Hmm? Bai Man didn’t quite understand his meaning, looking confused.

Although he was a reserved and taciturn person, what did it mean for him to reply with just one word?

Bai Man continued, “Shen Chi, do you also think so? You don’t feel sorry for that child, do you? You don’t blame me for making a mistake, do you?”

“Of course not,” Shen Chi said indifferently, “Didn’t I say it saves me the trouble of doing it myself?”

“You really think so?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about this again?” Shen Chi deliberately asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just feeling uneasy hearing rumors. As long as you think I’m right, I can ignore those rumors. I only care about you,” Bai Man said coyly.

“Mm, don’t overthink it.” Shen Chi still showed no emotion, and his words were devoid of warmth.

But Bai Man was still very satisfied; indeed, she didn’t care about anything else, she only cared about Shen Chi.

“Then you should get back to work. I won’t bother you anymore. Call me when you’re free, and we can have dinner together,” Bai Man said.

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Man finally put down her mobile phone with satisfaction.

It seemed she had been overthinking, Shen Chi apparently didn’t know about Dr. Li’s matter.

Then, who was investigating Dr. Li?

She parked her car on the roadside, staring out idly at the rain streaming down the car glass soundlessly.

The rain outside continued heavily, not stopping anytime soon, and a gloomy atmosphere hung in the air.

The water by the roadside accumulated deeper, and the weeds submerged in it, drooping their heads. The leaves on the green trees, washed by the rain, appeared especially fresh and clean.

The air inside the car was stifling. Bai Man bit her lip, gazing hard at the rain outside the car, watching the water trail slowly snake its way down the window.

Occasionally, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning flashed across ahead of the car, bringing even denser torrential rain.

After who knows how long, Bai Man pressed the accelerator and drove the car along the road!

The speed was very fast, she was driving like a madwoman on the deserted road.

A long time later, her assistant finally returned her call.

“Miss Bai, I’ve found out, it might be Xiao Mo’s people secretly investigating, and it seems he’s doing it behind President Shen’s back,” the assistant said.

Bai Man pondered for a moment, then said in a grave voice, “So it’s like that, what’s Xiao Mo trying to do? Retrieve justice for Xu Chaomu?”

“Miss Bai, Secretary Xiao is very smart, I think he will soon trace it to the orphanage,” the assistant said anxiously, “Have you forgotten? We had seen him at the orphanage before.”

Bai Man nodded, indeed, they had encountered Xiao Mo at the orphanage last time.

“Is he doing all this without Shen Chi’s knowledge?” Bai Man asked.

“It seems that President Shen doesn’t know.”

“Give the order for tomorrow evening to take away the son borne by that fox spirit. Send him to the mountains in nearby R City first, and for the rest, we’ll decide after he’s there,” Bai Man said.

“Okay, Miss Bai, will you come personally?”

“I’ll see how it goes; just prepare everything, and make sure he doesn’t die.”

“Understood.”

Bai Man held her phone, thought for a moment, and said lightly, “This Xiao Mo, secretly investigating these matters, are you sure it’s not under Shen Chi’s instruction?”

“It seems President Shen doesn’t know.”

“But Xiao Mo works for Shen Chi.”

“I don’t understand that either, Miss Bai, you’d better be careful,” said the assistant.

Bai Man felt conflicted, what did this all mean?

“Miss Bai, I will look into it further, so don’t worry.”

“Hmm.” Bai Man’s mind was in turmoil.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was pounding incessantly.

She had just called Shen Chi, and he didn’t seem to care about the child’s welfare at all, but why then was Xiao Mo investigating Doctor Lai behind Shen Chi’s back? Could it be that Shen Chi was pretending not to care?

If Shen Chi was doing it on purpose… Bai Man was suddenly shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

That’s impossible, she couldn’t scare herself like that.

Over this period, she had seen all the good things Shen Chi had done for her, so how could he possibly deliberately deceive her? It was impossible.

It must be Xiao Mo acting on his own, or perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Regardless, as long as she hid the child of the vixen, Xu Chaomu, tomorrow, then the child would effectively disappear.

In the eyes of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu, this child was already dead.

Besides, even Doctor Lai thought the child was dead, right?

She couldn’t scare herself, everything was fine.

She pressed her hand against her chest, trying to calm her racing heart, but her hands continued to tremble involuntarily.

It was better for the child to be sent away, seeing the child only reminded her of that vixen, Xu Chaomu!

She had parked her car on a secluded road and hadn’t moved it for a long time, right until the night had fallen.

On a rainy day, night came earlier, and in this wilderness, the darkness spread like fog and quickly enveloped everything.

There were no streetlights here, and it was silent all around, with very few cars passing by.

When night had fallen, Bai Man still hadn’t come back to her senses.

She really couldn’t guess what Shen Chi was thinking, and whether he knew what Xiao Mo was doing.

Feeling uneasy, she called Shen Chi again.

“Hello, Shen Chi, it’s getting late, are you free to have dinner?”

“I’m still working overtime, you go ahead and eat.”

“Shen Chi, can I come to see you tonight, it’s been so long since you’ve touched me…” Bai Man said petulantly, “If I didn’t know about your back injury, I might think you are really incapable.”

“But my back still hasn’t healed, some other time, okay?”

“Really not healed? You haven’t found another woman, and now you’re too exhausted to want me?” Bai Man said coquettishly.

“Do you think I, Shen Chi, am the kind of person who cannot keep himself clean?”

“Of course not, don’t be angry, I was just joking.” Bai Man laughed, “When shall we go and register our marriage?”

“I’ll visit Uncle Bai some day soon, and after I have his approval, I’ll take you to the civil affairs bureau, okay? Otherwise, I’m afraid Uncle Bai will beat me for eloping with his precious daughter.”

Bai Man chuckled: “You forgot, our families have a marriage agreement. So, my dad would be thrilled!”

“We still need to visit him.”

“Alright, I know you’re sincere, are you free tonight?”

“I’m really not free tonight, I’m working overtime, the project approval is not yet finished,” Shen Chi said gently.

“That’s fine then, go ahead.”

“Hmm.”

Without saying anything more, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

He was already tired of these entanglements with Bai Man. Right now, talking more than necessary with her felt extremely uncomfortable and also felt like a betrayal to Xu Chaomu.

Fortunately, action could be taken soon.

He silently glanced outside the window, where the rain today had been falling all day, and even now, the rain was still continuous, with a heavy mist.
