If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1092 - Chapter 1092 Chapter 1092 Its Impossible to Find the Child

Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: It’s Impossible to Find the Child Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: It’s Impossible to Find the Child She was playing with fire, how should she retaliate? Shen Chi was heartless toward her, should she still harbor feelings for him?

The evening breeze was a bit cold, she hugged her arms close, her eyes icy as she gazed at the night outside the window.

She couldn’t sleep at all that night.

In the middle of the night, she tossed and turned before making a call to one of her subordinates.

“Miss Bai.”

“Is Xu Chaomu currently in A City?”

“Yes, Miss Bai, she’s on a business trip, alone.”

“Do we have people in A City?”

“Miss Bai, there are people protecting her in secret, seems like they are Secretary Xiao’s men. We can’t even get close, let alone lay a hand on her.”

“It’s that Xiao Mo again,” Bai Man ground her teeth.

“Miss Bai, why don’t we spread a rumor that Xu Chaomu and Xiao Mo are having an affair, and fabricate some photos? Mr. Shen, that man, is most concerned about his reputation.”

Bai Man fell silent, feeling there was some sense to it, only that such a childish trick seemed a bit too juvenile.

“Miss Bai, please make a decision, or shall we try to find the child at all costs?” Her subordinate seemed a bit anxious.

“The child is impossible to find,” Bai Man said, “You know how Xiao Mo operates!”

“Miss Bai, then…” Her subordinate was at a loss, a look of confusion on her face.

“Keep a closer watch on Xiao Mo, I don’t believe he can keep an eye on that child forever,” Bai Man said, “I’ll go personally in three days.”

“Okay, Miss Bai,” her subordinate nodded.

Bai Man hung up the phone, now full of anxiety, neither standing nor sitting brought relief, she felt like she was going crazy.

The blow Shen Chi dealt her this time was truly lethal, almost costing her life.

Two hundred million US dollars, was it? She would get it for him within three days.

Bai Man did not sleep at all that night, and only managed to doze off in a daze when morning came.

She almost slept all the way until evening.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhu called her again.

“Miss Bai, where is the charity dinner being held? I’ll come to pick you up then.”

Bai Man quickly sat up from her bed and said indifferently, “No need to pick me up, let’s just have dinner together. Just send me the location, I’ll make my own way.”

“How can that be, of course, I have to pick you up.”

“Mr. Zhu, you are too kind, truly, it’s too much.”

“It’s my honor to share a dinner with Miss Bai.”

This time, Bai Man did not refuse any further, she knew when to stop; if she kept declining, the man would take it seriously.

“Alright, then come pick me up at Wanjue Hotel on South Street, I’ll wait for you.”

“Okay.”

Bai Man quickly got up and freshened up; she knew that although Mr. Zhu was older, he was still very wealthy, she, Bai Man, should be able to handle him.

But two hundred million US Dollars was not a small amount, she couldn’t borrow too much from Mr. Zhu, it seemed she had to consider other options.

At seven in the evening, Mr. Zhu picked up Bai Man and took her to a Western restaurant.

As expected, Mr. Zhu brought a bouquet of bright red roses, each bloom dripping with allure.

“Beautiful roses for you, just perfect. Miss Bai, you look very beautiful tonight,” Mr. Zhu presented her with the flowers.

Bai Man took them with a smile, “Mr. Zhu really knows how to please, they smell wonderful.”

Bai Man indeed looked beautiful that night, in a strapless water-blue dress, coquettish yet not flashy, with demure laughter and an enchanting smile.

Mr. Zhu stared at her for a long time, admiration on his face.

“If you like them, I can give them to you every day.”

“Having someone give you roses every day is a joy, I like the feeling.”

“Giving Miss Bai roses every day is also a joy; I like this feeling too,” said Mr. Zhu.

Bai Man covered her mouth with a laugh: “Mr. Zhu is quite the sweet talker.”

“No, you deserve the best.”

“Thank you, I’m very happy,” Bai Man smiled.

The private room was quiet, just the two of them. Bai Man did not shy away from Mr. Zhu’s gaze, occasionally meeting his eyes directly.

The lighting was warm, orange hues casting a soft glow on Bai Man’s fair skin, adding to her allure. As the music played softly, the atmosphere was quite romantic.

Mr. Zhu poured Bai Man some red wine, which she accepted, lifting her glass to savor slowly.

During the meal, they talked about a lot of things, but Bai Man wasn’t very interested.

Despite her boredom, she pretended to care, listening attentively because she needed a favor.

The conversation gradually shifted from business to Shen Chi.

“Has Miss Bai been with Mr. Shen recently?” Mr. Zhu seized the chance to ask.

“Just ordinary friends. You can’t believe everything written in the media, Mr. Zhu. You don’t believe it, do you? A smart person like you surely wouldn’t,” Bai Man said with a light smile.

“Of course, there’s so much news in the upper circles, few are credible. Some even say I change girlfriends daily, obviously, that’s not to be taken seriously.”

“Mr. Zhu is a paragon of virtue, which I’m aware of,” Bai Man smiled.

“As long as you know,” Mr. Zhu laughed, “What others think doesn’t matter, I only care about those who matter.”

Bai Man smiled and said nothing more.

The two talked for a long time, and when they were about half drunk, Bai Man furrowed her brows and let out a deliberate sigh.

“What’s the matter, Miss Bai?” Mr. Zhu asked with concern.

Bai Man shook her head, “Nothing, just a bit tired. My family’s company needs some investment lately, and I’ve been unable to find a partner.”

“Really? About how much funding do you need? Would you consider me suitable?”

“You, Mr. Zhu, I couldn’t possibly ask,” Bai Man said playfully with a smile.

“Having the honor of collaborating with the Bai Family would be my pleasure.”

Bai Man demurred once or twice, hesitating to continue. But Mr. Zhu seemed very interested in the project, persistently asking her about it.

Bai Man then invented a project on the spot needing a partner, and the prospects for this project were good, albeit in the early stages with some funding difficulties.

Mr. Zhu listened intently, nodding continuously.

“Not much, just around fifty million US Dollars,” Bai Man dared not state two hundred million, such a figure would scare many away.

Even fifty million was a lot.

“That’s fine, that’s fine,” Mr. Zhu nodded.

“It’s just that this amount is urgently needed, if Mr. Zhu is interested in collaborating…” Bai Man didn’t continue, believing he would understand.

Mr. Zhu nodded, “Miss Bai, if you’re willing, why don’t we discuss the details tonight?”

He looked straight at Bai Man, his gaze not veering away but directly on her face. She understood his meaning, so naturally, she should understand his as well.

“If Mr. Zhu is sincere, we can certainly discuss it in detail,” Bai Man said with a laugh.
