Stealing Your Heart Chapter 879


    Two uniformed policemen walked into the room and said, “A fire broke out this afternoon at an


    abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs. Here’s what we found at the scene.”


    One of the policemen handed over a sealed zip lock bag that contained a mobile phone and a will.


    Jiang Mohan’s face paled a little. Coldly, he asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”


    “We’ve just began our investigations into the matter, but we believe that the fire was started by your


    wife as a means for her tomit suicide.”


    Jiang Mohan’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling a little light-headed, he wondered if the policemen were


    lying. How is it possible that Zong Yanxi tried to kill herself? No way!


    He took the zip lock bag from the policeman and inspected its contents. The mobile phone did belong


    to Zong Yanxi. The will, when he unfolded it, was written in her handwriting as well.


    It said, Mohan, there’s no meaning in my life anymore after losing you. See you again. No, goodbye


    forever!


    Jiang Mohan froze. Though he didn’t realize it, his voice was shaking a little as he asked, “Where’s my


    wife now?”


    “The fire was too big, so we are still unable to ascertain what happened to her,” the policeman replied.


    “Right now, I need to ask you a few questions. Have you and your wife been experiencing any marriage


    troubles recently? Do you think they might have a yed a part in causing your wife’s suicide?”


    Jiang Mohan didn’t reply. He snatched his phone up from the table and stalked out of the room.


    “Sigh…”


    Nan Cheng walked over. “If there are any questions, I’m free to take them.”


    Ling Wei nced at him, then ran out of the room and chased after Jiang Mohan.


    Jiang Mohan drove back to the vi. He flung open the door, only to find the housepletely empty of


    people. As he walked further in, he realized that everything was exactly as it had been when he left.


    However, the divorce papers he had left in a neat stack on the table were now scattered everywhere.


    He walked over to the table and nced down at the divorce papers. Zong Yanxi had signed her name


    on the dotted line, agreeing to the divorce.


    She…


    Has she really signed it?


    She seemed so reluctant to do so previously.


    Jiang Mohan fell onto the sofa in a daze. His entire mind was buzzing with fear. As he tried to organize


    his thoughts, his mind drew a nk.


    “Mohan.” Ling Wei walked into the room and stood in front of him. “You’ve already divorced her.


    Whether she’s alive or dead has nothing to do with you anymore.”


    Jiang Mohan looked up and fixed his eyes on Ling Wei. “Nothing to do with me anymore?”


    “That’s right. You married her in the first ce because you wanted to take revenge on her family.” Ling


    Wei squatted down before him. “Have you forgotten how your mother died? Are you behaving like this


    because you have feelings for her? Don’t forget that she’s your enemy!”


    “I’ve never forgotten!” Jiang Mohan clenched his fists. He still remembered the events that led up to his


    mother’s death. Back then, she was working as a helper in the Zong family home. A few weeks into her


    job, she had met her untimely demise.


    His mother was in a car with two other people, but the two of them emerged from the ident perfectly


    fine. His mother was the only person out of the three of them to have died.


    Jiang Mohan had knelt down next to his mother’s corpse and begged his father to seek justice for his


    mother. To his horror, his father epted the Zong family’s hush money, and refused to conduct an


    investigation into his mother’s suspicious death.


    “Mohan, have you forgotten how difficult it was for your mother to bring you up as a single mother in the


    countryside? Just when he started to make money, your father tossed her aside and left her to suffer


    on her own. You were going to wait till you were older to repay your mother for bringing you up, but she


    was murdered before you could do that. Are you going to sympathize with the people who caused her


    death?”


    Jiang Mohan looked away from Ling Wei. “No.”


    He said this very half-heartedly. Jiang Mohan wondered if there was something wrong with him. He had


    managed to take revenge after so many years, but he didn’t feel happy at all.


    “Since you’ve already divorced her, what happens to her from today onwards is none of your concern.


    Mohan, think of your mother up in heaven!” Ling Wei continued to press the issue of his mother. She


    knew that he was deeply devoted to her.


    Otherwise, why would hee up with a decades-long n just to avenge her?


    Jiang Mohan ced the divorce papers into a small drawer. Yes, he had nothing to do with Zong Yanxi


    now. Whatever happened to her from now on was no longer any of his concern.


    He took a deep breath to rearrange his emotions. “Let’s return to the office.”


    Ling Wei said, “Okay.”


    When they got back to the office, the policemen were still there.


    “From what I know about her personality, she isn’t the sort of person who wouldmit suicide. Please


    investigate this matter further.” Nan Cheng had a pretty clear understanding of Zong Yanxi’s character.


