Stealing Your Heart Chapter 896


    Zong Yanxi got off and surveyed the surroundings and finallynded her gaze on a building that looked


    like a house.


    “Follow me,” Gu Xian said cautiously. He was not sure who he was dealing with since it was his first


    time here. Besides, he had to make sure nothing would happen to Zong Yanxi.


    Zong Yanxi nodded and followed behind quietly as they made their way towards the house.


    Gu Xian took the lead and pressed the doorbell tensely.


    In about a few seconds, someone turned the doorknob from the inside and a man with a distinctive


    scar on his face appeared before them. He puffed his cigarette right into their face and asked, “Who


    you lookin’ for?”


    “We’re here to see your boss,” Gu Xian replied ordingly.


    The man scrutinized him from head to toe and shifted his gaze towards the woman behind Gu Xian.


    “Hmm. I see we have a chick with us.”


    Gu Xian took a step to the side and moved right in front of Zong Yanxi, blocking the man’s view. “We’re


    here to see your boss,” he reiterated.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “D’ya know him? How d’ya find this ce?” the man interrogated as he sucked his cigarette.


    Gu Xian fixed his eyes on the man, thinking about how he should reply.


    I can’t tell him I ran a check on them.


    They’ll get suspicious. Things can turn ugly the moment they decide to put up a fight.


    But before Gu Xian coulde up with a good excuse, Zong Yanxi made her way forward and looked


    at the man in the eye. “We’re Ling Wei’s friends. She asked us toe over.”


    She saw Ling Wei talking to this man the other day, so she figured this group of people ran illegal


    errands for their clients.


    Since Ling Wei had sought their help not just once, but twice, Zong Yanxi was sure this man would


    remember her name.


    As she expected, the man’s hand jerked and he threw off his cigarette. “Ling Wei asked you toe


    over?”


    “Yes. We’re here for business,” Zong Yanxi replied.


    The man with a scar finally moved aside and made way for them to enter. “Come on in,” he beckoned,


    scrunching the cigarette on the ground with his foot.


    Gu Xian stepped ahead and went in before Zong Yanxi.


    The house was in a mess and random things cluttered the living area that would have otherwise been


    spacious. On the rugged sofa, a few men satzily with their legs akimbo. Some of them were lying


    around ying with their phones. But none of them seemed to be perturbed by the two strangers who


    just trespassed their safe haven.


    A few packets of unfinished snacks littered the coffee table that stood erected among a mountain of


    empty beer bottles. This telling disarray alerted Gu Xian and Zong Yanxi that they were in unfriendly


    company.


    The man with the scar sensed their uneasiness and let out a cautionary cough. “Hey, we have guests.


    Show some manners,” he announced. The lot looked up and adjusted their position tepidly before


    resuming whatever they were doing.


    The man with a scar rolled his eyes and turned towards the two. “I’ll let the boss know you’re here,” he


    said before vanishing up the stairs.


    He made his way back in less than a minute and invited them upstairs.


    “Our boss is ready for you. He’s upstairs,” he said.


    Gu Xian nodded and whispered at Zong Yanxi, “Stay behind me.”


    He made his way upstairs and Zong Yanxi followed behind closely.


    To their astonishment, the second floor was immacte and clean.


    Right beside the flight of stairs was a dining area with huge French windows. The whole space was


    well-lit and a man sat at the far end of the long dining table. He buried his head in his meal although he


    heard stepsing closer. “I heard Ling Wei asked you toe over?” he asked without lifting his


    head.


    Just as Gu Xian was about to reply, Zong Yanxi tugged his sleeve and shook her head lightly. “Yes and


    no,” she said loudly.


    As she expected, the man finally looked up and put down his cutlery. “What do you mean?”


    “She didn’t tell me about you per se. But still, she’s the reason why I found out about you,” Zong Yanxi


    said firmly.


    Instead of waiting for an answer, she continued addressing the man. “In case you’re wondering what I


    mean, it’s pretty straightforward. She once mentioned you guys and what y’all do for a living.”


    The man took up his napkin and wiped his hands as his re burned through the two guests. Their


    group ran illicit errands and the man did not like words getting out.


    But Zong Yanxi smiled back at him courteously and said, “We’re here to make a deal.”
