Stealing Your Heart Chapter 958
This current interrogation with Wang was not the first one.
Chief Wu looked over to Jiang Mohan and concluded, “It seems like he really doesn’t have a clue.”
After all, Wang was a timid guy. If he did do anything, he would have confessed a long time ago after
so much intimidation.
Nevertheless, the man assured Jiang Mohan, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she does not get out of B
City.” In the city, everyone’s real name would be recorded so long as one purchased any public
transport ticket. This system worked in Chief Wu’s favor- he was already keeping track of all the
relevant records to figure out Ling Wei’s whereabouts.
He even deployed people to go undercover at bus stations and train tforms.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mohan carried out his own deductions. Knowing that Ling Wei was \not originally
from here had no rtives or friends here besides Nan Cheng, he spected that there was no way
she could leave the city. Instead, she was likely hiding in a corner somewhere.
He wanted to conduct his own search operations, but there was a problem- he had insufficient
manpower. There was only Chief Wu he could try his luck with. He began slowly, “Well, Chief Wu, your
subordinate lost the suspect. That means you take partial responsibility too.”
Chief Wu did not deny his charge. “Of course, I’ll see to his punishment and hold myself ountable
for this mishap.”
“Actually, I’m not exactly ming you. It’s just… I would like you to borrow me some manpower.”
“Oh? You have a clue as to where she is?”
Jiang Mohan replied, “They are merely spections, though I would want to have them checked.
Unfortunately, I don’t have many avable men with me.”
Chief Wu pondered over the request. Borrowing men to Jiang Mohan would not be a sh of interest
as they both shared a mutual interest in finding Ling Wei. But the real problem was that he had already
exhausted his human resources substantially for the undercover missions. After much consideration,
he agreed to lend him a maximum of three men.
Jiang Mohan nodded in acknowledgment. “Thank you, Chief Wu.”
Combining the manpower from Chief Wu and his own well-trained bodyguards, he was well-geared to
conduct his own operations.
However, Chief Wu interjected with a caveat. “There’s something I want to make clear though- if you do
find Ling Wei, you cannot take matters into your own hands. You must send her us, okay?” The man
respected thew a lot. If Jiang Mohan acted on his own ord, he would be breaking thew-
something that Chief Wu could not tolerate.
“Of course,” came the man’s reply.
But frankly, there were no guarantees. If Ling Wei refused to cooperate, there was no ensuring if she
would make it back in one piece.
The discussion soon concluded and the two parties departed on their separate ways. Jiang Mohan
went ahead to prepare for the search operations. Meanwhile, Captain Song sent Wang back into
captivity, knowing that he could provide no more information about the runaway suspect.
While the hunters were gearing up, the hunted herself made her way to the city outskirts. It was a ce
where mainly foreigners resided in.
Though the district was crowded and messy, she had no other choice.
Everything was going ording to n for her initially. She seduced Wang into bedding her, pretended
to be pregnant, then tricked him into preparing medical-rted documents.
But then, she was forced to undergo an unexpected medical examination which would have easily
exposed her lies. As a result, she had to escape frantically without a concrete n.
Luckily for thedy, she had a few hundred at hand during her stay at the hospital. After escaping from
the facility, she made her way here, to the outskirts. As she had no identity card with her, she could not
stay in an inn. Though, even if she did, she would not dare to do so.
Instead, she found herself a simple rented ce to stay. The furnishing was minimal andckluster,
with nothing but a wooden bed and an unwashed nket.
Thendlord was a chubbydy with a head full of curls. Dressedvishly with thick gold essories
on her neck, ears, and wrists, she looked as if she just recently gained a windfall. She swayed the keys
nonchntly before Ling Wei, stating that the previous upant was a bachelor and that if she needed
anything, she had to buy it herself.
“How much is the rent?” Ling Wei asked with concern. Her budget was tight and she had to n her
expenses well.
“One hundred and twenty per month.”
That’s way too expensive for such a tiny room, she thought. “The ce looks pretty run-down, can’t
you make the rent a little cheaper?”
Thendlord conceded and marked down the price to a hundred per month. “I can’t go any lower,” she
said impatiently.
Ling Wei had to make do. Drawing out her total fortune of six hundred, she handed over one hundred
to the woman, albeit rather hesitantly.
Once the transaction waspleted, thendlord left. “You can tidy the ce up yourself,” were her
parting words.
Ling Wei’s fists involuntarily clenched as she walked into the grimy room. A stench pervaded within the
four walls, and she had to try her hardest to suppress her disgust.
She shook out the filthy nket to see if it was still usable, making a mental note that the previous
upant must have been a very unkempt man.
It was not long before Ling Wei concluded that the stench of the nket would make it impossible to
sleep at night. As such, she discarded it without qualms.
Soon after, she decided to buy some food outside. Since the room had no windows, she left the door
ajar when she departed, knowing very well that there was nothing valuable enough in there for anyone
to steal.
The roads outside were bumpy, slippery, and dirty.
Thedy made her way to a small stir-fry eatery around the street’s corner and ordered herself a ce
of stir-fried noodles.
Following the meal, she was returning to the apartment when she encountered thendlord.
The plump woman was not alone- two otherdies who seemed to be of simr age were with her.
They were slim, had make-up on, and wore ck skirts and stockings. Their shirts were of a low-cut.
Lowering her head, Ling Wei moved towards the side of the pathway with no intention of greeting them.
Her tousled hair hid almost her entire face.