    Even if Jiang Mohan chose to divorce her, she would never give up her own life so easily.

    “Of course. You have my word that we’ll investigate this case very thoroughly,” the policeman replied.


    At that moment, Jiang Mohan walked over. Towering over all of them at 1.85 meters tall, he had legs


    that were long. His ssic ck suit hugged his figure in the right ces, showing off his built figure.


    “I’ve already divorced this woman, so whatever happens to her now is none of my business. I don’t


    care if she lives or dies, because frankly, that’s none of my business either. Please don’t bother to


    come down and exin the details of this case to me again. Thank you.” As soon as he finished


    speaking, Jiang Mohan turned to Nan Cheng and said, “Send the policemen off.”


    He then turned and headed straight into his office.


    The two policemen exchanged a look with each other. They nced at Nan Cheng and asked, “Did he


    really divorce his wife?”


    During their wedding, much praise had been said about the couple, who looked like a match made in


    heaven.


    However, they had gotten a divorce in the end, and the wife had even chosen tomit suicide.


    Nan Cheng nodded. “Yes, they’ve already gotten a divorce.”


    The two policemen grasped the situation immediately. They left to report the details to the chief police


    officer.


    Jiang Mohan decided to take his mind off this matter. He was very busy in the office now, and all his


    time was being taken up by his work.


    When the fire at the factory was finally extinguished, the firefighters discovered two corpses among the


    ashes.


    The workers at the morgue discovered that one belonged to a female, while the other one belonged to


    a male.


    The female corpse was identified as Zong Yanxi, while the identity of the male corpse remained


    uncertain.


    When news got out, everyone started wondering if Zong Yanxi had cheated on Jiang Mohan, and tried


    to have a little rendezvous with her lover.


    Far from a grand disy of the couple’s love, their wedding now seemed like aplete farce.


    At Aihua Hospital, Zong Yanxi sat stiffly before the television, a veil draped halfway across her face.


    Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and they were full of anger.


    “Why did you ask me to swap the female corpse’s DNA with yours? Why do you want everyone to think


    that you’re dead?” Gu Xian asked her, stuttering a little in his broken Chinese. He had spent his entire


    life living overseas before returning to China recently, and his Chinese was still rather patchy.


    Zong Yanxi turned to look at him. “Do you think I’m the sort of person who wouldmit suicide?”


    Gu Xian shook his head. “Life is precious. Only fools would kill themselves.”


    “I want to make everyone think I’m dead so that they will let their guard down.” Only then would she be


    able to take back what once belonged to her!


    She was the only daughter of the Zong family. She grew up as her father’s favorite, and he had made


    her the sole stakeholder of Wanyue Group on the day of her eighteenth birthday.


    Her twin brother, Yanchen, enlisted in the army a long time ago. He was assigned to a top-secret


    department, and Zong Yanxi had not heard from him for a very long time.


    Meanwhile, Uncle Shao passed away in the year Zong Yanxi’s younger brother turned twelve. He then


    went to C City to live with Uncle Su and Aunt Qin. After he turned eighteen, he inherited their business,


    the JK Group, and rarely ever came back to visit.


    All the Zong family’s assetsnded in herp, but she had carelessly given them away instead.


    Zong Yanxi refused to let her father’s biggest enterprise be taken over by outsiders. Otherwise, how


    was she to repay the kindness and love her father had shown her over the years?


    Gu Xian gazed at her with a look of respect. Zong Yanxi had experienced so much, but her love for her


    family remained at the forefront of her mind.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll help you out,” Gu Xianforted her. “You need time to recuperate first. Your injuries


    are pretty serious.”


    Zong Yanxi nodded and asked, “Have you found out what happened to your father yet?”


    “Nope, not yet.” Truth be told, Gu Xian was searching rather blindly. All he knew was that his father was


    in the country, and in B City, but that was very little to go on.


    The clues were practically useless. It was impossible for him to find his father using them alone.


    Zong Yanxi had made his acquaintance through work. During the fire, he had saved her life due to a


    miraculous coincidence.


    “By the way, what about the two corpses that were found on the site of the fire?” Zong Yanxi wondered


    if those two people had something to do with her.


    “I’ll help you investigate that. Truth be told, I have no idea who they are either,” Gu Xian said.


    “I meant to ask this—do you have a very poor rtionship with your mother? Why else would she have


    given you a name like Gu Xian?” Song Yanxi couldn’t imagine what sort of mother would give their child


    such an inauspicious name.


    “What does Xian even mean?” Gu Xian didn’t understand the meaning of his name.


    “You can look that up on the inte,” Zong Yanxi replied ndly.
