If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1135 - Chapter 1135 Chapter 1135 She Actually Has a Guilty

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: She Actually Has a Guilty Conscience Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: She Actually Has a Guilty Conscience In the afternoon, Shen Chi drove back to C City.

C City was a place completely different from Jin City, bustling and lively, an international metropolis, lacking any hint of the small bridge and flowing water feeling of Jin City.

Back in C City, Shen Chi visited the courthouse followed by a trip to the corporation, extremely busy.

He was different from Xu Chaomu, as he couldn’t just leave C City behind; this was his empire.

Bai Xuan, who had received a subpoena from the courthouse, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing incessantly in the living room, his face filled with urgency.

His assistant stood by, not daring to let out a big breath, fearing saying the wrong thing.

After a long time, Bai Xuan finally spoke, “Have you prepared what I asked you to?”

“I prepared it, but the materials are really too scant. Xu Chaomu… has no real dirt.”

“In that case, call miss, and ask her!” ordered Bai Xuan.

“Okay, I’ll try.” The assistant went out the door.

At this moment, Jiang Zhilan walked in, her face also marked by panic.

“Master, what exactly happened? Why did I see a courthouse car stopped at our house’s entrance?”

“It’s nothing, you don’t need to worry, I’ll handle it.”

“What do you mean by ‘it’s nothing’? Is there something you can’t tell me? Come on, tell me, I’m feeling uneasy!”

“You had someone buy you a plane ticket, go abroad for now to avoid it,” said Bai Xuan.

“Abroad?! Has something big happened?”

“I told you not to worry, there’s no problem! Is there anything I, Bai Xuan, can’t solve?”

Jiang Zhilan fell silent, trusting Bai Xuan; in C City, Bai Xuan still had influence, and he had friends in the courthouse.

But there weren’t many things that could make Bai Xuan anxious… what on earth was going on…

“The car outside is ready, pack up your things, and follow my assistant abroad first. I will inform you if there’s any situation, keep your phone on,” Bai Xuan instructed.

Jiang Zhilan frowned, “Can’t you tell me?”

“I don’t have time to explain in detail to you. You go abroad first; I’ll inform you if there’s any progress.”

“Fine, fine, fine, take care of yourself. If anything happens, don’t just bear it alone. If you can’t solve it, the Shen Family definitely can, look for Cexian,” Jiang Zhilan said kindly.

Mentioning the Shen Family only worsened Bai Xuan’s mood.

“Enough, I know!” He didn’t want to say much more.

In C City, the Shen Family had always overshadowed the Bai Family.

If it hadn’t been for Bai Man, perhaps the two families wouldn’t have reached the state they were in today!

Whatever Shen Chi wanted to do, he, Bai Xuan, couldn’t stop him!

“Then, then maybe I should stay with you. If anything happens, I can support you; it’s always better,” Jiang Zhilan was still reluctant to leave.

“Your staying will only distract me!”

“All right… then I’ll leave now.” Jiang Zhilan realized the situation this time was quite serious.

She hastily packed some belongings and left the house, entering the car with Bai Xuan’s assistant and leaving Bai Xuan alone pacing in the living room.

Jiang Zhilan’s car continued towards the airport. All the way there, she was restless and anxious, questioning the assistant about what had happened, but the assistant could not provide any clear answers.

She couldn’t guess for herself, and speculating wildly led to no conclusions.

But, just as their car was about to reach the airport, on a quiet road, a black Maybach suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path!

“Shhh…” The tires screeched against the pavement as Bai Xuan’s assistant quickly hit the brakes!

That Maybach, however, remained stationary, and the people inside seemed to take it in stride.

“What’s happening? Who is it?” asked Jiang Zhilan.

“Looks like it’s President Shen’s car by the license plate number!”

In C City, who among the upper circles doesn’t know Shen Chi’s license plate number?

“I’ll get out and take a look,” said Jiang Zhilan as she opened the car door, her face tense.

But the person in the car wasn’t Shen Chi. Instead, it was several of Shen Chi’s men; Shen Chi hadn’t come personally.

As soon as Jiang Zhilan got out, the secretary in the driver’s seat turned to the bodyguards behind and ordered, “Take her away.”

“Yes!” the men chorused in response.

As Jiang Zhilan approached the Maybach, several tall and burly men took her to the car!

“What are you doing? In broad daylight, are you sent by Shen Chi?” Jiang Zhilan panicked.

Bai Xuan’s assistant saw the situation turn sour and hurriedly jumped out of the car as well.

“That’s right, President Shen has requested your presence. President Shen says you might not be comfortable living overseas, it’s better to stay in the country. The Shen Family has good food and drinks waiting for you,” Shen Chi’s secretary said.

Jiang Zhilan felt a sudden chill in her heart. Could it be that Shen Chi wanted to settle some scores with her?

After all, she did have a guilty conscience…

“Who said I’m going abroad? I’m just going to see a friend. President Shen is overstepping his bounds,” Jiang Zhilan said angrily.

“Mrs. Jiang, our president Shen has invited you, and you’re not going? Is any friend more important than President Shen’s invitation?”

With a signal from the secretary, the group immediately took Jiang Zhilan into the car, giving her no chance to resist.

“Hey, you guys…” Bai Xuan’s assistant chased after them.

The secretary steered the wheel and drove the car away.

Bai Xuan’s assistant became frantic, promptly making a call to Bai Xuan.

When Bai Xuan heard about the incident, he was almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood.

Shen Chi hadn’t done anything to Jiang Zhilan; he had merely taken her to a rather concealed house. He didn’t have the time to deal with Jiang Zhilan for the moment.

Of course, he had several accounts to settle with Jiang Zhilan alone!

Imprisoning Jiang Zhilan was simply a warning to Bai Xuan.

Right after Jiang Zhilan was taken, Bai Xuan’s call came through.

“Shen Chi, what do you mean by this? If you have issues, come at me, Bai Xuan. Release my wife!” Bai Xuan spoke with piercing harshness, very upset.

“I haven’t treated your auntie poorly, just reminiscing old times.”

“Where is she? Release her, and I can immediately give you 30% of the Bai Family’s shares!”

“So it turns out Auntie is only worth 30% of the shares to Uncle Bai. What if I tell her? Wouldn’t she be heartbroken?”

“You!” Bai Xuan was furious, “We can negotiate anything, don’t hurt her!”

“Of course not. I, Shen Chi, am a man of sentiment. I will just reminisce with Auntie, talk about some of the things she’s done before, that’s all.”

Bai Xuan’s heart tightened; he didn’t know what Shen Chi would do.

“Goodbye.” Shen Chi pressed the end call button, leaving no chance for Bai Xuan to respond.

“Hello?” Bai Xuan was both angry and annoyed, yet completely helpless.

He hadn’t expected Shen Chi to have men intercept Jiang Zhilan on the way to the airport!

However, there wasn’t much interaction between Jiang Zhilan and Shen Chi so he probably wouldn’t harm her.

Thinking this, he became even more anxious, with beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.

Just then, his assistant returned.

“President Bai, I’ve spoken to Miss over the phone, and we’ve got something good,” the assistant said.

Finally, a glimmer of hope shone in Bai Xuan’s eyes!
