If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1023 - Chapter 1023 Chapter 1023 The Truth About Her Child

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: The Truth About Her Child Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: The Truth About Her Child “…” Xiao Mo’s face was full of black lines. Alright, he was being cliche again.

He stepped forward, took the brocade box, and asked carefully, “So, Mr. Shen, who do you intend to give this pearl to?”

He glanced at the black pearl in the brocade box; it was indeed round and full, flawless, and black with a lustrous shine!

“Don’t you understand?” Shen Chi deliberately gave him a look.

“…” Xiao Mo was speechless.

He really had to play this guessing game with him, but fortunately, he was smart enough.

He immediately nodded, “Understood.”

“Then that’s settled, you can go now.”

“Understood.” Xiao Mo left the CEO’s office with the brocade box containing the black pearl.

Shen Chi’s intentions were, in fact, crystal clear to him. Having followed Shen Chi for so many years, he was well-versed in some of Shen Chi’s methods and routines.

Shen Chi wanted to sweeten the pot for Bai Man since she hadn’t been making any significant moves for a while.

Everyone knew that Shen Chi rarely gave gifts to women, and receiving a gift from him was tantamount to an honor.

Bai Man had been looking to get closer to Shen Chi lately, but unfortunately, there were undoubtedly obstacles at home. By sending a gift at this time, it would be a huge encouragement for her.

Xiao Mo had to admit, Shen Chi really did understand the way women think.

Seeing through them too clearly, understanding too well, it was precisely because he didn’t love enough.

For instance, every time Shen Chi met Xu Chaomu, all his intelligence and wit vanished, just like any ordinary man.

Only in front of Xu Chaomu did Shen Chi become an ordinary man, a husband.

After returning to his own office, Xiao Mo directly arranged for someone to send the brocade box to Bai Man, and he even took it upon himself to include a note inside.

The note read: This black pearl is as noble and elegant as you are.

After writing, Xiao Mo put the note in the brocade box.

Xiao Mo also smiled. Having followed Shen Chi for so long, he had learned a fair share of superficial skills.

It was a pity they were used in the wrong place.

Shen Chi too, his girl-chasing skills were meticulous, yet he couldn’t win over Xu Chaomu.

Having handed over the item to his subordinate, Xiao Mo pondered for a long time.

Now seemed to be the right opportunity; Shen Chi was dealing with the Bai Family. Should he also go and tell Shen Chi the truth about Xu Chaomu’s premature labor?

That way, Shen Chi’s tactics would surely be even more ruthless.

Only by being more ruthless could they make up for some of the regrets in Xu Chaomu’s heart… although the pain of losing a child was forever irreparable.

At this moment, he felt especially sorry for Xu Chaomu.

He had never had children, but he knew this feeling must be like having one’s heart gouged out.

Similarly, Shen Chi’s heart must be suffering too.

Now, Xu Chaomu did not yet know the truth about her child, but she already had her suspicions. Once Xu Chaomu found out, she would certainly do something impulsive!

A mother’s love for her child is immeasurable.

When Wealth was hit, she was furious and wanted to tear Bai Man apart with her bare hands, and if she knew about her own child…

Then, before Xu Chaomu found out, he and Shen Chi might be able to deal with Bai Man.

Thinking this way, Xiao Mo filtered the situation through his mind once more.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that Xiao Mo finally walked into Shen Chi’s office.

Shen Chi was looking at a case report. When Xiao Mo came in, he was so accustomed to it that he did not even lift his head, just listening to Xiao Mo report on matters.

“Mr. Shen, the pearl has been delivered.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Mr. Shen, I have something important to tell you, and it’s not about work, it’s personal,” Xiao Mo said.

Shen Chi, who was flipping through documents, immediately paused. He looked up at Xiao Mo, his brows deeply furrowed, “Has Chaomu been found?”

Xiao Mo saw the eager hope in Shen Chi’s eyes, but he couldn’t tell him about Xu Chaomu’s situation, at least, not until Xu Chaomu was willing.

“Not yet,” Xiao Mo said.

“What personal matter could be more important than that? If there isn’t, I don’t want to hear about any personal matters during work hours,” Shen Chi said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

“It’s almost as important,” Xiao Mo said frankly.

“Really? Then let’s hear it. What’s the important personal matter?” Shen Chi was skeptical.

“I found out who was behind Chaomu’s premature birth, it wasn’t by chance, it was premeditated.”

“Oh? Who is it?” Shen Chi asked in an indifferent tone.

“Bai Man,” Xiao Mo said.

As he spoke, Xiao Mo detailed his findings to Shen Chi, including Bai Man going to the hospital to retrieve items from the female doctor, the subsequent murder of that doctor, and Xiuxiu being bribed. The same person had taken out both the doctor and Xiuxiu.

Both the doctor and Xiuxiu’s deaths were ruled as suicides, but they were not true suicides. The method of killing was very subtle.

Xiao Mo told Shen Chi that this matter had been long premeditated.

Xiao Mo told Shen Chi everything in detail, but Shen Chi’s reaction–or lack thereof–confused him. Shouldn’t Shen Chi be indignant?

However, after Xiao Mo finished speaking, Shen Chi’s face was as still as tranquil lake waters, completely unflustered.

“That’s all I’ve found, Mr. Shen, and it explains everything,” Xiao Mo said. “The Bai Man from five years later is very clever, she left no evidence behind at all.”

“So, what you’re saying is, you’re stating a case without any concrete evidence?”

“Mr. Shen… aren’t you surprised?”

Xiao Mo was indeed surprised. Why wasn’t Shen Chi showing any reaction?

Even if there was no hard evidence in hand, following the trail to identify the perpetrator was still something to celebrate.

“Sorry, I’ve also traced this back to Bai Man.”

“You did… when?” Xiao Mo was even more astonished.

“Recently,” Shen Chi replied emotionlessly. “What did you think my previous interactions with Bai Man were about? Just killing time?”

“Mr. Shen…”

In an instant, Xiao Mo found himself at a loss for words. The man had known all along.

His heart tightened. What about Xu Chaomu’s situation? Did Shen Chi know about that?

Considering Shen Chi’s reaction today, he probably didn’t know about Xu Chaomu.

“Yes, I found out a long time ago. So, leave it. If there’s any task, like delivering gifts or something, I’ll call on you,” Shen Chi said.

Xiao Mo’s mouth twitched.

“Then Mr. Shen, how do you plan to find the evidence?”

“Can’t you understand Chinese? I said you don’t need to get involved.”

Xiao Mo’s face filled with frustration again.

It seemed coming to report this had been a mistake.

“Fine, I won’t ask anymore. I’m just here to run errands,” Xiao Mo said.

“Yes, you may go now.”

“Alright…” Xiao Mo knew that one more word would try Shen Chi’s patience.

Since Shen Chi had a way to handle it, it was good for Xiao Mo; he was glad to be free of the burden. He didn’t have to deal with Bai Man’s matter and could focus more on protecting Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was in Jin City, and he wouldn’t let her come to any harm.

This way, he wouldn’t be responsible for any major projects and wouldn’t have to deal with Bai Man’s issues, maybe he could even make a few more trips to Jin City.
