If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115 Chapter 1115 That Child is Not Shen Chis

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: That Child is Not Shen Chi’s Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: That Child is Not Shen Chi’s With that thought, he made a call to his subordinates and asked them to keep an eye on Xiao Mo.

He had never thought that one day he would have someone keep tabs on Xiao Mo.

In the past, Xiao Mo had always been the one helping him, his most trusted person.

He still remembered how over the years, Xiao Mo had stuck by him, fought for power with him, handled many trivial matters for him, and helped him secure a footing in Shen Group.

Because they were the same age, they had never separated over the years; he truly considered Xiao Mo a brother.

Now…

Shen Chi fell silent.

Back at Waterside Pavilion, he made himself a cup of black coffee and sat alone in front of the bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly watching the lights outside.

After a while, he picked up his phone, looked at the most familiar number, and pondered whether to make the call.

He was never an indecisive person, but when it came to everything about Xu Chaomu, he always hesitated.

After a long consideration, he put down the phone.

Around eight or nine o’clock, his subordinate called.

“Boss Shen, Secretary Xiao has not gone anywhere.”

“At home?”

“Yes, he went home after work.”

“I see.”

Hearing this news, he calmed down. Perhaps Xiao Mo and Xu Chaomu had not developed to the extent of infuriating him.

After drinking a cup of coffee, he went to his study to work.

When there were no social engagements, he was accustomed to working at night to pass the otherwise dull time.

He had been working for less than half an hour when his phone rang, and it was Bai Xuan.

A cold smile curled up at the corners of his lips as he slowly answered the call.

“Uncle Bai.”

“Shen Chi, I have something to ask you. Where are you now, and can you come out?”

“I’m sorry, Uncle Bai, but I’m not available now,” Shen Chi refused without any consideration.

“Fine, then let’s talk over the phone.”

“I’m busy with work, so please keep it brief, Uncle Bai,” Shen Chi spoke coolly.

He was giving Bai Xuan some respect; had he not, he would have immediately hung up the phone by now.

The words clearly paused the person on the other end.

“Shen Chi, has Manman signed several contracts with you?”

“Seven, big and small.”

“She has never mentioned this to me. I was completely unaware until she came crying to me today, saying she was forced by you and had no other choice. I hurried back to C City

immediately. I’ve looked over those contracts, and they truly are full of traps.”

“Uncle Bai, I’m not pleased with you saying that,” Shen Chi countered. “She has hands, and she was the one who signed. If there are traps, she has only herself to blame for not being clever

enough.”

“Your traps are too hidden. Even I didn’t catch them immediately, let alone Manman, who knows nothing about business.”

“If she doesn’t understand, yet still wants to make money, where on earth is that easy?”

“She was foolish, so I’m here to apologize on her behalf; all the contracts were signed recently. Could you see if they could be voided? You weren’t serious about them, were you?”

“Uncle Bai, she was foolish, but are you foolish too? Voiding a business contract? That isn’t something that exists in my rules!” Shen Chi said coldly.

Bai Xuan broke out in a cold sweat; he knew Shen Chi wouldn’t agree, and indeed he hadn’t.

“So Shen Chi, let’s negotiate, voiding some specific clauses. Financially, I, Bai Xuan, will contribute as much as possible. I know you’ve been working on that business street project, and I can invest unconditionally without asking for any dividends.”

“Sorry, Uncle Bai, but I’m not interested.”

“What are your conditions then?”

“The entire Bai Family assets!”

“You…” Bai Xuan had not expected Shen Chi to be so determined. “Then your contracts involve major deception and concealment; even if it goes to court, you might not win.”

“Is there a lawsuit Shen Chi can’t win?”

“…” Bai Xuan admitted defeat.

Though he was much older than Shen Chi, he was nowhere near Shen Chi in terms of cunning and connections.

Now, who runs C City is all too clear!

“Uncle Bai, take proper care of your beloved daughter. You have a few hours left. Choose between handing over the assets or going to jail.”

Bai Xuan’s hand paused; both options were impossible!

He had been mixing in C City for so many years. If he were to bow down to Shen Chi just like that, wouldn’t his time here have been wasted?

“Shen Chi, I don’t know what Manman did to upset you, but at least for my sake, let’s negotiate face to face, have a meal together,” Bai Xuan proposed.

Now, he was in the weaker position since all the signed contracts were in Shen Chi’s hands; Shen Chi had the upper hand!

“How come she didn’t tell you?” Shen Chi’s tone was indifferent. “Conspiring for wealth and causing death–shouldn’t this result in jail time?”

“Shen Chi, you know as well as I do, in our circles, a few lives lost by mistake really doesn’t count for much. Maintaining such a large group as yours, your hands aren’t necessarily clean either.”

“Bai Xuan, do you still not know whose life she has endangered?” Shen Chi sneered, no longer addressing him as “Uncle Bai.”

“I don’t know.”

Bai Xuan truly didn’t know; Bai Man had only told him that she had caused a great disaster and had signed several contracts with traps.

Then, Bai Man had just kept crying.

Hearing Shen Chi mention it like this, it seemed like it could be someone important to Shen Chi?

“Since you don’t know, then listen closely now!” Shen Chi raised his voice, “She caused the death of my son!”

Bai Xuan’s eyes widened. He usually didn’t involve himself in these matters, but unexpectedly…

“Bai Xuan, do you still think I, Shen Chi, would be merciful?”

“Shen Chi, perhaps you and Manman have some misunderstanding? I wasn’t aware of these things.”

“Then go ask Bai Man for clarification, instead of coming to me to bargain!” Shen Chi accused.

Bai Xuan wiped his sweat, aware that Xu Chaomu was pregnant, but he had heard that the child wasn’t Shen Chi’s.

“Of course, there’s no room for bargaining now; choose between the Bai Family and jail!” Shen Chi added.

Nobody should try to negotiate with him!

“How about this–give me a few days’ grace for my sake?” Bai Xuan tried to negotiate with Shen Chi.

“I can give you face, Uncle Bai, three more days.”

“Fine, three days.” Bai Xuan knew he couldn’t bargain with Shen Chi; Shen Chi was absolute in his decisions.

If Bai Man had truly harmed Shen Chi’s son, three days or three months would likely make no difference!

And from the current conversation, it seemed Shen Chi wasn’t interested in discussing further, just taking the opportunity to take over the entire Bai Family assets!

Shen Chi chuckled coldly and hung up the phone.

Pleading was useless; a decision he made was unchangeable.

Three days… It seemed he needed to take a trip to Jin City!

With that thought, he called his subordinates: “Keep a 24-hour watch on Xu Chaomu, and make sure she doesn’t notice.”
