghao wasn’t in the mood to exin his n. “What, you don’t trust me?” he asked


    while raising an eyebrow.


    Su Zhan nodded but quickly shook his head. “Of course we trust you! Do you have anyone to back you


    up, though?”


    After all, Zong Jinghao was only a businessman, not a government official.


    “I may not have anyone, but my wife does,” Zong Jinghao conveyed mysteriously.


    Lin Xinyan had saved Shao Yun’s number in Zong Jinghao’s phone ever since she got a call from him


    previously. That was so he could ask Shao Yun for help whenever it was inconvenient for him to handle


    something personally.


    Lin Xinyan didn’t really know what kind of person her father was – she didn’t want to find out either.


    Wen Xian’s letter had stated that he was a good person, and that was all she had to know.


    Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan exchanged nces; they realized what he meant.


    Zong Jinghao wasn’t just talking about Lin Xinyan. He was also talking about the power and influence


    she inherited from her parents.


    Su Zhan felt slightly relieved in knowing that Zong Jinghao had a n in store for Gu Bei, but he was


    utterly disgusted by thetter’s actions.
